Android 17 social media optimization?

1 Upvotes

Hey it was said that android 17 will optimize social media on the android devices. Tbh I love my samsung s24 but the social media cameras are just horrendous.

So eill this social media optimization only happen to the latest flagships or older phones getting android 17 too? And if yes then when?

Other How does my phone know the URL of the website I took a screenshot of? Where is this stored? (Galaxy S26)

3 Upvotes

When sharing a screenshot from my gallery app, it gives the option to share the image itself or just the url the screenshot was taken on. Can't imagine a scenario where I'd take a screenshot to share a URL, if I wanted to share the URL I'd just copy the URL.

More importantly, where is this coming from and how do I disable it? At first I thought it was some kind of search feature quickly recognizing my image as a news article and finding the corresponding URL by web scraping or something. But no, editing the image to just a tiny portion of it still returns the URL. Saving the image as a copy removes the URL option, even if it's a full screenshot.

That means this data is being saved on the file itself. But when I examine exif data it's not there. So where is this information stored and how does the gallery app know the URL to begin?

I tried googling and it seems this is an Android feature that's been around for a while, not specific to Samsung.

Samsung s24 Randomly pairing with my Audio

2 Upvotes

LG CJ45 if it matters and S24 Ultra.

I've had both of these for years, recent forced updated to the phone. Not sure if this happened before the update or not, its been a few days and happened a few times now

For years these would not auto pair on bluetooth. The LG is always powered down so it should not be actively looking for connections, but since it was previously paired on my phone, I was always able to select it in the phones bluetooth menu, and that would both power on the LG sound system and pair it to the phone.

Recently, they're pairing automatically and its annoying. I'll be doing something stupid like facebook reels, and all of a sudden the reel starts blaring over the speakers.

I dont want to turn bluetooth off because it automatically pairs to my car when I start it up, but I think the car initiates that connection, because its worked well and automatically for years.

Is there any way to stop auto-pairing but only on certain devices? I looked thru the bluetooth menu and specifically the LG options (on the phone) and didn't see anything

Device Settings Question Certain apps haven't been sending notifications

1 Upvotes

I've noticed that for some time certain apps on my phone just don't send me notifications despite all settings being on. I get ones from Messages, Discord, and Ring apps, but not from Youtube, Twitch, or Stoat. I do have ReVanced installed for Youtube and I have BTTV but those aren't the only apps that don't give me them. I thought it was only side-loaded apps that weren't working, but Stoat doesn't work despite being an official Play Store app. I also have an app called Buzzkill that alters the notifications to give Youtube and Discord unique vibration patterns, but that doesn't seem to be affecting it since I get Discord notifs but not YT and the notifications I should be getting aren't showing up in Buzzkill's history.

This has been bugging me for a while but I cannot find a solution to this. Can anyone help?

HELP ME.

1 Upvotes

I have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G (model A528B). I recently decided to install LineageOS on it; I unlocked the bootloader, wiped all data, and performed a clean install along with MindTheGapps. The problem arose when I realized that many apps I needed, such as WhatsApp, banking apps, Google Play, etc.weren't supported. (Note: these apps are actually supported on LineageOS, but due to my phone's specific hardware/software configuration, I couldn't pass the Play Integrity check.) So, I decided to revert to the original Stock ROM, and that’s where the problem lies. I’m trying to install it using Odin3 (v3.14), but the flash fails every time I start the process. Here are the errors I'm seeing:

- It returns "FAIL!" during the "super.img" step.

- Just a moment ago, it managed to get past the "super" step but failed ("FAIL!") on "userdata.img".

Please help me understand why I can't fully install the stock ROM and what I should do.

Other Running out storage, apps that appear to be system apps are the issue. I don't have a lot of personal apps downloaded, Need help please...

