    Android Questions: Phone won't stay on Do Not Disturb throughout the night


    Phone won't stay on Do Not Disturb throughout the night

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:47 AM PDT

    I'm at the end of my fucking rope here. For the past few months, I've been woken up in the morning at various times by by phone's vibrating notifications because something is causing Do Not Disturb to be turned off in the early morning.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy A50 (and a fitbit) and a starting a few months ago, I would wake up every other day because my phone would be buzzing even though I had scheduled it to be completely silent. I have tried looking this up on the internet to no avail; every post on the topic is about Do Not Disturb turning *on* on its own, not turning *off* on its own. I have tried scheduling, I have tried adjusting exceptions, I even tried turning scheduling off and forcing it to be toggled manually. No matter what I do, I wake up to buzzing and I look at the setting and Do Not Disturb has turned itself off.

    I'm so fucking tired. Please help before I have a meltdown.

    How to flash a rom without nandriod?!?!?!? help

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:13 AM PDT

    I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, that i decided to upgrade to a 7.0 rom. I am a noob at these things, and i cannot find a way to flash, i just don't know what to do and how to install the rom onto the device. I don't know how to go into twrp flash either, even tho i installed the official app. My device is already rooted, so does that take away one step? I have prepared everything , aside from nandriod or any system backup, because this device recovery does not show any option related to backup. Plz help!

    Play Store does not load app icons, screenshots or videos.

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 02:09 AM PDT

    As the title states, my Play Store seems that it is not properly functioning.

    Steps I have taken to try and fix this issue:

    • Checked several internet connections
    • Restarted phone
    • Forced stopped the Play Store app and its Services
    • Cleared the cache and data under storage
    • Updated my cellphone to the latest software

    This issue is not only on my end, but I have had a friend confirm it with two of his devices as well.

    If anyone might have some advice as what to do with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated

    Strange "message" notification, trying to find out if it is dangerous

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:59 AM PDT

    Hi, can somebody help me figure out if my phone has been infected or hacked? It is on Android 6.

    There was a notification from an unknown app, looks like some kind of messenger or sms, you can see it in the picture. Top is the notification icon, bottom is the notification itself.

    https://postimg.cc/6yL48rQY

    I have google hangouts disabled, I have had WhatsApp in the past but it is uninstalled. I have currently installed Signal, CoffeeMeetsBagel and Skype, but they have different icons. No other messaging apps. Anrdoid doesn't show any new messages (SMS).

    On the phone I browse very little and safe sites (Firefox Focus and Firefox browsers). Can this be an attack from a browser? I'm generally quite careful with permissions in apps and what I install.

    I didn't click the thing, but restarted my phone instead and it is now in airplane mode. Now the notification is gone and I can't find where it was from. There is no SMS like that on the phone. No app contains any message like this, either.

    Does the notification look like a potential danger? Any ideas what it might be? I'm hoping it's some kind of bugged spam message from one of the messaging apps but can't explain how that would happen.

    Something possibly related (or not): A few days ago I got an email with title "MMS" in my protonmail account from a number I know [number]@mms.orange.es. To me it looks like somehow I got an mms to my phone number into my email. Wtf? Or maybe I gave them the email address at some point and there's a service in Spain that does that, no idea.

    Stupid noob question, just bought a prepaid phone, if i see network bars on the screen, does that mean it already has a sim card inside?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:42 PM PDT

    I bought a prepaid phone. I see bars on the network but everytime I place a call it ends after a couple of seconds. Does the fact that i can see network bars means the sim is inside the phone, and the phone hasn't been activated for service?

    How to merge internal shared storage and internal SD card?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 07:43 AM PDT

    Image: http://prntscr.com/s59u9z

    Apps, app data and cache are stored in internal shared storage. I need them to be stored in the internal SD card (where normal files are kept) so I could have more space and use more apps.

    How can that be done?

    I am using Lineage 16.0 / Android 9.

    Moving my iTunes library to an Android device

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 07:32 AM PDT

    I'm considering switching to Android, but my biggest concern is how I can get my music on a non-iOS device without losing any of the following things:

    • Tags like album, genre, title number, etc., the files
    • Cover Art
    • Playlists (which in some cases includes thousands of songs, so making new ones isn't really feasible)
    • "Cut" songs: iTunes allows you to have a song always start and end at specific times (e.g. 0.5 seconds after the file begins and 2.4 seconds before it ends), I've done that for at least hundreds of songs over the years, so once again doing that again wouldn't be feasible

    I know there are tools for some of those things, but I would have to somehow keep all of them. Especially the "cut" things worries me.

