Drag the Windows 11 screen with the mouse, like you do on Android

Ever since I've been playing Android games on an emulator on the PC (for the larger screen and better sound), I've got used to dragging items with the mouse, and scrolling the screen with the mouse (as in holding the left button and dragging). I now find myself trying to do this in Windows, say on this webpage instead of using the scroll wheel. I found this program - GitHub - Mikhail22/drag-scroll--autohotkey: AHK scripts - but it's very old (Autohotkey said it needed to install an older version) and seems not to tell Windows quick enough to scroll the other way. It moves the screen the wrong way for about 6 lines, then goes the right way.

Any better ways?

WhatsApp only exports media from last few days

On WhatsApp for Android (v13), exporting a chat with media only exports media from the last few days.

To take an example, I've got over 2,300 media files with a contact on WhatsApp, but when I export the chat with media, only about 40 media get exported, and only the text from the last few days.

The exports were attempted directly to Google Drive. Also tried other options. Via Total Commander, no media gets exported. Via bluetooth, about 45.

If I export withOUT media, all of the text gets exported. So that is a solution to get all of the text. But I also need all of the media, not just 2% or less of it.

Any third-party software or other workarounds? WhatsApp iPhone has iMazing, but WhatsApp Android seems less well-supported for this, based on my searches.

Camera colors on different phones and where are my threads

I just took a picture with the Pure and noticed that the colors were way off, and when I used my friend's OnePlus Nord it was more accurate, though still not perfect. Is there a way to adjust the Pure to do a better job? Also, the site just got an attitude adjustment that has definitely made it worse. I don't like having the alerts way at the bottom when they were much handier at the top. I cant even fnd my threads. Things should be left well enough alone...if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it!

Hell for two

Recently I attempted to share a file from the old Moto G Play (2021) to the new Moto G Pure. I figured I would use Bluetooth but I guess I figured wrong. Simple File Manager did not show such an option. Instead I went with Nearby Share, which apparently uses Bluetooth. They seem to recognize each other but I cannot force the Pure to connect. I don't know why there would be such a problem. I shared files from the government Blu, which I think would be even lower spec than the Pure. I also shared a file from my friend's phone, the Nord from OnePlus, via Bluetooth as perhaps the only choice. Why is the Pure rejecting the Play? They're both by Motorola, which I think if anything would nake them more compatible.

Have You Every Met A Celebrity Or Someone Famous?

Have you ever met a celebrity or someone famous?

I've met three

I met Nick Bockwinkel at a Gas Station. He was a famous Professional Wrestler many years ago

Bill Clinton approached me downtown and told me he was running for the Democratic nomination for President. He was still the Governor of Arkansas

I was boarding an Air France plane in France. The line was not moving due to a beverage being spilled. I was standing in the first class section. I looked down and Dennis Quaid was sitting next to me. I started talking to him and he was real nice guy.

Can't send MMS

Every time I send a picture or video I get "Message not sent: Service not activated on the network" on my Samsung Galaxy A14 5G straight talk phone. I've called Straight Talk and they haven't been able to help, factory reset, network settings reset, checked app permissions/settings and still can't figure it out. Any solutions or ideas what might be causing this? Thanks for your time.

Help TTS goes from online to offline voice minutes after screen turns off then stops

I have used eReader Prestígio and Speech Recognition and Synthesis by Google to listen to books every day for years and had nothing but positive reviews to share. A few days ago, however, that changed.

After the screen goes off, the TTS goes on functioning perfectly as usual until, a few minutes in, the online/network voice turns into the offline/local voice. This is, quite frankly, an enormous problem for me, since the first is as natural-sounding as it gets for free while the second sounds rather robotic and off-putting. If I unlock my phone and open the reader the natural voice resumes. Like clockwork, a few minutes after the screen goes dark, the voice suffers the atmosphere-shattering change again. If I leave it running it goes on for a few more minutes and then the read aloud functionality stops altogether.

I never had, nor currently have, this problem with my old Oukitel Y4800 (Android 9), which keeps working correctly hours after the screen goes off, but it is happening now with my new Xiaomi Redmi 12 (Android 13), which I just bought as replacement due to irreparable battery issues. I also tried a different phone, a Leeco X829 (Android 13), and it encounters that issue as well.

I have checked the WiFi network, the battery settings, the app permissions, and I can't seem to find what's causing this to occur. I tried running previous versions of both the reader and the engine and nothing changes. I even tried running other e-book readers, such as Evie, and TTS browsers, like T2S, but the issue somehow persists.

Since it's something I use several hours a day I'd truly appreciate if someone would be able to help me solve this.

Really need a way to show running apps and sort out which ones run at startup, RAM full.

People keep telling me Android can't run out of RAM. They're wrong. The OS can't perform magic. It must swap to disk, this is slow. On my old 2GB RAM phone, it runs out, it even takes longer to open the lock screen than it gives me to swipe the pattern, then times itself out! This insane idea of not completely closing apps is a mess, all those things which can notify you: text, email, ebay, they all sit in the background waiting for a notification to hand you. I need to see what's using the most RAM, and not just close it like the cleaner programs do, but manually decide one is too big and tell it not to open at boot, just when I choose to. And there needs to be a way to completely close an app and not have it reopen, like on a computer. Perhaps we need someone to make a whole new interface, like they do with Linux.

S23 Skipping Letters While Typing

I have a.Samsung S23. Over the last month it started skipping letters while I was typing texts, doing searches, using FB messenger. etc. (Basically I hit the key and it didn't type the letter). Sometimes the skipping was frequent, other times occasional). I tried uninstalling various apps, using different keyboards, different texting apps, cleared cache, etc. Nothing worked. Verizon finally sent me a replacement phone and I used Smartswitch to move all my stuff to the new phone. I had this new phone for a week and all was fine. Today it started skipping again. So obviously this is not a phone issue since the new phone is doing it now. Could this be an app? Maybe I should have done a factory reset instead of using Smartswitch, does that make a diff? Where do I go from here?