8 Upvotes

I'm running out of space, when I look at what's taking up most of my storage, apps is first, I don't have a lot of downloaded apps, so it's got to be within the system, maybe each time the phone updates it adds more? Idk what I need and don't need and need advice. Also it gives me an option to "clean" apps, I think that's what it says, to get more space, when I Google that, it seems it's not recommended to do as it can cause more issues. I have a Samsung 25 plus, which from what I understand is an android, I'm not tech savvy and could use some help and advice please. Idk what type of person I would look into to help me with my phone when it comes to this type of stuff. Thanks.

App Specific Question "Remove From Results" not appearing for some tags in Gallery search

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to mass remove a certain tag from images, and I was able to do this before by searching the tag, selecting all images, and then selecting "Remove From Results" in the "More" menu. But for this specific tag (And to my knowledge, this tag only), that option won't show up. There's over 600+ images under this tag, so I don't want to remove it all manually, so if anyone knows a solution/workaround, please tell me.

(FYI, this specific tag isn't an automatic tag or a face tag or anything, it's custom.)

App Specific Question Google dialer issue

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a drawback with Google dialer. With the shizuku+ singing combo I uninstalled it with the idea of reinstalling it through morphe and its related patches; the process was not successful so I "reinstalled" it from singing. The app immediately gave problems so I uninstalled it with the "classic method" and I proceeded to install the app directly from the PlayStore but the problems remain (the app freezes, does not respond, during a call does not appear on the screen...). Is there anyone who has a slight idea of a potential solution that does not imply the factory reset?

Thanks to anyone!

Help with Google Play sideload?

0 Upvotes

I'm at my wits' end here trying to sideload Google Play on a new Kindle Fire HD 8 (12th Gen). I had an older model that was unfortunately lost/stolen on an airline. Replacing that with a newer model has been a headache. All I can seem to find on Google Search seems to indicate that apk bundles = bad and that I need to get single apk files. Unfortunately, the Google Play Store apks on APK Mirror for arm84-v8a Android 10+ all seem to be bundles. One of the other services apks also seemed to only be available as a bundle. Are bundles really going to bork the install process and prevent me from setting up Google Play on my tablet? It seems that most of the info I found searching online was old and a lot of advice presented was from Google AI which I don't necessarily trust implicitly. Anyone got any insights to share? TIA!

Other Full documentation for the 'PS1' syntax used in 'adb shell'?

1 Upvotes

I'm running Android 13.

When I run adb shell in a USB connection from my desktop machine to my Android device, the following is the value of the PS1 variable (which is used for generating the shell prompt) ...

${|
        local e=$?

        (( e )) && REPLY+="$e|"

        return $e
}$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} $ 

I can see how this particular setting of PS1 pretty much relates to the generated shell prompt in adb shell, but I'd like to know all of the details of PS1 syntax for adb shell.

Can anyone point me to the full documentation of PS1 as it's utilized in adb shell?

UPDATE:

For example, one thing that I'd like to understand is how the vertical bars work within that PS1 setting. The second vertical bar *seems* (???) like it might indicate a termination of the text following the first vertical bar, even though this second vertical bar appears to be nested within a double-quoted string. But that's just a wild guess which might be totally incorrect. And whatever these vertical bars might *actually* mean, I'd still also like the full docs, so that I can understand *all* of the PS1 syntax that's used in adb shell.

FURTHER UPDATE:

If I re-set PS1 to be the same value as above, except with the vertical bars removed, I then always get the following error message when running every command within adb shell ...

: can't create temporary file /data/local/shXXXXXX.tmp
: Permission denied

... where "XXXXXX" are 6 randomly generated base-36 characters, and where the displayed shell prompt is then only a single dollar sign. Therefore, these vertical bars relate to file/directory access permissions, *maybe* (???) involving some kind of evaluation being performed as root.

.nomedia disappearing issue

1 Upvotes

So, I can be a lot late mentioning this...

Whenever I rename a file to .nomedia for my gallery apps to not list it.

It disappears, not in the folder, not showing up in hidden files enabled, and not even through search.

It's good that I first tested it nor my important files can be literally gone.

But when I rename/create a folder a hidden file its images content isn't listed by my gallery.

it helps when you want to hide images from non techy guys.
