Context: I'm a Master's student using a survey for my thesis. The survey however consists of quite a few open-text questions as well, to which I've received a decent amount of responses (Almost all of which are at least 2-3 lines in length). To ease up my coding process, I was going through possible alternatives to Atlas.ti (The pro version is licensed by my university to download it onto my system but I cannot access since I run Linux. For some reason their access is only a 7 day trial period on the web-app, so basically allowing people to just download the software.)

I would appreciate any help or recommendations in this regard as the alternatives I have found so far seem to be lacking in their usecases or are not compatible on Linux as well or paid. I do use R for my quant coding but I'm not sure I'm having sufficient prowess in it yet, to run the qual analysis on it as well. Or at least I think i do not lol

Hi, My Pixel 7 has run into an insane number of issues since the time I've updated the device to Android 17 and also updated to the latest security update I guess. For context:

\- My **WhatsApp notifications** do not show up anymore. Like neither calls nor texts pop up on the screen unless I explicitly have the app open in the background.

\- **Google pay** does not work properly. Half the time the NFC doesn't get recognised with the card reader and even after I try to open the app to pay, it more often than not shows me that there are no cards available to pay (And that I should add some cards)

\- My **battery is draining** extremely fast and is charging at almost 1% for like every 5-6 minutes if I am lucky that is.

\- My **banking application** logged me out and I cannot log back in, as it constantly shows that the login fails (Even though I have tried to log in using the same credentials on my web browser on the phone, the browser on my laptop and even the same application on my girlfriend's phone and was successful on all those occasions so clearly not a bank-related issue)

Apart from all these, the phone itself feels quite choppy and lagging, almost as if the performance has been manipulated with.

# Technical context:

\- Android Version : 17

\- Phone model : Pixel 7

\- Google play and Security Versions : July, 2026

Anyone else facing similar situations? I would be really grateful if someone can provide any sort of suggestions or support!! Thank you!

Key points:

• Approved by the Ethics Review Board of the Saarland University, Germany
• Anonymous survey
• Takes 10-15 minutes approximately
• No form of PII is collected
• Data is used for research purposes only

You can participate in the survey using the link given below:

I'd also really appreciate it if you could share it with your Indian friends, family or colleagues. I certainly believe that gathering the views from the academic community and its opinions on such a key yet sensitive topic can increase the validity of my study and thereby help improve my qualifications for applying to a PhD position.

Feel free to contact me for any queries/feedback. Thank you for your support!
