Pixel 4a vs Samsung Galaxy A51 5G

I've never used either flavor (as I said, I'm coming from a budget Motorola phone), so I don't have a pre-existing preference, though I hear that One UI has improved greatly in both performance and usability in recent updates. My needs aren't too great. I want a phone with good performance (the lag on the Moto g5+ is terrible) and a decent camera. I am not a heavy phone user. As long as the common apps (phone, browser, music, fit, maps, messenger) are responsive, and remain so over time, especially after OS updates, I'm happy.

Colour laserjet Mode and Toner query

Mine is a Color Laserjet Pro M254MW - USB/Ethernet/WiFi Colour Laser printer (no scanner). It's old enough to use refilled toner carts and the colour out[put is superb, arguably better (less saturated/bright) than some inkjets. It has HP's older solid build quality - on a par with the Laserjet 5 office workhorse. And they're cheap.

Hi,

Thanks for this info, I'll have a look if still available.
I have other feedback which is also very positive in colour laserjet, my mind's made up.

Hanks for your contribution too.

Apps [WebView] Uploading pictures from camera and gallery in Android application, need help

Hello, I'm building a webview application. There is a feature of uploading images through the form on the site. What I am trying to do is: When File input is clicked, the user is asked the option "Select from camera or gallery". I did this. Image can be uploaded from the gallery. But after taking a picture with the camera, the input remains blank. The picture disappears. It works fine on Android 5 version, but I have this problem on versions such as Android 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. I think the reason why it doesn't work on Android 10 is the removal of getExternalStoragePublicDirectory support. But it doesn't work on Android 6-7-8-9 version either. I'm a just back-end web developer. I'm not good at mobile programming. I would appreciate it if you can send source code or project. Please help me. Thank you!
