Samsung S9+ Pictures Popup - General Questions and Answers

Samsung Galaxy S9+. Whenever I try to view a picture I get a popup that says, "Allow location to be shown?"
If I tap on it, it goes to google chrome, and brings up a privacy statement from foursquare.
Virus?

Phone Manager can change settings
If you click agree, you can see the location in the photo details you took, and you won't be taken if you don't agree. It may be that the read location permission of your album is set to ask, you can go to the mobile housekeeper to change to disabled or allowed.

Account action required/sync not working

Hello XDA! Since yesterday on my HTC 10 running a custom ROM(don't know if it makes a difference) I get this notification from Google play services. It says account action required and when I tap on it, it asks for my Gmail and password. I put in the right combination and pretty much nothing happens.
The big problem is that almost no Google app works now. YouTube, G+, Hangouts etc. Chrome and others do work tough.
I tried putting in a wrong password and it definitely knows that it's the wrong one so I'm thinking I'm not being hacked.any ideas?
I forgot to add that in settings and Google account it says that sync isn't working, will be back shortly. It's been a whole day though.

Create Shortcut for Specific Activity/Screen?

Good Afternoon!
I'm trying to create some specific shortcuts for some time but until now no succeed. Then I've downloaded the "Oh My Shortcut" app, but I don't know how to fill the fields in the app. Someone konw it?
For example, a have the activity "com.teslacoilsw.launcher.appgroups.GroupAppListActivity". I just know that "com.teslacoilsw.launcher" is the package.
I have the "Shortcut Master" app, with which I got to create the shortcut in the home screen. But this app doesn't appear in the Shortcut Apps List (Home Screen -> New Sortcut).
I thank for any help.

I am not sure about how to help with those apps but, here's some helpful information that, I hope, will have the solution to what you are looking for.
The following is a thread for the Shortcut Master.

There's a bunch of apps that are specific to shortcuts and here's a few of them that are really good ones (and even offer free promo codes for XDA members as well as very good support too).

Hello, friend! Thanks for the reply. Actually, I have and tried to use the Shortcut Master and the other suggested app won't work for me because I use CM 12.1 (Lollipop based).
One new thing that I've found out today: while I was trying to solve the problem, it came a message saying that the requested command was denied because it is protected.
The strange thing, is that I made the shortcut using the Shortcut Master with the capture tool, but creating the shortcut with the other app results in the message above.
My dilemma is that the Shortcut Master doesn't appear in the Apps List (in the sidebar menu). Thus, I can't use it.

If I remember correctly, when I had last used CM12.1 on my GS3, I had began using the Next Launcher (I'm still using now) and that has a Shortcut feature built into the Launcher.
It also allows for App drawer customization for the Shortcuts too.
Many/most Launchers have this feature but, I can only recommend the Next Launcher since I've been using it for a million years LOL!

Firefox Configuration Help

I've been using Firefox as my browser for a long time now. All of a sudden, it is refusing to connect to certain websites that I visit regularly. I get a warning screen that reads, "This Connection is Untrusted."
In the reading that I've done on this, it looks like Firefox now looks to see if there is an https:// in front of the URL. If not, or if there is mixed content, it returns this warning. Sometimes the screen allows you to click a link at the bottom that reads "I understand the risks" and then you can setup a permanent exception to the rules and visit the site without any issue. Other times, they don't give you the option. When that happens there doesn't appear to be any way to get the site to load.
Does anyone know how to turn these warning off? I've looked in about:config, but I haven't found a setting.

Are you referring to the Android App or the Windows Software?

Sorry about that. It's the Android app. I'm running it on a Sprint Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.0.1.

A quick Q for anyone with the Huawei P20 PRO

Can the stock camera app be configured to write both jpeg and RAW files, and RETAIN this config for when it is quick-launched?
On the Samsung S7 you can't do that. To get RAW you have to select PRO mode but there is no way to quick-launch the camera app in PRO mode. And none of the 3rd party camera apps can be quick-launched... I am sure there is a way with a rooted phone (my S7 is) but you then can't use google pay (well, not without some complicated hacks).

What does this pipe icon mean?

I just noticed this today, and I have not installed any apps which I think related to this Pipe icon. It just flash and disappear repeatedly but if I pull the status bar there is no visible notification that I can check.
I checked running apps, I cant seem to find any related apps, I only have messenger, tasker, spotify and other system apps. It seems I could not also find any details through google. I already tried rebooting.

I've seen that image before and your question had made me wonder where...
Please Note: I only seen the image itself but, I've never had it specifically popup on any of my devices. So, in another word, I really don't know specifically what app, action, setting, etc... would cause it to show on your device.
EDIT: I've located the specific image. It seems to have the name "React Native" to it but, I don't know what that is.
Here's what I had located:
The following image seems to be labeled "ReactNative-snapshot-image1297163683".
The following image seems to be labeled
"ReactNative-snapshot-image-6741367".
I can't be of any further assistance than this but, I hope that it helps you out with your search.
I wish you the best of luck!