    Does anyone know programs to help me get my music on an Android device or has done something like this themselves?

    Thanks in advance

    Easier way to upgrade my phone?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:20 AM PDT

    I was given an S7 Edge and it has Android 7 on it. I've just gone thru the: Settings->System Updates->Download Update->System Updates->Update Now->Restart

    Routine about 8 times so far and I'm STILL on Android 7. How can I just get to Android version 10 or batch update these things. This is clearly going to take a really long time and I'm not even sure if it'll get me to Android 10.

    An audio file keeps appearing in my phone storage

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    A .mp3 file titled "au_uu_SzH34yR2" keeps appearing in my storage and Play Music. However the file is empty, and by empty I mean that it has a length of 0:00, but it has a file size of 1.11 KB.

    I have deleted it several times, only for it to reappear on my phone a day or two later. Any idea where this file is being downloaded from or what I should do about it? Thanks in advance!

    I'm using a Galaxy Note 9 with Android version 10.

    Question about charging

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 06:11 AM PDT

    What do you think is better to preserve the battery : slow charge it overnight (8h) upto 100% or fast charge it but stop at 90% assuming the battery sits between 0 and 10% at the beginning ?

    most alerts not sounding

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have an OnePlus 7 Pro with Android 10, Patch level March 1, 2020 (T-Mobile USA version firmware).

    I have the alert switch set to "Ring." Volumes of "Ring volume," "Media volume" and "Alarm volume" all set to maximum. "Do not disturb" is off (but goes on automatically during typical sleeping hours).

    However, for whatever reason, except for some phone calls, I do not get audible alerts, even though the volumes are up and the switch is in "Ring" (out loud) mode. This has been happening for months and I'm really sick of missing important messages because it doesn't beep audibly.

    Can someone please help me get audible alerts going again? I have checked "Notifications" in "Settings" as well.

    I use "Textra" for my SMS app, "Signal" for other communications, and T-Mobile's "Visual Voicemail" for ... voicemail.

    Thank you!

    Android backup of all meaningful user data to PC

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    Please forgive me if this question was already answered, but I'm looking for some suggestion on how to exactly do the stated in the title.

    Family member deceased 2 years ago (father) and after that we only removed the sim and left the phone in a box.

    The phone in question is Huawei Y6 II Compact. I would like to give that phone to granma. In the past, beside standard Google backup and preinstalled Huawei backup services, I would use adb backup and TWRP or CWM backup, but that was done on my phones and they were all rooted, I had access to all the accounts and had no problem in going through the stuff on the phone.

    I have a bit of an emotional problem going through his stuff from his last days and I can't read through his things and individually backup messages, pictures, histories and accounts on the device. I'm not sure that I have his access information to all the accounts he used, his sim card is disabled; it is possible that he has written it down somewhere. In any case, I would like to backup all of his data on the phone in some form that I can, at a later time when I feel a bit more comfortable with the task, browse through on my PC and after that factory reset the device before giving to granma.

    The whole thing is a bit more emotional than it should be, but I really don't wish to lose anything from him and I also don't wish to give the granma the phone with his things, it would break her heart.

    What would you suggest? Root it, titanium or TWRP backup and move it to my PC? Can I browse through the filesystem later?

    Some other way?

    Thanks in advance.

    Red Magic 5G Conflicting Opinions

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:06 AM PDT

    So I'm currently using an iPhone 6 and I'm pretty desperate for a new phone. I don't want to wait for the ROG 3, RP3, or whatever else comes out this year. My phone is dying, and I've been an iPhone customer since 2010.

    Being a PC gamer, I figured I would look for specs first when it came to buying a new phone. I take pictures, but I'm colour blind anyways, so the camera quality isn't that important to me.

    I already ordered the Red Magic 5g 3 days ago, and I think I'm feeling some buyer's remorse. I spent almost 1000$ CAD on this thing for the 12GB version.

    All I saw for the 12h I was researching this thing on Youtube was positive reviews, but as soon as I came to Reddit instantly everything was negative. Should I cancel my order, and refund this phone in favour of an iPhone 11 Pro? The Black Shark 3 is ok, but just too big for a daily in my opinion.

    I thought the pretty numbers on the Red Magic 5g were everything, but after some research I discovered that iPhone's are still more powerful than Androids even with the smaller numbers. I was shocked. Better cameras, infrastructure, support, hardware.. I'm not hard on cash, so the extra couple hundred bucks won't eat me away. I also don't need anymore than 64GB of memory.

