Pixel Wireless Charging

Sounds like you got lucky!

The turd that is my every day driver will not charge fast enough when I am using it- unless it already has +90% charge.
At that point it will keep up and even gain slowly.

I attribute this to having the brightness all the way up (a must in the car or at work) and having a horrible cellular service with the weakest signal strength.

Call screen blanks out

I kind of don't think it's the proximity sensor because all three Android phones I've had do that even when you put it on speaker and hold it away from you the screen's not blocked any of that stuff it's strange after 10 seconds not even that because blank you have to hit the home button to clear it up
My Samsung Note 10+does not have this issue. Maybe your specific phone model might be the issue.

Just to see if this is not a software issue. Try putting it in safe mode and see if the issue is still there. If it is, then you might want to think about doing a factory reset. If by then your issue is still there, then we have a hardware issue. You can then decide if you want to fix it, get it replaced, or upgrade to a newer phone.

How to manually transfer application data i can pay for help

For some reasons, it is impossible to recover the password (it's a banking apk). So I have to download this application on a physical phone and transfer some data from MEMU?

If it's a banking app, those are usually made to be very secure against bypassing and hacking the security, like the passwords.

Maybe try contacting the financial institution concerned, and see if they can suggest anything?

Is it a bitcoin wallet or something you want to transfer to another device , this "important data"?

Call recorder records Empty - 3gp files

Maybe a problem with the Call Recorder app itself?
But as it's sideloaded from Uptodown, could be it's incompatible with your particular phone or tablet? Try installing it directly from Play Store instead?

Of course I'm not going to try this app, no need as my phone can record phone calls.

This can be a problem if the Uptodown website is used, but if the Uptodown app is used instead, it will download the correct versions of apps for whatever device.

The app itself is actually quite nice- small and efficient.

It can do the majority of what Google Play Store can do, as far as alerting of updates, malware protection, and getting the right versions of apps.

How to decrypt microSD after factory reset? I have all the family memories in the Camera folder!

.....
Moving forward, just install Google photos from the play store and set it to back up your photos and videos....

This point has cannot be emphasized enough, it's really vital to implement a backup solution for any smartphone. As you've discovered, it is a really risky thing to rely on storing important files solely on your phone. Smartphones are intended to be mobile and handy, two aspects that make them unreliable as long-term archiving storage. Even if you had never encrypted your microSD card nor did a Factory Reset, the odds are just high that something is likely to occur with your phone -- it gets lost, or stolen, or damaged.

The Google Photos app does include a backup and restore function that automatically runs in the background. It will backup your entire photo library into your online Google account so you can access your photos and videos using either the Google Photos app on your phone, or a web browser on a computer by going to:
https://photos.google.com
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photos&hl=en_US&gl=US
If you install Google Photos, be sure to go into the app's Settings menu and configure the backup and restore function the way you need it (i.e. include video content, use WiFi/cellular or WiFi only, etc.). And recently Google changed its long-standing policy on unlimited free storage for photo content, now you get 15GB of storage for free, and if you need more than it isn't that much -- 100GB is only $20 a year.

Just for comparison, Microsoft's OneDrive and Apple's iCloud online storage is only 5GB for free so their pay-for upgrades tend to be more of a necessity. It's all conditional though, for some 15GB is a quite a bit, for others it's barely adequate.

A different option than Google Photos is to use Samsung's Smart Switch utility. It has a backup and restore option that allows you to do more extensive backups to a PC. So it's not limited to just photo and video content but essentially your entire user account on your phone.

One last suggestion if you want to minimize a reliance on services that involve a lot of corporate oversight, like from Google or Samsung, is the Syncthing service.
It's an Open Source (no ties to any business interests) syncing service that you set up to sync directories you specify with different storage media in mobile devices, computers, online storage servers. You can set it up to only work within your home network (no online storage) or with various online storage services. It's quite versatile but it also requires one to pay a lot of attention to set things up the way you want.

Mods [Guide]How to flash a Nexus Factory Image manually.

I tried this process to restore my 2013 Nexus 7. It all goes fine until my tablet tries to boot after the factory image is flashed, after which it get to the "Google" screen (white writing, unlocked symbol at the bottom) & then boot loops. Do you have any idea what may be causing this & what I can to do fix it?

Provided that you flashed the correct image ("razor" for the Wi-Fi-only 2013 Nexus 7, "razorg" for the one which has a cellular data connection), I'm afraid that likely indicates some manner of hardware failure.

Hiring developer to help me unbann my phone


Did you try using a VPN?
If you are using the same Wi-Fi as when you were banned, your visible information is probably the same as on any device.

A VPN can mask your location.

Even if this works, often enough it is not productive to continue on in groups where you are not wanted.

Even if it is coming from only one moderator.

There is too much else to do in life than get hung up on such things.
