My Son has a Samsung A04 and has recently out the blue getting a **whatsapp error that states: Whatsapp was unable to start the camera. if you continue to experience issues with the camera, please restart your device.**
Cool so i did just that.. Restart.. try video call again, same issue.
Next uninstall Whatsapp, restart phone, reinstall whatsapp, do the setup again, try to video call, and it worked. directly after the test video call he tries to video call his mom and same error came up again.
now after trying to search for a fix another system error came up the reads: **com.sec.Android.app.camerasaver keeps stopping.**
I have cleared the cache of both camera and whatsapp apps, and whatsapp has all the permissions it possibly can get.
But now when im trying to open the camera app that comes with the phone it also says: **couldnt open camera, Try Again**
**Please Help!!!!**

In June, I upgraded to
Android 11. In Android 10, you could set the screen brightness in the standard Camera app, just like in all other apps. But in Android 11, the camera automatically turns on at maximum screen brightness, and you can’t change it. How can I turn off the maximum screen brightness and make it possible to adjust it? I need this because I use my smartphone at the minimum screen brightness, and the photos are noticeably darker than in the preview. Therefore, in the camera, I also want a minimum screen brightness.

I have mi smart scale XMTZC02HM and Samsung Health keeps telling me that it doesn't discover any accessories. Xiaomi scales are supported in Samsung Health app. When I exit the app and go to bluetooth settings of my Samsung mobile device, it instantly discovered the Mi scale but I can't pair the samsung phone with Xiaomi scale. FYI, the Mi smart scale pairs successfully with MiFit app but it doesn't with Samsung Health although Samsung Supports it. Is there any solution?

How can I export Samsung memos?
Using the built-in Memo app on a Samsung Galaxy Avant, I've created several memo files, and they are saved on the device and synced with my Samsung account. How can I export the memos as text files, or some other readable file format that lets me get the text into another program (e.g. Google Keep)?

I would like to save 200+ memo from the default samsung application
What I did:
-----------------
I already succedded to save memos one by one but it takes too long to do this for all of them, the process is the following:
- Open the samsung memo application
- Go into each Memo
- Save it by sharing it (thought the three dots) to Google Drive.
What I wanna do:
-----------------
- Save all of them without reapeating the steps above 200+ times
*Note: Any ways to save/export them on a more successful way or to use them from another "memo application" are welcome!*
**edit:** I know how to save one memo (as explained above), but I'm looking for a way to automate it or extract a large quantity of them at the same time.

Why does it need them?
(I decided to grant access, since I don't want any security risks due to outdated apps, but I'm still curious.)

So on my samsung galaxy tab 3 running android kitkat, I noticed something in the notification bar. An app named samsung apps was downloading new apps, as if it was like the normal app store. One was Samsung billing.
After each download I was prompted, "Google may regularly check installed apps for potentially harmfull behaviour. Learn more in Google Settings > Verify apps."
It was followed by an accept and decline. I just pressed the back button and it went away. Then I noticee samsung apps was renamed Galaxy Apps.
Is this a legitimate new update? Did anyone else get this? (If you use a samsung device).

I installed CyanogenMod 12.1 to my galaxy S2(GT-I9100) along with gapps. (Later I tried the same with different gapps too) and everything went good, I successfully installed both zip from CWM 6.0.4.x.
But after I switch on my phone, after all initial steps, I noticed Google Play app is missing, all other gapps are present.
I have used same gapps file for installing in Galaxy note (GT-N7000) along with CyanogenMod 12.1 and Google play store is present
This is first time I'm facing these kind of issue with CyanogenMod installation.
Anybody can help on this issue?

I am going to change the official stock Android on my Samsung Galaxy S4 to the latest version of CyanogenMod. But after reading some forum threads about how beautiful and useful it is, I have a question regarding Samsung Apps:
Is there any Samsung Apps available or is it possible to install them somehow?
The problem is that I do not really want to lose my camera functionality (double camera photo and automatic color correction), hover function, S Memo, Samsung Apps, S Planner and so on.
What you may suggest me? I really liked that CM functionality, but I also need almost all of the Samsung default tools, like S Memo (the most useful for me).
