    Android Questions: Old Android Tablet Uses


    Old Android Tablet Uses

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:59 AM PDT

    I have an old tablet lying around (2018 security patch) and was wondering if anyone knows if it'd be safe enough just to use it as a Netflix device.

    Can't unmute phone (ringtones)

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:38 AM PDT

    I have an One Plus 7t Pro. In the top of the screen I see a bell with a line trough it. When I swipe down, to see the Icons, I see "phone muted".

    Somehow I can't fond a way to unmute the phone's ringtones. In the sound settings, I can't change the ringtone volume. I also can't find a setting that would mute the phone.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing?

    Nothing showing up under Local Upgrade tab in settings even though I have the zip file in the root directory

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    So I'm trying to install Oxygen OS on my Oneplus 7 Pro since it came running in Hydrogen OS thus lacking all the Google services. I've downloaded the zip drill from the official OnePlus website, however it is not showing up in my Local Upgrade tab. Does anyone know why or have a solution to this? Thanks!

    How do ı stop constant notifications?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 08:55 AM PDT

    Here's the thing. One of my friends is really used to sending text messages almost word by word. Instead of writing the whole sentence and sending it once, she sends the sentences seperatly. So,it's really annoyying to hear "blip, blip, blip" like every 5 seconds. I don't want to disable notification sounds competely but I just want to make it blip once. So, when she decides to constantly message me, I just want it to blip once. Is there an option like this?

    Pixel 2 XL power cycling: a factory data reset fixed the issue, but is it liable to happen again?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:09 AM PDT

    At 3 am I woke up to my Verizon Google Pixel 2 XL screen flashing on and off, after a few iterations of this, the phone restarted in safe mode and said "the Android system could not power on the phone, a factory data reset is recommended." I reset my phone completely and now it's working fine..but I'm worried this might happen again. Any advice? Thanks!

    Voice input randomly turning off.

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:28 PM PDT

    Every now and then (Every 12 hours to 4 days) Bixby and Google Assistant will just randomly stop working. Forcing a restart fixes it, but it always keeps happening.

    Running: Latest Android 10 Samsung A71

    Any help is appreciated.

    Can replace the power button with a volume button(to turn on a switched off phone)

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:38 PM PDT

    There are many ways to replace power button with other options when the phone is already in a awake state. But how can you do something similar when your phone is powered off?

    Google app running in the background?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:28 PM PDT

    I just checked my battery usage when I realised Google has drained 29% of my battery and it's been running in the backround for 20 hours. I never used the app, any suggestions on why this is happening?

    How could I incorporate this extra Android phone into my Pc desk setup?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:27 AM PDT

    Sorry, I really have no clue where to post this, so I'll try here..

    I have an extra phone, and I'd like to clip it to my desk somewhere, and I'm trying to think of some uses for it..

    If anyone has any creative ideas (thinking streaming news, weather, or anything 24/7.. or having stats of some sort show in real time) let me know. Also maybe an idea how to install it somewhere.

    Thanks!!

    My Sony Xz1 compact is not recording any sound while using camera or sound recorder. Not facing any problem on call. But when I use a sound recorder, it does not even register any sound.

    What coud be the reason behind this? I reset my phone last month. Coud this have anything to do with my phone not recording any sound?

    Removing T Mobile Boot up screen from OnePlus

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 11:22 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I purchased my Oneplus 7t from T mobile, I asked for my device to be unlocked and it was granted.

    Still when I turn on or off my phone I will still see the T mobile logo with the pink screen.

    Does anyone know if there is any way to get that removed?

    Thank you! 😊 Stay safe!

    Why does Smart Unlock almost NEVER work?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 11:05 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S10. Even with I had the S8 I had the same issues. My trusted locations is full of addresses I frequent, as well as a bunch of Bluetooth devices I am commonly paired with. My location is always set to High Accuracy. That said, especially when I am at home, Smart Unlock never keeps my phone unlocked. Occasionally I'll see the "Device is unlocked with Smart Unlock" message but it is super rare. I will open Google Maps and confirm my location and open Smart Unlock settings and add another location more specific than my home address, but it doesn't work.

    I'm not in any power save mode. It seems like it is just a horribly implemented feature.

    I thought I remembered a setting with Android 9 that made Smart Unlock work based on connected WiFi SSID but I don't see that anymore.

    Anyone have any insight?

    Phone getting stuck on lock screen

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 10:35 AM PDT

    Since last night (04-04, typically happening around ~11 PM), my phone has been locking up and becoming near unusable. When this happens, it will try to generate the lock screen (clock, phone and camera slider, and PIN keypad), but essentially freeze before finishing. It is still working somewhat, as mobile hotspot is working, the time will occasionally (but not in real-time) update, and I am even getting notifications from background apps. This occurs about a minute after restarting the phone, before it functions relatively normally for restarting. I don't know what to do to fix this other than factory resetting it, which I would prefer to avoid if possible. It has managed to fix itself once already, but that was whenever I left it on during the night it first happened, waking up to find it working fine with low battery.

    It's an old Samsung Galaxy Note 3, AT&T model (I can't remember the exact code for it), and is definitely past its prime. If this is a symptom of an aging device or whatever it is, I would like to know.

    Is it possible to recover year old photos from galaxy s9 through pc?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:57 PM PDT

    I have a galaxy s9 (SM-G960U). I have never done a cloud back up and I was wondering if there was any way I can recover deleted photos between today and a year ago? Possibly through a laptop? I'm not a hacker or anything so I'm assuming this has been done before. If so, please send me a link to how I can do this. I've seen YouTube videos of how people can do it. But they don't say specifically how long ago their pictures were deleted, plus I get stuck at the Rooting process. Also, if it helps, these pictures were transferred to the Keepsafe app. Although, I deleted the photos in the Keepsafe app and the trash bin is empty. Please help!

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 08:08 AM PDT

    Usually I leave my phone on the home screen on my phone but after the latest update instead of defaulting to the home page with all my main apps it scrolls to the far left screen and I have to hit the square button to get back to my main screen why is it doing that?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S10. Can someone please help
