[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfidelman:
Hopefully there's a simple answer to this, and hopefully this is a place to find it!

I'd like to be able to switch between the front, back, and a USB-C connected camera for input to streaming apps (notably Facebook Live, and Zoom conferencing, but would like a more general solution). Ideally, video mixing (e.g., picture-in-picture), would be nice.. The primary application is to stream live interviews, site walkarounds, etc., from a gopro or the camera in a pair of AR goggles. E.g., live stream the view from the head-mounted camera, with an inset view of me, from the phone's front camera.

Right now:

- I can almost do it all from a Microsoft Surface - the basic camera app allows selection from front, back, external USB camera. Control of camera selection is through the system settings dialog.

- On a Samsung Galaxy Note 20, I can't seem to find the equivalent of a system-level setting. The basic camera app allows for picture-in-picture still & video from the front/back cameras - but doesn't seem to have a way to select an external camera. Facebook live allows switching front/back, doesn't seem to do picture-in-picture.

Documentation for all this stuff seems hard to find. I've been pouring through the various android developer sites, and device related sites - lots of stuff on low level code interfaces, nothing on what's actually coming across the cables, and mostly out-of-date youtube videos on how to do very specific things with very specific external video switches, and various downloadable apps that don't seem to work very well.

Which leads to the following questions:

- Are there any deeply buried settings - in Android, Samsung Developer Tools, or Facebook, Zoom, Teams - that let one select a usb camera? (Bonus for allowing picture-in-picture.)

- Any recommendations for an Android video switch/mix application that inserts itself between the system video interface, and standard apps?

Hopefully, amongst all the noise, there's a simple solution.

Thanks very much for any assistance anybody can offer.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
Basically what happens is I get old texts from previous conversations as if they were new. They will come in randomly but tend to follow the sequence of the conversation, so it basically replays the conversation but slowly over the day. Seems to affect group chats more. It makes following conversations very hard since they are full of old texts that are not relevant but they show up as new. Also annoying to keep getting notifications when I'm actually waiting for a text only to see that it's an old text that I got days ago.

Current phone is Google Pixel 4A with CalyxOS, but I've also tried Graphene OS and had the same issue. I've tried the stock app as well as QKSMS. I did not get the issue with Signal (using as SMS client) but they dropped support for SMS, so this started back again as soon as I switched off Signal. I even tried putting the sim card in my old phone (stock android) and it's still doing it! This part is strange to me because when this problem first surfaced, doing this did fix the problem.

How do I make this stop or begin troubleshooting this? Nobody in my contacts is having this issue so trying to convince them to switch to another messaging system is kind of futile, this is my problem. I am starting to wonder if I should just get an iphone like everyone else because it just works, but I really hate the closed nature of apple ecosystem.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
I was thinking of looking into how to do app development and modify an existing open source client so that it ignores texts that have a send date older than 24h, but before I do that, is there already a text client for Android available in the F droid store or as an APK that would have such a feature?
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
So this is not just group chats like I thought. Starting to get old texts I got from single conversations now. Even pictures get resent. These show up as new texts, though they still have the original send date. This will at least make it easier to filter these out.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
Anyone have an ideas how to make this stop? Driving me insane. I really don't want to have to write my own app.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
Anyone? This problem is driving me insane. It started happening with a vengeonce again. I am being bombarded by old texts that I already got days ago. It's just playing out the entire conversation over the course of a few days. Have to put the phone in airplane mode to make it stop otherwise the phone is just lit up non stop with old texts coming in.

At very least is there some kind of logging of sorts I can enable that would help me better troubleshoot this?
[General Questions and Answers] innergat:
Inreally dont know but i Remember this happened to me sometime ,maybe Just try a factory reset or change rom , i dont know
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
I tried several roms, resets etc. While it was happening I even put the sim card in another phone and it started doing it on that phone too. It's also not a carrier issue since I'm the only person having this issue. I've also tried all sorts of text apps. The only one it didn't do it with was Signal but they dropped SMS support, which really sucks.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
I am willing to pay $200 to anyone that can help me solve this issue. It is driving me completely insane to the point that I might just give up and buy an Iphone against my will. I'm not really an Apple fan but there's no denying that their stuff just works. I just hate all the spying crap like how they scan your device's contents or listen to your mic etc. At least with a custom android ROM most of that stuff is stripped out.
[General Questions and Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
So tried replacing the sim card with a new one. Didn't fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nirvashone:
my Sister in laws dad died 2 weeks ago. he had a Note 20 ultra. my sis in law doesnt know the password to the device. remote unlock was not enabled either, i tried it via hia samsung account. is there any other way of salvaging the data on the phone via rooting or adb commands? he wasnt very tech savvy so nothing was backed up to the cloud, otherwise we'd have reset it already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
Contact Samsung support. They will be able to help once ownership is verified
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Unfortunately this is a heavy gray area on xda. You won't get much more help than what you already did. ANy method will wipe the device. But if you can prove ownership and such death certificates samsung should help
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] SGELE123:
Hi Guys,

I have tried everything I can without downgrading or root access, there seems to be an overlay on Instagram's login.

