    Android Questions: Why is Google Messages so limited in terms of customization?


    Why is Google Messages so limited in terms of customization?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 06:48 AM PDT

    I like the clean and minimal look of the app but theres very little you can change inside the app. No color changes is a little annoying. Also, you cant change with the swipe function does on a conversation. You swipe left or right and both of them ask if you want to archive the conversation. You cant switch it to have one "delete"?

    Creepy TikTok ad/notification out of nowhere?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 05:55 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit, please give me a hint.

    This https://imgur.com/a/P4TJ4Ek notification, seemingly from TikTok, pops up on a Lenovo K5 play once in a few weeks or so. What's this? When i tap on it, it installs something like https://imgur.com/CXnZu29, that I directly uninstall. I blocked Google Play and most unknown crap from accessing the internet, there are only a few apps installed, nothing special. That creeps me out a little bit. How do I prevent this? Thanks in advance! Edit: Tiktok has never been installed in the first place.

    Can I connect both keyboard and charger to my device at the same time?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 07:58 AM PDT

    I recently bought an OTG cable for my Android tab. I often use keyboard with my device using that cable. But the battery of my tab is in a bad state. So I want to use the keyboard and charge my tab at the same time. Is there any way I can do that? What will happen if I use a USB hub for that? Would the charging slow down that way (voltage divided?)? Please help.

    CPU/battery usage crazy high

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 07:50 AM PDT

    So my battery usage rate has been super high, -1000 mA, and I think it is because my CPU usage is high like in the 80-90s.

    What can I do to fix this?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy 7.

    How do I remove these crazy popup ads on my phone

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 07:41 AM PDT

    Admittedly, I downloaded a bunch of shady stuff online and pretty sure my phone got something. Now it just pops up ads frequently regardless of what app I'm using and redirects me to some crazy websites online. I tried deleting everything and it's still there. How do I figure out what caused the problem and stop it?

    If I had a pixel running the "eng" or "userdebug" builds of AOSP, then would I be able to receive and use OTA updates?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    If so, this seems like it would be the easiest way to root pixel devices. Is it?

    Hotspot won't turn on if 5ghz band is selected

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 12:54 PM PDT

    Hello there fellow android users, I come to you in time of great need.

    Yesterday evening I recived what I think is going to be one of the last updates to my smartphone. I have a HTC U11 Life (Android One Version) and I recived the long awaited update to Android 10. After downloading and installing, I tried to connect my laptop to my phone mobile hotspot but I couldn't. I figured out that it was a problem on my phone as the hotspot wouldn't turn on on 5ghz and shows an Error message. On 2.4ghz everything works correctly.

    So here I am, asking for your help and expertise. Did anyone else had the same problem? I do not know what to do. Thanks in advance.

    PS: sorry for mi spaghetti english. I am a italiano boy. Also I posted this in r/Android but it was removed, so I am trying my luck here... please help

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 12:38 PM PDT

I've reset my phone multiple times and nothing seems to be working to get them to work. I open them and like a second later they crash. Any one know anything to help?

    Phone bricked because of forgotten pattern?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 03:47 AM PDT

    Ok, so I am pretty hopeless at this point. I already psoted this on r/Android but it was the wrong sub.

    The situation:

    A Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-750G specifically) is locked by a pattern. The owner of the phone forgot that pattern. You currently need to wait 64 minutes to try a pattern.

    Solutions:

    1. "Remote unlock" via google account or Samsung account -> need login data, but I am on it as this seems to be the best option right now. Samsung customer support recommends this btw.
    2. Get phone into recovery mode on boot/startup and hard wipe/reset everything -> this damn phone just won't go into recovery mode. Power+volume down does force a reboot but no button combination whatsoever gets this phone into recovery mode.
    3. anything regarding adb, sdk, etc. -> USB debugging is sadly not turned on. Is there a way to do this remotely? I guess not cause I didn't find any method and it would beat the purpose of it being disabled.

    If you have other solutions or know subreddits better suited for this, please tell me. I will be grateful for any comment that is somewhat helpful. So, thanks in advance.

