    Android 10: With greenify being obsolete - How to prevent apps that I rarely use to automatically run actions based on events?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 01:56 AM PST

    XDA and Reddit tells me that greenify is obsolete at maybe even counter productive in Android 10 (and most like since previous Android versions). Alright I can live with that.

    How ever, since I didn't install greenify on my Pixel 4, I notice how all my installed apps are running in the backround because e.g. when connecting my bluetooth headphones or connecting my car via bluetooth, VLC will run "scanning for media" or sygic navigation tries to "scanning for smartlink" or whatever.

    This is annoying because:

    1. I don't need it
    2. I rarely use this apps

    So without greenify, is there any other way to stop those apps from doing that? Probably only by disabling them and manually enabling them when I actually need them?

    Gallery go by google, how is is it so smart?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 07:29 AM PST

    Gallery go app by application is surprisingly very small in size and yet can accurately group faces of different people, animals, food etc. And the most surprising thing of all is that it doesn't use any internet. How is that possible? This is way too strange. Can it be secretly querying with google services or something else?

    How do I get Imgur links to open in Chrome instead of in the Imgur app?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 12:18 PM PST

    Basically, I want to only use the Imgur app to upload photos, and just use Chrome for the few-and-far-between occasions that I'd want to view something on Imgur (for instance, to get a direct link to the image). Issue is, all Imgur links always opens up in the Imgur app instead of Chrome. I've checked through the settings, but I can't for the life of me find where to change it (that being said, I'm absolutely terrible at finding things in lists, so apologies if it's really obvious lmao).

    I've got an unlocked Note 9 with T-Mobile, on Android version 9, using Nova Launcher.

    Anyone know how to copy encrypted internal storage from the device while it's still encrypted (OnePlus 5T, TWRP 3.2.1-2)?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 11:44 AM PST

    I managed to screw up so TWRP will not accept my PIN despite restoring everything else.

    I tried to restore \data but i keep getting the "extracttarfork() process ended with error=255" issue whenever i try.

    Anyone able to help?

    • TWRP 3.2.1-2

    edit: got the log file if anyone needs it.

    Can you change the look of the pull down menu?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 10:58 AM PST

    I do not need help changing the quick settings icons. I was wondering if you could change the look of it. For example from Samsung's blue and green on their older phones to something more modern.

    How to completely reset a phone for resale?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 09:50 AM PST

    My grandfather passed last month. One thing we'd like to do is sell his phone since it's no longer needed. I had imagined doing a hard reset of it would be enough, but on the initial setup, it still asks about the previous e-mail. While I do know he had a yahoo account, I don't have any information on what his google account may have been. Is there a more thorough way to reset the phone specifically so I can resell it? The SIM card has been removed already.

    It's a Samsung J7

    Screen Glitch on S10+

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 09:50 AM PST

    Alright everyone, I am almost to my wits end on this little adventure. Last night my phone started having this super white bar in the bottom portion of the screen (only around where the navigation "buttons" are). It's brighter than my flashlight and I feel like it is making my screen less responsive but I could be imagining that.

    The phone is an S10+ running the latest available version of android 10 for US Cellular users. I had been using Nova launcher and some slight mods in that bit I have uninstalled that in an attempt to trouble shoot.

    It started last night when I was shoveling. It is like a strobe light when charging (always on display enabled) but when the phone is asleep or off the light is gone.

    I've tried restarting the phone. I've tried wiping the cache. I've tried booting into safe mode. Is there anything else a not-terribly-tech-literate curmudgeon like myself can try?

    Sorry to ask this question as someone who has never participated in this community before but I only just found it. And honestly i don't think i would have much to add. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

    USB connection issues

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 09:32 AM PST

    Hi, I've been having trouble connecting my phone via USB to my stereo and was told I need to have my USB settings on MTP. I have an S8 and android 9 and cant find this option. I've had my phone on Transfer Files mode and still no results. Just recently I discovered the *#0808# method in the dialpad, but for me MTP was already selected. Did I just enable it? How does any of this work? Any help appreciated.

    Facebook Messenger not getting game notifications

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 08:38 AM PST

    This is kinda dumb but I've been trying to play some of those games that are built into FB Messenger (specifically Draw Something) but whenever someone takes a turn and then it's my turn, it puts a message in the chat saying so but I don't get a notification, I have to check the chat manually. All other messages come through, and I've checked that the "Receive Messages" is ticked, and in my Android notification settings for Messenger, everything is turned on. But still no game notifications. I even cleared data from Messenger and re-signed in but it still doesn't work.

    Any ideas?

    Issues Downloading Google Camera

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:53 PM PST

    I'm trying to download the Google Camera app on my Motorola G7 phone - I can download the file and start the installation process but it fails everytime. I have enabled installing unknown apps so that shouldn't be the issue. I've downloaded a bunch of different versions and none of them work, all failing the same way. Any other ideas to try?

    Colour inversion on specific apps

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 07:52 AM PST

    I have an Android Oreo smartphone and it doesn't have dark mode. However I can toggle the negative colour accessibility features to turn the white system apps dark. Is there an app (that doesn't require adb) which will toggle this feature on in specific apps and turn it off when I leave it?

    Screen Mirroring to Windows 10 when I can't see my Android screen?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 05:47 AM PST

    I just broke the screen on my current phone and want to do a factory reset on it before I get a new one - force of habit thing. Thing is, I can't set up screen mirroring to my laptop without actually doing stuff in the settings of the phone first. Is there no way I can just do it on the laptop, through plugging it in with a USB or something?
