    Phone as computer headset

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is a way to connect my Galaxy s10 to my laptop and use it as a headset with mic on calls from the computer?

    Thanks!

    Accidentally Bricked Samsung Phone, Can't get into Recovery, but can enter download mode. How to factory reset?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime MetroPCS 32 GB Model Number SM-J727T. I screwed up by doing a dirty flash (forgot to factory reset) while rooting. And of course it's frecking bricked. But the stupid thing is I can't get into recovery. However, I can access the odin download mode, but without the factory reset, the flash keeps failing. This means its soft bricked and there's possibly a fix. I've asked many people on reddit for getting into the recovery, got many combinations but none of them work. I didn't find a TWRP flash so no luck with that. Is there any way to factory reset or access the recovery mode using a computer or any method. If I need to use another operating system, thats fine, because i have a mac, and pc and a linux machine running ubuntu. Please Help, because its my only phone and I can't afford getting a new one and cant send to a repair shop.

    Recording the police.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew how I would be able to record a video on my android phone that will go directly to a secured cloud account.

    This is so that even if the police were to destroy the phone, the video would still be available on a seperate database server to ensure the integrity of the situation.

    Please don't mention the "mobile justice" or "hands up 4 justice" apps. These apps simply don't work. I believe there are police districts lobbying against this technology, because literally all of the different apps that are supposed to do what I'm describing simply don't work anymore.

    Very suspicious if you ask me. If you know a workaround, please describe it, thank you!

    Decent Affordable Android Phones

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 12:21 PM PDT

    Looking for me and my fiancee to go on the same phone plan (leaning T Mobile, currently on GoogleFi). As a result looking to possibly buy a new phone. But my question is are there any decent affordable Android Phones. Most phones seem to be either at the extremely low end, or at the high end. I currently have a OnePlus6T/OnePlus6. I mean back in the day you got the Nexus Phones/ and previously OnePlus used to make a decent phone for an affordable price. Its just annoying that this is the direction most manufacturers on Android are goin. Rant Over.

    How to silence popup camera on Xiaomi Mi 9T? (Evolution X OS)

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    This camera makes a sound every time it's opened or closed (disregarding sound mode) and it would be nice to turn it off. I'm pretty sure there was an option for it in MIUI, but that disappeared once changing the rom to Evolution X OS. My device is rooted, so I figure it shouldn't be impossible to make it silent.

    Any devices that support wifi sharing/USB tethering without using mobile data

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 07:30 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, so let me clarify what I am looking for. I want to use an android phone (preferably older and cheaper) as a USB wifi adapter for my computer. I recently found out that my old ZTE Axon M actually supports "wifi sharing", where it can enable usb tethering and act as a wifi adapter without needing a sim card/mobile data. Unfortunately I am getting rid of the Axon M so I won't be able to use it anymore.
    So far I have tested my current LG Stylo 4+ and a friends Galaxy S5 which both require a network to use USB tethering. I was wondering if anyone knows of another phone that supports this, or if any custom OS (cyanogenmod, lineage OS, etc) on an older device like a galaxy s5, supports this feature. Thanks!

    (For anyone wondering why I don't just buy a usb adapter believe me I tried twice and both wouldn't work on any of my computers, and it was only using my Axon M that I was able to get solid, reliable performance on my desktops)

    Crosspost: Android Auto Call Help

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:59 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    Like many, I'm out of work right now and having difficulty collecting the unemployment from New York State. I have the timing down for the automated prompts (to the second) at the NYS DOL, and I'm wondering if there's a way I can make my phone auto-call the number and with the proper pause timing, to enter the information/numbers I need to. I can save myself having to do it every time as it takes about 3 minutes per call and I've called about 80 times so far today. I'd like to just have my headset in while it continues to try and connect me to customer service. Please help, I really need the money and I'm getting towards the end of my reserves but will keep doing this manually if I have to. Thanks.

    P.S. It's a Galaxy S8

    Huawei P10 plus, call issues

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:58 AM PDT

    2 days ago my phone stopped working properly, it rings but call screen doesnt show, if I make a call again call screen doesnt show and I cant hang up even when the other person as hung up, there's a little green bar at the top of my screen saying call is still ongoing. It's also overheating. I have to turn off the phone completely to remove the green bar or end call. Hope that makes some kind of sense. Thank you in advance for any help.

    My Bluetooth headphones default to a poor audio codec on my phone

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:12 AM PDT

    Phone: Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Headphones: Bose QuietComfort 35 II

    My headphones default to the SBC codec when connected to my phone. The audio quality is noticeably crappy. This seems to be a common problem with my particular pairing of phone and headphones model. When I go into developer options and change it to something else it just instantly defaults back to SBC.

    Can anyone think of a smart way to trick the phone into using a better codec? It's rooted. I'll do anything. I'm fond of these headphones and would love to get them to work properly wirelessly.

    How do games recognize which device I am using?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I have a quick questions for all of you knowledgable people.

    So I'm playing a game on my android device, I buy gems regularly, now, I changed my phone and when I tried to purchase something I got an error saying I need to switch back to my old device.

    I did find an solution after contacting the game support but it made me wonder, how do the games know which device am I using?

    Can they actually track your IMEI/IMSI or what? Isnt it kinda illegal to track your IMEI, how do they do it?

    I don't think it' data/cache because it works even if you factory reset.

    Can I have problems if game developers actually got ahold of my IMEI?

    Thank you in advance everyone!

    Samsung Knox Manage Multi-Tenant?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 01:27 AM PDT

    I was wondering if Samsung Knox Manage is multi-tenant?

    I've been trying to create users outside of my organization and it forces me to use my company's domain name for the user's emails. Is there a way to use other domain names?

    I would like to manage everything under one parent login ID but not sure if it is possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:08 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung J3 2017. I did a system update on my phone eariler today. A little while ago I was having trouble connecting to the internet (wifi and data). I just tried resetting it. When it came back on the home screen wouldn't load. I would get a popup saying "One UI Home keeps stopping". I managed to get into some other apps and even my settings. But I can't get the home screen to work.

    How Do I enable screenshots with power button + volume down?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    I did a full reset on my samsung A50 a few weeks back and I can no longer take screenshots via power button + volume down, only by swiping my hand across the screen which is really annoying. Anyone got a fix for it?

    Notification volume randomly maxes out

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 12:14 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a issue with my phone. The notification volume randomly maxes out. Usually it happens 1-3 times a day. Everytime it happens at 5:00 AM. Other times it seems random. The volume doest change gradually but is instant. When it heppens the volume slider doesn't pop up. It changes even from silent. I have no idea if this is due to some app or what causes it. It's driving me nuts. Right after it happened I tried looking at latest used app, but there was nothing. I tried uninstalling suspicious apps but it still happens. I really don't know how to solve this problem. I tried searching the internet and I found few people who had similar problem but with no solution. I have Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro running Android 10 and MIUI 11. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

    Clear App Data

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 09:55 AM PDT

    So the Reddit app has so much app data because of how often I post videos or photos. It's taking up too much space on my phone. If I clear the apps data will it delete my posts, username, or account? Is there a way to lower the data without losing all of that? Thanks!

    Contacts all sending me undownloadable files. They say they never sent any. Can't send any files myself. No longer receiving texts from group chats.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 03:52 AM PDT

    So confused. Even in the middle of conversations I'll receive new files to download, I think they're images. I keep getting "new messages available for download" in the Messages google app.
