    Android Questions: Is android becoming more like ios?


    Is android becoming more like ios?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 01:28 AM PST

    I'm asking about taking freedom from the user and assuming every one dumb and making decisions for them.

    I don't keep up with android releases and discussions. I recently learned that Google made call Recording impossible for 3rd party apps even if you sideload them. Also Google is making some changes to storage. Can someone explain what is going on with new android version.

    I plan to upgrade my phone. Currently on nougat. I want full freedom, i don't want any restriction. I want tasker and other apps to work without any limitation.

    Whats the best android version do you recommend?is android 9 any good?

    How do I remove preinstalled app installers on a Samsung phone?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 10:19 AM PST

    So one of my friends has this folder of apps that just open a galaxy store page, and they want me to get rid of it. I tried to disable it in the settings, but it doesn't appear even when I enable "Show system apps". Do you guys know how to fix this?

    Phone cameras. Is this the best they can do ?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 12:59 AM PST

    I was watching a video comparing the S20 camera to the iPhone 11 pro. This got me wondering, are phones capable of having way better cameras than this and they just won't because it would make the phone too expensive ? Or is this the best they can make for this size ?

    Deciding Between Mid-range Phones

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 10:49 PM PST

    I was trying to decide between the Pixel 3a and the Galaxy S10E, but then I heard about the upcoming Galaxy XCover Pro that has a removable battery, which is a feature I used to love about Android. However, I don't know if that phone would be worth getting just because of one feature. So what do you guys think, should I wait for the XCover Pro, or just get one of the other two? Also, any suggestions as far as 3a vs s10e?

    Replacement for s5

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 11:37 AM PST

    Coming from phablets I love the small size and removable battery. Are there any suggestions for a compact phone with flagship specs (can be slightly dated) with MicroSD, a small form factor, no display cutout (I can deal with this if needed), a decent battery, and decent software support (or Lineage OS support)? I'm willing to pay flagship prices but I'd appreciate a lower price. Thank you for any and all help.

    Missed calls include my own number after the dialer's number

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 07:40 AM PST

    I got a new phone recently (Xiaomi MI 9T pro), and for some reason, whenever I miss a call, it shows up as "caller number+my phone number". Eg., let's assume my phone number is 999 999, and I get a call from the number 123 123. After I miss the call, it will show up in the call log as:

    123 123+999 999

    This is causing problems, because when I miss a call, I don't see the contact's name, even if I have that person in my contacts.

    My phone has 2 sim slots, but it has only 1 card in it, not sure if it matters.

    Keyboard Registers Double Tap When I Only Tap Once

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 11:12 AM PST

    Hello,

    Lately I've been having this problem with my keyboard. I mainly use Gboard, but this is an issue with Samsung Keyboard too. When I tap once on any of the characters in the bottom row of my keyboard (?123, comma, emoji, spacebar, period) it registers that I tap twice, and inputs the character twice. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    faster animations on WhatsApp only

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 07:17 AM PST

    hello :) I was wondering if I could make only whatsapp animations faster (0.5x)... in dev settings you can only make all the animations of the device 0.5x ( Dev settings > drawing section > animation duration scale > 0.5x)

    sorry If I made any mistakes ;)

    Is there anyway to install iOS on Android virtually?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 10:07 AM PST

    Having a problem with all GPS apps on my phone.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 06:15 AM PST

    I have a Galaxy 8S plus. It is updated and so are the apps. When I use Waze, google maps and/or the uber app it will often times show that my vehicle is not moving and even show I'm going 0 mph and the icon for my vehicle will show as staying still. This will only happen when i enter a destination and start heading towards it. If i have no destination entered and drive it will show me moving. I installed the GPS test app. If I clear and update the AGPS then reset the phone it will work but only for a limited time. Usually about a day but sometimes only for an hour or so. Since I work in emergency services I really need my maps to work all the time. Any help with how to fix this permanently will be greatly appreciated.

    How do I set a WhatsApp voice message as an audio?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:02 AM PST

    And by "Audio", I mean "Alarm."

    I tried file manager, but any audio (voice message) I record just don't show up.

    I'm trying to create a voice message where I scream "WAKE UP!" to myself, so If anyone has an idea on how to do that - that'd be great!

    my phone seems to go through periods where it randomly receives tens of notifications in a go

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 02:56 AM PST

    So this is one of my older phones. I just use it as an alarm clock or to browse online now. It's an S7.

    Anyway so this happens frequently that when it's on it'll just start buzzing and will receive many notifications in a go. There's no phone number attached to it so it's not like these are whatsapp messages. But for some reason it'll just receive all these notifications that make no sense.

    Possibly related, it also seems to really suck the battery. Last night it was at like 60-80%, when I woke up it was dead. What?!

    File explorer and SD card

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 08:25 AM PST

    I've checked the app permissions for all apps, they have write permission to write to the SD card. I've used five different file explorers and they can't move, edit, or create files.

    I didn't have this problem before but it's been an issue for the past three weeks. Any advice?

    Is it okay to restart my phone often? (GCam issue)

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 12:23 AM PST

    I have been using GCam for a while now. It used to work perfectly in android 9 Pie. But God knows what happened and from the Android 10 Q update, it just works for 1-2 days after installing. After that, it stops capturing photos. I tried many versions but couldn't find one that works. And if I restart my phone, GCam starts working again. But that again lasts for 1-2 days and it stops taking pictures. This makes me restart my phone a lot more. So is it safe to do that?

    Would restarting my phone like, 5 times a week damage it or it's software in any way? And is there any fix for this GCam issue? (The issue seems to be on my phone only. I have tried a full factory reset too.)

    Thanks.

    [Pixel 3a / QQ1A.200205.002] Why is Chrome always my top app for battery (and usually data as well), even though I never use it and have FireFox Focus set as my default browser?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 06:37 AM PST

    Oddly enough, I didn't notice this until after I installed Focus as my default browser - Though I'll admit it's possible I just didn't think anything of it when I was still intentionally using Chrome.

    Over the past two weeks, though, it's pretty conspicuous that an app I literally never use is always my top battery drain and usually at least tied for my top bandwidth consumer. It isn't so bad that my phone is dying in the middle of the day, but it's consistently a solid third of my total battery usage.

    My phone isn't rooted, Focus and Brave (I don't really use the latter, it's just a fallback if something won't render correctly in a Focus) are the only non-stock apps installed... It's a totally vanilla Pixel 3a with all the latest updates. 99% of what I use it for is phone, texting, email, web browsing, and Instagram (with background activity disabled).

    Thanks!
