    Rom for same device but different region

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:09 AM PST

    My device, the United States honor 7x, currently has emui 8, the international model of the same honor 7x has been on emui 9 for a while. What would happen if I installed ROM for international honor 7x on the USA one? They have the same hardware besides the amount of ram and the storage size.

    Most of the file recovery software I see only does photos and videos, while others just try to take my money

    Mobile data usage in roaming

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:27 AM PST

    Hello Does Android provide a native way to keep track of mobile data used while in roaming vs. mobile data used while connected to your regular carrier?

    I would like to have different limits set for both scenarios.

    Thanks

    My Moto G6 doesn't support the LDAC audio codec and I'm unsure what to do

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:02 AM PST

    I recently bought Sony wh100xm3 headphones that support the LDAC Bluetooth codec. I also own a Moto G6 on Google Fi.

    To my dismay, Motorola disabled LDAC in Android Pie and I most likely won't get the upgrade to Android 10. The way I see it, in order to get LDAC support I have 3 options:

    1. Buy a new phone (pixel 2xl or 3a?) probably off of Craigslist

    2. Be stuck with the codec disabled having the lowest quality Bluetooth audio possible

    3. Root my phone to stock Android or Lineage OS (I don't know where I'd find the stock Android or know how to do this)

    From what I've read, apps like my bank account app and Snapchat won't work on rooted phones, and I can definitely understand why for banking security. I don't want to go through the headache of trying to get the apps to work and I don't want to brick my device trying to.

    I'm at a loss on what to do. Is there any way that I could enable the codec without replacing the OS? I've already tried developer options and that didn't work.

    Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    Unable to fill a form in an old app

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:44 AM PST

    Background: Few years ago my son made an DIY smarthome system with an app which control the lighting, curtains and door lock. The thing is we broke up, and the app is having an issue with newer android version.

    Issue: To use the control the smart home I have to enter all these settings in pop up forms, but when I fill in the form, it just won't save. I have been keeping my old android phone just for this purpose, but it has recently died and I am not even able to close my curtains and lock my door... Is there any way I can get around filling in the forms in an older app

    Reset Screen on Time

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 10:16 AM PST

    Tried search but no luck. Is there a way to reset screen on time back to zero? I've tried charging to 100% and restarting the device. Neither worked as it still shows 2 hours SOT. Note 10. Thanks.

    Is 45w charging worth it?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:22 AM PST

    I've been looking up about 45w chargers and if they are worth it over the stock 25w charger provided with most phones. All YouTube videos I watched seemed to suggest that you only get 10-20 minutes less of charging from 15% to 100% making it a waste of money due to how expensive the charger is. Still, I'd like to hear from more than just a few YouTube videos so is it worth it or are those YouTubers right?

    Phone randomly plays universal theme

    Posted: 29 Feb 2020 03:40 PM PST

    This afternoon I was on Pinterest when the universal theme suddenly started blasting. I closed the app and checked if it was a notification (there wasn't any). The song kept playing so I closed all of my apps thinking that it was an app that kept running. I blocked my phone but it kept playing until the song finished.

    This really creeped me out so I googled the problem and found out that a lot of people have had this issue and had some other sounds/music they never downloaded play at random times.

    Do I have a virus? What can I do?

    I have a Moto g 4 if it helps Thanks In advance

    Google app crashes unless I clear cache after every restart

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 09:21 AM PST

    For the last week, my Google app crashes upon opening. I can't view the Google feed. If I use the assistant, it listens to my voice and recognizes it, but then crashes as soon as it tries to show results. By crash, I mean the results screen flashes for a millisecond and then disappears. There's no toast or other message.

    If I clear the Google app storage, it works again until I restart the phone.

    I'm on a OnePlus 6, stock OOS 9.0.9 (still on Android 9). Things I have tried: Upgrading to the latest version of the Google app. Uninstalling all updates to the Google app. Clearing all data in the Google play store app. Rebooting to recovery and clearing the phone's cache.

    Does anyone have an idea of something I can try short of a factory reset?

    Remote desktop/access Android tablet/phone?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 09:16 AM PST

    Hi.

    I'm looking for a way to remote desktop my tablet (Sony Xperia Tablet Z, Android 5.1.1) and i've tried a few so far, but none of them did what i needed (mainly to switch audiobook in Audible or Smart Audiobook Player, and switching between those apps). I'd prefer to remote control it from anywhere and from any device, but at the very least, i need it to work wirelessly and with a windows 7 computer to control it. I'd also like it to be possible to control it from my phone (Sony Xperia XZ Premium, Android 9).
    I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Teamviewer: It connects, but i can't control it, i can only see what's happening on the screen, which is useless for my needs. Add to that the fact that my entire teamviewer account is suspected of commercial use, which is a pain to fix (i've tried).

