Help textmessages on Xiaomi Mi 9 are automatically deleted (max. 50)

Hello all,

on my Xiaomi Mi 9, textmessages are automatically deleted.

Example:

I am in an chat-history with one contact, for each new message I am receiving an old message is being deleted.
The maximum quantity of textmessages for this chat-history seems to be 50.

1.) Is it possible to change that setting? How?
2.) Is it possible to restore the messages without having a backup? Probably not :(

MIUI version:
- MIUI Global 12.0.5. stable 12.0.5.0 (QFAEUXM).

Android version:
- 10 QKQ1.190825.002

Thanks for your support!

Samsung color choices... their Lavender is PINK, not purple!

Samsung color choices is rather bland and biggest negative.

AND... their Lavender is PINK, not purple!!!
Whoever does their colors is color blind!!!
This is what Lavender is suppose to look like.

Other than that, this phone is Awesome. The positive about the color is now I keep a case on it at all times whereas before with the S21+ was so pretty I had the case off half the time and was at risk of dropping the phone.

Help Longest video recording duration without auto stop?

Hello,

What phone is capable to record video (without stopping by itself) and only stops when the user press stop?

What phone are you using and what is the longest duration video recording or video chat without overheating or auto stop?

I know Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will display a your phone is overheating message about 20mins to 30mins during video recording using the default camera app and it will auto stop and auto close the camera app and you need to wait for it to cool down (about minimum 15mins or more) then the camera app can start again. Does newer phones or iphone have this problem?

How long will Samsung A32 5G record before it auto stop (due to a overheating message popup and camera app will auto close)?

Thanks

I've had this domain for awhile and never really did much with it. Seemed like the perfect little side project to tinker with AI:

Right now I've just got "Shakespeare" answering the questions, but I'll be adding more over time. People like King Arthur, Socrates, Mother Earth, etc...

I'm editing the code on the live site, so it may not work perfectly, but let me know what you think!

Lost Whatsap chat

Hi folks. I was hoping someone might be able to help me to recover a very important (to me) Whatsap chat. My Daughter worked in Dubai for 12 years up until 2021. Throughout most of this time, we communicated via Whatsap, with my Daughter sending weekly updates from around the world, including many photos and videos. Throughout this time, my Daughter had a Dubai mobile phone number and I had her in my contacts as "Daughter Dubai". All of this chat was always backed up and I successfully changed phones several times during these 12 years. So I was always comfortable that this unique diary of her adventures and our relationship was safe. Then in 2021, my Daughter moved back to live in the United Kingdom and got a new UK phone number. I entered this in to my contacts and for about 18 months we had a new Whatsap chat using this new number, which I entered in to my contacts as "Daughter England". During these 18 months, I also had the original "Daughter Dubai" chat on my phone, and often scrolled through it if I was looking for a particular photograph etc.

A few weeks ago I remember scrolling back through the new "Daughter England" chat, right to the very start of the chat, and noticed a message that stated that "this person has changed their phone number. You are currently chatting with their new number, Tap to add to your contacts."

I remember that I did tap on the message, but then thought nothing more of it. However I have now noticed that the "Daughter Dubai" chat is no longer visible in my chat list, although the Daughter Dubai contact is still in my phone contacts list, with the Dubai number. So I don't know if clicking on that message has in someway deleted the old "Daughter Dubai" chat, or if it simply attempted to add the Daughter England contact details in to my phone contacts, even though they were already there. Clicking on that link may have had nothing to do with the chat disappearing?

Could my Daughter have done something on her settings that might have caused this?

I have not attempted to reload Whatsap at this stage. I am not sure how the backup procedure works with Whatsap. Does it simply take a snapshot of whatever is present on your phone at that time and therefore effectively overwrite everything that had previously been backed up. If that is the case, then should I assume that if Whatsap has performed a backup in the period since the "Daughter Dubai" chat went missing, then the backup now will not include Daughter Dubai chat?

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Dave

New phone ‘complaints’

I just upgraded my phone, something last done 4+ years ago. Two major issues:

Last time I upgraded, Titanium Backup was very useful. I simply back-upped up some apps (primarily small games) on the old phone, restored them to the new phone, and everything was there including the app’s data. Now, there is no way (that I have found and about which I have asked) to move an app’s data from the old phone to the new. This should be trivial, but it does not seem possible.

