Is hyphenation done in line layout? Anyone know about our hyphenation dictionary?

It's simple, create an HTML file that contains these words and change its content so that the words are at the end of the line. As I said, you'll have to play depending on your screen size and everything, I cannot provide a universal test case. You're probably used to doing this, I only do this on my local computer which is inaccessible to you.
My OS is Android 7.1.1 on a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, but the issue has been reported to me from a user of Samsung Internet 9.2.10.15 on some Samsung device. So it does affect multiple devices.

Still occurs here. What did you try to reproduce as you failed? I just opened my website in Chrome on Windows (latest stable) and I can see this.

Reporter, it would be greatly help us to analyze if you could share any reproducing URLs for our investigations.
I guess the page reporter is seeing has lang="en" or lang="en-uk".
Tests:https://jsbin.com/boxamav/edit?html,output
(may need to shorten "12345" or make it longer depends on fonts)
* Win/Linux/ChromeOS Chrome hyphenates at:
- "start-up" for "en-us"
- "star-tup" for "en-uk" and "en"
* Mac Chrome and Safari hyphenates at:
- "start-up" for "en-us" and "en"
- "star-tup" for "en-uk"
* Firefox doesn't hyphenate at either point.
Two points need investigations:
* I'm not sure if "star-tup" is the correct hyphenation for UK English.
* When the lang is "en", should it be "en-us" or "en-uk"? Currently, Chrome matches Android behavior, but from the tests, Safari seems to use "en-us" for "en".

My page lang value is set to "en". Does "en-uk" exist after all? AFAIK the ISO country code for UK is still "GB". At least all browsers offer me to send "en-GB" in the accepted languages header.
Anyway, you can see the effect here:https://ygoe.de/en
Both words appear in the content. Please note that hyphenation is only active for page widths below 420 pixels. You may also need to edit the content to place the words at a line end (open developer tools, find the parent <p> element and add the contenteditable attribute, then edit the text on the page before each word to place it where you want).

Thanks, sorry, you're right, not "en-uk", but "en-gb".
Confirmed a few things:
1. "star-tup" is not a correct hyphenation even for "en-gb".
2. Android, and Chrome Android/Win/Linux/ChromeOS uses "en-GB" when "en" is set.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/jni/android_text_Hyphenator.cpp#143
From the test result, it looks like macOS uses "en-US" when "en" is set.
The "hyphenator.js" uses "en-us" when "en" is set.
https://github.com/mnater/Hyphenator/blob/master/Hyphenator.js#L93
3. Our "en-gb" dictionary is up-to-date with the TeX hyphenation dictionary.
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/tree/master/misc
4. The "en-gb" dictionary has the "r1tu" entry, meaning to hyphenate as "r-tu". This entry does not exist in the "en-us" dictionary. The "hyphenator.js" has this entry too.
https://github.com/mnater/Hyphenator/blob/master/patterns/en-gb.js
5. Firefox and hyphenator.js does not hyphenate "startup" at all.
I'm still not sure whether the issue is in the "en-gb" TeX dictionary (reproduces on macOS too) or in the hyphenator code (not reproducible on Firefox and hyphenator.js,) and also not sure whether to map "en" to "en-gb" or to "en-us".

Change "en" hyphenation to use "en-us" instead of "en-gb"
When the specified langauge is "en", this patch changes to use
the "en-us" hyphenation dictionary instead of the "en-gb".
It looks like this behavior matches the other browsers.
Android maps "en" to "en-gb", but because Android takes the
language from the system, it is usually more specific (i.e.,
"en-us" or "en-gb", not "en".) On the other hand, CSS
prohibits using the system language <crbug.com/676270 > that
the use of "en" is more common.

The message #14 changes the dictionary for "en" to "en-us", which hyphenates "startup" correctly.
The issue in the "en-gb" hyphenation dictionary is not addressed yet though.

I don't know whether it's advisable to default from "en" to "en-US" given the worldwide spread of GB-based English (including Australia, India, South Africa, Singapore and others) over the very regional home of US-based English (including Canada only).
Even if you suggest using en-US here, it's probably wrong because my content uses en-GB spelling. And if I set en-GB instead of en, nothing has improved for me. It might even get worse on Macs.
Anyway, it shouldn't matter which is used if "star-tup" is invalid everywhere. So if the system produces that hyphenation, *something* is broken for sure. And please don't forget "JavaScript" as well.
I don't understand the note about Android knowing a more specific language from the system. The language definition comes from the lang attribute in the HTML document. It can change to anything and is completely unrelated to the current system's locale setting. Most websites have a language selector that redirects the visitor to another language version of the site, setting another lang attribute.

