Help Accessibility Icon stuck on in Android 12

Upgraded my PIXEL 4XL to Android 12 last evening. On startup it automatically created the new Accessibility Switch Icon on my screen. Weird, as I do not/have not used any of the accessibility features. Even more strange it choose to use the icon associated to my ROBOFORM app.

So the ROBOFORM icon is on every screen. If I click on it is does nothing. I can move it about, I can fade it when not in use. However it will not go away. I've Googled the problem, it tells me how to turn off this switch. It is off. I'm guessing its an Android 12 bug. Anyone else have this problem? TIA
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Menu, turn off the Accessibility Menu shortcut.
On the Accessibility menu look for your Roboform, tap it to enter it, turn off the shortcut.

PDU File Opener for Windows 8 or Samsung Galaxy S4

Will this also work with a note 20 ultra?
I've have used WinZip and Notepad++ and I was able to open the SMS but I can't read it, even after changing the language it will has boxes and codes that I can't read.
I'm trying to open PDU files that are on my desktop computer and then I'll email them to my phone.

I've been working on this for 3 days now and I really need help opening these and and MMS files.

I prefer to use my note 29 ultras but if I need to use my PC or iPad, I have those available also.

Please help, anyone.


Thank You in Advance.

Software update ¿

If it is an update by Samsung, it is safe. They make every system update in their security system, so I can say that it is worse not updating rather than updating. It would be best if you were more accurate only with software that is not licensed. This kind of software can harm your files on your personal computer. But I don't have problems with it, because I am using only licensed software. O don't like risking, and I would better pay some money and buy the licensed version from softwaredeal store rather than the risk with my security.

Dropbox issue

If you look into your Settings >> Apps menu and open up the Dropbox app entry, is there an 'Open supported links' option or something with similar wording? (...which contains options like 'Open in this app', 'Ask every time', and 'Don't open in this app').
Also, check the Settings menu in the Dropbox app itself for anything that might be relevant.

Wow, Google *really* don't want my custom!

I never bitched about the batteries. But the size of my hands is a constant, and hence the ergonomics of big phones will never improve.

The problem is that big screens appeal to people who use phones for video and don't mind using 2 hands to operate them. I use mine as a utility when on the move, so one-handed operation is important to me, and conversely have many better devices for video. But phones are commodity products where most manufacturers make little money, so the tendency is to find one type of product where they reckon the money is and produce nothing else. Sensible-sized phones are not the first segment to die as a result.

But this is nothing new. My real indignation was Google deciding that the UK market could get by with the low-capacity version of the Pixel 6, even though they make higher capacity ones.

Better alerts of Text Messages

Textra will sort of do what you want:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra

It has a setting to wake the screen when you get a text and lets you repeat the notification up to 50 times, but plays them two minutes apart.

Now, for the notification sound... most notifications are only a second or two, but you can add longer sounds to the default Notification folder usually located in one of these locations:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
/sdcard/notifications/

Copy a long audio file to that folder and then you should be able to select it as your Text notification. If it's 30 seconds Textra would repeat it every 2 minutes, so it would play it for 30 seconds, be silent for 90 seconds, then repeat.
