I tried today to use again the Excellent B4X Assistant by Alexander Stolte and the ChatGPT was completely down. I checked downdetector and this is globally encountered from Thailand to Canada and the whole Europe. ChatGPT is a very useful tool that I really wonder as for everything in human progress how we could ever live without it. Yesterday I tried to switch on my second phone after charging it from fully uncharged, and I got something like the Windows Blue Screen of death but it was Black and had only letters providing options that you could choose with Volume Up and Volume Down and click on the option with power button. It was the first time in my Android experience that I ever encountered something like this. I tried to restart in safe mode to clear cache and configuration files as it suggested but it could not complete the restart and stuck there and I was watching a loading animation like the one in B4X views. It stayed all night this way and I thought that this was the end of life for my phone. Early in the morning I had the idea to get a photo of my phone and pass it to chatgpt which guided me on how to exit safe mode and get the android in recovery mode, which I did successfully. Then, wiping everything from the phone, the phone restarted like nothing was faulty from the beginning (yeap, ok, except no data which I did not care as I already have removed most of the data myself at some point in the past).
