GPS Auto-off - Auto-on on Maps open/close

Hello. I have a Samsung S7 SM-G930F running Android 8.0.0, Kernel 3.18.91-19497840-QB34227861.

I often disable then enable GPS before using Maps so I can save battery so GPS doesn't constantly update location when I'm driving but have no need to use GPS.

I'm wondering on my version of Android, does the GPS goto sleep or a mode that has negligible battery use when you exit the Google Maps app or aren't navigating anywhere ?

Currently I use "Battery Saving" mode.

Is it worth to make some sort of script or custom firmware that can turn location off when Maps is not in use or exited back to the home screen ?

Thanks

I would like to set the camera up and leave it in a location and shot photos from a distance but the shut down timer on the camera is ruining this. Can anyone help with solving this problem. I cant find any settings to change this.

Help Getting an AI assistant to play my local stored music?

This is such a basic function but I can’t figure it out on Android. First off I’m coming over from iPhone. I just got a Samsung S20+ but this question applies to all android phones I think. I do not like streaming music services. I have a large music library stored locally. With iPhone I would just tell Siri “Play Pearl Jam” and it opens the regular iOS music app and plays my local music files. I use this mostly while driving.

On my Galaxy S20+, when I say “play Pearl Jam” to Bixby it tries to open Spotify. I believe Bixby always defaults to Spotify. So I’ve tried Google Assistant, “play Pearl Jam” and it opens YouTube music. So I’ve gone into the google assistant settings to change the default music service to the Samsung music player, but that isn’t an option. The only options are YouTube music, pandora, other streaming services, etc. Is there no way I can select a third party local stored music player (like Samsung music player) for Google Assistant to default to when I say “Play Pearl Jam”? Now I was able to get it to work by saying “play (song) with Samsung music player” and then having to click to open the player, but that just seems like extra steps that shouldn’t exist.

Using Clipboard Freezes a Particular App

At least a couple of times a week when I use the clipboard to either copy or paste within an app or from one app to another the app freezes.
For example, let's assume I copy some text from some article in the New York Times. I then go to Facebook to paste that text and Facebook freezes completely (if I try to paste it in any other app that app also freezes). By the same token, if I try to copy something from any app the copy itself freezes the app. The only way I can get copy and paste word again is to shut down the phone and restart. Interestingly enough this start happening right after the last update on my Samsung S 20+ under Verizon.
I have tried to see if there's some kind of a pattern but I have not been able to find any. It just seems to happen randomly.

InterstitialAd's broken Android Studio 4.1.1

New-ish android dev, 15 year experience C, C++, Java, script language dev.

Working with Android Studio 4.1.1 and trying to work out a basic scenario. I've built my main activity with just a button that feeds to a second activity that's a google admob interstitial ad.

The admob activity is just out of the box. I've not modified it from the template other than to give it a name.

Out the door it's using what I understand to be the old library:

import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd

Which no longer exists. It should be...

import com.google.android.gms.ads.interstitial.InterstitialAd

Once I compile I get 8 errors. I'm assuming updates to the admob framework make this old template obsolete. I'm not sure what needs to be done to correct this. Is there an updated template I can snag, something that's communal knowledge, or does someone know what's missing from the outdated OOTB template that will get me working?

Here's the code, but I shouldn't need it as we're talking OOTB stuff.

Code:
package com.example.testapp

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdListener
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest
import com.google.android.gms.ads.interstitial.InterstitialAd
import android.widget.Button

// Remove the line below after defining your own ad unit ID.
private const val TOAST_TEXT = "Test ads are being shown. " +
        "To show live ads, replace the ad unit ID in res/values/strings.xml " +
        "with your own ad unit ID."
private const val START_LEVEL = 1

class ad1PostButtonPush : AppCompatActivity() {

    private var currentLevel: Int = 0
    private var interstitialAd: InterstitialAd? = null
    private lateinit var nextLevelButton: Button
    private lateinit var levelTextView: TextView

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_ad1_post_button_push)

