    Any way to stop an app from resetting when I switch to another app?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 09:56 AM PDT

    I mean let's say my Reddit app I used to scroll down 50 threads, if I go out of it for a while, do a few things in another app,

    The app itself will reset and reload.

    Any thoughts

    G800A to Lollipop: Is this possible?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 02:31 AM PDT

    I have a Galaxy S5 mini (g800a).
    I'm trying to install the "G800AUCU3BOJ8" update that brings the 5.0 Lollipop OS onto the phone.
    I cannot, for the life of me, get my phone to update to this, nor can I find a download for it online.
    I need to update my phone to that or better, and I need help.

    Any and all means I am willing to attempt.
    Please advise... gently.
    Please.

    Have music not pause due to other apps?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    For example I'm pretty sure that if you're listening to music on an iOS device and scroll thru snap stories the music will still play and the stories will be kinda quite is there any way to implement that back on Android? I'm root so any possibilities involving that are possible. Thanks in advance

    Shopping app (whitelist, blacklist)

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 10:27 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm looking for app which I can use to make lists of products, one of the list will be whitelist and the other will be blacklist. The basic idea is like that, I'm going to store all the products I liked to the whitelist, and all the products I dislike to the blacklist. So next time when I'm in the shop I will know what I like and will buy it. There are a lot of same products made by different brands, and it is very hard to me to know all of them by head.

    It will be good, if I can attach pictures to the products, and I can share these lists with my friends.

    Do you know app like that?

    What is happening?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 10:09 AM PDT

    https://m.imgur.com/a/837IuND - the screenshot

    I have a mysterious app in my recent apps bar. It is called Whatsap (yes, I spelled it correctly, not WhatsApp, Whatsap.) , and I don't even have WhatsApp installed. When I enter it, it's just a bunch of ads, and it crashes when I press the X button. Do you know what's this?

    Looking for a chess app to play with my son on the other side of the country

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    There's a sea of chess games. I'm ok paying for one that isn't going to be too intrusive with permissions and allow me to directly connect with friends, so I can play with my son. Any recommendations?

    Also any recommendations on other games I can play with my son, (10-14 age range), would be appreciated. I stopped playing games before the first WOW expansion so I've lost touch a long time ago.

    I used to fly back to see him and take him to see other family regularly and everything's been canceled, and I don't know when we can reasonably expect things to get to a point where it's safe to travel. Any suggestions appreciated.

    SM-T230NU and a higher version of Android?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 11:13 AM PDT

    Sorry if I'm being dumb, I'm not very experienced with android devices. I've got a tablet, it's currently on android 4.4.2, is it possible to upgrade this to a more recent OS? I've gone via software update but it says I'm up to date already. If it is possible, can someone tell me how I do it?

    Adding a blur effect (like on some OEM roms or iOS) to stock Android/LineageOS (I have root but I'm not a programmer)?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 10:03 AM PDT

    On some OEM Roms the manifacturer has added a blur effect behind the quick settings panel. I have also found two guides in how to do this but, the first was extremely outdated (for Android 4 I think) and the other one was outdated as well, with the addition of needing xposed, which I don't want to use because it causes my device to fail safetynet, breaking stuff like Netflix.

    Android Basics

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 06:10 AM PDT

    I've got a Sony Xperia (Model F5321) that's been hacked and I'm thinking it's my next door neighbor's millennial kid who's literally living in their garage. That got me interested in phone/Android architecture and security and I'd wanted to ask you experts for some reading material you especially like.

    Turning off Bluetooth doesn't help, factory resets or using the Sony Companion to wipe the phone and reinstall the OS don't help either so I thought I'd start with what's on the ROM? What partitions are created for which purposes and how can I see a hidden one? My goal is to learn how to do a proper wipe of the entire phone, all partitions, and load Android 10 or 11 (or a security focused custom ROM) from a Windows PC. Right now it's running Oreo.

    Thanks in advance for any of your favorite articles.

    Unusual data usage by Google services.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 09:28 AM PDT

    Everyday Google play store and play services consume 10 to 30 MB data for no apparent reason. I, few times caught the notification "security information updating",which I cannot stop when in progress. The data consumption metrics are no concern to me however, I would like to know why it is being used without prompting me. Device is operating on EMUI9.1 based on android 9.

    Best AptXHD or AptX Adaptive Ear Buds

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 06:43 AM PDT

    I'm finding a lot of ear buds that support AptX, but even many higher end earbuds only support AAC or SBC.

    Since I'm partial to the AptXHD codec, does anyone have a recommendation for AptXHD or AptX Adaptive earbuds? Price range is $80-$150. I searched and didn't find many results for this query.

    Even Amazon's list of "AptXHD Compatible Headphones" list models that are only AptX. Ideally, Qualcomm would maintain a list of the models that support their various codecs, but I have yet to find a list.

