    Playing music om the phone via Google Drive

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:56 AM PST

    I have a Huawei Mate 10 lite and a folder of music on Google Drive. I haven't been able to figure out how to play more than one track at a time from Google Drive with the default player on my phone. Any solutions - or should I download the music on my mobile first ... and how do i do it from Google Drive on my mobile phone?

    Problem with phone screen display

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:25 AM PST

    I'm using the Samsung Note FE (formerly known as Note 7) running on Android 9. The screen has a yellowish tint but tolerable. Lately, display turns really yellow and the colors which were pretty vivid before, become washed out. After a couple of hours, display goes back to being okay. Then becomes problematic again. This has become a cycle and it's driving me crazy! Can anyone please help me? Adaptive brightness and blue light filter are turned off.

    Samsung S9 Keyboard Autocomplete Suggestions are Grayed Out

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 10:38 AM PST

    I'm using the default keyboard on my Samsung Galaxy S9 from Verizon and the suggestions bar for autocomplete is gray instead of white like it was before making it really hard to see. I didn't change a setting, at least on purpose, and I haven't found anything about it online. If someone knows what happening I would really appreciate the help. Screenshot

    Charging LG V30 and using USB mic and Bluetooth audio device?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:37 AM PST

    I'm looking to find a way to charge my LG V30 while also having bluetooth headphones or earbuds and using an external mic setup that uses USB. I have a Focusrite Scarlett interface that I want to use on my phone, but that uses USB A. I have two USB A to USB C adapters, but that restricts charging, and I have tried wireless. And when I give up on charging, I can't use the microphone as an input and a separate device as an output. Any suggestions? I will try to describe it better if needed.

    I just got an international Galaxy A30 (SM-A305G) from Amazon and I want to root it. I need to download the latest firmware for the phone in order to do so, but what country's firmware do I choose? There is no US option. Does it matter? I am trying to find it on this site, linked from here.

    Chrome spam notifications

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:35 AM PST

    I want to start by saying I am not good with technology. But, I keep getting spam notifications on my android through chrome (a lot say that I have won money or there has been a deposit it to my bank account of ALOT of money) they are obviously fake and I don't know how to make it stop. I have downloaded an antivirus (for free) and it has reported my phone is free of viruses. I am willing to pay for one that will stop the chrome viral messages.

    Where can I start to prevent these message I know I should not open?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    Facebook not appearing in app drawer?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 10:34 AM PST

    Hello,

    I've had the same issue since I got my Blackview BV9500 Android phone where only the app Facebook doesn't appear in the app drawer when you go to the home screen or another app. If you hit the app drawer while in Facebook it also makes it disappear. It's very annoying when trying to close the app or go back to it from somewhere else.

    I've tried looking in all the settings and whatnot to see if there was like an 'auto close' or drawer hiding function but I can't seem to find anything and Google searching a solution hasn't helped. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled and everything to no avail. The Facebook Lite app works no problem in this respect, but doesn't have nearly the functionality.

    Thanks for any help!

    V50 - use fingerprint sensor to Lock screen??

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:07 AM PST

    I recently upgraded from a v30+ to a v50. On the v30 the fingerprint sensor was also the power button, so I used it to both lock and unlock the screen. Now that there's a power button on the side of the v50 I can use the fingerprint scanner unlock the phone, but not lock it. Any suggestions to use the fingerprint scanner to lock the screen?

    How can I add redirect a hostname to a specified IP address without root?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:04 AM PST

    I essentially want to achieve what the following would achieve in a HOSTS file.

    myhostnametoredirect.com 192.168.1.27 

    I've looked online and while I've found things like DNS66 which do allow for custom DNS servers and such, most things seem to be specifically about ad-blocking, whereas I'm looking to redirect a hostname to a specified IP address.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Just wondering if I actually need to pay my provider (Bell Canada) $3 extra a month for call forwarding when the feature seems to be configured in Android itself?

    SD card full only because of "Other" directory

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:38 AM PST

    Hi guys, I'm writing here since a few days ago my phone (Nokia 6 with Android 9) decided to erase all of my songs and some of my pictures that I took in those days, and despite this my SD card is now amost full and the only directory using that much space is the Other one.

    What is in there and what can I do to free space, and maybe also recover my songs and pictures that magicaly disappeared? Have they gone in that directory? I was thinking of formatting the card now that songs and pictures aren't there anymore, will it help?

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Do you want to keep showing notifications?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 09:25 AM PST

    Is there any way to turn off this stupid prompt? A lot of apps have notifications that I don't need to interact with, but I still want them. But this stupid notification keeps coming up asking me if I want to keep notifications.

    iPhone to Android (Samsung 10) Phone Questions.

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:00 PM PST

    1. As far as I know there is no FaceTime on Android phones correct? So using FaceTime with other users on iPhones will no longer be a possibility?

    2. I was looking at the App Store and there is no iTunes. So I will no longer be able to purchase music from iTunes? (I see an Apple Music: Would that work the same as iTunes on android, the same functions? Or is it strictly the Apple Music Streaming $10 a month subscription?

    3. What about transferring photos to the iMac? Before it was easy with the iPhotos recognizing the iPhone? Would the iPhoto recognize the Samsung 10? Will I be able to continue adding my pictures onto the iPhoto library or will they be transferred somewhere else entirely?

