No translate option when select text

In Wikipedia app, when I selected text with my old LG phone, I was seeing a "Translate" option, and clicking that would open Google translate with the translation.

Now, with my new LG, when I select text, there's no "Translate" option.
With different apps, the menu changes. For instance, with Chrome, I see the "Translate" option.

How can I add the "Translate" option for Wikipedia app ? On new and old LG, the app version is the same.

Slim firmware that works with Samsung A40 - filesize <4Gb

Hello

I have an Samsung A40 that, after my daughter dropped it in water, seem to have a faulty OS. It boots and then gets stuck on the brand screen. I can get it to the root meny, so technically I could fix it with a SDcard I have. Found a firmware that should work. The problem is that the largest file is 4,5Gb. And as Android is only compatiible with Fat32 I can't transfer the file to the SD (Via another phone). Can anyone help me find a firmware that is less than 4Gb?

Ability to custom name phone number: Z Fold 4?

In the OEM Z Fold 4 contacts, I used to be able to change what a phone number would be called, and I think the option might have been "custom", but I can't remember now. For example, if I had a contact entry for "Amazon", and I wanted to add a second number in addition to customer service, and let's say it was an Amazon employee named "Bob", I could change his phone number to be listed as something like "Bob, Customer Service". Now I do not seem to be able to do that. Maybe I noticed it sometime around the last phone update. Has this feature been eliminated, or is there now another way to do it?

I looked at my phone book, and I see that I have some entries where these custom names are still showing. I can edit it, and it says "edit custom field", but I see no option to create a new "custom field"

Thanks,

Danny

I need help choosing a tablet

Could I get help on choosing a tablet as I already have to return one, I obviously spent too little on it:

YQ10S Android Tablet - I like my 2016, generation 7 Kindle Fire HD better than the YQ.

So now I'm thinking about a Samsung, but not the S9 as I don't draw at all so why get that. I mainly want the Tablet to replace my 17" screen HP Laptop which is basically backup for my desktop HP Gaming PC, which I rarely use for gaming. Something I can do all my business on easier than my Moto One 5g Ace which is too small for a lot of things, for me anyway.

I do not like Apple/Mac/Iphone anything, been using Android and Windows PCs much too long to change now.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would go up to 4 or 500, and less wouldn't hurt my feelings either ;) Denise

I have MIUI Global 14.0.6 and Android v 13TP1A.220624.014

Searching for a Desktop that could handle Android Studio

So, I am currently working on a WEAK 8gb ram office computer and it obviously cannot handle Android Studio (running my apps, and opening the emulator, functioning fast is all a struggle)

I'm in a search for a new desktop and I don't want to make a mistake so here are some specs I found and I'm curious is they are any good
Sorry it's not English but y'all can understand it

I'll be looking for more but these are the most common specs

Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

I want to flash stock LG firmware on LG G8 (LM-G820UM). I would first like to backup what is currently on the phone, just in case I want to play around with it in the future. I also want to lock the bootloader again. Could someone please point me in the right direction? How do I backup the firmware the phone currently has? When I search for firmware how do I find out what firmware do I need, which one should I choose and from where should I get it from? How do I flash firmware on LG phones? How do I make sure I have done everything correctly so the phone doesn't become a brick and how do I lock the bootloader again? Do I also need to flash any rom/s? I don't have much experienced flashing phones. Any help is appreciated :).

Music starts playing automatically after phone calls or sometimes during calls?

Ok, this is really annoying. It's been going on for some time now. If I have my Bluetooth headset connected to my phone, everytime I end a call, my music just starts playing automatically. Sometimes immediately after I dial a number and it starts ringing, my music will just start playing automatically. Not sure if the person I'm calling can hear the music, but I definitely cannot hear the person with the music blairing. Then after I pause it and talk to the person, I hang up and the music starts again. I've tried to kill the music app. It doesn't matter which music app I'm using. I was using Spotify. I recently uninstalled it and now just listening to MP3s using either poweramp or Samsung music player. They all do it. Whatever app I use to listen to music in my car auto starts playing when I use my Bluetooth headset everytime I use the phone. The music starts playing automatically only when I have a Bluetooth audio device connected to the phone.

When I go to my Bluetooth options, I have the option to disable/enable phone and audio... I cannot diable audio/music on my headset because when I use my phone to make calls, I'm using the app sideline which I use voip which is using the music channel to make calls. I'm not calling using the android native phone app. I do this because my cell signal at my house is really bad, but we finally have rock solid fast internet.

I work from home, so this is super distracting when calling customers.

Need a recommendation for Android

Hello,

I'm looking for a new mobile phone. It must have 10,000+ mAh, be under 6.5 inches, and fall within the price range of 200-500 euros. It should not have any technical issues.My current phone is the Blackview 10000 Pro (it's over 3 years old, and I was happy with that mobile). So, if you have any suggestions for what would be the best one for that price?

Thank you in advance.

My opinion of Amfilm S23+ screenprotector

Here is what I think about it so far,
It comes with 1 replacement, life-time warranty of 2 more screen protectors.

Putting it on:
1. Fingerprint sensor perfectly working.
2. mounting frame was very easy to use.
3. touch is slightly harder around the edges, but turning increased sensitivity to touch solved that.

Enjoy choosing your next screen protector <3.

Help App to answer calls/messages from unknown/hidden numbers with voice/text message?

Hello,

As a simple way to handle robocalls, I'm looking for an application that, without ringing, would answer the call/text message with a voice/text message "I don't asnwer calls/messages from unknown/blocked numbers. If you wish, leave a voice message or send a text message.", and hang up.

As a safety measure, a notification would still be a good idea just in case.

I assume those apps already exist: Which one would you recommend, preferably (ad-)free?

Thank you.
