How to use USB-C external mic with Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra on apps such as Zoom and WhatsApp?

Hi! Is there a way to force the USB-C external mic to be used with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra on apps such as Zoom and WhatsApp? I could not find the setting on these apps nor in the system settings, and it's really frustrating.
Ideally, I'd like to use my bluetooth true wireless earbuds as speakers, and the USB-C mic as the microphone.

Thanks!

Help this is reprehensible I despise phones because of this.

I'm not even sure how and where to begin with this so I'll have to just throw things out and go from there. I'm beyond screwed at a major level. Everyone somehow assumes people know things just because it's 2023..HOw this mentality came about I'll never know. BUt anyway I've never owned a phone up until about a year ago and that is where my issues start with this.

I don't know why people tout phones as being so good when they're extremely limited to what they can do. I'm serious, I see people talk about things they have or do in/on their phone that's supposed to be universal things with all phones, such as take pictures, or edit entries, calendar's, alarms, reminders, scanning.. you get the idea...

Well I have a BLU V91 (AKA Blue G91) they changed the name for some reason...Anyway, all of the things every phone is supposed to have/do doesn't exist in/on my phone. I don't even have a settings option. It has what looks like 5 camera lenses on the back, but you can't take pictures, there is just a home screen thing with a few icons on it and that's it, you cannot even move the icons around. I've had people ask me things I have no idea what they even mean such as have I swiped up..Sorry wtf is swipe up? IN fact wth does swipe even mean and why are people saying it in conjunction with a phone...you're supposed to hold your phone and slide it..I don't get it.

You cannot close anything open on a phone, only way I can get anything closed that I open is to restart the phone...It's a piss poor design when you cannot even close anything without having to shut down/restart the phone.

Forget about gmail, the phone version is garbage. it doesn't even have over 3/4 of the options that the computer does. You cannot delete anything, there is no compose, you cannot attach anything, you cannot search, rename, move archive..all the options i use on PC aren't in the phone version. There is no search in fact you cannot even log out the option to do so simply doesn't exist. On top of all that, when you open gmail you have no clue what section you're even starting in.

Youtube on mobile has no comment section.

You cannot save any pictures from the net from anywhere. Pictures I did take don't exist in the gallery

You can't edit things in your phone book, If I misspell a persons name or input the wrong number I have to delete the entry and restart and hope I don't do it again

I have people using phrases without first finding out if I even know what they're talking about such as app drawer.
I'm sorry am I supposed to know what APP Drawer means?

People also claim phones come with a user manual..well mine didn't. After calling up the company, they gave me this lousy useless tool tip thing

So right now I have this phone that can make some calls, and nothing more.

I'm sick to death of people calling me troll because I don't know anything they're even talking about and acting as how can anyone not know this stuff..Well I don't.

Anything anyon e says to me about a mobile device I will ask what they mean. I cannot look anything up because either I don't know it's something that can be done or it's a thing, and or what is there is missing over 3/4 of the instructions because they're given from a stand point of someone having some understanding...well I have no understanding. You use any terminology with me and I'll look at you like a deer in headlights or if you're talking in some foreign language..Yes my problems with this are way beyond even that extent.

Apps have no instructions as to how to use them.
hell my phone went dim and it remained like that for over n8 months because nI just though that was normal. Only reason I know it wasn't is when someone asked me what time it was and I had to squint to look at it and they asked me why don't you tunr up the brightness..I said that's not a thing you can't the screen just remains dim. They said go to settings, I said what are you talking about there is no such thing. This went on until they said I had to be trolling, so I wound up bringing my phone back to Best BUY where I got it, handed it to someone and they somehow made it brighter, to which in 10 minutes went back to being dim again.


I to this day still have no idea what he meant by settings, and my screen is still dim. As I said it's supposed to be dim.

Help Cable Internet v. Fiber

I moved to a new area. I took my Xfinity with me. I am up to 1.2 gb download and about 40 upload. It works fine. Now, there's another service in the area called Windstream Fiber. I can get up to 1gb down AND up, theoretically. Can you folks give me your experiences with cable vs fiber? If someone has had Windstream, can you recommend it? I work from home so speed and consistency of connection is very important to me. I thank you in advance.

Can I separate my phone numbers on my android from my gmail account?

