    Liquid detected in chargeport

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    So I've been getting this error message all day on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and I know for a fact that my phone hasn't been near any liquid in the past few weeks. My phone has been air drying for the enirety of the day yet I still get the same message. Note, I tried it several times on the same charger. After leaving my phone and charger to dry the whole day the message doesn't seem to go away. At this point I decided to try a different charger and to my surprise it worked so this must mean the problem is probably on the cable itself. Which leads me to my actualy piece I need advice on, what can cause this and what can be a possible fix for this instead of just buying a new cable?

    Updating to Android 10 stopped the keyboard from remembering commonly used phrases, and now updating to One UI 2.1 erased what was already remembered. How do I get option back and keep it?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 04:33 AM PDT

    I'm not sure what the setting is called, you write one word and then your keyboard suggests what word you want next based on past usage.

    Location History shows a specific location in my city that I have never heard of or been to

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 06:21 AM PDT

    I am in Ottawa Canada, the Nokia buildings address is 600 March Rd

    I work in a government-owned building and on March 11, 2020, I just noticed in a google location history report today, April 11th, that my phone teleported to the Nokia building in my city for 8 hours and teleported back to my job. Disguised as "Driving and walking" but I mean look at that line + time it was at the Nokia building. Is it possible my location history shows the Nokia buildings address because my phone was accessed remotely by someone at the Nokia building and if that were the case what would I do about that?

    The reason I mentioned it is a government-owned facility is because I was warned in my orientation that I might get increased friend requests from foreigners on Facebook and stuff but I don't have social media so I didn't acknowledge that, but now I'm (hopefully deluding myself) worried I'm a target for someone.

    edit proof:

    Moved to new device. app purchases seem to not transferred over?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 06:14 AM PDT

    From old phone (Mi A2 Lite) to new one (Redmi Note 8 Pro). Same account.

    Many apps that I'm 1000% positive already bought and used for hours (including Simple Gallery Pro and Sync for Reddit Pro) in my old phone, now seemingly need to be purchased again. Play Store shows the button with price, the same thing when a paid app is not yet purchased, when pressed, it prompts me with payment method, I was expecting some kind of "You Already Own This Item" message.

    is there a limit on how many times I can transfer an account? because I kind of going back and forth a few times with my used, very ugly, ancient android phone before I got the Note 8 Pro.

    Annoying screen notifications and phone lights up despite turning it off (snapchat and messenger)

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 11:58 AM PDT

    I have a Huawei p30 lite running android. As much as I dislike snapchat I have it to communicate with family members and the occasional friend. Problem is every time I get a message or some random bot/thot adds me the phone lights up and stays lit for about 7 seconds. I have disabled all notifications from snapchat in my phones settings but it still happens. I don't get a notification, the phone just lights up.

    And I couldn't find in any settings an option to disable messenger creating circles on your screen if you have unred messages, even if you're not using messenger. They take up a lot on the screen and are annoying.

    Any tips on how to resolve this would be appriciated!

    Is there a way I can get my work back from Google Docs?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 02:51 AM PDT

    I was working on the Google docs on Android, I had a manuscript saved which took me three days to complete. I finished writing the document and it was stuck at "saving" for hours, I kept waiting and it was stuck at "0/100". I got frustrated and "forced stop" the app and relaunched it. Opened the app and everything is gone. I looked at my phone storage and opened the docx file I had previously saved, and when I opened it, the pop up said "the document is corrupted" and the size of the document is 0 bytes now. Is there any way I can get my work back?

    Till less than an hour ago my phone's navigation buttons auto-hid after a few seconds. Changed the navigation bar setting to "full-screen gesture" and rechanged it back to "navigation button" and the navigation bar doesn't auto-hide anymore. How do I get back the auto-hide feature? (Android 9)

    Good app for remote music lesson?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 09:01 AM PDT

    Due to the isolation most of us are facing, my piano teacher started giving remote lessons via Google Hangouts. We were both using our Android phones.

