    Android Questions: Disabling ALL(even system services) data except for a single app, is it possible?


    Disabling ALL(even system services) data except for a single app, is it possible?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:38 AM PST

    I had an idea for a IOT project where I use an old android device to monitor if its charging. If it stops charging I would want it to send out a notification that power is out in the house. I am looking at an IOT sim card, if power is out so is the router so I can't use that.

    They are very cheap but charge like .07 cents by the megabyte. Is there anyway to disable ALL Data even system services but allow a single app through?

    Looking to sell my phone. Is encryption safe enough?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:50 PM PST

    Might be paranoia, but I'm worried that a forensic analysis by someone malicious could reveal details such as my bank account data or my personal files. How safe is FBE encryption on Android 10? Do the encryption keys get completely WIPED to irrecoverable state after a factory reset? Will rooting&using disk digger reveal more data? Can personal data slip into the inaccessible (without root) system partition? I'm very confused about it all.

    How can I access recent apps on a Galaxy phone?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 05:43 AM PST

    I currently own a Samsung Galaxy A70 running Android 9 and one ui. It's not rooted if that matters. Anyway, I would like to see what was the last app that opened ( in the background also). How can I access this?

    Hypothetical: if your phone prompt sign in is your access to all your devices, what happens if you lose your phone or your number changes?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:32 PM PST

    If you lose your phone, you can't get into your other stuff, obviously. If you get a new phone, you can't just sign in to it, because it's a new device even when the number is the same. How would this be resolved?

    If your number changes, you can't add the new number previous to its activation. You lose the old one, so you can't verify the new one via the prompt on the old one. How does this get resolved?

    I was just thinking about how stuff works in the event of worst case issues.

    Hisense A5- No Google services

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:30 PM PST

    Hey folks,

    I'm considering a Hisense A5 for the eink screen, but it doesn't have Google Services and while you can sideload the play store etc. apparently sign-in is blocked.

    Does anyone know of any third party app that will sync contacts and calendar back to Google not via Google Services? My googling just gets me information on privacy and turning off tracking, so I'm doing something wrong.

    Google Assistant

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:28 PM PST

    Hey everyone. On my Nokia 6.1 with Android 10, the Google Assistant app keeps disabling itself within an hour or so of it being enabled manually. Anyone know why it's disabling itself? Thanks for the help.

    My video playback is laggy and I have no sound.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:24 AM PST

    I recently installed a new OS (specifically Lineage OS) on my Pocophone F1 and everything worked fine. Until, I noticed that video playback on the entire device - photos app, YouTube, web browser, Messenger was freezing and there was no sound. Anyone know a fix to this? This seems to be happening to not only Lineage but to other operating systems too and I found nothing that helped.

    Upgraded Tab S to Marshmallow, now clicks don't register where they're supposed to half the time

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:43 PM PST

    I have a wifi only Galaxy Tab S (SM T-800). I had it on Kit-Kat, life was great but of course that was dropped by just about everything I used. So I had to upgrade it to the most recent thing it was supported by, which is 6.01, Marshmallow. But now, especially on online forums, whenever I click on a link, it never loads what was clicked on. It will pick some random other page. It looks like the page has stopped loading, and the link even lights up like it was selected, but then some other page appears. I never had this problem before the upgrade. It does this to a somewhat lesser extent on a device I have that runs Oreo, but on the tablet it is almost unbearable. Can anything be done?

    Portrait Lock

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:33 PM PST

    Anyone know of a way to lock the home screen(s) to portrait mode but still allow rotation on other screens (i.e. When viewing photos or videos).

    Currently seems that I can either lock portrait mode for EVERYTHING or ALL screens rotate. No middle ground.

    Ideally I'd prefer to do this without need of an app but if I need one then so be it.

    If it helps my phone is a Moto G5s Plus, fully updated and running Nova Launcher.

    Thanks.

    How do I set my home touch buttons to dark mode in Firefox?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:21 PM PST

    I have an Lg G8 with Videotron, and I use Nova launcher, and almost all my phone is black amoled backgrounds and in night/dark mode, except in Firefox. When in Firefox, even with a dark theme and dark viewer, my home touch buttons continue to have a white background instead of black like everywhere else on my phone. Can I set dark mode on my home touch buttons specifically on certain apps?

