Google maps: using with YouTube + how to avoid an area

I like to listen to things on YouTube while navigating.
(Definitely not watching. YouTube is minimised.)

PROBLEM: Google maps directions play over the youtube sound.

This problem is the same when listening to an audio book.

Is there someway of pausing when a Google direction is given? And then resuming when finished?

I know I can have a semi silent option for maps - but that's no good especially when driving in the city where there are turns every few minutes.

ALSO is there a way to avoid a big area when navigating?

I've been stuck sometimes, there's been a road closure - that hasn't been picked up yet on Google maps. I'm really stuck. I try driving away from the blocked area, but Google will just go mad trying to redirect me back to the blockage.

In tomtom, I'm sure there's a way where you can mark on the map to avoid a specific area. They've had that feature for a looong time.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Why use WQHD+ Instead of FHFD+ Resolution?

I noticed on my new phone it comes with the resolution defaulted to 2280 x 1080 (FHD+) but it can be set to WQHD+ (3040 x 1440). My understanding is you use a bit less battery when using a lower resolution.

So if I'm not playing games, or watching 4K videos, is there really any reason to use the WQHD+ resolution? When I switch between the two, the fonts, icons, and apps have no noticeable difference in appearance. This is understandable when you consider many of us are watching TV and Movies in 1080P FHD and 4K UHD on a 60+ inch TV from across the room. Packing that same resolution into a 6-6.7" screen, even when viewing close up the PPI is so dense, even the lower 2280 x 1080 resolution looks beautiful with no discernable difference compared to 3040 x 1440. Even if you were to watch a 4K YouTube Video, on that small of a screen, I doubt there's any significant difference to watching it in 1080P. You definitely can see a difference on a 60" TV from 10-feet away.

I would also think in some cases on some phones maybe even gamers WANT to use the lower resolution to get faster frame rates for their games?

So I got to thinking further, is the WQHD+ resolution really in all practicality amounting to more of a marketing benefit to be able to advertise a spec that is equal to or better than competing model phones? Sort of like how for several years we got into the "Megapixel Race" on digital cameras only to come to realize more is not always better (higher megapixels on many cameras just introduced more noise given the same sensor size.)

Maybe the fact the manufacturer (Samsung), ships the phone defaulted to FHD+ instead of WQHD+ sort of answers my question right there?

Help Huawei mate p20 pro stuck on restarting loop

Hi

My huawei mate p20 pro is stuck on the 'huawei' startup screen - keeps constantly restarting over and over until the phone runs out of battry.
So far i have tried...

on the EMUI screen-
Factory reset
clearing the cache
restarting
power off
starting in safe mode
update and recover

also put the phone into reboot mode and tried to connect to hisuite buut my computer wont connect to my phone in this current state so cant do that


none of these have worked. whenever i finish a reset/update the phone just keeps trying to restart over and over again.
Is there anything else i can try?
Had no prior problems before this so im clueless!
Thanks

Why not Mint?

With the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint, Mint is beginning to look more and more attractive.

Their unlimited plan is $30 per month, as opposed to $60 for Fi, and the advantage of switching between the two services is gone, now that they are one.

Both Fi and Mint are an MVNO, so why are we sticking with Fi if we live where US Cellular has no presence?

My Other Half has been a Mint customer for a couple of years and has had absolutely no trouble whatsoever.

Thoughts, anyone?

Android 10 V40

Hey guys!!! I finally got Android 10 on my unlocked V40! It's pretty cool so far!! I wanted to ask you guys how you go into recovery mode on Android 10? I only have the factory reset option when I hold the power and volume down buttons... None of the procedures I read on the internet are working... And this install is fresh fresh, it's not possible that there's already a corrupted file somewhere is there?! :O

App Inventor Android Studio App Tutorial Issues

Hi, newbie here. I am trying to develop an app according to the Android Studio tutorial (https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui). When I tried to add the PlainText box and Button, I kept getting the following errors:

I'm not sure what I did wrong, since I was dragging the PlainText and Buttons from the Palette onto the Design. These are the instructions from the Android Studio tutorial:

Help How to connect samsung galaxy a20e to external VGA Monitor

Hello Folks!

Is there anyway to duplicate my Samsung Galaxy A20e screen to an external monitor through VGA port?

I bought an adaptor ( https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B087JS19QF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and I plugged it in, but nothing seems to happen.
I searched the internet for answers, but I couldn't find anything really usable.

Any suggestion?

(This is an old screen of mine, but it's still working so it would be a shame not being able to use it anymore.)

Thanks!