I recently had a terrifying moment regarding my new Samsung phone. I set up the new phone and everything transferred over nicely. I was trading in my old phone and so I delete my 50 phone contacts before I traded it in. When I did this I realized all of my contacts were also deleted on my new phone. this was strange and frustrating but not terrifying.
I own my own small business, I use my phone for work. My office manager called me and said all of our gmail contacts are gone, this is the terrifying part, I said what? She said they are all gone, 3 separate accounts, thousands of email contacts gone, erased. Now I have figured out how to restore them from the trash thankfully. But my question is, How do I separate these 2 entities. How is it that deleting 50 phone numbers from my phone also deleted thousands of email addresses from my business.
There must be a way to separate the 50 phone contacts from the thousands of email contacts. Any help would be much appreciated.

March Madness 23

College basketball is in the middle of conference tourney week. Brackets will be set this Sunday for the NCAA March Madness Tournament. A 64 team bracket with four pigtail or play in teams. Anyone into March Madness and follow college basketball? I always fill out a few brackets on Yahoo and sometimes on ESPN as well. I follow men's basketball and I never have a good bracket. It is fun to see just how bad a guesser I am. If you have a Yahoo or ESPN account, I encourage you to take your best guess and watch the tournament unfold. It's free.

Honor phone locked

Hello. I have a little bit of a problem with an Honor phone.

So, a "family friend" just gave me her honor phone (no idea which one it is, looks pretty old), and asked me if I can somehow get into the phone as she is logged in her facebook account there. So basically I just need to somehow get into the phone so she can change her Facebook email or phone number of the account or something.

When I turn on the phone, it asks for the PIN of course. Now my question is, can I somehow access FB app or somehow unlock the phone without paying too much for certain software?

All she really needs is an access to that facebook account that is logged in on that phone so that she can get the account back.

Thanks.

Transferring photos/ music to phone from PC

Hi
Ever since I've had my Android Moto G5 I've transferred photos etc to my PC by swiping down and selecting the transfer option from the drop down list. For some reason that list has now disappeared.
I've recently changed from Windows 10 to 11 but this was happening before I changed so I don't think that is relevant.
Please advise me how I can get my options back.

Usb attached device with 2 audio ports

Hello,

I'm developing a streaming music application. I connected via Usb a controller that have 2 audio ports (2 x Jack 3.5mm): one for speakers and one for headphones.
Android automatically detect the audio port for speakers as default. When I plugg in some speakers or headphones in the speakers port(default), the apps runs well and the music is heard.
When I plugg in the second port some headphones, the music isn't heard.

My question is: is it possible to find/get all audio ports from an Usb attached device to redirect the audio output in these 2 ports simultaneously?

SD card formatted as internal storage question

I have the SD card formatted as internal storage.
So now there are two sections on the device storage page: "SD card" (full) and "Shared internal storage" (still has space)

If the SD card is formatted as internal storage, how can I transfer data from the "SD card" section to the "shared internal storage section"?

And shouldn't they both be sharing the same storage space anyways? So why does it say "storage space running out" if I still have several GB left in "shared internal storage"?

Thanks for any clarification

Turning Windows into Android?

As many of you know: I have both Android and Windows 11 installed on my computer (a tablet-laptop hybrid). That is: I have two operating systems on the same computer. What about another approach? Can Windows be turned into Android?

Windows 11 can run Android apps (once you install the Android subsystem), but the ability to run Android apps on Windows isn't that same as having the Android experience. For example, Windows doesn't have the standard Android navigation buttons (back, desktop, switch apps) at the bottom of the screen. Windows also has a traditional desktop-computer desktop, and not a scrollable list of icons like you'd find on Android and iOS.

It is possible to get the Android experience with Windows 11?

Text message from iPhone comes in wrong time stamp

Ok so my wife has an iPhone 13 pro and I have a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra (This was happening with my s21 ultra as well a few weeks ago).
When we text each other one of her text messages will come in with a later time stamp...for instance if we are going back and forth texting at 8:00am all of a sudden one of her texts will come in and it will have a time stamp of 8:07am so every text before that 8:07am text will fall behind that one leaving it as the latest text. This will happen throughout the conversation making it very confusing... any ideas?

Worried mom

I could use a lil help. I have a 13 year old daughter that I am worried may have found a way to communicate in ways beyond me being able to verify so I am coming here with my questions hoping someone can explain this. So on my daughter's Google activity it's will randomly nit daily shoe used com. Samsung . Android.mtp then immediately after list used com.samsung.android.messaging or used Google or used com.samsung.android.gallery. but no messages show up on our bill at these times. Not sure what MTP can do. But does this mean that she has found a way to communicate with someone but somehow able to hide it from the Verizon statement? I know we can't control everything but the young man she was secretly talking to is very bad news, he already has criminal charges by another family whom he stole from. And we will go to any length to protect our daughter. Thank you for any help you could give me
