    Android Questions: How to stop my phone connecting to wifi networks?


    How to stop my phone connecting to wifi networks?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:27 AM PST

    I've been having this issue only recently. In public places, my phone is auto connecting to wifi networks that I have never asked it to connect to before, and I cannot tell it to 'forget' these networks or not to connect to them. It's happening constantly, I am trying to connect to websites and instead i'm getting redirected to sign in pages for wifi networks that I never asked for and don't want. I don't want to have to keep turning my wifi off and on I just want my phone to not connect to networks by itself . any idea why it is doing this and how to stop it? it's a samsung galaxy A40.

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to change screen pinning unlock buttons to volume buttons? android pie

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:26 AM PST

    I'm talking about the thing that doesn't let you change from the app you pinned unless you hold back+recents at the same time.

    I installed FNG and removed the navigation bar so I can get more screen estate, anything I can do?

    How do I sync a secondary phone with a primary phone: 1-way app sync

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:08 AM PST

    The goal is to ensure that the secondary phone has the same apps (some of which don't exists on play store) as the primary phone. The ideal way would be to sync the apk files and then install them automatically when there's an update. What are my options?

    My volume is kind of broken

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:31 AM PST

    Sometimes I'll be listening to Spotify with my earbuds and it's all good and great and it warns me about going too loud sometimes and when I get it to about half way it's on the loud side. Then like the next day I could do it and the volume at half is quite soft. I have to turn the volume up all the way.

    I'm on a Google pixel 2 running the latest update thing

    Most of the time the volume warning doesn't come up (with doesn't bother me but I thought I should mention it)

    How can I fix this so the volume stays the same all the time? So medium is good enough and loud is almost too loud? Rather than loud being soft?

    I tried custom launchers in a different context once but I didn't like any. Can this be achieved with the native launcher?

    Pixel 1 stuck in boot loop, anyone want to help this n00b out with trying to fix it?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:48 AM PST

    So I'm following This guide because I've got nothing to lose, really. I don't live in the states so that limits a lot of options, and there's no mail service where I live so I can't ship it anywhere (it's not under warranty as is)

    I have the device in safe mode and attached to my laptop, it's showing in the device manager with a subheader of Android Bootloader Interface.

    the bottom of the safemode screen tells me my phone is LOCKED but I bought it direct from Google so I know it's not a Verison type. (Just a heads up, choosing any option other than power off causes the boot loop to start again so I cannot get to recovery mode and wipe the device as is suggested elsewhere)

    My issue right now is when trying to follow this portion of the guide I put in the command in command prompt asking for the adb version and it doesn't recognize it as a command-- what did I do wrong? I restarted my computer after making c:\adb, unzipped all files TO there, and yet it's not working out

    Help me AndroidQuestions forums, you're my only hope

    Looking for a used phone recommendation. Currently on an LG G4 [TMobile in USA]

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:58 PM PST

    I usually update my phone every few years from a website for used devices (not sure if it's kosher to name it or not, but that's not really important). I've always liked the LG G series but I see the new one in my price range (LG G7 ThinQ) looks like a real pain to replace battery/other parts in due to being water resistant.

    I'd like something with similar performance to the G7 ThinQ. My priorities in approximate order are:

    • Under $150 for a used TMobile device in good condition
    • Model with a reputation for being reliable
    • Not a huge pain to replace battery/other parts. I have the tools and amateur experience for moderate phone surgery, but I'd rather it not be super involved with a bunch of annoying adhesive everywhere.
    • Comparable performance to the G7
    • Good battery life
    • 64GB storage would be nice

    In the end maybe I should just buy the G7 and live with it if I have to replace the battery some day, but I'd like to check into other good options that I might not know of.

    Thank you!

    Chrome navigation bar moved to the top.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:30 PM PST

    It was just on the bottom a few days ago. I guess it updated and moved it back to the top. How do I get it bakc on bottom.

    I went to the flags thing and it is still set the way I believe it should be set.

