    Android Questions: Phone very slow after last OS update.

    Android Questions: Phone very slow after last OS update.


    Phone very slow after last OS update.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:23 AM PST

    Like the tile says. Right after the latest update I noticed that my phone run very slow... Needing some 3-4 seconds to open Reddit, for example, when it would be instantaneous before the update.

    There's now a PERMANENT notification that is just tips from 'Android System' like "Try a new easy way to launch Google Assistant"

    There's now 3 half-downloaded apps on the last page of my menu. All of them called 'Google System' and when I click on them, it takes me to Google Play, but it says Item not found.

    I've had this phone for 22 months now, and never had a problem. All this has made me remember when they said that phone developers would purposely slow down older models just to push people to buy new ones.

    Has anyone got the same problems? Maybe someone knows if it's me doing something wrong and how to fix it?

    Thanks for reading this far :)

    In the YouTube app, how do you disable auto-playing thumbnail previews?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:56 AM PST

    The option used to be in settings > autoplay, but I got a new phone and it's not there anymore.

    Phone calls not showing up

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:58 AM PST

    I was hoping I could get some help here as I've looked online but no one seems to have my specific problem. Whenever I am in a call and another call comes in, the incoming call get automatically rejected and does not even show up in notifications. The only way I would know about it is if they call me after I end my current call or they leave voicemail. Would anyone know why this is happening?

    Uninstalling corrupted SD app?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:42 AM PST

    So to make some save on my LG V40 thinq I moved some bigger apps to an sd card. Well I was moving some files around using the card and it became corrupted. So now all app data appears to be gone. The app icons are in my list, but obviously can't be opened. Long press and uninstall tells me the app isn't there to uninstall. Long press then info only closes the long press box. They're not in settings -> app info. In the play store if I try to redownload it, it'll download fine but immediately have an error on install. I went to file manager -> android -> data but there's no files related to the apps. Anything else I can try?

    Does the s10+ really not have a video timer?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:09 PM PST

    So far, ive only been able to set a video timer by going to the "AR Emoji" portion of the camera, which then disables other features id like to use. This is such a simple feature ive got to be missing something right?

    How do you stop podcasts from appearing in your music library?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 11:35 AM PST

    I have tried multiple music players and have yet to find one that does not list my podcasts along with the rest of my music library. I download and listen to podcasts using a seperate app and they are in a folder seperate from my music. Currently I'm using Shuttle music player. I'm a recent convert from iOS so feel free to ELI5.

    Any way to disable/move the Emergency button from the Power Button flyout in Android 10?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 11:33 AM PST

    Photo of the flyout and Emergency button

    My Nokia 6.1 just upgraded to Android 10 yesterday, and one of the new features is the Emergency button right below the Screenshot button when you long-press the Power Button on the side.

    Is there anyway to remove that Emergency button, or at least move it to the top of the flyout? It seems a pretty poor design decision to put it right where your muscle memory for the commonly-used screenshot button is/was. I note some previous users have asked for a solution to this, but all met with silence.

    App got added to task bar.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 02:46 AM PST

    Idk how it happened but my Reddit app got added to my task bar right next to my back button. How do I remove this? I can't seem to figure it out. I have a Galaxy S8.

    Edit: clicking on Reddit (the one on the task bar) doesn't even do anything. Won't open it or nothing. I've tried long press on it and still got nothing.

    Problem with Eduroam

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:19 AM PST

    Hello,

    I just updated my Mi 9 to the latest version of the xiaomi.eu that I am using. Before the update I was able to use eduroam of my university without a problem. But now I am not able to connect to it anymore. It seems like this is a known problem which affects all Xiaomi devices and Nokia devices.

    While trying to re-setup eduroam I realised that my phone does NOT save the Phase 2 authentication (while using EAP/TTLS). I assume that this might be the culprit? I try to modify my network settings, set Phase2Auth, I save the settings, I immediately open them again (without attempting to connect again) and now Phase2Auth is set to None.

    My phone is rooted and I also looked at logcat. I see an error, which MIGHT be interesting:

    mm-dd hh:mm:ss.msmsms x y E WifiVendorHal: flushRingBufferData(l.24) failed {.code = ERROR_UNKNOWN, .description = } mm-dd hh:mm:ss.msmsms x y W WifiDiags: could not flush ringbuffer 

    Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be? I hope the answer is not "wait for an update of your ROM" or something similar, but I assume this might be the only option for me right now. Otherwise I would feel comfortable with editing config files by hand or whatever might be required.