I have a farm of 100 A7's Lite, Carrier T-Mobile and if I open Instagram the login page is black, if I click back for a split second I can see the login page, so its there, but this black screen covers it, if the bot logs in then the screen is removed. I am sure its security related but I can't find a fix

Its only related to Android 12, it does not happen on 11, installing an old APK form 6months ago works until it updates in the background, I uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all bloatware including t-mbile played around with many developer settings and so far no luck

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] harsimran1411@yahoo.com:
Hi Team

I have the Note 9 SM-N960F from australia , I am not able to put into recovery mode and neither I can flash it to any ROM, please help me to find the solution for this . It boots to FRP locked enabled Binary thing. Please assist .

OEM LOCK ON

FRP LOCK ON

Please please please help me .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chrysopra:
On a locked device, you can't install any other ROM, than stock update.

To remove FRP:

First, you need to open the Settings menu and remove the screen lock security feature.

In the same menu find the Accounts option and Google account you are logging in on your device with, and remove it. On some phones, the removal option might be hidden behind the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. If you have a few active accounts, make sure that you remove them one by one until none is left.

Next thing to do is an OEM unlock. Before flashing, read carefully the Instructions and be sure to flash the right versions. Otherwise you may brick your device...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] harsimran1411@yahoo.com:
the problem is that its not going to settings as well. It just restarts to the red message that says binary lock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] engage4:
You need to flash stock firmware with same CSC.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] paulomodesto:
I had a oneplus 5T smartphone that had a button "Slide Alert" that allowed me to change between 3 sound profiles.

This Pixel 7 Pro have something like that but virtually.

But sadly it won't work as simple as the OnePlus Alert Slider.

With Alert Slider I would have on first position to have all sounds enabled but no vibration, second position I would have to mute all sounds notifications with no vibration, and the third position I would maintain the mute all notification sounds but enable the Vibration.

I wanted PIXEL 7 to do that, and I was thinking it would do that.

I configured it to have all sounds notification enabled, but with no vibration, then, if I click volume up or down key, it will appear in upper volume slider the option to select mute position, that will mute notifications sounds as intended with no vibration, but if I choose the vibration position, it will remain silent, but will not enable the Vibration.

In that position I only can enable vibration if it is already enabled when in "sound position" but I don't want it to be enabled when ringing.

Does yours works same way?

It's odd having Vibration mode enabled, with symbol on status bar but it doesn't vibrates.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] paulomodesto:
Is it possible, or is there a way to have Pixel 7 Pro with Vibrating notifications on vibration mode without vibrate on sound mode?

On that tree options we have when we click volume rocker?

I can only mange to have the vibration mode doing what is suppose to do "Vibrate" if vibration is already enabled on "normal sound" mode, if vibration is disabled, the vibration mode doesn't work.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p51d007:
It wasn't until AFTER I received my P7P that I found out that it will not side load apps that are x32 bit without rooting/flashing etc.

What a PITA! I'm actually thinking about sending it back and just keeping the P6P.

Couple apps I use for work aren't x64 bit yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
This shouldn't be a surprise from big sister Google. Big sisters just do what they want.

Google Pixel got tired of waiting and rammed it down your throat because it's in your best interests and they know better than you. Same corporation that forced you to use the cpu cycle sucking scoped storage because you're incapable of managing your phone's security.

Even more madding is their own 64 bit OS is still using 32 bit libraries, but you can't!

Global Gookill to the rescue... who's going rescue us from them? Another reason to use phones that run on Android 9 or 10. The last 3 years have yielded smartphone's with huge batteries and worse SOT. 5G isn't needed, and variable refresh rate displays come at the cost of poorer color/gamma accuracy/calibration, a higher energy consumption and likely an increased failure rate on many phones.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kabirjedi:
Good bless x64 best way less memory usage.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
x32 is old, devs shouldn't be pushing it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Google still uses it in their recent Pixel OS releases🤣 You can't though...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
There is no "x" in "32 bit", nor is there in "64 bit". You are confounding things you've seen in DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURES.

Specifically, x86 architecture, and x86_64 which is the 64bit extension to x86 developed by AMD. x86_64 is sometimes abbreviated to "x64", but this specifically implies x86, which DOES NOT apply to the chip in your phone, which is ARM.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
The worm has turned it seems.

