    How to keep screen off when phone charging?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:51 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Weird issue i'm not sure this is even doable. But I have a vertical wireless charger on my desk and when I place my phone on it the screen turn on to show it is charging and also turns on face ID unlocking the phone because it is facing me.

    This means every time I want to charge my phone I have to press the power button after i place my phone on the charger.

    Is there a way to keep the phone in sleep mode when plugin in or activating wireless charging?

    Huge chrome site storage

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 12:13 PM PDT

    I own 1+7t android 10. I opened clear storage for chrome and there was an option to manage site data. Perpperfy, an online store for furniture was occupying 3.6 GB of data.

    The second website in that list was occupying only 87 MB of data. Why was this website occupying so much data. I only opened it few times to check price of furniture. Also the website is well known in India.

    Gboard is f***ing blocking offensive words

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 05:45 PM PDT

    This just only recently started happening. There's two settings which block offensive words, one in the Gboard app settings, and one on Android's own settings, I've toggled them both off, but it's still f****** blocking offensive words.

    Am I missing a f****** setting somewhere?

    Best Titanium Backup alternative for Android 10?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 12:43 PM PDT

    I have a rooted Galaxy S9+ running a custom Android 10 ROM (One UI 2.1) and I am looking for apps similar to Titanium Backup, which hasn't been working properly for me since Android 10 was released (maybe even earlier as well).

    I am aware that there are apps like "Super Backup Pro" but these only backup the apps (APKs) if I am not mistaken, and I am looking for an app that will restore app + data (saved login, app preferences, etc.)

    I used CWM's Helium Backup in the past but it doesn't seem to work on Android 10, at least not for me.

    Note: I use Smart Switch to backup everything (SMS, call logs, home screen settings, etc.) but as I said, I need something that will restore the app's data as well.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you for your time

    Unknown app in battery usage stats!

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    I am going through my battery usage stats after a heavy usage and found something interesting, screenshot here.

    I've checked the installed apps in settings -> Apps & notifications -> All apps and found no app on that name. Wondering what that could be. If it is malicious in any way, any help to remove is highly helpful. Thanks.

    Screen colors have gone wonky

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if this fits here but, my 2 year old Galaxy S8's screen colors started spazzing out today. Everything has gotten a very green hue to it, including blacks. There's even a little flickering occasionally and some weird shadows have appeared for a few seconds.

    Anyone know what this means/how to fix it? I think I'm going to try factory resetting 📷

    video quality RGB32>RGB16>YUV, performance in reverse order?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:33 AM PDT

    VLC and other video players have 3 chroma format options. Its description does says RGB16 is faster but of low-quality than RGB32. But as for YUV, it only says it is fastest but may not be supported or experimental. So, what about the video quality of YUV? Is RGB32 the best quality or YUV?

    I'm New to All this. an app i'm wanting to use requires a built-in Compass and an accelerometer. i assume these are hardware. is there any alternatives?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    After twenty years using a flip-phone, I've grudgingly been forced to upgrade due to "technology." So I'm still learning.

    Obviously a "built-in compass" must be hardware, and I also assume that other thing. I don't know if they're installed or not and don't know how to check. I am using a ZTE on Verizon, by the way. But if the app says they're not there, I guess they aren't.

    This may be like asking if I can download RAM, but maybe there's an alternative? I just wanna look at stars. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Hyperlinks Not Working in Gmail/Messenger

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:42 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    trying to help my father troubleshoot an issue he has had with his phone. I tried looking at it and browsing the internet for answers, but no luck.

    Any hyperlink that is sent to him either via Gmail or Messenger do not open. Clicking it makes a quick flash of an app opening sometimes, but nothing actually opens. Holding the link and trying to pick what to do with the hyperlink also does not work. I tried checking the usual suspects in the settings, but all settings are on that should be. Any help would be appreciated!

    If my phone has 1TB of storage, 8GB of RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 (I hear it's more powerful than a Intel Core i5), and it's a 64bit arm architecture, then why can't it run Windows?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:36 AM PDT

    My computer has 4th the storage, the same amount of RAM, a Core i5, and it's also 64bit, but it can run Windows. What's the hold up? Is it lack of apps utilizing the newer, more powerful hardware, It is it a political issue (licensing etc) or the wrong architecture? BTW, this phone can run Linux (or could, until Samsung killed Linux on Dex).

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:35 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with the latest MiUI. Recently, the messenger chat heads (bubble) keep opening themselves randomly (normally they only appear as bubbles, but now they automatically open the whole chat screen as if I touched the bubble). I did't remember changing any settings. Any help?

    USB hub question

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:01 AM PDT

    I'd like to connect an Android phone/tablet to both an external hard drive (standard 2.5" usb drive which only has a usb lead and no power socket, usually plugged into a desktop/laptop) and also another device's usb port (a DAC in this case but probably not important). I was thinking that maybe I could get a powered usb hub, and an adaptor so that I could connect the phone to the hub (as the "main device") then connect the hd and the dac to the hub. Would this work? It would be perpetually charging the phone/tablet, powering the hd and allowing the DAC to receive audio data from the phone.

    Access Data on Broken Phone?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:52 AM PDT

    My old Moto G5s plus had its screen cracked, and after failing to repair the glass, I had to order replacement LCD screens. None of them worked. The phone vibrates indicating it still works but the screen is black. The sd card inside is 128GB and there was a lot of data on it that I don't want to delete. The SD card is specifically formatted for the phone itself, so I can't see it on any other device.

    How can I access my phone's data and storage without using the screen? I have access to a mac and windows computer if needed.

    Suggestions for buying: Samsung Galaxy S20+ (512 GB - Snapdragon) or One Plus 8 Pro (256 GB)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:47 AM PDT

    I am planning to change my current phone (Asus) which I have been using for almost 5 years. I am planning to go for either the Samsung Galaxy S20+ (512 GB - Snapdragon) or One Plus 8 Pro (256 GB).

    Which one do you think I should go for? I am planning to use it for around 5 years.

    Concerns I have regarding the One Plus 8 Pro:

    ● Storage - Since I am planning to use the phone for around 5 years or so; I am concerned about having 256 GB and no SD card slot.

    ● I love customizing. Saw online how you could customise using Samsung's One UI + Good Lock . Wondering if I will be able to do the same level of customisation using Oxygen OS?

    [Side Note: I have no prior real experience with either UI's]

    Thanks in advance.

    What's considered a good representation for android in 2020? assuming you need to consume one hour

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:07 AM PDT

    EDIT: I meant presentation.

    I had to choose a presentation with my final project. I built an android app and I need to make a one hour presentation.

    I really don't want it to be boring .

    The main thing I know I must contain is an app that the other side could see via a shared screen, so I will use android studio to build a very simple app that will show operation of the main components of android.

    What do you think I must contain in the presentation ? I need to assume the other side don't know anything about android and at the end they need to feel motivated getting into android.

    How do I use Your Phone Companion - Link to Windows?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:57 AM PDT

    I opened it on my PC and it gave me a QR code to scan, but my phone has no app that can use the information in the QR code. When I search my apps, nothing comes up. When I view the app in the Google Play store, uninstall updates is the only option. I uninstalled the updates and reinstalled them, but that didn't fix it. I restarted my phone and the open button was there, but clicking it made it disappear and nothing opened. When I try to follow the link in Google Chrome to the Google Play Store, no app is found to open the URL.

    I have a Galaxy S9+ and the newest version of Android (10).