    They can be corded or separate buds. Thanks

    I have weird problem with phone memory.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 03:48 AM PDT

    I was cleaning my storage space to reach >1GB of free space (I wanted to download long video). I deleted plenty of stuff (music, videos, apps, apps data) and used cleaner at the end. After cleaning phone indicated 1.1GB of free space. So I started downloading video (it was 1GB big). The problem is, downloading was stopped at 20% becouse of not enough free space. I thought that it is impossible, so I canceled download. Then I used cleaner once again and it indicated only 215MB of free space. Do you maybe know what's wrong and how can I fix that? I'm really annoyed at this point...

    My mobile is Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro with Android 9 and MIUI 11.

    Stop a section of the screen from receiving inputs?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 11:37 AM PDT

    I dropped my phone and now the bottom of the screen is clicking by itself like crazy and making the phone unusable. I already tried looking for a solution and thought I found one using this command

    adb shell

    wm overscan 0,0,0,400

    However this only stops anything from being shown there. While now stuff has stopped opening by itself, I still cant use it since all the inputs at the bottom are still being registered and blocking my inputs from working. Anyway to do a similar command to stop that part of the screen from being able to be clicked on entirely?

    Data recovery from a Note 9 in boot loop

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 01:35 AM PDT

    So this morning my Note 9 was functioning as normal and then all of a sudden the fingerprint scanner became non-responsive. I figured that it was just a minor hiccup so restarted the phone and now its in a perpetual boot loop. I have tried wiping the cache partition and starting in safe mode but still the same issue of starting, asking for my encryption PIN and then hanging on the SAMSUNG screen for a while before restarting.

    When viewing the rescue log, there is a fatal exception in system process biometrics.fp, which i assume is correlating to the fact my fingerprint scanner stopped working.

    Now here's the dumb part. I would really, really like the photos from this phone but am unwilling to take the phone in for a repair as the photos include hundreds of NSFW pics of myself as I sell adult content online and don't want to deal with someone potentially grabbing all of my content including things that haven't been released yet. I have already gone and replaced the phone today (Galaxy Note 10+) so I really don't care about the Note 9 having a warranty voided or even being functional - I just want the data from it.

    Thank you in advance <3

    Old amber alerts popping up any time a new one is issued...

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:28 PM PDT

    I have an LG K30, Tmobile as my service provider, running 8.1.0. Any time I get an amber alert, or any of the presidental alerts like the one that just came out a few days ago, I have to hit accept on every other amber alert that I have gotten since I got the phone.

    Is there any way to clear out the old ones so that I don't have to go through 20+ amber alerts every time a new one comes in?

    Thanks for any help!

    My Galaxy s10 recently haven't been showing notifications and the pattern lock doesn't work.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 10:38 AM PDT

    Happened a couple days ago where I noticed my phone wouldn't unlock with the pattern, I would have to use the fingerprint scanner instead. And now for the past couple days my phone vibrates but all notifications seem to be turned off. I have to open each app (whatsapp, messages, mail, ect..) to find the notif. I checked the settings and everything is switched on. I tried restarting the phone, checking for updates but nothing helped.

    Anyone else experienced this problem?

    Phone vibration has stopped working

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    Hello,

    A couple of days ago, I realized that the haptic feedback from the keyboard on my Samsung A30, with the latest version of available update, stopped working, i went to check other vibration functions and all of them weren't working. I looked around in the internet and found several guides and did it all. So far I did:

    • Changed vibration settings - got nothing out of that.

    • Restarted the phone several times - first 2 times it vibrated at the samsung A30 logo, them after first 2 it stopped.

    • Restarted at safe mode - nothing there.

    • Factory Reset - Went back to working, then after 1 hour stopped.

    • After factory reset, i did a settings reset - It worked after restart, then stopped after 20min.

    I don`t know what to do anymore, it seems like a software issue for me, but i have no other ideas of what to do. Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    LG V40 / Android 9. GPS keeps turning itself on.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 07:40 AM PDT

    It seems every time I pick up my phone the gps is switched on. I turn it off but, sure enough 15 minutes later, it's on again or even while I'm using it the gps icon on flashes in the top bar.

    Troubleshooting so far:

    -WiFi and Bluetooth scanning off

    -Location Permissions off for every app on the list under Lock screen and security > Location > App Level Permissions

    • Turned off Low Power Location Estimation, Emergency Location Service, Google Location Accuracy, Google Location History, Google Location Sharing under same section.

    -Find My Device off under Lock screen and security

    If I go to the Recent Location Requests section it lists two things: Google play services (for which permissions are off per the aforementioned list) and LG IMS, which I don't see anywhere else in the phone.

    Thanks.
