Help A32: How to get a screen shot option in the running apps list?

T
I just migrated to the Samsung Galaxy A32 from another Android 11 device.

On that previous phone, if I clicked on the option to see the currently running apps, I would see a reduced image of the currently running ap, with an option to take a screen shot of it.

I didn't see an option for this in the A32. Did I miss it or do I need to install something to get that option in the place pictured above?

Help Getting Wallpaper Without A Samsung Account And Other Spam

T
Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I did a DuckDuckGo on "phone wallpaper", clicked on "images", and saved a few I liked".

After stumbling through many options to spam me and make me pay just to change the wallpaper I finally found a menu option to let me point to those images for the lock and home screen backgrounds.

I had a good impression of Samsung until that point :-)

Change phone to make 4G?

D
SM-A125F/DS is the full model number a Samsung A12 as I said above. LTE is listed but would you all agree LTE is 4G. There is no mention of 4G and my internet crawls even in the centre of town. Plus it's listed as Vol LTE2 on my little icons near the top of the screen next to the battery amount. Is there an app that checks it perhaps to see if it's 4G? As I said I bought in Hong Kong from the UK online. So it was delivered to the UK & use it in the UK. But there out of business now so I'm not going to cry over spilt milk on that.

I thought LTE would say 4G next to it which it doesn't. So is that definitely 4G?

Thanks.

Practical suggestions about backing up a phone

P
I was leaning over my aquarium to get a net when the phone that was in my shirt pocket...yah, you guessed. It worked for a couple more minutes after I took it out and dried it. In that couple of minutes I was able to download an app and back up stuff to the memory card...I am not sure yet if it was set up to back up the data or not..i will have to wait. I put the phone in my dehydrator, hoping that it would mitigate any damage that the water did, and will take it to a shop as soon as possible.
I have a new phone now. I do not want to do a complete restore of the old phone. I would like to set up my own system of folders and change settings in each app (if allowed) to store files where I want them to be. Still, I seldom have to do this and would welcome any input you have about efficient and secure ways to set up a new android phone. It is a xiaomi Note11 Pro. I have friends who have this and have not had any issues, so I thought I would try one out.

Restoring chats from a phone backup made by TWRP

S
This procedure can be used when Whatsapp is installed on a new phone or when an old phone had been reset and no new chats had been created since the backup used. The phone Huawei must be rooted. Restoring chats from SD card failed. Copy the backup made by TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) on SD card to PC. It contains a file:
data.ext4.win000
that can be opened by WinRAR. Navigate to folder:
data.ext4.win000\data\data\com.whatsapp\databases
and extract it using WinRAR on PC.
This folder contains among many others the message db (msgstore.db) file in clear, not encrypted format. Using AirDroid or MyPhoneExplorer copy this folder to the SD card.
After installing WhatsApp the complete folder must be copied to the database location on the phone using a root explorer, e.g. Solid Explorer, overwriting the present "databases" folder:
/data/data/com.whatsapp
Now, Whatsapp will show only the chats from the backup.

Deep Links and Instant Apps

J
Hi all,

I am attempting to implement deep links within my Instant App, and keep running into issues that seem to be coming from something to do with the base application. Currently, the error I'm receiving from the Play Console states:
You should have at least one active installed app APK that mapped to site 'example.site.com' through a web intent-filter.
Click to expand...
I do have an intent-filters set up in both the instant app and in the full base app. The intent-filters in the base application look like this:
Code: 
<intent-filter>
                <data
                    android:scheme="http"
                    android:host="example.site.com"
                    android:pathPattern="/test/app/" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <data
                    android:scheme="https"
                    android:host="example.site.com"
                    android:pathPattern="/test/app/" />
            </intent-filter>

And the intent-filters in the instant app module's manifest look like this:
Code: 
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

                <data
                    android:scheme="https"
                    android:host="example.site.com"
                    android:pathPattern="/test/app/" />
                <data
                    android:scheme="http"
                    android:host="example.site.com"
                    android:pathPattern="/test/app/" />
            </intent-filter>

With the instant app manifest also containing a default url, set up within the activity tag.

I'm not sure what I am missing here. I have set up the intent filters as I've seen elsewhere on the web, in Google's documentation, and in other forum posts where I've seen people encountering issues with this process. I've also hosted the assetlinks.json file in the .well-known directory on my domain, and verified that it is correct and accessible using Google's verification API. Does anyone know what the issue causing this error may be? Thanks!

Help What is this app???

Hadron
Given the number of different message apps there are in the Play Store you will be lucky if anyone can answer this (search the Play Store for "message", "messages" or "messenger" and see how many results you get - and that's before we consider apps like Skype that aren't primarily message apps but can receive messages too). All I can tell you for sure is that it's not one of the better-known message apps, and that unless someone who uses the exact same app sees this it's unlikely you'll get a definite answer.

To be honest, your best bet if you really want to know is probably to ask them.
