Can’t Acknowledge Chrome Popups on Android

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. Sometimes I will go to a website that needs my location and it will popup a message asking if this website can have access to my location. I try to click “yes” but nothing happens. If I try to click “no” nothing happens either. All I can do is click the back button and the website can’t have access to my location.

After doing some troubleshooting and research I have discovered this issue can be caused then certain apps have “Draw over other apps” permission. Specifically, I found out that when I have a chat head open with Facebook Messenger that I cannot acknowledge the Chrome popups. When I remove the chat head off the screen I can then acknowledge the popups just fine.

I know I had this issue on my previous phone as well (Galaxy Note 8) so the Facebook Messenger chat head feature could have been the culprit there as well but I never did fully investigate the issue on that phone.

If you are experiencing this issue I suggest removing “Draw over other apps” permission from all your apps and then start adding it back one-by-one to those that need it. This way you can narrow down the offending app.

This issue has been driving me crazy for a long time so I hope it helps someone else out.

Awesome Female Magician

Ekaterina Dobrokhotova Female MagicianEvery since I was a little kid I’ve always been fascinated with magicians.  I remember always watching every David Copperfield episode that was on TV and enjoying watching people perform magic whenever I could.   I even had my own magic kit as a kid.

Recently on YouTube I discovered a female magician from Russia.  Her name is Ekaterina Dobrokhotova.  I found this to be odd because in all my life I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female magician.   It seems everyone I’ve ever seen was a guy so I was certainly intrigued and had to check out some of her videos.    I’m sure there are other female magicians out there, but I’ve never come across them.

In her videos she mostly does card tricks, but the way she incorporates the tricks and music  is quite awesome.  Just the way she handles the cards is fun to watch.  I would love to see her in person sometime.  You can check out her website here.

To see her perform one of her tricks check out this video:
