Android

I'm trying to figure out how I can choose an image in my clipboard when the media picker window comes up.

For example, if I'm on imgur.com and I want to upload an image in my clipboard, there is no option for me to paste into the input field.

Ideally, I would like to have something available in the media picker to paste from clipboard. That would allow using clipboard for any app.

I kinda consider this something like adding the clipboard to the "share" menu. https://github.com/tengusw/share_to_clipboard

Is there anything like this?

I do not have root access on my phone.

Why is it not possible on Android to synchronize with the cloud instantly when a file changes, like on a computer? Or is this possible and I don't know about it?

I use FolderSync, it works well but it sync my files at scheduled time. Nextcloud synchronize my files as I change them on the computer.

I just got a notice from Samsung that they have new a new Privacey policy. When I get to the policy page it is blank except for a "Accept new policy" and text saying I must accept the policy to see it. I clicked the button - then that screen closed. What?? no policy? BTW - this was not sent as a normal text and does not show up in messages.

Hey folks! I just bough the Honor 200 from Aliexpress, and waiting for it to arrive. Greatest deal of my life, honestly, Honor 200 for 280€ seems like a steal.

So, while I wait, I have been looking for cases and screen protectors. I wanted to ask you if you would recommend specific cases or protectors.

I am probably going to get hydrogel as I have no experience will glass protectors and I am afraid they are just not for me. What I wanted to ask is if there are types, or different qualities of hydrogel that will protect the phone better, or do I just get whatever I find?

And second, any recommendation on how can I know if a case will be durable and realiable?

so, just to check, this thing's useless, right?

got a 5-year old phone with a degraded battery that lasts half a hummingbird's fart and installed lineageOS 21. yet the battery info claims the battery is in excellent condition.

Hi folks, I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro on an early black Friday deal. I've had my previous OnePlus 9 for way longer than the average timeframe and the same with my Oneplus 6 before that.

Looking at cases, I noticed I recognize very few of the manufacturers, basically just Otterbox and Spigen.

If you gravitate towards a particular case manufacturer, I would love to know:

The specs of the phone are bombastic. 24 gigs of RAM for highest variant, 185 Hz support ( and I thought Moto's 144 Hz was the upper limit) but let down by only 2 Android OS upgrades.