    Esc key on bluetooth keyboard

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:40 AM PST

    Dear all,

    I am using a keyboard cover in combination with a Samsung tablet. As you will no doubt be familiar with, the top row of keys (Esc-F1-F12-Del) have special Fn bindings, which are default, and in order to get the regular key, you have to do Fn+Key. For example, in order to Del, I have to do Fn+Del, as the other binding is "lock screen".

    My issue now is the following: The "alternative" binding of the Esc key is Home. Which is fine and good - except that when I do Fn+Esc, it still does Home. I've tried a good number of different combinations, Alt+Esc, Ctrl+Esc, Fn+Shift+Esc - all of them do Home instead of Esc.

    I'm pretty lost at this point, and hope you can direct me in the right direction, as I really need an Esc key. Thank you very much.

    Any Way to Bypass FRP?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 10:21 AM PST

    My gmail account associated with my Galaxy S7 were hacked, and he somehow reset my phone to factory defaults. Now I'm stuck on the FRP lock screen, which is asking me to log in to my Gmail account, which I no longer have access to. And I can't reset my Gmail password, because I need phone verification to do that, which I need my gmail to gain access to. Is it really not possible to bypass this anymore?

    Video freezes but sound keeps playing.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 10:06 AM PST

    So recently I was using a separate app than the stock camera app to record a video... The video is ~3 minute long, but it freezes around the 1 minute mark, however, you can still hear the audio all the way through. To make it more clear, it gets stuck on a frame, then continues the audio. I'm not exactly sure if there is a fix for this AFTER I already recorded the video, but if you know of one please let me know, the video is very important to me and I made a mistake using a third party camera app.

    Lost test conversations after roaming internationally

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:53 AM PST

    I went to Mexico last week and while roaming I noticed that whenever I would text someone the number in Textra changed and was now preceded with a 01 and the conversation history with that contact had disappeared. I lost years worth of texts with my gf. Is there any way to get them back?

    Anyone who was in my conversation history but I did not text while down there was unaffected.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 03:49 AM PST

    I'm using Nubia N1 NX541J(ZTE) my phone works perfectly fine there is no issues with it but as soon as I install Instagram My phone misbehaves . When the power button is pressed it will turn the screen off but when I wake my phone up it just shows my home screen . The phone restarts and gets stuck after the boot logo,I have to long press the power button and force shut it down and then restart again to go back into my phone. As soon as I open Instagram again this issue repeats(I can confirm this issue is due to Instagram,I uninstalled the app for a week and my phone worked extremely fine).I'm not in the financial status to buy a new phone and I have a business page on Instagram. Please suggest a fix

    .apk will not install on Android 7, but will install on 8 and 9

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:22 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    Hopefully y'all can help with this issue. I am the MDM technician at my job and was sent a new .apk for our Android Tab E tablets. I can install it on Tab A (android vrsn 8 or 9) but not the Tab E (vrsn 7) tablets. The developer has said they installed it on a ZTE running on Android 6, so I SHOULD be able to install it on all other versions, right? I also cannot install it on my own ZTE tablet.

    Specifically, I get "There was a problem parsing the package" when trying to install the apk. I have uninstalled the MDM software, and there is no antivirus installed. Unknown sources is toggled, and so is usb debugging. I'm installing via cable to PC, but I also tried other ways. Like I said before, it installs on Android 8 and 9 with no problem.

    I can't seem to figure this out for the life of me. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

    Download not working

    Posted: 23 Jan 2020 11:34 PM PST

    So I downloaded an image via Google image search. My Files (storage and SD card) Gallery, and Storage via Settings.

    They all claim the file is nonexistent, yet every time I download it, Download Manager adds (dash [number one higher than the previous] to the end of the file name, according to Download Manager I have seven duplicate files, yet all other involved phone systems act as if the file is nonexistent.

    I search the file name and I get no results. When I tap the message saying the download is complete I go to gallery and see the image, if I close gallery and reopen it the image isn't there.

    So I want to extract a song from a game but when converting it as a zip file and opening it, i found the ''res'' file. Sadly, I didn't find anything, only XML documents. Is there a reason why? The game is called ''Sound Shooting!!''

    Mainboard change issue

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 02:52 AM PST

    Hey,

    I tried changing the mainboard on my galaxy s6 (G920F) I ordered a Verizon model but as I am not using mobile data & telephone it shouldnt be an issue. I hooked up the new mainboard to the charging board that to the screen and then put it in the midframe to test it on wallpower. It boots, however then the phone restarts randomly every 20-30 seconds. Any idea why? I already tried hard resetting. The mainboard seller said the mainboards were 100% working and tested. I am physically in Europe, is that an issue? Videos showing the issue --> https://we.tl/t-QwqNbkjYX8 Thanks (Can provide additional info if needed)