    I need some honest opinions...

    Is there a (root) method to restore the old OxygenOS gestures on Android 10?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    I'm referring to the old swipe up from the bottom to go home, and swipe up from either side of the bottom to go back, gestures. They were seemingly removed on newer devices on Android 10 - my OnePlus 8 Pro shipped without them.

    Is there a way to reenable them? Doesn't matter if it needs root/a Magisk module or whatever.

    Opening Links In App

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:26 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, recently I've been noticing more and more that apps I used are now promoting me to choose an external browser to open links instead of just opening them in app.

    More specifically discord and gmail. I've tried google searching fixes and it seems for discord everything is how it should be for it to work (settings/ app settings/ behavior / use chrome custom tabs) and for gmail I cant find the setting that is being said to use online (general settings/ open web links in gmail)

    For discord, even tho that is checked it still asks me to open in an external browser and for Gmail the option isnt even there.. for gmail I used to be able to open links from emails within gmail without going to an external browser but recently it stopped doing that.

    I'm running android 10 on S10+, any help? Is there a universa "force links to open in app" setting? (Doubtful on that one)

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Water damage or RAT?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:02 AM PDT

    Edit: TL;DR:. I am concerned that my phone may have been hacked with Remote Access Trojans (RAT). I have reason to be concerned for my safety.

    Hi! I hope this is nothing but I have some reason to be paranoid..

    I have an Android phone and it is being glitchy lately. I will be trying to type and suddenly the keyboard won't acknowledge my typing. Or sometimes I am playing a game and the touch screen does not work I certain spots. I usually do a factory reset when this happens.

    Yesterday at around 1pm my phone was flipping through apps super fast on it's own and the flashlight turned on by itself. I did a factory reset. Today at 8:45 am it did the same quick flicking through pages and apps and then called someone I had just recently texted tis morning.

    Could this be just water damage? Or could this be remote access Trojans?

    The reason I am concerned is a while back my sister got caught up with some very bad people involved in selling meth and online fraud. When the police called me to pick her up for her protection my camera tried to take a picture of me without me touching it and right after the call. Only some minor glitchiness preceded this event. Now it is back. But there is a possibility of a little water damage because it has been splashed a little from being next to the shower.

    There is one person affiliated with these people who is particularly interested in tracking down my sister and has started harassing me and other family to try to get her. He has called her using my phone number and sends crazy long texts that imply threat. He's also a meth head.

    In mid March all the cars parked in front and behind my mom's house had their tires slashed the day before she was supposed to drive my sister somewhere.

    A week and a half ago my personal Google account was hacked and I got a notification so I changed the password. Two days later I got another notification that my work Gmail account was hacked on the same day. So I changed my password again. I called the police and they advised me to change my Google passwords again and I did. The police seem to not be able to do much. And I don't know how paranoid I should be. I read an article from PC magazine saying the software for androids is really easy to get.

    If my Google account has been compromised, does this mean I can still be tracked/ hacked again when I recover backed up info after a factory reset?

    If you're still here, thanks for my rambling.

    New android for Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet (Lenovo 1050L)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 08:58 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,
    I just found a lenovo yoga tablet that is pretty old (it's like a 2013/14 device) and I would like to install a more modern android on it just for fun, maybe then it's gonna be usable for something, cuz the android 4 it runs is just bad as shit.
    BUT
    This thing runs on an intel atom. So what options do I have? is there any launcher that would work on it? How modern version can I expect to run on it? Would android 10 be possible? Or maybe are there some light weight versions of windows I could use on it?

    Did magnetic cable wreck my battery? (Blackview X90)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 07:15 AM PDT

    I recently got a new phone, and another magnetic cable to go with it, all went fine since few days ago when the cable started screwing up, working only at certain angle, suddenly i check AccuBattery and it's down to 87% capacity, weird, i go out to work, come back, charge my phone to 80% and it's suddenly 73%, i charge it again later and now it's 64%, this has never happened to me before? Has anyone else encounter this? May it be the phone batterys' fault instead of the charger?

    SCP Android app with hardware key support (Yubikey i. e.)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 06:48 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    hope the flavor is correct. I'm looking for a SCP client which supports hardware security keys for authentication such as a Yubikey in this case.

    I have an private ssh keypair on a Yubikey.

    A very well working SSH client who supports keys such as Yubikey, do I already own (TermBot).

    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance Eurobertics