        // Create the next level button, which tries to show an interstitial when clicked.
        nextLevelButton = findViewById(R.id.next_level_button)
        nextLevelButton.isEnabled = false
        nextLevelButton.setOnClickListener { showInterstitial() }

        levelTextView = findViewById(R.id.level)
        // Create the text view to show the level number.
        currentLevel = START_LEVEL

        // Create the InterstitialAd and set the adUnitId (defined in values/strings.xml).
        interstitialAd = newInterstitialAd()
        loadInterstitial()

        // Toasts the test ad message on the screen. Remove this after defining your own ad unit ID.
        Toast.makeText(this, TOAST_TEXT, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
    }

    override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_ad1_post_button_push, menu)
        return true
    }

                else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
            }

    private fun newInterstitialAd(): InterstitialAd {
        return InterstitialAd().apply {
            adUnitId = getString(R.string.interstitial_ad_unit_id)
            adListener = object : AdListener() {

                }

                }
            }
        }
    }

    private fun showInterstitial() {
        // Show the ad if it"s ready. Otherwise toast and reload the ad.
        if (interstitialAd?.isLoaded == true) {
            interstitialAd?.show()
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Ad did not load", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            goToNextLevel()
        }
    }

    private fun loadInterstitial() {
        // Disable the next level button and load the ad.
        nextLevelButton.isEnabled = false
        val adRequest = AdRequest.Builder()
                .setRequestAgent("android_studio:ad_template")
                .build()
        interstitialAd?.loadAd(adRequest)
    }

    private fun goToNextLevel() {
        // Show the next level and reload the ad to prepare for the level after.
        levelTextView.text = "Level " + (++currentLevel)
        interstitialAd = newInterstitialAd()
        loadInterstitial()
    }
}

Reviews A10e is a winner!

I have owned the Galaxy A10e for three months. My carrier is Tracfone which piggy-backs Verizon in my neck of the woods. I just say that IMHO the A10e is an amazing little smartphone. I have owned a J3 and a J7 Skypro. I like their screen dimensions. However there was a good deal at $70.00 for a new A10e and I decided to drive to the store and buy it. I really like it!

Yesterday the OS was updated to Android 10. Didn't know that was going to happen. All things work great with the phone and my carrier. My cost is about $120.00 a year to use data, calls and texts.

The phone is just the right size for me and I carry it in a belt-holster, which is just the right size for the 5.8" screen of the A10e.

I think in terms of budget phones combined with Tracfone this is a winner!

Even at 4G it's going to be around IMHO for years to come. I don't want phones with over 6" screens. I will probably buy another one of these just as a backup. Small smartphone are going the way of the dinosaurs. However, the smartphone flips are interesting but the pouch I have is rugged and fits all my business cards behind the phone.

I hope this helps anyone sitting on the fence. It's a darn good phone for under $100.00.

Recovering self text ??

Hello,
I deleted a text conversation.....

Found "Ultdata" and used it to recover text msgs...
It worked, except for the one I was looking for.

Note: and question
the msgs (conversation) is was looking to were texts that I send
to myself.... I do this if I'm on the run and want to remind myself of something or to make a
note to myself...

So I'm wondering if that particular texting is stored or classified differently, which is why it may have been missed by the search ???
Any thoughts on this ? or in general concerning recovering the text.

Help Scammers/Spammers

Okay, so I got an interesting scam/spam text this afternoon and it's got me a bit stumped.

I just spent 9 days at my brother's house watching his dogs while him and his wife went on vacation.

So today I get this text:

Mind you, the scribbled out text is my brother's address. Can someone please explain to me how they tied my phone number to that location in the 9 days I stayed there?

Help play store keeps wanting to give me adtube

So, i completely forgot about this because it had been a hot while since i last had a rooted phone. But yeah, in short the root method of installing vanced means it replaces stock/factory YouTube. Which is fine and all, until play store wants to whine and insist there's an update. Acting like stock YouTube is even remotely tolerable to use anymore.

Problem is i never figured out how to "detach" YouTube from the play store so thst i can keep using the new vanced manager to update it when they're ready. And play store keeps trying to sneak me into accepting their awful version.
