I have downloaded a few extra Adblock apps, but nothing is working! I have had about 10 ads in just a few hours. Please, what can I do?

    Locate found samsung smartphone

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 11:39 AM PST

    Hi, some friends and me organized a party yesterday. We've found a Samsung smartphone someone lost. Since there is no pressence of the party in the internet (and the locations owners are on vacation right now), we can't just post it somewhere. The phone is fingerprint locked and set to quiet so even answering a call is allmost impossible. Is it possible to get some sort of information about the owner to return it out of the phone and how? A number out of the telephone book, the google play account or something? I hope, you can help us out there!

    I don't even know, which phone it is, glass back, chin fingerprint sensor, singular rectangular camera sensor with one Flash, usb c, headphone jack. Just a samsung "logo" on the back

    Recovering Un-inventoried Phones

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 10:18 AM PST

    Hi Folks - I've been taken on as IT support for a company that had a few cellphones that were not documented/inventoried. For the ones that have crossed my desk that are functional, I've grabbed what information I can, but I'm left with a series of devices (different models/carriers) that were factory reset, and had the SIMs removed before I arrived.

    The 'Verify your account' message has got me stymied as I don't know what email address they were associated with, and, with their SIMs being removed, I also don't know what phone numbers they were paired with.

    There is a MDM solution in place, but, again, it looks like these remaining devices weren't enrolled.

    Is anyone aware of a method to recover the linked email address for a phone, or any way to recover its use other than flashing it?

    Remote controlled tasker/autoinput actions

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 11:57 AM PST

    Before I invest the money in to the tasker app I wanted to see if anyone could advise if it was possible to get the app to carry out a series of button presses on an app triggered by a bluetooth remote. I understand that the autoinput plugin for tasker will allow me to simulate button presses on an app but is it easy to trigger this action with a bluetooth remote ? Also does anyone know if autoinput is specific to tasker or can it be obtained by itself ?

    Why is my Bluetooth FM transmitter not automatically connecting to my phone?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 09:04 AM PST

    I have a Scosche Buetooth FM Transmitter and a Moto G7 Power. When I put the transmitter in the 12v outlet to power it on, my phone does not automatically connect to it. I have to go to previously connected devices and connect it manually. Both of the three other phones I used this transmitter with connected automatically. Unpairing and re-pairing the divice and phone did not fix the problem. The phone does automatically connect to my Damson Cizor speaker at home. This is mega annoying because if the transmitter os jostled, my music won't start again and my Android Auto app quits.

    Edit: After some googling, turning off Bluetooth scanning solved the problem.

    Bootlooping whenever phone is unplugged from charger

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 08:21 AM PST

    I have a oneplus one running on lineage os 16. Until last week my battery life was giving me about 16 hours when full but since 2 days ago it would always bootloop when it's not plugged in to the charger.

    The twrp recovery works without being connected to the charger though.

    So am I having a bad battery or something else? Already tried a factory restore from twrp and flashed a newer version of the rom but the problem persist

    Does anyone know about any ROM suitable for my BQ?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 01:59 AM PST

    Hello, everyone.

    Well, I bought a BQ Aquaris V almost a year ago, and I thought that it will support Android 9 or even Android 10. But reality is it's stuck with Android 8.1 with no support for newer Android versions (it even doesn't support Treble). And I don't want to buy another smartphone just because of that.

    I was looking for ROMs for my device to enjoy a better support or more advantages from newer Android-like versions, but unfortunately I can't find any information.

    I've never rooted a smartphone or installed another ROM before either.

    Annoyed by transferring files to SD card, wondering if this Ethernet adapter might be better

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 07:52 AM PST

    I've been connecting my Galaxy S9+ to my PC and copying files to the SD card.

    It was working fine until yesterday. I copied multiple files. After the transfer, I opened the SD card folder from the PC. The files were all there. Later, when I opened the folder from the phone, the files were gone.

    This is somewhat puzzling because it worked properly before. The SD card is brand new.

    At any rate, I have a QNAP NAS that I could copy these files from but it can be a very slow process over wifi. I'm wondering if an USB-C to Ethernet adapter like the one pictured here ...

    https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ethernet-Portable-1-Gigabit-Chromebook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E

    ... would speed up the file copy process if I wanted to copy files from the NAS to my phone by plugging into the router.

    Axon 7 Mini Battery Drain Issue?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 06:54 AM PST

    Let me first say that this thread is eerily similar to my issue, with a nearly identical phone, but it seems like he deleted his images so I can't do a full comparison. I know a couple of responses there said it's the battery, which I don't doubt could be the issue, but I'd like to explain my situation before accepting the same explanation.

    With that out of the way, my Axon 7 Mini seems to eat through battery life, losing about 50-60% overnight for the past 2 days. I really only notice it when I wake up, but as I'll explain later, it seems to happen to a even when I'm using the phone, but I haven't felt like it's been draining faster than usual in those situations. I'm going to (try to) set aside the phone for an hour or two to see if 'triggers' again.

    When I looked at the battery usage, I noticed the following and compared it to another phone (funnily enough, a regular Axon 7) to see if it was odd or not:

    • "Wake up" as a source of battery use was a solid bar from midnight to the point where I restarted the phone (about an hour ago) to see if that changed anything. Upon restarting, "Wake up" has not been used since except for a tiny blip at the start of the phone turning on again. I turned off WiFi originally thinking it might have been doing something, but I turned it on briefly around 1 and used it for about 10 minutes, meaning the "Wake up" thing seems independent of me actually using the phone.
    • "Hardware usage" took 50%, with Screen using 47%, Standby using 2% and RF Signal using 1%. Other phone was 85%, 26%, 22%, 21% for the same things, with Wi-Fi using the remaining 16%.
    • "App usage" is perhaps the strangest of all. For some reason, "Android System" and "Android Service" are using 26% and 17% respectively. The other phone is using 2% for both.