Thanks for the comment.
As in thehttps://crbug.com/chromium/973102#c14 , the switch to "en-us" is done to be interoperable with Safari and Firefox. As you point out, it's not related with this issue, but we found we're not interoperable with other browsers, therefore we took the change.
As you might have figured out, the "star-tup" issue reproduces in Safari too when you set lang="en-gb". All browsers use the TeX hyphenation dictionaries:
https://www.tug.org/tex-hyphen/
or one derived from TeX. I just learned its format as part of the investigation for this issue. As far as I understood, it is an issue in the dictionary itself. So I assume it reproduces in TeX too, though I don't have environment to test it.
On the other hand, however, it does not reproduce in Firefox and hyphenator.js even when I set lang="en-gb", so I'm going to look into why the difference appear. Hopefully that can figure out the real cause of the issue.
That's where I am now, sorry for the slow steps but I hope your understanding.

Yes, I have a workaround in place for now and prevent any hyphenation around the affected words. I'm going to change the lang attribute on my website to en-GB just to be more precise about my intention. I've learned here that it can actually make a difference.

Discussed with experts. A few more findings.
* Firefox does not ship the "en-gb" dictionary, but only "en-us"[1]. That probably explains why it does not reproduce in Firefox.
* The previous test on hyphenator.js was wrong, it reproduces too.
* The "star-tup" is probably an unfortunate side-effect for "star-tling"[2].
* In general, the quality of the TeX hyphenation dictionaries outside en-us varies.
Chromium uses the system dictionaries in Android. I think the "star-tup" issue should go to Android, or to the TeX community[3].
The "JavaScript" case is on us,https://crbug.com/chromium/963039 .

Avoid auto-hyphenating capitalized words, except for German
This patch disables automatic hyphenation for capitalized
words. Originally raised to Firefox[1], CSS WG resolved[2].
The logic matches Firefox. There were some discussions about
more heuristic rules to detect proper nouns (e.g., iTunes) and
considerations for other languages than German. We can tweak
the rules as they come up.

The only time I changed the ringer volume on purpose was right after receiving my SGS5. After that I either have it on or silent. I would rather have the volume buttons control media volume on default than having to change the ringer volume just to get the volume control pop up on my screen to then tap the options icon and change the media volume by sliding it and then waiting ages for it to disappear. This is as ridiculous as the previous sentence is long. Please give us the option to change it.....

Needs to be media volume by default. I'm using a Nexus 7 2013 I don't need to change the ringer volume. At lease put an option in sound for default volume changed so that people who want ringer to adjust on volume rocker can have the ringer has default and that people who want media to adjust on volume rocker can have the media has default. Please fix this.

Which volume is controlled needs to be setting. I set my notification volume and then NEVER change it (accept to silence it, which is done automatically).

I am a huge Android fan but there is also some risk. I know somebody has to be an early adopter of any app but I'm not going to be the guy that tries out the app that has just showed up and has 1 star. For me this is a case of the Android core team just not thinking. Why would someone using a tablet want the volume to ever default to ring tone volume? Less of an issue with the notification volume but again if you are using a tablet wouldn't you be using it for media more than anything else? It is extremely easy to make the default configurable. It is pretty inconvenient to put on a video or music ... and realize that you need to lower the volume but not be able to via the volume rocker.

The auto detection of corresponding volume rocker is indeed very poor. It is a super issue in Lollipop, as there is no longer an option to silence phone from Power Button Menu. If you launch a media app, minimize it, you are stuck with a media volume rocker and can't go to a ringer rocker to enter a silent/vibrate mode. Super annoying.
Soundhud is nice and this kind of behavior should have been integrated into Android. The keylogging seems to be of no issue as this app has no access to Internet, so it can't send those data anywhere. I think.

It was annoying when I had to open and play media to turn media volume down (dumb) but now, whooooo knows?? Sometime the volume button changes media, sometimes ringtones, it's just doing what it wants. Might as well put the phone down and use it as a coaster with an unknown ringtone and media volume. It might scare the person using it when I get a call, but then again, maybe not!
You do SO MUCH right Google. So much. Why do you make me want to pour flammable liquid on my crotch area and set it alight? Why Google? Just fix this button, give us an option to tap the 'speaker' symbol and TOGGLE to media only volume button/Ringtones and done. You would have saved my genitals.

