Automatically changing color balance?

put it in safe mode and see if it still happens. safe mode prevents any third party apps from running. if it still happens in safe mode then you know an app is not the cause of it. if that is the case then it could be a software or hardware issue. you can try factory restting it to rule out software. if it still is doing it after the reset, then it is most likely a hardware issue.

Connect my A21!

Just so this doesn't come up in the answer - I don't have wi-fi or a smart TV, just my mobile data and a not-so-smart HDMI TV. I used to use my Galaxy J7 to connect to a Screen Beam Mini 2 via Smart View on my J7. I just got a Galaxy A21 and it turns out Samsung stopped making Smart View as of a month ago (Oct. 2020). I have tried EVERY possible way to get some version of SV on this phone with zero success. I can't connect it via USB C to HDMI either so that's out. If ANYONE can find a way for me to continue using the Screen Beam or another way to mirror to my TV I'd be VERY grateful!!!!

Why the wait?

It arrived on the 21st, and I am very pleased.

It is just like my Pixel 2 except "nicer", and that is the best way I can put it. An absolute delight to use.

The only problem is the broken G-Pay, but I always have my card and Google will supposedly fix it in the Dec update.

Oh, and no gap.

New Phone full 64gb

No, Android is never 58GB in size. Android 11 on my phone is more like 10GB, and that includes twinned system partitions, though some manufacturers allocate more space than that to the system (*cough* Samsung *cough*).

What does your system storage menu show? Can you post a screenshot? Most importantly, what type of phone is this supposed to be? And I say "supposed to be" because not knowing what it is or where you got it from I have to consider the possibility that you bought a (probably Chinese) fake from somewhere, which may actually have a lot less storage than the phone it pretends to be has (and would often be programmed to lie about this until you run out of space).

"Deleting messages..." whatsapp, HOW DO I STOP IT?!

Most of the mesages will be automatically backed up on your device, not on WhatsApp's servers. They may also have a copy of the backup in Google Drive, if they chose to do that.

If in doubt, copy the contents of your WhatsApp backups folder to somewhere else (deleting a message shouldn't remove the backup, but if you don't know why it's deleted then best play safe).

There has been talk of a new self-deleting message feature (for senders who don't want the message to persist), but I've not come across it so far myself. But mentioning this just in case it's relevant.
