samsung galaxy s6 edge phone which is stuck on Samsung Logo

Regarding that XDA link, you need to take the time to read through it thoroughly and pay attention to details. The first introductory posting states some important requirements because the following posts to the thread can't be done otherwise. Or in other words, there are conditional requirements and if your phone doesn't meet one of them, it's not going to happen.
In your case with a dead display you can't just start up your phone and go through the process needed to enable USB Debugging in the phone's Developer Options menu. You also need to have a custom Recovery installed (not possible without a working screen) so that's a dead issue too.
Given the things you've tried to restore your phone back to working condition, unless you have a sizable budget set aside for such things, I'd put data recovery on a low priority and just start looking forward to a new phone.

Gboard shadow keeps rendering when keyboard is hidden

I did all that prior to making this post as those are the very basic things to do.
Yes, but you didn't mention just what you did or did not do prior to posting your question. We can't read minds nor virtually detect if anyone has or hasn't taken any steps before making a post here. Everyone has a different skill level so whether any posts being made here will always require some guessing and interpretation.
But getting back to your initial query, have you tried a different keyboard app instead of Gboard? The Microsoft's Swiftkey app is very popular and feature rich, or a nice option not tied to corporate oversight is Simple Mobile Tools 'Simple Keyboard' app.

Calendar help

Try having your friend go through these steps so you can add her Apple calendar to your Google Calendar app:
https://www.chriswrites.com/how-to-get-your-icloud-calendar-on-android/
or an alternative you might want to try instead is using an app that attempts to do the same thing:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.granita.caldavsync&hl=en_US&gl=US

The thing is, she's using a calendar that's tied to Apple's service. It's being managed and maintained on Apple's online servers. You on the other hand are using a calendar that's tied to Android and it's being managed and maintained on Google's online servers. Her iPhone is linking to her Apple account, your Android phone is linking to your Google account. Apple's business model is based on being an exclusive and, by intent, isolated so sharing data with other platforms would be a plus point for all users but it's a big minus point for Apple's oversight over its own environment. It's something that's a big part of why Apple is so obscenely wealthy and profitable. So when you want to just set up something as simple as syncing between the two different platforms, it's going to involve some extra effort.

New interface to Android Messages app

If they were just security updates I'd have no problem. But constant UI redesigns are too much. I like what I'm used to and am not hurting anyone remaining stuck where I'm most comfortable.

Heck, it annoys me when Walmart rearranges stuff that makes a 30 minute shopping trip turn into a two hour hunt for where everything got moved to. It's one reason I'm frequenting the antiquated grocers around town and in many rural Mayberrys today. I find the experience far better than the 'modern' way.

Good luck changing anything on my flip phone since it has no data plan. The worst that can happen is they kill 4G like they did 3G and not offer a flip phone period, and I'm hoping I'm long dead before that happens. Not everyone likes modern and I'm one of 'em. I prefer what I've grown used to using.

Gosh I'm sick of futurists who feel threatened by people like myself who prefer older methods. I ain't doing anything wrong! Use what you like, upgrade as you wish. Just don't expect me to agree or participate. We're all different. I've tried multiple times to use oversized smartphones and just can't. I lack the dexterity to do so, especially with gestures being more and more enforced which make no sense. My ZTE Cymbal works just as the RAZR did in 2005. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to navigate a flip phone. Constant relearning of smartphone UIs was just too much. I'd have been happy to keep using my Thunderbolt as it served my needs perfectly but the carriers are full of futurists who prefer to screw older people over and enough is enough!

official android Bluetooth driver + support files ??

The comments at the top of each source file tells you which Bluetooth modules it covers.

For covering the different Android releases, navigate up to https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/, click on the tag you're interested in, and then scroll down to the list of files included in the tag and go through the drivers -> bluetooth tree again.

Maybe if you told us what you're hoping to to with the drivers once you find the correct ones then we might be able to provide better assistance.

Very annoying problem with Realme 8

Is there an approximate day of each month when this problem occurs? Early in the month? Middle? Late? Or is it too random to pin down?
There's apparently something happening in the background on your phone that's triggering this odd behavior, and for only a limited time period. Finding what the actual cause that correlates with something like this might be a real challenge.

There's a 'Running services' option in your phone that will show you a more comprehensive listing of running apps and services than the Settings >> Battery menu. (The Battery menu will only show apps, there's a possibility that the problem could be an app but just as likely due to some background Android OS process or service.) But you do need to enable the Developers Options menu in order to access Running services. The Developers Options menu is a part of the installed Android OS on your phone, but it's typically hidden by default (use it judiciously and with intent, don't just randomly experiment with things as some of them can really mess up your phone).
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-view-all-running-services-on-android-11/
Anyway, take note of the what apps and services are typically running when your phone is working normally. Note that listing is going to vary constantly. When that weird behavior does occur, check Running Services again to see if anything stands out as odd.

Astroyogi Astrologer: Online Astrology & Horoscope

I have been using this app for a while, and I have to say that it is the best one I have come across. The astrologers are very knowledgeable and seem to know what they are talking about. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking for an online astrology consultation. I found it while searching for midheaven in Capricorn careers, and it shocked by the results I got. Also, I've found some interesting articles that I can recommend you to read where each career path is detailed.

How to fix picture is upside down on screen

Hi all,

I need to setup remote desktop on Android mobile as follow;

1) Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone(phone-1) as camera, mounted at the end of an extension rod.
Software running - Teamviewer Quickconnect App

2) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone(phone-2) as "remote controller", mounted at the handle of the extension rod
Software running - Teamviewer Remote Control

It works. phone-1 can be remotely controlled on phone-2 to capture video seamlessly.

The only problem is;
phone-2 can't be mounted horizontally. It can only be mounted vertically.

If phone-2 is mounted horizontally, the video on its screen is inverted. The picture is upside down.

Please advise how to fixed the problem. Thanks in advance.

Help Unable to download MMS on wifi without roaming while traveling internationally (S9, T-Mobile)

Hi all,

I have a stock S9 on T-Mobile and use Google Messages and/or Samsung Messages (the built-in app.)

I travel internationally and recently started receiving "gentle" reminders from T-Mobile that "roaming benefits are not intended for extended use abroad." You know, "Sprint + T-Mobile, better together", blah blah blah.

I am usually on wifi so I disabled roaming expecting hardly any consequences. And had no issues except I discovered that I am unable to download MMS messages (photos or texts in groups) UNLESS I enable roaming again.

You can't receive MMS from WiFi, not unless you have WiFi messaging and calling service from the carrier. If that can be done internationally while roaming, no idea.

This is happening with both Google Messages and Samsung Messages apps.

Is there some setting or configuration that I am missing or is it that wifi is not enough and mobile data/roaming is required?

My concern, of course, is that T-Mobile will press the issue if this scenario continues.

Thanks in advance

I don't know T-Mobile's international roaming tariffs and policies. But if you're not careful you could end up with a huge phone bill, like hundreds, or even thousands I've heard of. As many carriers charge a real premium for receiving incoming SMS and MMS when roaming.

Suggest you find an alternative way of messaging, like using WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal possibly, as those can be done on WiFi alone.