Dear Google,
Once I set the ringer volume, I don't want anybody other than me to change it the ringer volume level. Currently once I set the ringer volume, I can see that it gets changed by some other app. From this discussion thread, it seems that this may be due to the fact that I have accidentally touched the volume control buttons.
Any way, this strange behavior causes me to miss important calls (the ringer volume becomes less audible). Let me know whether you have any plans to fix this.
Thanks,
Raghu

I agree, having the volume rocker default to ringtone control is very annoying. :/ Like other users, once I set my ringtone volume I never need to change it. Like ever. 70-80% of the time, the unifiying feature does not regconize that I am in a game or trying to watch a video and I have no way to lower the/control the volume other than to back out, open settings>sound>media volume. I am one user who would like media volume to be the 100% primary use of the volume rocker. If a phone is in your pocket, the ringtone volume can be accidentally pressed all the way down to "silent" and you will miss your call. Please make modifications to this. I am sure half of the users will agree the rocker needs to have media volume priority 80% of the time. It makes music listening with headphones a pain, litterally! Sincerely, -AsianMonkeyz

I use a smartwatch, so my phone is always on silent. If I try to change the volume before my media starts, the volume rocker takes my phone off of silent. On the Samsung Galaxy S7, that means I have to go into my settings again to turn it off of vibrate (the volume rocker for some reason turns up from silent, but not down from vibrate...).
I will never need to change ring volume from the volume rocker, but I always need to change media volume, even before media is playing.

This is without a doubt the most annoying issue about Android for me. I only use my device as a media player, not a phone (and even if I didn't I'd keep it on silent all the time anyhow) so I only want the volume buttons to control media volume, NOT ringtone, NOT notifications, NOT system.
All that's needed is an option to set which type of volume the buttons control by default.

For media I need everything in between "silent" and "full volume", and quite often I need "silent" but also a loud ring-tone (e.g. for watching videos in public transport - don't want to annoy other passengers with it, but I also don't want to miss notofications/calls).
I'm pretty sure that few people need to switch the notification/ring-tone sounds to anything other than binary "on/off" or ternary "on/vibration/off", so this should simply be independent of volume control -- though on my old android phone the volume rockers *also* displayed on-screen buttons for toggling vibration-only and do-no-disturb modes. That was pretty much ideal (Except for the "rockers change ring-tone volume by default" part).

Note that this issue was marked as Obsolete a long time back, so nobody relevant is likely to see these comments. I haven't noticed an equivalent issue that's still active, so someone needs to submit a new issue report I guess.

SOLUTION!: Download "Rocker Locker" by Tom W from Google Play Store. This app is designed specifically to resolve this issue and it works great. Wish I knew about it earlier!
sv...@gmail.com
It is definitely useful, but it solves the problem by constantly playing a silent sound from the speakers, which causes a quiet hissing sound on some devices, presumably drains a bit of battery etc. A genuine fix from Google would be ideal.

This is a very annoying issue. Sure, there's a drop down that allows access to media volume, but that's a large hassle when I never, ever take my phone's ring volume off vibrate. For my use case it's a useless feature getting in the way of an incredibly important and frequently used feature. There are at least 50 thousand people who have tried an app to solve the problem, probably a lot more who would look in Android's system settings. This is an easy change, and the only negative impact is... What?

ba...@gmail.com , you can do what you want with your rockers...
I know that I most definitely do not want a ringtone to go off while I am on a bus.
I know that for the most part if I get a real call while I am watching a video, Im probably available to answer it.
I can conceive of times that I might be presenting.. using the phone to do a presentation... in that case, no notifications and full volume would be expected... but I would expect to select that from a menu because it is so rare.
If I'm already playing media... I don't want my ears to get blown out by loud ringing... the same volume as my media will be just fine because I am already listening to it.
This is so infurating because lets say I am at a theater... and well I accidently only volume down some media that is playing and a phone call comes in... I already heald the volume rocker down.. I expect it to go quiet when I hold the volume rocker down... period. I expect it to start making noise when I hold the volume rocker up.
as it currently is, it does not do that...
The other major exception is google voice... If I am freaking talking to it, it can freaking talk back to me at a similar voice as I spoke... I don't know exactly how it would know what it's volume is pushing if there are headphones or amplifiers involved... but... it should make a noise when it is starting to send data to google... otherwise I'll just always say Ok Google as I walk down the street.