    Verifying Google log in with my phone doesn't work (2FA). I'm trying to log in on my new phone.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:19 PM PST

    I bought an Xperia Z5 to replace my Z3 Compact. I have 2-step verification set up and I always verify my log ins (school computers etc.) with my Z3 Compact. I'm trying to log in and switch to my new Z5; The notification appears on my Z3C, I tap Yes, but the Z5 log in doesn't progress. It keeps waiting for me to approve the log in, when I've already approved it. I resend it, but the same happens...

    My phone literally won't boot at all

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:45 AM PST

    So i have a Samsung S4 and my phone uses three data. I tried to turn it on however it just goes on an infinite three loading screen. I can't boot into recovery mode either. I tried unrooting my phone by deleting the XDA folder but that's how I got into this so where do I go from here?

    Razr and Verizon prepaid

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:40 AM PST

    Anyone know if you can activate the Moto Razr 2020 on Verizon prepaid (with a new number) ?

    I would buy from the Motorola site directly and then switch to T-Mobile after 60 days when the device auto unlocks

    Thanks

    Camera scanning apps get hijacked by bing image search

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:17 AM PST

    I've googled this to death to no avail. Please help.

    Galaxy A50 Verizon

    I've downloaded a couple of receipt management apps (including google drive), and on both, when I click the camera icon to scan a new document, bing image search opens instead of the camera (the image being searched is always the word "null" for some reason.)

    I've scanned the phone with Malware bites, nothing found. I've updated the software, no dice. There is no bing app on the phone. The camera opens normally, it's only when I try to use these scanning apps that I have this issue.

    What to do next? Thank you!

    Is Google Assistant type command function broken for anyone else? (Pixel 4XL)

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:38 AM PST

    I open Assistant, hit the keyboard icon, type a command, and hit Enter. Nothing happens. It just closes the Assistant panel.

    Anyone else having this problem? Or should I clear Google app data? (Yes, I've tried rebooting)

    EDIT: I forgot I had Google app beta. I uninstalled beta and it's working now.

    How to install Google Play Services in Shelter

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:36 AM PST

    Shelter is a sandbox app. I have two banking apps which I would like to use, but they both need Google Play Services to work, and I don't use that for privacy reasons and concerns. I have tried to install APK files into Shelter, the ones that Google Play Services need, but it never worked. Anyone here who have any tips?

    How to flash/clean install Android on a new Xpera Z5 (lots of bloatware)?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:01 AM PST

    I just bought a brand new Xperia Z5 from a shady guy :P It's the Japanese version from Docomo, and it's full of applications with Japanese names. How can I clean it completely and have a stock Z5 with stock Xperia firmware?

    Is it possible without rooting the phone or doing other complicated and risky tasks? Can I do it with Xperia Companion or with an official firmware from Sony's website?

    Thanks.

    Query / Project - Casting from an Android Device - Home Entertainment System

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 03:56 AM PST

    Hi All, I'm trying to create a simple setup for my parents in their living room. They've purchased a google chromecast and I'm giving them an ASUS Nexus tablet to use in there for casting which I'm planning on installing just apps like Netflix / BBC iPlayer / Amazon Prime Video etc.

    What I'm wondering is if anyone has any tips to make it so when they open any of the apps, it will automatically cast to the chromecast without them needing to do anything apart from select what they want to watch on the device?

    Also, are there any Android themes which might make it look nice and simple for them with large icons and a simple UI with just the apps they need on there?

    Many thanks in advance!!!

    Auto-replace words a nightmare since android 10

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:35 AM PST

    Before the update I never had any problems. But since android 10, no words are automatically replaced.

    I make alot of typing mistakes and since the update they are all added as new words.. The weirdest letter combinations are added to the library.

    Any idea what is happening? My native language is dutch.

    Apps slow on wifi, but fast on mobile data

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:33 AM PST

    Hey everyone :)

    Last month I changed my Internet provider. Since then most of the apps are extremely slow using my wifi. For example if I want to updates some apps in the Playstore it takes me like 3-4 minutes until it finishes. First it takes approximately 1 minute until it starts to download the updated, and then 2-3 minutes to finish a 30mb update. If I do a speedtest I have a solid 350mbits connection.

    But if I change to mobile data, I don't have this problem.

    So is there a problem with my phone, or with my router? And I'm not sure if this would be the right sub for this question, but because it occurs only on my Phone, I tried here.

    Thanks in advance