    Vysor: Connects and lets me control the tablet without any issues, wahey...except that it doesn't allow me to use wifi, unless i subscribe to it, which would not work for me. I don't mind a single time payment, but not subscriptions.

    Airdroid: Granted, it's been a long time since i used it, but back then, i could only transfer files and respond to messages. I also got tired of the constant Update prompts on windows.

    Scrcpy: Simply too complex for me to figure out. Sorry.

    Also, i hope i used the proper flair. I apologize if i didn't.

    How to boot with Magisk (Root) - A50 (No Bixby button)

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:57 AM PST

    So I followed this tutorial on how to root my Samsung A50 (SM-A505FN). But I don't know how to re-boot my phone with root. Mainly because I haven't got a Bixby button, which confuses me on what buttons to press? Does anyone know the buttons?

    How do I get apps to stop spamming my gallery with thumbnails and such?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:27 AM PST

    I have stock Android with Google photo (Moto G6 Play), and I never remember having this problem with the 3 Samsung phones that I owned. Certain apps and games will periodically spam my camera roll with an ungodly amount of thumbnails and ad files. It won't show up when I open the photos app, but when I go to send someone an image somewhere like on Discord or Instagram, they show up there and it takes forever to scroll past them. It isn't detrimental to me using my phone, just very annoying. Any tips to stop this?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:16 AM PST

    I don't know why but in every few hours my cache fills up with 3gb of cache data, each time i notice my phone memory full i clean the cache data on the storage settings and go from 9.83gb to 6.81gb of full space in my internal storage. Can this be a virus or something?

    Android TV Box - Google says to download Chrome while I am currently browsing on Chrome. So Chrome is ALREADY installed

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:11 AM PST

    I am really losing my temper with all of youtubes BS intrusive ads interrupting videos I'm watching. Went to Chrome Web Store to download Adblock for Youtube https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-for-youtube/cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk .

    When I select add to chrome, it takes me to a screen that says "Use your favorite extensions with chrome. Now more simple, secure and faster than ever - with help from Google built in.
    DOWNLOAD CHROME

    The catch here is I am ALREADY and CURRENTLY AT THE MOMENT using Chrome to install that extension so when I try to download, it says already installed.

    So if it's already installed, why can't I add Chrome extensions from the Webstoree without being told that I need to download Chrome first??

    Seriously getting pissed off here. Is there any other EASIER ways to block inturruptive ads on Youtube? I'm sick of these BS ads constantly inturrupting.

    Google Assistant doesn't work with bluetooth any more

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 07:58 AM PST

    I have a OnePlus 3 with OxygenOS 9.0.3.

    I used to be able to use my bluetooth system in my car to give commands or ask questions to Google Assistant like "give me directions to x" or "will it rain today?". It has lately been telling me to unlock the phone and press the notification, which is absolutely useless since I would be driving. When I do unlock the phone the notification just says "When the phone is locked you can use your voice to talk to the Google assistant with a headset" (I mean, what the notification says completely contradicts its existence). When I press it it just activates voice command and does absolutely nothing else.

    Looking for a phone without round corners.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:17 AM PST

    I had an old Xperia they were very good looking and had good specs for the price, but the new ones (like xperia 10 and 5) are very tall and they look weird. the latest phone that i found nice looking was the Razer phone 2, but i can't buy it new anymore and its a bit expensive for me. So I'm looking for something without round edges and with a price around 500€ (or 500$). any ideas ?

    How to Prevent Android From Killing Background Apps?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 07:44 AM PST

    If I use browser for example and put it in the background to open another app and use it for a while, then when I switch back to browser it fucking reloads EVERYTIME and it asks for WIFI connection (if I go offline) this is super annoying, in case of music apps, when using playing audiobooks, it plays from the begining if it's idle for a while. For reference I'm using MIUI and Redmi Note 3. There's still plenty of memory space.

    Use Nintendo Switch controller with ZTE tablet?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:55 AM PST

    I have a ZTE Grand X View 3 tablet, which has a USB-C port on it. I was wondering if it is possible to hook up my Nintendo Switch powerA controller which has a micro usb port on it to the tablet. I have the appropriate cord to pair the 2 devices but am unable to try it at the moment due to being at work.