    Why don't I have any audio delay with my BT headphones in movies and music EXCEPT when I'm gaming?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:58 AM PST

    I have no issues with my Bluetooth headphones (Anker soundcore liberty neo) while listening to music or watching youtube/netflix.

    However I have a delay when I play games/play on an emulator!

    Is there a specific reason for this? And if so, could this be fixed or is it caused by the headphones?

    Issue formatting SD Card for internal storage on Nokia 6

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:37 AM PST

    Hello.

    Recently I tried upgrading my microSD card on my (unrooted) Nokia 6 running (vanilla) Android 9. Up till now I utilized a 16GB (that worked without issue) and I tried upgrading to a 128 gb one and lateron a 64 gb one. Both new SD cards have the same problem, while my old one still works fine.

    As soon as I enter one of the new micro SD cards into the phone, I get promted to format it either as internal or as transportable storage. Formatting as transportable is no issue, but formatting as internal seems problematic on both the new cards.

    The result of formatting the sd card as internal storage (as my old sd card also was formatted) is as followed:

    • The sd card is displayed normally in my storage manager with the correct storage assigned to it
    • I can move apps to and from it if I so desire, they work fine when move to it
    • Apps that previously utilized the (old) sd card to store their data on (as example: WhatsApp media) do not recognize the new card and cannot utilize it
    • Connecting the phone to windows assignes a drive letter to it (as if connecting an external CD Drive) that I cannot access
    • Trying to synchronize music with the so formatted SD card(s) does not work, as it's recognized by windows as storage.

    Again, this is contrary to the old SD card which still works fine in the same environment. If I switch it back in, everything works. Apps, transferring music, accessing files from windows, everything is right there.

    So far, I've tried the following things:

    • reformatted the SD cards multiple times, both directly from the phone, as from my Computer. The cards work fine, just not as internal Android storage.
    • cleaning data / cache of the android extrenal storage manager and the media manager. No difference afterwards.
    • "turning it on and off again"... you know.
    • changed how the phone connects to the pc back and forth.

    I've spent quite some time on google without much success, so I'd be happy if anyone here would be able to help me with the issue. As this happens with both (new) SD cards and they otherwise work perfectly fine I assume I'm either being dumb or my phone is having issues with it in one way or another. In any case, I'd be glad for any tips in regards to that. The sd cards are worthless to me if Apps cannot utilize them as storage and if I can't put music on them, naturally.

    My screen keeps tinting blue?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:04 AM PST

    I've had this problem for a while, but haven't really done anything about it. Recently it has happened more frequently and for a longer duration, so I've come here to see if anyone can help me out.

    So, I've had my phone (an LG Stylo 2) for about two years and it was a pretty cheap phone to begin with, but I haven't had many problems with it until now. Lately, at random times, my screen will turn super tinted blue and gradually fade back to the regular colors, so long as I leave my phone unlocked. This used to just happen when I would turn off my phone and then unlock the screen, but recently it has happened while I am using my phone. I will also add that I have a blue light filter on my phone, but I'm not sure if this would affect it.

    Does anyone have any idea what this might be or how I could fix it? I really don't want to have to get a new phone or spend lots of money trying to get it fixed. Thanks!

    $30 REWARD to help me use Tasker to read People Magazine by voice for a quadriplegic

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:58 PM PST

    Hi all - I am trying to setup a 17" Galaxy tablet so my quadriplegic aunt can open and read People Magazine by voice. It would mean SO much to her! She has missed reading People tremendously since her accident. Plus it would help her feel like she can do mroe.

    I've learned that Tasker plus AutoVoice and AutoInput is the best way to accomplish this. So I downloaded those but am totally overwhelmed about what to do next. I think she'd read People Magazine via a Kindle App although we could use other e-reader apps if they are better.

    If someone can walk me through this and maybe even get on the phone with me tomorrow (Saturday) or the next day (Sunday) to figure it out, I'd Venmo/Paypal you $30.

    Thank you, everyone!

    EDIT: WOW, thank you for the amazing advice and also, as someone pointed out, how crazy that nobody tried to claim the money... You are all such good people. I'll respond in greater detail in the AM--just arrived to Portland, OR, where my aunt lives. THANK YOU!

    Device indicates battery percentage wrongly: after restart i went from 90% to 79%.

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:50 AM PST

    Hey everyone, yesterday I wiped my device and installed xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 Stable ROM. And now before restarting my phone i had 90% and after i got 79%. And now the battery probably has like 85% or more, but my device shows 79%.

    I tried to charge my phone and when i did, in 10 seconds the battery went from 79 to 84 percent. This proves that device shows battery percentage incorrectly. How to fix this?

    [Help] Lost Android Device with Location Service turned off

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:46 AM PST

    As can be seen in the title, I've lost my Huawei phone. Sadly the location services are turned off so I can't find it via FindMyDevice
    or over the Huawei Cloud Service.

    What I thought of is to install an app remotely on the phone via the app store to remotely turn on Location Services. Is there any app that would work for this?

    EDIT: I've read online about an app called Plan B that allows you to activate tracking after you lost the phone but the app is from 2012.

    Or do you have any other ideas?