Many Samsung devices have this as a default option and call it "Default Volume Key Control." Why it isn't in stock Android is beyond me.
Can Apple really patent something like this?

My ringer is constantly being turned off from accidentally pressing the volume buttons. I have never benefitted from this feature, and it has always been a nuisance.

It's not fun at all to be blasted by audio on one thing, and then have the google assistant not talk back to me.
(it doesn't even answer when the volume is up, and I never know if it works or not... but now I have to say:) OK GOOGLE, MAXIMUM VOLUME and OK GOOGLE.. and I don't know if OK google is working or not because it doesn't acknowledge me, so then I try OK Google navigate home, and sometimes it acknowledges me by saying I'm here, and sometimes it doesn't.. but it hasn't taken a voice command except for me cursing that it hasn't answered....
I always want the ringer and the media volume to be locked together.
So making an option to configure this as desired is perfect. because for some reason, other people want to control only one thing.. which I don't understand why someone would want to have ringtone be different than media volume.. because it's ok to make noise or it's not... and if you can hear one, you'd be able to hear the other... so my task is to choose the lowest volume where I can hear it comfortably.
you have blocked so many similar issues as a not fix... but I see apple phones with software updates for years.. and I'm almost ready to trade my freedom for some sanity. (and other insanity)

Ad #193: For me the separation of volumes is quite important, and I need them to change in entirely different manners.
For ring-tone, notifications and system sounds (touch-input, keyboard), I need
[a] "On, unchanging standard volume", in most situations. I want no risk of ever changing that loudness unintentionally here.
[b] "Off, with vibration", e.g. in meetings, seminars.
[c] "Off, entirely", e.g. in during a concert or movie.
Changing between such discrete states with a volume rocker is inconvenient at best.
For the media volume, I need
[a] "Off", e.g. when watching a cat-video in the tram without headphones, as I don't want to annoy the other passengers.
[b] Configurable anywhere between lowest and highest volume, depending on output device (speakers, headphones) and environment noise, e.g. for watching Videos at home with builtin speakers, or listening to music with headphones.
Most importantly, these requirements are entirely independent, e.g. when I want to have the ringtone audible but videos muted in a tram. If ring-tone and media-volume were coupled, I'd end up often accidentially leaving the ringtone volume turned down after listening to music / watching videos without sound.
As it is now, with the volume rockers defaulting to ring-tone volume and switching to media volume only when media is playing, I often accidentially turned down ringtone volume while accidentially starting a video at full volume.
Thankfully my usecase is well covered by the app "Rocker Locker", but an OS setting would be preferable and more flexible.

“Changing the volume now defaults to your media volume”
So after only four years of people asking them to restore the option they removed in KitKat, they’re not just restoring it but have actually decided it’s important enough to make the default setting. Good to hear.

Let's remember that this same topic has been marked as closed (solved) by Google a long time ago. The time it took for them to fix this is simply pathetic and really should not require a full system update that's only going to happen only in a year. Thankfully, all recent Samsung phones have had the good sense to set the volume button's function as an option.

I consider it a bug... I don't know if my moto x4 will get to android
P... but if it can get into android o I will be supper happy.. and N I will
be ecstatic. ... and if It got to ICS... I would be pee my pants happy.

Description
Using the volume buttons on the side of the phone changes the Notification/Ringer volume. Right now, with the unifying volume update, the controlled volume will be changed according to the app in use. For example, when I open the Soundcloud app and press the volume up or down buttons, the media volume is changed. On the launcher however, the rocker controls the Ringer/Notification volume. This is a neat feature, however some apps will play music in the background or when the screen is off, and if you want to change the media volume you have to unlock your phone and/or open the app to make the volume keys control the media volume. This is also a problem in games where using the volume rocker changes the Ringer volume instead of the Media volume. In games that do not change the function of the rocker, you are left with no way to change the volume of the music and sounds present in the game. I, personally, do not regularly change the volume of my ringer and I suspect many other people are having this same problem. It would be much more convenient if the user could change the default volume control and therefore save a lot of hassle.
I would like a setting to be implemented in the 'Sound' section in Settings that allows you to change the default volume control of the volume rocker. Adding a feature like this would allow Android to keep the same level of functionality and ease of use while still allowing more advanced users to customize their device and make it more productive
