S21 Gallery geotag upload

On my S20 I would upload (share) images to Lightroom. The geotags data is uploaded from Gallery so I can see where the image was taken in Lightroom. On my S21 Ultra the geotags info is in the Gallery image but won’t show up in Lightroom or any other imaging app. Anyone else have this problem, better yet, a cure? I geotag all my images...

database.collection("Users").document(userID).set(map)

Hello guys,

I'm really new here, hope someone could help.
I ve a problem apparently simple, but i'm going crazy to fix it!

So, as title saying, I'm trying to add a new document in my Cloud Firestone using this way:

private void saveOnFireCloud(String userID, String name, String email) {
String GeneratedID;
Map<String,Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("id",userID);
map.put("name",name);
map.put("email",email);

database.collection("Users").document(userID).set(map)
.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
@override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {

Toast.makeText(Register.this, "Data Inserted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(Register.this, "Error Inserting Data!" + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}

The document is created with success, BUT instead of create the document key with userID as i passed,
it generate a new random ID document key. I also tried to pass "TESTKEY" String instead of userID just for test purpouse but fails and generate again a random id... Anyone knows why?

PS: userID is the Auth Firebase ID, cause I want to link my new Document key to an existing user in Firebase Auth section! I think this is the right way, but not completely sure.

Finding Blue Tooth "Scan"

Zigee Docting Station

Hello,

I just bought a new docking station.

The instructions call for:


Go to
1. Settings > Bluetooth ( turn it on ) > Press Scan
2. Zigee (the phone dock ) will show up under available devices, click on it to connect.


I have Settings > Bluetooth, and I turned it on.

I do not have a "scan" button or link at that path.

How do I find the scan button/link for Bluetooth in my version of android?
How can I see the Zigee docking station under "available devices" with my version of Android?

Thanks much for any help.

Who am I?

Let me introduce myself, my name is Peter and I'm from Rome. How's your quarantine madness going? I'm managing mine pretty well!

I have a degree in Computer Engineering and I work as a Developer (Fullstack) for a company around here.
My passions: Theater, cooking, music composition, painting, writing books, programming video games ... and well, against any possible stereotype .. women! :p
In general I have always been attracted to all forms of art.
I recently started developing a videogame for Android and I would like to publish it on Google Play.

For my part, I hope to be useful to anyone who needs to solve a problem I know.

I also studied some frameworks like Angular and Spring, but I'm not here to bore you, see you in chat!

Ways to flash update.zip

Previously, I downloaded a update.zip from asus offical website. But the file size is too big that can't fit in with cache partition.
So I came up with some possible solution below,
1. Re-partition
Since I wanna extend cache,the effected partitions will be APD,ADF,System,Data, I'll backup them by dd command (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p*7~10* of=/storage/emulated/0/*APD.img,etc.) And export them to my pc. Then I'll remake those partition by parted command and mkfs command, and use fastboot flash or dd to recover them all except /data.
The only issue of this method is that I can't find a custom rom for this. I might do it while normal boot
2. Resize update.zip
Since I know how to sign a update.zip file by signapk, I'll use this to split the file to a few packs.
In practice,I'll only leave META-INF and a tiny part of /system folder and pack them.the command will only be'mount('ext4','EMMC',(the patch),'/system');package_extract_dir('system','/system');', repeat for 6 time for copying files only .The 7th update.zip will include the rest of the files and official update-script.
I'll use fastboot flash update 7 times without rebooting to make it work.

Please help me analysis if these methods are correct and working, thanks:3.

Btw the reason of 'why I don't just let my tablet do a ota update and everything will be done?' is...
Well... The Update Manager just wanna leave me alone....(it is not function properly at all)

Picture and Video storage

Hello!
I am having a storage issue on my phone with pictures and videos. They are being stored locally on the hard drive of the phone. This is mostly Whatsapp pictures and videos as well. Is there a way to have them stored online as opposed to the hard drive to free up space? I was thinking there might be a setting or something that I can enable to have these files stored on Google Drive as opposed to the hard drive that I'm not aware of. And if so, and I enable this, do I need to manually delete everything off the hard drive after I do?

Help manual proxy

Greetings. I have not been able to set a manual proxy on any android os except os 6.0 and below. I have read and attempted the generic manual proxy setup instructions from the manual's to no avail. There is no "edit" wifi button to hit as described. I am using both my own cell phones and genymotion. I have been able to set up the manual proxy with the "long press" wifi button on genymotion but only os 6.0 and below.
thank you. :cool:

Sdk emulator not working : VCRUNTIME140.dll not found

So I installed Android Studio not long ago. I installed everything right, I installed in the sdk tools :
  • Android Emulator
  • Android SDK platform tools
  • Intel (x86) Emulator accelerator (HAXM)
I installed the API-Level 30 (x86 too)
I tried enabling/disabling launching in a tool window
I uninstalled and reinstalled everything several time

Next, I tried launching the emulator with command line
I first created an AVD: Pixel_XL_API_30 and used the command
emulator.exe -avd Pixel_XL_API_30 in the right folder with admin and non-admin privileges
I get a VCRUNTIME140.dll not found

So I tried fixing the dll following mainly (https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/how-to-fix-the-vcruntime140dll-is-missing-error-on-windows-10)
I ran scannow, I tried repair tools in all Visual studio version I could find in apps and functionalities
Then I tried unrergistering and registering back the dll and I get the following :

Module VCRUNTIME140.dll was loaded but entry point dllRegisterServer not found (more or less) Same for dllUnregisterServer.

And here I am stuck and desperately in need of your help. Thanks

Post Software Update Changes

Since installing the last update on my Samsung A51 I've noticed 2 changes in the phone's behaviour.
1. The sleep button on the side of the phone no longer turns off the phone when I hold it. Instead it turns on some voice-recognition app. I now no longer know how to turn off my phone!
2. Double-tapping the screen now causes the phone to lock. I don't want this to happen.

Has anyone any idea how to undo these changes, or where in the settings I can choose the behaviour I want?

Seeing double (apps)

Recently I was making a phone call and when I looked at the open apps I saw that two phone apps open. Both look like phone apps with keypads Etc and both have access to my call history. But they are two different apps one showing the call in progress and the other one not. Has anyone else experienced this?

Problem with users

Hi,

I have a problem:
I added a user to our new Samsung tab s6 lite for my son.

The problem:
When I add a password to my user, he can't switch to his user, before I entered my password. Because the tablet automatically boots to my user.

If I click to switch users before I enter my pw I just can't click on his user.