    The main problem is that the sound seems to be normalized, which is very annoying for music performance. No matter how I played, very softly or very loudly, she heard it always at the same loudness level.

    Do you know of a good alternative to Google Hangouts without this sound normalization problem? I would prefer a more realistic sound and not all these automatic sound adjustments I didn't ask for.

    I tried to search for an alternative but I haven't found anything.

    Many thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide me.

    My wallpaper keeps rotating and staying that way for a while. How do I fix this?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 08:57 AM PDT

    My wallpaper will be normal, I'll go into an app and watch a video, browse reddit, play a game, etc. When I leave the app my wallpaper is sideways. I also have a Samsung and my wallpaper is a part of a theme. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have anything I could try to help fix it? I have re-download and reapplied the theme and its still happening.

    Phone turned off and many apps won't open.

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 08:28 AM PDT

    My phone (Moto Z2 Play) completely ran out of juice yesterday and when I fully charged it, many apps wouldn't launch and I'm not getting any notifications. For example YouTube just stays on its own loading screen. I've tried resetting my phone multiple times but that doesn't help. Any ideas?

    How do I disable Samsung S6 universal switch mode without home button?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    Accidentally enabled universal switch mode on my S6, screen is disabled and a blue box keeps going around the screen.

    Unfortunately my home button isn't working, so can't disable that mode with 3 home button presses nor can't go into recovery mode to hard reset my phone?

    What options do I have to disable it/hard reset my phone? Any chance by using a computer?

    Instagram Glitch (Sony Xperia L3, Android 8.1.0)

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 06:50 AM PDT

    I'm having a weird glitch with Instagram, the first time it happened uninstalling and reinstalling the app seemed to work but that's not worked this time.

    If I go to upload a photo from my camera roll to Instagram the preview is a greyed out image, if I got to the instagram edit screen the image will show, and I can preview images from any other gallery folders, if I upload the image to my insta story and save it back to my phone it will show up as a preview.

    Changing Google play email address

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 04:14 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm looking to change my Google play email address, is there a way to do this?, I want to be able to keep all the apps I've bought but have a fresh start, over the last 25 years of my life I've acquired a lot of extra clutter in my emails, YouTube subscriptions etc and I'm thinking of just abandoning it all and starting fresh.

    What would be the best way to do this?

    Many thanks

    How do I change DNS for 4G/Mobile-Data?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 04:12 AM PDT

    Hi, I am using VPN into my home network on phone for when I am using 4G mobile data/network. However I seem to be stuck on 8.8.8.8, with no way to change that and I can't even use another one (when using eg. "dig doubleclick.net @10.1.1.33" in Termux), it just times out (android is for some reason blocking it? I don't think that's the carriers fault since my VPN is configured to route 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0). I am using WireGuard (F-droid) and set the DNS option to 10.1.1.33 (Pi-hole on home network) but that still didn't work.

    my used s5 is blocked due to a factory reset

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 11:24 PM PDT

    Hey all!

    I bought an S5 really cheap as a backup phone from my mom's exboyfriend (when they were still together though) and I never really played around with it much until today. I am more of an Apple user so I had no clue about the specifics and just factory reset it. I tried to do the setup thing but now it says that the device is locked due to unexpected reset, and that I need to log-in with the Samsung account.

    Unfortunately I don't have any sort of contact anymore so I can't ask him about the credentials. Is there any way at all to get around this?

    Also apologies if the error message wasn't accurately translated, as I picked German and can't go back to picking the language to see what it's like in English.

    Edit: I should probably clarify that it's about the Samsung account, not a google account. I googled a bit to see if I can do it and I found that often.

    Thinking of buying a dream super android phone.

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 02:32 AM PDT

    Would love to buy an android phone with the highest Ram and internal memory possible. It also has to be durable with a good battery life and a camera that can match or surpass the iPhone 11 pro max?
