I found the problem. It was self-inflicted. I use Light Flow (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow), which is a great app. The newest version has a powerful text-to-speech feature which I cleverly enabled to function when connected to my car via...

Good point on the permissions list. I have a hunch that the problem lies within Google Assistant, though.

I'm not using Android Auto. I'm using Textra.

When my Pixel 2 is connected via bluetooth to my car's audio system, incoming text messages are spoken aloud. How can I disable this feature?

For simple cataloging and resizing, I use ThumbsPlus or FastStone Image Viewer. For editing, which I rarely do, I use PaintShop Pro, paint.net, or PhotoShop. Thanks for the info about lack of EV data. That's a disappointment.

Thank you. In fact, I'm looking for a desktop tool, not an Android app. Can't do any serious analysis on the device.

Thanks . . . I was referring to the portrait mode (as opposed to portrait orientation), which is an amazingly good workaround for macro photos. Does Adobe Lightroom show exposure compensation (+2.0 to -2.0?)

I'm pretty amazed at the quality of the photos coming from my Pixel 2. After transferring the images to my computer, most of the usual exif information is available. However, I'm missing any reference to portrait mode (other than the special file name) and exposure compensation. Is this...

No problem. Thanks for helping sort this out.

Thanks, GSDer. On my phone, PicSay doesn't have a Paint effect. Instead, it has Marker, and tapping the blue marker icon (which looks exactly like your brush), there is no dialogue for the shape or size. I'm running PicSay Lite, ver. 1.6.0.1.

Thanks to all. I'd just like to be able to do simple things like type some text in a box on a photo. I tried the free version of PicSay, but couldn't find where to control the brush width. I agree that the Adobe and Sony sketch apps look like overkill. The Huber screenshot app looks good, but...

Got a link? There are a lot of apps named Sketch. Thanks.

lol! That's one way to talk yourself into it. ;)

Thanks for that idea, Mooncatt. It does add some bulk to a sleek phone, though.

BD and Friz, thank you. Buying a used phone was a no-brainer when you could easily replace the battery. Not so much now when you're spending a few hundred dollars on a good-quality 2YO phone with unknown battery power and no easy, inexpensive way to replace the battery.
