it could also just be that your phone is old now. most phones have a life span of about 3-4 years. mainly because of the battery as well support for the phone usually ends around that time. and the same will go for the software. older android os will not get supported by most devs and so apps will either stop working or start to misbehave.

I have a Pixel 4A. I like to be able to copy text from a webpage and put it in a note or voice reader. Hasn't been a problem in the past. But suddenly in both the Chrome browser and the Samsung Internet browser I installed, when I select the text, either by frame handles or "Select All", all the Copy functions disappear and I just have the selected text but no way to do anything with it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsun Browser, rebooting, clearing GBoard and Browser specific storage and cache, etc, but can't seem to get this functionality back. Is there a setting I am missing or any other ideas on how to get this working again in the browsers?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

check your alarms as well as maybe your calendar for any upcoming notifications or alarms. and don't use anti-virus apps, there really are not any viruses on android.....malware, yes, viruses, no. i would start again with your most recent apps and work your way backwards. the one thing i would do is before you uninstall the app, make sure that you wipe cache and data. often times, some apps will leave cache and data intact and thus you could potentially still have the issue as sometimes it remains within cache and data. once those are deleted then you can uninstall the app.

When you're microSD card was just a typical 'Portable' card, it was formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. The FAT file system is dated, unsupported but still proprietary (Microsoft), and has all kinds of limitations as storage media with today's technology. But support for it is essentially added to every modern platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS, etc.) so there's that compatibility factor that keeps it around -- we can take a new card out of its packaging and just use it to transfer files from a computer to a mobile device as is. Convenience over practicality.
But when you manually format a microSD card to be 'Internal', that's a significant change. The card's file system gets changed to ext4, replacing the FAT file system, and it gets encrypted, with the encryption key then tying the card directly to the phone. So that that point, the card is essentially an internal component to the phone -- the phone's internal storage memory and the card's storage memory are now merged as one, now larger file system. The ext4 file system change now matches the same ext4 file system that's the default for Android internal storage media, the encryption key now means you should not physically remove the card now. Aside from creating an Android instability problem, the card's not going to be readable by any computer nor mobile device anyway.

Basically, once you set the card up as Internal, you should stop trying to interact with it in any way. Stop trying to use a file manager app, stop trying to manipulate the card contents in any way. At this point, the installed Android operating system on your phone is managing and maintaining the card as part of the overall storage media.
If you decide later you want to use this card as Portable again, be sure to use the Settings >> Storage menu in this same phone to format the card back to Portable, and be sure to read the warning messages that pop up, This is something of a drastic measure so don't be surprised if later you need to reinstall a few apps.
When the card is Portable again, it's a FAT file system and the encryption removed.

Bluetooth is so handy when it just works, such a pain when it doesn't.
Try going into your Settings >> Apps menu, and in the three-dot icon in the upper right select 'Show system'. Scroll down to any Bluetooth entries (most likely more than one) and Force stop then Clear data for each. Then restart your phone and see if this made any difference.

I've done some more investigation and now have a slightly different understanding. The version of Gradle that you use determines the max version of java that you can use for your gradle builds. See docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html. For example, I'm using gradle 7.4 and I use Java 14 to build my custom gradle plugins. The version of java that you use for your gradle builds has nothing to do with the version of java that android supports. It's the combination of the version of your android gradle plugin and your android sdk that determines what java language features you can use. Your andoid/SDK/build-tools directory contains a D8.bat file. D8 is the build tool used for converting java into dex. That batch file finds an appropriate java jdk to run the d8.jar file also contain in your build-tools directory. I'm not sure if this program takes java files as input or java class files, but I think it's the later. In my case, the java jdk it uses to run the d8.jar is a java 8 compiler. That compiler (jdk version) gets set up by Android Studio. Be aware that newer versions of Android Studio could embed a different compiler. I'm using Android Studio 2021.2.1, which is the most current version at the time of this posting. That warning message D8: "One or more classes has class file version >= 56 which is not officially supported", comes from that process. So essentially, that process seems to be saying that it ownly reliably supports java class file formats up to verion 55 which is of course Java 11. That said, android itself currently only supports Java 7 in its entirety and a subset of java 8. Here's a link to the subset of java 8 features that android supports: Use Java 8 language features and APIs | Android Developers. That link says that in order to those java 8 features you must set sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility to Java 1.8. My guess is that if you set those options to a higher value it treats it like you set it to 1.8; it doesn't give you any errors; and it just confuses everyone as to what that means since most of us provide configuration data by example of what others have done. Again, that's just a guess. So what that D8 program does, is to take your input and builds dex code that is compatible to run on android. So if you use, some features that are not java 7 or part of the subset of java 8 that android supports, it apparently figures out a way to do that, perhaps with the addition of some added support code which may vary depending on the verion of the SDK version you're targeting. This process is known as desugaring. I'm going to guess that you'll get some kind of error if you provide a language feature that the d8 program doesn't support. That's probably why android documentation is pretty vague on the issue of java compatibility; it depends on your configuration.