Apparently ARM while be exclusively 64 bit in 2023.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Yes, but that's not related to what I said. However it is likely the main reason why gooble is deciding to hard switch now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
You do know Android has been x64 since 5.0 Lollipop in 2014, this is just Google doing away with what is effectively pointless now like 16 bit support in Windows
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Where the SOC's though? Don't think so. It's of passing interest to me at this point as I have no plans of upgrading either hardware or firmware until the dust settles. At least 2-3 years meanwhile I'll happily run my N10+'s.

I have no doubt that's why Google is doing it. Why bum rush their customers though when Google itself still are using it? More hypocrisy from the "elite"; we can use it but you can't.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
Err well obviously the ARM chips were out 😕 ARMv8 was introduced back in 2011
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Never gave the history of it much thought. It's interesting though.

Eventually it will be a good thing except Google Android is already doing what MS did as more capable processors and hardware emerged; bogging them down with crapware. Like the forced implementation of scoped storage, what's next?

Unlike PC's there's limited space, power and cooling capacity. The latest generations of Androids are hitting that wall... hard and many suck because of it. Powerful, power hungry but barely out perform my 3yo N10+ running on Pie on most tasks and most get worse SOT even with bigger batteries. They should be almost twice as efficient not the other way around.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Well scoped storage is actually critically important, as the current evolution of the "external storage" problem that they introduced with Android 1.0.

Basically, they used to have a physical external storage device (microsd card), formatted with a zero-security filesystem (vfat), and shared with all the different programs. Now they are finally giving the USER control over what data each program actually has access to, something that was impossible with vfat.

Unfortunately, its way too late to eliminate external storage. Too many application developers depend on it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Scoped storage is a needless burden. You control security by what you install and download as well as a firewall. The current load on this N10+* is over 2.5 yo, last firmware update was 3 years ago. It remains fast, stable with minimal maintenance. That's what Android is capable of. Security isn't an issue.

There's no saving dumb bunnies. They will always get squashed no more what you do. Just don't wreck your ride trying to save them... which is what Google just did.

Safety and trophies for everyone. not.

*My other N10+ is running on 10, it has around 100 new system apps added to maintain its functionality and usability compared to the one running on Pie. They both look and behave almost identically. I prefer Pie.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
When you need to run the program you got from your bank, you need it. That's all there is to it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Bank accounts are 100% insured even if it gets hacked. All critical data is redundantly backed up on multiple hdds, flash drives and time staggered. I have more security than most users with up to date phones... I thought it through, most haven't.

No bank, shopping or social media apps are ever installed on my devices. Can you say the same or have you created security holes?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
You might as well go all the way and not carry a phone at all. Have fun.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
You are a victim of your own device.

I access banking and sites via Brave browser only. KISS, keep it simple...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
That's nice, and it was just an example.

A well designed operating system will allow you to conveniently run untrustworthy software without it being allowed to do anything dangerous.

Do you understand? Its purpose is to make life EASIER, not impossible. You shouldn't have to use weird, difficult, and frankly pointless workarounds.

And to be blunt, going through a web browser puts you at HIGHER risk than using a purpose built application, because of its added complexity and the fact that it needs more permissions since you use it for more than just one thing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p51d007:
When I got my first phone that had variable refresh, I set it for 60, then showed the phone to everyone at work saying it was a new 90hz phone. They all clamored about how silky smooth it was. Then, I showed them it was on 60, set it to 90 and they couldn't tell the difference. LOL

First thing I do with a new phone, is enable developer options, set all the animation to 0.5x, set the refresh rate to 60, DISABLE 5G. 4G is FAST enough for a stupid phone anyway.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
That's pretty funny. I know I would see the difference when scrolling but I learned long ago to ignore the blur. Remember how smooth a CRT Trinitron monitor was? That phosphor after glow.

I also spurned 5G as 4G streams movie fine for me and my unlimited data plan is grandfathered.

Downloads take longer but most are throttled by the websites themselves and I only use cloud for gmail. Color/gamma calibration/accuracy is far more important to me as I can see it, and it irritates me when it's not spot on. My color perception is in the top 3%.

On top of that I want a flagship with a square corner display, a 1.25-1.5tb dual drive and an spen on the right side. Samsung made up my mind by not giving me any viable options for 2 years at that point (bought a 2nd new N10+), now it's 3 going on 4 years. Pie does everything I need it to do well as does my current ecosystem of apps. I like trouble free operation, not constantly having to chase down loose ends induced by Samsung and Google. Updates/upgrades have caused far more trouble than any malware and cost me far more time. This 3 yo N10+ is just a work horse of a phone and I refuse to give up this level of functionality, usability, balance, reliability and form factor for anything less. Why should I?
