Settings for screenshots?

When I take a screenshot, its thumbnail and a little editing menu next to it stay on-screen for a LONG time. I've looked, unsuccessfully, for a settings option to adjust this behavior. I want to take a screenshot and then have its thumbnail IMMEDIATELY go away! As it is now, I can swipe it away, or I can wait an eternity for it to disappear on its own, but I don't like either. Is there such a setting?

Help Caller ID Question

Does anyone recognize the circle with the arrow pointing to it? I've been getting that for years whenever I'm on a call and change screens.
Screenshot_20221031-121441.png
When I tap on it, it opens with choices to return to call, pause call & end call. Lately, for no apparent reason, I get the circle when I first start my phone, but after a minute or so, when I make or answer a call I only get a green oval with a call timer.
Screenshot_20221031-123330.png
I can't remember where that caller button on the top screenshot comes from.
It might come from a phone widget called Mad Cap 4, but there are no settings that correspond to the circle.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank!

Calendar help

Not sure if a Google issue or IOS. My partner adds an event to her iPhone calendar and shares it with me which I see on my iPad. That event will then sync with my Google calendar that is installed on my iPad. However, the event does not show up on my Google calendar on my Pixel 7. For it to show up on my Pixel, I have open the event in Google calendar on the iPad and press 'Copy To' my Google calendar. It seems like unnecessary steps. I wonder why my Google calender on the iPad is not syncing with Android?

Very annoying problem with Realme 8

I have a very annoying problem with my device that appears about once a month and usually lasts about two days. It's hard to describe but it's like without my touching anything it goes to the top of the page in all the apps or automatically updates the feed or goes to another section of the app. I hope there is a solution because it is too annoying.
Btw i have put realme 7i as realme 8 is not listed in phone list.

How many rooting methods are there for android(Samsung) ?

I cant find an answer to this question no matter how much i search. From what I found online, the only rooting methods that exist are Magisk, SuperSU and rooting apps(correct me if im wrong). The info that I read said that SuperSU and rooting apps don't work anymore and Magisk is the only rooting method that is used and that works today. Is that true? I know that the rooting apps are dead and there is no way they would work. Does the same apply for SuperSU? Would trying to root modern android versions like 11,12 and 13 with SuperSU work?
SO Is Magisk the only rooting method today for android 11, android 12 and android 13? or are there other methods? Can you root a modern android phone, specifically Samsung with another method other than magisk? Basically my main question are there more rooting methods other than Magisk, SuperSU and rooting apps? If there are, what are they and do they work on modern android versions?

How to fix picture is upside down on screen

Hi all,

I need to setup remote desktop on Android mobile as follow;

1) Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone(phone-1) as camera, mounted at the end of an extension rod.
Software running - Teamviewer Quickconnect App

2) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone(phone-2) as "remote controller", mounted at the handle of the extension rod
Software running - Teamviewer Remote Control

It works. phone-1 can be remotely controlled on phone-2 to capture video seamlessly.

The only problem is;
phone-2 can't be mounted horizontally. It can only be mounted vertically.

If phone-2 is mounted horizontally, the video on its screen is inverted. The picture is upside down.

Please advise how to fixed the problem. Thanks in advance.

Can't flash custom rom

Hi, I'm new here so bear with me.
I have a Samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 lte and I'm trying to flash a custom rom (lineage os android 11) to it. I have installed twrp for the device and downloaded the rom. The problem I have is that when I try to flash the rom using twrp it fails on error 255. It gets to the point where it doesn't seem to recognise the device. It's says the software is for a note pro 12.2 sm-905 viennalte but the device shows as a full stop.what is a "viennalte" as opposed to just an lte?
Any ideas please

Need help with Watchmaker App on Samsung S22 Ultra

Using Watchmaker on my Samsung S22 Ultra and have the companion app installed on my Samsumg watch 5 pro. I opted for the premium version if that makes any difference. I can send a watch face to the watch and it shows up under My Watches in the watch app but I can never get it to show up on the actual watch.
I've tried selecting Watch 4 and Watch 4 classic which I think should work but still no luck.
Any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Help Battery draining really fast

Hello, my phone model is Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and it's 2 months old. For the last few days my battery has been draining really fast. In less than 24 hours it went from 100 % to 60 %, without me using the phone much. The day before the same happened. In 12 hours it went from 60 % to 40 %. What I also noticed was a lot of mobile data usage for the current month, more than double of my normal usage for a month.

