(Pixel 6 Pro with Shokz OpenComm headset, which has a boom mic.) I want to capture audio using my headset when recording videos or talking to other apps such as ChatGPT or transcription apps. Is this possible? The headset mic works fine when I use my phone or WhatsApp. However if recording...

I've got a Nokia 5.3 as a backup phone (I do not recommend, but it works). After it upgraded to Android 12 recently, clicking on an image in my file manager (Total Commander) now opens the image in Google Photos. The default apps page in settings doesn't list images. And the app settings for...

That is the same behaviour that I observe. It mightn't be an enormous security hole, but it's still a security hole. It makes the characters more easily accessible to malware, as well as direct observation. I'm unlikely to be a target of sophisticated hacking attempts, though I still prefer...

Thanks. "Turn off pop up on keypress" works, and I've also turned off "pop up on keypress" in Gboard. I can't fix the visible character outside of the lock screen, though.

In Android 13 on Pixel 6, The last number inputted on the lock screen is clearly displayed. And when I enter any password on an app or website, the last character I've inputted is displayed. (This is terrible security. It makes it easier to be hacked by someone looking over your shoulder or...

When I cut or copy text, I get this little bubble pop up. It often blocks something I want to do and I'd rather it didn't pop up. Is there any way to stop it? Something similar pops up when I do a screenshot, but that's useful because I often want to edit the screenshot. Thanks!

Re: Chrome pop-up menu is low contrast – black on dark grey Update: If I force stop and restart, the problem goes away. And it happens rarely enough that this is a good enough solution.

SOLVED. (I can't seem to edit the post title, to add "solved" there.) I have a Pixel 6 Pro, and when I use Chrome (Version 97.0.4692.98), the context menu often has very low contrast colours: Any way to fix? (This post is supposed to end here, but the forum insists on including an old...

It's working again! But behaviour is different. I get a pop-up with the option to hold and place the icon, or to add automatically. It was with various sites. But it's working with those sites now.

Wait, no. I mean, if you're in the YouTube app and there's a link in the description, and you click it, I want that to open in Chrome.

When I try to add a link to my home screen from Chrome or Brave (Menu > Add to home screen) I go through the steps but nothing appears. The first time I did it on my new phone, it worked. Then a week or so later it stopped working. (I've had previous phone where it stopped working too.) So I...

Just curious, what's your device?

I think you're talking about the reverse behaviour – opening YouTube links in the app. I mean that I click a link in the description or in a comment, and it opens in a tab within the YouTube app. The in-app browser, which doesn't have the cookies or settings of my Chrome browser. I want it...

Yes

I've turned off in annoying in-app browser (Chrome custom tab) in most of my apps, but I can't find the setting in YouTube. Anyone? [Edit to clarify: I mean that I click a link in the description or in a comment, and it opens in a "custom tab" within the YouTube app. I.e. the in-app browser...