On the old phone, I used True Phone as my default dialer and kept an older version of the default dialer on the phone for listening to voicemail and blocking/reporting a number as spam. The old version of the default dialer does not work on the new phone, the new version of the default dialer won’t run unless it is the default dialer, and I have yet to find a voicemail app that supports Google Fi.

If anyone with Google is reading this: You darned well better address these two issues because if more people experience these same issues, they may start leaving Android…

How to see, and change, default apps on a per-file-extension basis

I've seen a few different things written that touch on this, but nothing I can find directly answers this question.

Is there a way in Android to see - and change - what app is the current default app for handling a file based on the file's extension? By handling, I'm referring in my case to when I open the file from the My Files interface on a Samsung phone, with Android 10.

There is the Settings -> Apps -> ... -> Default apps thing, but that doesn't seem to give you the option to look based on file extension (e.g. .mp3, or .txt, .abc, or whatever). It just brings up a list of very general app categories (e.g. "browser app" or "phone a''). So - that's no help.

In Settings -> Apps -> <select app>-> Set as default you can see if it's default for some file types, but that has two problems: A) you have to know the default app ahead of time, and B) You can only do "clear defaults" for *all* defaults for that app - you can't specify it on a per-extension basis. So - that's no help.

In the My Files app if you long-click a given file it gives an option "Open With" where you can select what app opens a file - however it doesn't show you what the *default* app is. If there is no default app then it will prompt you to "open always" - this does set the default app for that file type (yay) - however this only works for extensions that don't yet have a default specified. It doesn't work for ones that already have a default, where I want to view and maybe change the default app. So - that's no help.

Any other method that I'm missing, that someone knows about that could be used?

Note: I do *not* want to have to install some new app just for this purpose. I'm hoping that there's a way to do this in Android natively, like there is in pretty much any OS.

Thanks.

Black screen after startup logo, but system runs

I'm using Redmi Note 7. Never had such problem while using my custom ROM. (crDroid 6, Android 10, latest)

I changed my screen resolution to a lower one through this app, used it for a while, restarted and now I see a black screen after startup animation, but system is running, I just can't see or interact anyhow.

I cleared the cashe via Orange Fox Recovery,

I tried to change the resolution back via:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920

Also tried this command to reboot into safe mode:
adb reboot safe-mode

It didn't work as well, so I tried this:
adb shell setprop persist.sys.safemode 1 && adb reboot

I tried to connect to my phone via Mirroid (have been using it for a while), to share it's screen with my PC, didn't help, I saw a black screen.

What should I do?

Can cheaper USB C cables make phone hot while charging?

Hello,

I have Sony Xperia X Compact. This is my first phone with USB C connector. I actually have two cheaper USB C cables, but phone gets hot while charging (on display too) . Battery shows 40-42 °C in CPU-Z and CPU cores are on 43-50 °C . But only when charging with these cables. Could better cable make phone cooler? Charger/s are OK (2,1 A) , I charged older Android phones (Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z5) with them without any issues with phones hot.

Thank you in advance.

Save Tivo files?

I have a Samsung A8 tablet. My cable box uses Tivo to record shows. Through the Tivo app on my tablet, I can download shows that I've recorded on my Tivo. My question is, can I move those downloaded Tivo recordings from my tablet to another device (external HD, PC, etc) for viewing elsewhere? When I download the Tivo recordings using the app on my tablet, I can't find a copy of them anywhere on my tablet. Does anybody know where those files are stored? Thanks

Google maps navigation ETA not changing colors, staying black or white

Google Pixel 6. The latest Android 13 update . While traveling this past weekend I know it's going down the interstate that my ETA at the bottom of the navigation was either black or white depending on the color mode. I really like the green, Amber, red that it displays when there are traffic issues on the route. But currently my Google maps is not displaying any of that. It's just black or white. I'm using the traffic layer. The speed also stays white, meaning it would turn red if over the speed limit, etc. It stays the same color as well. The navigation and locations are working great. Everything else navigation wise seems pretty spot on. Does anyone know what else I'm missing or overlooking to get those colors back working again? I appreciate any help and feedback. Thank you all.
