Is their some way to disable wireless AA VPN warning?


Hello guys. Is their some way to disable the Android Auto VPN warning? I use a VPN quite often and every time I go in to my car this warning comes up. But I can not disable mute or suspend it. I am aware AA doesn't work well with a VPN. But having no way to like accept that is annoying. Now I have to disable the VPN which I don't always want to do. Or unpair and repair AA every time I want to use it.
Its not like you swipe the warning away. It comes back every few seconds as long as the VPN is on.
If their is someway to disable or even remove this useless feature perhaps with ADB. Do let me know.
EDIT: Thank you all who suggested to to exclude AA from the VPN app. never done this with wireguard but this was indeed the solution!


Galaxy S23 Ultra Ringtone Volume Issue
I've been having an issue with my ringtone volume randomly lowering itself. It doesn't matter if my master volume is at 100%; most calls will come in silent or extremely low volume. The only way I know how to lower the ringtone volume specifically is through the settings menu, and every time I go into those settings, it is set to low or 0%. Does anyone know of any fix for this issue? I found a few forum posts on this topic on Samsung's website, but I didn't see anyone reply with a fix. Thank you in advance!

Record voicemail on Android 5
Hi, I'm looking for a way to record voicemails that my recently deceased grandfather sent to my grandmother. Visual voicemail is setup but it does not show the messages, so I can't just save them by sharing them with my phone. Also her SIM is not "nano" format so I can't use it in my fairphone 4 to record it from there
If anyone can recommend a play store app that is not a privacy nightmare, or a way to install f droid on her phone, that would be lovely (even after enabling apks it couldn't open the f-droid apk, I assume because the API on her phone is too outdated)
Edit : nevermind, I remembered that her phone carrier has a web interface with the option to download the messages as a .mp3 file. Thanks to everyone for your replies, recording through jack was also a good idea but it completely went over my head after years of using a phone with no jack

How to remove this icon from the status bar? Xperia 1 VI, Android 14


Edit: I found the culprit! It is an app I've been using for years called "Notification Toggle" that has sadly been abandoned, and that seems to have a bug on Android 14 where it's icon will be stuck at 1 instead of showing the current date. I completely forgot it even had this function, because it was a default on all my phones for a looooooing time without me ever opening it or fiddling with the settings. Sad to see it abandoned, with no hope of getting this bug fixed, but what can I do...
I switched phones recently, and am very satisfied with my Xperia, but there's this one useless icon in the taskbar that annoys me a bit and that is like to hide, but I can't identify it, could someone help?
I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't list it as one you can blacklist in the list of toggles, and I don't know how to find it's key to add it as a custom one. Tried turning off calendar notifications, but that's not it - it still shows. Does anyone know what it is and how to hide it? It's a

Any keyboard with undo functionality?
Hackers Keyboard has that via ctrl+z, but only in horizontal mode. For this only i had my Galaxy S3 in horizontal per default. But can't do that with modern phones' aspect ratio and i'm missing undo since then.
Edit: i'll go with Heliboard for now.

Install MicroG on rooted Galaxy S20+
If anyone could point me to some information or guide about this I'd really appreciate that.
I think the official com.android.gsm and friends need to be uninstalled first. I've tried that with adb, console reports "success", Google Play Services is no longer listed in Settings > Apps.
But... if I try to install MicroG via Fdroid or Droid-ify it goes through the install process, there's no error, but MicroG Core is not shown as "installed". If I try to install the apk with adb it says the currently installed version is newer than the one I'm trying to install?
microg.org seems to just assume you know how to install.
I read something about signature spoofing but I thought that was only for older devices.
Any insights / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I think this is the answer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

Automated local folder move/sync actions?
What is a free and preferably open-source way to automatically move files from one folder to another on android?
My case: Basically my Camera app doesn't allow for me to set where to store the captured photos, so I have to move them each time. How can I automate this?
I want to make all files that appear in one folder, (/DCIM/Photography_Pro/) moved to (/DCIM/Camera/).
Solved by suggested app in comments; Media Merger on fdroid!