    So to me, it seems like there's something either with the OS or an Android app secretly using up a ton of power on my phone, and prefers to do it at night, rather than it being a battery issue. I'm hoping the restart fixed it, and if it does, great. But i'm still curious as to what caused/is causing it regardless...

    Screenshots can be provided if needed.

    I have no spell checker. Where can I download one?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 06:31 AM PST

    I have a Sony Xperia X Compact with stock Sony Android 8.0.0.
    Here is an image of my issue: https://i.imgur.com/UWvRgRo.jpg

    I've done a google search trying to look for a spell checker, but all I can find are tutorials on how to enable a spell checker. I don't have one to enable, it's blank and I have no options to choose from.
    Where can I get Google Spell Checker or Android Spell Checker (AOSP)?

    I want it for when I use WhatsApp, so I can see my spelling mistakes appear with red underlines as I type.

    Thanks.

    Notifications not appearing or appearing late. (Motorola Moto G8 Plus, Android 9)

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 06:24 AM PST

    I've just switched to a new phone, and half of the time I won't get any notifications when I get a message. Sometimes I will get one 5-10 min late. Moreover, when I'm using my phone, they just appear as an icon, there's no drop down that previews my message until I manually drag down the menu.

    Does anyone know what to do? I've checked the settings, but everything seems fine

    Galaxy S7 not receiving group texts, and will not allow me to send images in texts after leaving the country for two weeks?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 06:01 AM PST

    Hi there. I was out of the US for two weeks, and to avoid any unexpected international charges, I turned mobile data off and turned airplane mode on the entire time I was out. When I returned to the US, I switched everything back to normal settings, but have not been able to receive any group texts, and when I attempt to send image attachments in my texts it won't allow me.

    I primarily use Texta (paid version), so I opened the standard messaging app on the S7, but it won't even allow me to tap the "Enter message" line.

    My device is relatively new - it's a refurbished model that I received about 2 months ago and has had zero problems until now.

    Anyone know what's up? Thanks.

    My keyboard isn't pushing up the text bar when I try to type on it.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2019 07:10 PM PST

    So everything disappears behind the keyboard. It's like this on the Reddit app, Instacart and anything else I seem to try.

    I'm using gboard.

    Is there a fix to this? Google is bringing up a bunch of app developer related answers which don't apply to my situation as a non app developer.

    I'm using a motorola power g7 and android 9.

    Do all tempered glass protectors have overhang/reverse chamfers or am I just really unlucky?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 05:41 AM PST

    Visual explanation of my question: https://i.imgur.com/Prl8QYm.jpg

    With my current Xiaomi, previous Xiaomi and Samsung before that, I've always opted for tempered glass screen protectors over plastic simply because I like the feel of them.. so this isn't a question of which one is better.

    Without fail though, every one that I have received, both cheap and more expensive versions always seem to have some overhang at the edge where I can get my fingernail under, on all sides. The description on the sale pages often mentions a 2.5D radius edge (as shown in the picture) which smooths it out to blend in with the screen itself, but it always feels like the ones I receive are 'upside down' due to how much it sticks out.

    Is this normal design? Because I've once again chipped the edge of my protector with a minor knock. Not dropped, nor did I drop anything on top of it.. just bumped it with the TV remote causing a 6mm wide chip down the edge and hairline crack laterally across the phone.

    Location Services Don't Work

    Posted: 20 Nov 2019 04:41 AM PST

    To start, I play games on my phone, so I tried to download Minecraft Earth on my phone, an HTC 10, which came out in 2016. When I searched "Minecraft" or "Minecraft Earth" on google play, only Minecraft came up, not Minecraft earth. I don't understand this so I decided to go deeper. I went onto my laptop and found the Minecraft Earth website and found the google play link. It was there, but it said my phone was incompatible because "Your phone is not available in this region" which makes no sense because I live in the US, where it was released last week and my dad's phone popped up and said it worked on his phone. Any ideas as to what caused this and how to fix, if any?

    Is there a way to make your phone get info from different networks depending on what it is looking for?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2019 08:03 PM PST

    Here's my predicament; I have a DJI Phantom 3 Standard, and the phone connects to the remote via WiFi (it's USB on the newer ones) but because it's WiFi it chops of the other WiFi networks as well as cellular. Both DJI Go and Litchi don't have a option to download offline maps (DJI Go 4 does, but it only works with Phantom 4 and newer and won't download satellite view) so if I want to use maps I can run the app and cache them, but it doesn't always work and sometimes deletes them if I try to get too much.

    If there was a way to make my phone go for WiFi for most things and cellular for maps.google.com or whatever it needs to be, then I could get around the problem. But then I couldn't get maps on my tablet, because it is only WiFi and AFAIK you can't connect to 2 WiFi networks. Maybe if there was some sort of unit that will merge networks and split the traffic accordingly?? Like a Arduino/Raspberry Pi based unit that runs some sort traffic sorting software. Maybe there's a way, and maybe not. But if you have any ideas, I'm open to try.