    Native screen recorder Android 9

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:50 AM PST

    Hi all The screen recorder tile on my navigation panel shows switched on ( blue, as compared to other greyed out items on the panel) when I switch on the phone, stays like that for a couple seconds, then greys out. This is highly disconcerting. Can anyone suggest how to turn off the recorder? Or at least what might be going on? I booted the phone in safe mode too.

    Thanks in advance

    Will i be able to do Astrophotography shots with the S20/+ (not Ultra)

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:36 AM PST

    So my phone is now 4 years old and its slow as hell and only 8 gb, i need to constantly delete apps and stuff. So i will buy a new phone soon, idk if i should go for the S20/+ or the Iphone 11 Pro/Max. From the Pics i have seen the Iphone can shoot pretty great pics of stars and stuff, would the S20 be better since it has a better camera? but can it also do long exposure shots like the iphone of 30 sec or hell maybe even Star Trails? I have heard of smth called gcam, where you port the software of the pixel into your phone or smth like that, is this actually usable? And how long would it take for a gcam port to appear for the S20...i am sorry for all these noob questions but i am 15 and i was tbh very disconnected from all the new phones and their news that appeared, because i didnt care but now my father is offering to buy me a new expensive phone since my Samsung J3 is old, doesnt have space, and bad performance....thx.

    As fpr phone viruses, the opinions on this subreddit are completely different from some forums. Why?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:34 AM PST

    As the title suggests, I've noticed that the opinions on the topic "phone viruses and malware" are completely different on that subreddit compared to some other forums. Why is that?

    What is 'digital wellbeing' and how did it get on my phone?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 03:25 AM PST

    I am using an LG V30+ running Android 9

    I didn't install it, and yet here it is. I could uninstall it, but I'd also like to prevent installation of apps except those I've explicitly decided to install on my phone.

    Did this install itself, or has it always been on there and I didn't notice it until now when it asked to update?

    My phone is freaking out

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 10:29 AM PST

    I have no idea what's going on. My note 9 keeps opening chrome to weird pages. Sometimes it loads as an ad page first then goes to some random page. So I'm thinking malware. But I havent downloaded anything in a while and it started happening yesterday. Tried clearing history and cache. Tried cleaning my phone.

    Any ideas or help will be great. Thank you

    Can you Move appdata to an SD card?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 06:39 AM PST

    I just downloaded a game that downloaded a ton of data, and even though I moved the app to the SD card the data is still in my internal storage and taking up the majority of the space. I have a ton of free space on my SD card but almost none in internal, what can I do?

    Phone won't vibrate

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 10:09 AM PST

    Hey there, my galaxy J7 had stopped to vibrate altogether, not when I'm getting called, not when an alarm is on, nothing. I'm not sure how long it is by now, but I don't think I did something to do it.

    Any idea why did it happen or how to fix it?

    Cannot install apks from the browser directly

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:51 AM PST

    Hello,

    I own Huawei mate 20x, and I use Firefox as my main browser. Previously, on emui 9 I was able to download an app from any website and normally install it by tapping on the notification bar when it completes. However, since I have upgraded to emui 10, when downloading an apk through Firefox and tapping on it (as I used to do before) I get lots of options to open the app with, but no package installing option. I have tried downloading from chrome and it works fine, I can normally install any app by tapping on it. Currently, for Firefox I have to choose to open file manager and install it from there.

    I have recently contacted Huawei support and was instructed to clear cache partition, but nothing changed, they said it might be a bug in the software, but I don't think so, because on my other phone which runs emui10 the problem doesn't seem to appear there.

    If you have any solution please help.

    P.S I tried installing and uninstalling the app it didn't work

    Editing an app to remove a text popup.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:08 AM PST

    I am using an app that requires me to login and if a certain condition is not met, it will pop up with a message.

    There is two apps, the one with the content and the one with the login activity.

    The login app displays a pop up message that doesn't allow me to use the app after logging in.