I've been using sqlite forever. Finally decided to update my app to room database. Converting it was a treat but afterwards I realized I may have lost a functionality that the DBHelper allowed me to do.

I am currently getting LiveData<List<type>> return from the Dao of my main table. Getting that through a Repository and a ViewModel which holds the LiveData along with an observer. In the database helper I had a routine after iterating the cursor that created a List<object>. The regular rows + header objects mixed in with them. i could then check for type in the Recyclerview adapter and either create a header or a row.

In the Dao I have several @Query lines but not sure how to use the Query to return the same result. I could get the List<type> from the viewmodel observer and work a little mojo on it finally passing it into an object list and use that for the Recyclerview adapter. The livedata would keep the feed up to date. Is there a better way?

Hello.

I am migrating Whatsapp to a new phone with Android 11 from an old phone with Android 8.

Followed steps outlined here:
https://www.techbout.com/restore-whatsapp-from-local-backup-android-phone-55696/

Long story short:

- Online backup is messed up
- Didn't backup app's data folder in root/Android/media

Tried restoring from local chat backup in Databases by renaming desired backup to msgstore.db.ctypt14 and it didn't work.

Also what is "chatsettingsbackup.db.crypt14" file in Backup folder?

Productive text is GARBAGE. So bad I'd get a new phone if i mule afford it. Other keyboards work momentarily but I find they act up too all I've been able to do with consistency is long press the key i want then the 3 or 4 options for that key pop up and i scroll to the letter i want release it go to next letter and so on til the word i want finally pops up. I use T9. Good luck

...Talked with samsung rep on the phone and they told me to call my cell carrier. I am now confused, I thought this would be a hardware feature, not dependant on my carrier.

Yes it's a hardware feature but your phone already includes support for phone calling and for WiFi connectivity. The actual WiFi Calling service is dependent on whether your account with your carrier includes it. Contact your carrier.

Text editors exist, by design, to work only with text. Use word processor or other similar office suite app.

unfortunately you can't downgrade your phone, once it has been updated.

maybe try these suggestions:

I mainly use analogue timepieces, but when I look at a digital clock (like in the corner of this laptop right now)... nope, it's just the time to me.

I always set any digital clock to 24 hour mode though - since public transport timetables are 24 hour it's always made more sense to me to use that (on this side of the Pond the American name "military time" sounds weird, since here it's more likely to be associated with train timetables than the military).

ok took a drive and the cameras did connect, not real great but enough for me to see cars going by the house and the dogs messing up the living room.
so for now i think it is doing about as good as i can expect for a free phone number and data.

thanks

Because my battery is holdinv pretty good until about a week ago. At evening i put it to charge and in the morning i almost always get from device care the message that some apps were closed and i get this com.android.chromerivileged_process4. Also if i close all apps including chrome doesnt make any change, battery still going down pretty fast, by fast i mean like about 8 hours not using my phone. But before was easily holding all day long using the phone.

Click to expand...

well "com.android.chrome" is your chrome browser and "priveleged process4" has to do with your permissions. you might want to clear or change permissions for the chrome browser and see if that helps:
https://support.google.com/android/answer/9431959?hl=en

if that does not help, you can do a few things.
1. reboot your phone
2. put your phone in safe mode. this prevents any 3rd party apps from running.
3. factory reset your phone

if those do not work, then like i said your battery is probably on its way out, so maybe now is the time to start looking for a new phone.
