    System reports 31/32 GB used, but TreeSize and SD Maid both say I've only used about 6 GB

    I know that the OS takes around 5-10 GB but shouldn't that make my total used around 16?

    Switching from iPhone: missing features

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 12:51 PM PDT

    I've been using Android since the Cupcake days until the iPhone X came out. My iPhone has now died and perhaps I will have to buy a new phone. I'm considering an S20. I've been testing Android on a barely functioning s10+ (screen barely works) on Android Pie and there are a few things I'm missing from iOS. Are there any replacements?

    1. Scroll to top. iOS did this seamlessly by tapping the taskbar in all apps.
    2. The gestures in iOS were fluid. Now I haven't had the opportunity to check out Android 10, but from what I've seen, I miss the back and forward gestures in Chrome. How well does this work on 10?
    3. Down gesture brings down Spotlight AND opens the keyboard. The default Samsung launcher doesn't seem to do this. There is a search bar but you have to press it to bring up the keyboard.

    There are also a few apps from iOS such as Life Cycle which I am going to miss for which I'm unable to find replacements. However, there are many things that I found limiting in iOS such as the lack of a t9 dialer.

    White wallpaper doesn't appear white

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 09:38 PM PDT

    On my Galaxy s9+ I have a picture with a white background I want to use as a wallpaper, but when I set it as a wallpaper, it darkens the white into a sort of grey, and if you compare it side by side it's a huge difference. It's probably something to do with conserving battery, or avoiding burn in, but I want to know if I can change it

    EXAMPLE: (pop up view is the original color, background is obviously when it's applied as a wallpaper) https://photos.app.goo.gl/AzHFXDwsvKqWsnMi6

    My mobile data not working on laptop??

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 09:17 AM PDT

    So I've been using my mobile data on laptop through Hotspot for the last year, I had no problems. Until two days ago, it stopped working on the laptop, it's still connecting easily to the Hotspot, just there is no access to the internet, while it's working perfectly on the mobile. First I thought on posting on windows sub but then I tried another laptop, same problem. So I thought it must be the phone. I have pixel 3, and it may worth noting it's low on storage.

    I'm making a phone with spare parts, does anyone have some tips?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 08:37 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to build my own android phone with spare parts from China, but I was wondering if it was possible to use parts from different brands or models with each other and how I can find out if they can. For example if it is possible to use a Samsung camera on a Huawei motherboard.

    Also I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions of where I can find cheap parts.

    I know this might not be the best place to ask this, so if anyone knows a better place were I could get some advise, I would appreciate it to.

    So if anyone could help me out or give me some tips I would appreciate it a lot!

    Lenovo TB-8505X with Android 9 super slow OTG speed and system lag while transferring

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 11:48 AM PDT

    Hello there!

    So I'm using a new Lenovo TB-8505X with Android 9 and I've tried several file managers and still when I'm trying to transfer files to any of my USB sticks the speed is too slow, like one mb and even gets slower, ridiculous, and the system starts to lag atrociously! On my old Lenovo Tab Essentials with Android 5 everything transfers fast and the system doesn't lagging! Why is that and what can be done about it?

    I've already tried to enable USB Debugging and all that, to no avail!

    Do any of you guys have this problem, seems like a Pie's problem...

    Is it even solvable?

    Disable hardware keys when using RAM X-GRIP motorcycle mount.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 10:52 AM PDT

    Please suggest and app or method so I have the ability to enable and disable the volume keys on my rooted Xiaomi Mi6 (AICP ROM + Magisk). I have a RAM X-Grip mount on my motorcycle and it always presses the volume buttons, unless I finesse it exactly between the volume/power button which can come undone during drives.

    [HELP] Unable to install an app from Play Store.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 08:48 AM PDT

    [Nokia 3.1, Android 9]

    Hello y'all. After a problem with the old SD card (corrupted and went unrecognized overnight) I had to reinstall some apps. One of these is Flightradar24, but after the download it fails to install (triangle ! sign notification).

    Things I tried:

    • clear Play Store cache
    • soft reset
    • install from apk (it asks me if I want to "install this update")

    My suspect is that there is a folder somewhere that needs to be deleted, but I'm not experienced enough to know where to look.

    Can someone take my hand and show me the way? Oh, please of course.

    Does anyone here know anything regarding the Depth API release date for public? Like we use the plane detection and all other features, when can we expect the Depth API to be accessible to developers without any project information on "call for collaboration" initiative.

    The Google App is not opening links to web pages when I click them in the Feed, or even in search results.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    Device: OnePlus 5T, Android 9, AT&T. Tried disabling (and thus downgrading) the Google app. That actually worked until it updated again. Joined the beta and updated. Same issue. I've been able to open a reddit link in reddit is fun from search results, but that's about it so far.

    Seems like the news events on the Feed that are big tiles of half picture, half text, do not work. However, articles that are smaller and text only with a picture on the right side DO work.