    Pixel 3a XL - Touchscreen Unresponsive

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:51 AM PDT

    Hello, I have a Google Pixel 3A XL in the US on Verizon. For the third time now the touchscreen has gone completely unresponsive. It will go unresponsive in the middle of doing things and it will stay that way if I force restart it with the power button. Which is also unusual because I believe when one holds the power button to shut down the phone it is supposed to stay off, but mine will automatically reboot. The previous two times Ive been able to reboot the phone over and over and it eventually works, but Ive done it about 20 times now and still nothing.

    When the phone boots with an unresponsive touchscreen it will also always be in airplane mode and right before the home screen loads I will see for half a second the most recently opened app as if I had pressed the "recent apps" button (I dont know what that button is actually called but I have heard it called that before; its the button at the bottom that is not the home or back button)

    I have a pretty standard phone. Its not rooted and Im only using apps from the play store. The only third party software I can think of that could be causing the issue is Nova Launcher. It seems like a software issue, but I guess it could be a finicky connection somewhere in my touchscreen. Though that would not explain the airplane mode and displaying the most recent app when first booted.

    Do yall have any idea what could be my problem or at least what I can do to get it to go away when it does happen?

    Spotify cuts out constantly when listening with locked screen?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    My Spotify refuses sometimes to play. It has something to do with optimization but I cannot find the exact setting to change. The app itself sometimes asked to change the settings but redirects me to app settings where there are no real options to fix the issue.

    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Can my LG G8 utilize 4G on AT&T network??

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:14 AM PDT

    Hello, I recently bought an LG G8 on eBay ("open box" claimed from trustworthy looking seller), and the phone itself functions. However, even though it said it was unlocked, in device settings it has "Brand" listed as Sprint. I use AT&T, and am able to use my SIM card, allowing calls and data, but only up to 3G. The person at the store said that it was hardware locked to 3G, but I'm not sure that's true. The model number matches the Canadian model, so I don't know if that would prevent it. I've tried different network settings, but nothing has allowed 4G.

    Could it function if I unlocked it? I've been told I can purchase an unlock code. How do I know if the lack of 4G is a software restraint (of Sprint locking or otherwise), or if it physically can't access AT&T 4G? Since it can use AT&T service, but not 4G, does that mean it will never be able to use AT&T 4G? Help is appreciated.

    Need advice on setting up accounts on new android work phone

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 10:46 AM PDT

    So I got a new work phone and need to add relevant apps for my job (ie slack, skype...). To install apps I need to add a google account. I do not want to bloat it with my personal google accounts contacts or anything as it barely has space and is worse in all regards compared to my personal phone so will only use it for contacting people at work or sharing files with them.

    My question is as the phone is strictly for work (separate contacts and stuff) should I create a new google account under my work email or is there any benefit from using my personal google account?

    The screenshot below shows that my Moto G5S+ XT1806 Oreo 8.1 doesn't have a way to access APN settings from the Network & Internet settings screen. Any tips on what I'm missing will be appreciated. It's the only phone I've had where APNs are inaccessible.

    Why do my music files either shrink in size or develop a random screech in them?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 09:55 AM PDT

    I've downloaded music to my phones(Moto play) sd card and eventually some tracks either are shortened as in only the intro plays then the song skips to the next track or the song ends before it is supposed to. Another issue is some tracks develop a random screeching noise in them. What could be cutting my tracks and/or corrupting them with the screech noises?

    Is there any way to reverse image search in chrome using google lens?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    In the past you would just get the image reverse search option whenever you select an image but now you can only use Google lens, I've seen people online say that they are able to reverse search images using it but I just can't find out how, I always just download the image and upload it to some website the reverse search images, so is there anyway to bring back the reverse search option or should I just uninstall updates from chrome?

    How to avoid battery drain from video calls?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 03:21 AM PDT

    Everyday I end up in a video call to friends and my battery gets absolutely evaporated. I know its probably common sense at that, it has to be excessively draining the battery and therefore causing my charges cycles to pass quicker but then what's the way around it? How does one video call without their battery having a heart attack? Facebook Messenger must be the worst as it continues to run in a pop up screen in the background.

    What's the most I can do with ADB

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 09:15 AM PDT

    Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy A50 and it's the SM-A505U1 model which means it can not be bootloader unlocked. Because if that I cannot do anything that requires root. What is the most that I can do with ADB. The main reason I want to unlock the bootloader is because I want to enable Camera2api and get rid of One Ui. Is there any way to do this with just ADB. I already managed to uninstall all the Samsung preloaded apps but I can't find a way to do anything else