Help Unable to download MMS on wifi without roaming while traveling internationally (S9, T-Mobile)

Hi all,

I have a stock S9 on T-Mobile and use Google Messages and/or Samsung Messages (the built-in app.)

I travel internationally and recently started receiving "gentle" reminders from T-Mobile that "roaming benefits are not intended for extended use abroad." You know, "Sprint + T-Mobile, better together", blah blah blah.

I am usually on wifi so I disabled roaming expecting hardly any consequences. And had no issues except I discovered that I am unable to download MMS messages (photos or texts in groups) UNLESS I enable roaming again.

This is happening with both Google Messages and Samsung Messages apps.

Is there some setting or configuration that I am missing or is it that wifi is not enough and mobile data/roaming is required?

My concern, of course, is that T-Mobile will press the issue if this scenario continues.

Thanks in advance

Problems with publishing app on app store

Hi,

I've created an app for real work which automatically turns on Bluetooth on startup. I installed it to 3 devices via USB and it works perfectly normal. When I tried to upload it to Amazon app store, it was denied explaining that app exits to main screen on the launch. They sent me even a video of that. I don't know what to do anymore. I'd like to get some advices. Thanks.

Does anyone else have these issues with the samsung s10?

Hi guys,

So i am experiencing basically 2 problems with my s10. I will start with the bigger one.

When i am recording voice messages (regardless of the app - (this happened on whatsapp and telegram so far, i am expecting to happen on signal also) at some point of the recording the sound drops severily to almost zero. And this can be for a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes straight. I do not know what this is caused by and i totally don't know how to fix it.
Did this ever happen to any of you guys that are using s10 devices?

The second problem i noticed with my s10 is whenever i am using the phone in somewhat extreme temperatures (when it's a bit too cold or too hot outside) it starts acting up weirdly in that it starts doing commands by its own like someone is touching the touchscreen chaotically.
Does this sound familiar to any other s10 users?

Does anyone know how to fix this? Especially the recording of the voice messages problem.

Thank you very much

New interface to Android Messages app

Yesterday, I was using the standard Android Messages app to send some texts, and all of a sudden, a little window opened up and was asking me if I wanted to link my Messages app to Google in some new way that would allow for sending higher quality videos. From what I remember, I was given two choices:

--Choose my Google email account
--or use the messages app without a gmail account.

I didn't want to have it connected to gmail in some new way, so I chose to not have it connected to gmail. I anticipated that this would just send me back to the Messages app and everything would be the same as it was before. But now the app interface has changed. Instead of the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen, there is a circle with a little person icon in it (See attached pic). And the settings are now accessed by three lines in the upper left corner of the screen. What happened? Is there a way to go back to the previous interface? I wish I had just hit the back button instead of choosing anything.

Help Is there a scanning app that can resize the pictures to a certain paper size?

I'm looking for an app to scan documents and convert them to PDF, I know, there's many apps that can do that but all the ones I have tried can't resize the picture taken to a given paper size (like letter or A4) without leaving white bars on the sides.

I have attached two pdf files on this thread, one document was scanned using an app called Genius Scan

As you can see on the first page there's white bars on the sides and on the second page there's white bars at the top and the bottom of the page.

The same document was scanned using Scanner Pro on iOS , and this is the desired result

There's no white bars and the content is resized to fill all the space on the page, which is letter size on both cases.

Is there any app that can do this on Android? I couldn't find any
