    Custom Rom depends on Variant

    Posted: 04 May 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    Are there custom roms for specific storage variant of a android?

    I.e. Can I install a custom rom in both 32/64GB variant of same model

    Why Custom Roms are always better than stock? Stock developers have big team and Custom Rom made small amount of people.

    Twitter Custom Emojis won't work

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    Recently i had to download an older version of twitter so i could enable my worldwide trends again, but after that i uninstalled it and installed the current one from the play store, however since then the custom emojis that twitter has wont show up, even if i activate the setting necessary on the Display Settings.

    I'm working with a Xiaomi Redmi 8, and the Twitter Emojis worked perfectly until yesterday when i had to get my worldwide trends back. Could there be some Setting or something preventing the app from displaying them?

    Photos disappeared after “upload”

    Posted: 04 May 2020 08:06 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I had an issue last week and asked for help here, I thought it was fixed but I was wrong.

    1. Found an old phone that wouldn't start after going for a 1sec swim on vacation
    2. Plugged it in and boom it powered up normally
    3. Thought I'd be able to recover 300 vaca pics of my kids
    4. Photos app worked and upload appeared to work
    5. Now have all my current photos backed up to device, but can't find the 300 photos on other devices (or pc) running google photos
    6. The 300 photos are now just grey boxes in the Photos app on the old phone.

    Could someone offer some advice, please? I am crestfallen.

    Thank you.

    https://m.imgur.com/a/tCEL0a4

    So my SD card(SanDisk 16gb) has about 14gb of some unknown files. I checked whether they were data or obb files of an app, but they weren't.

    I need to know how do I view these files. I have tried a couple file browsers but they don't tell me what are those files. My device is running on Android 9 (MIUI 11) Thanks in advance

    ELI5: Removing bloatware from fire 7?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:34 AM PDT

    My sister claimed my niece's tablet bricked and has "100 apps" installed.

    Holy shit does this thing have a lot of bloatware. I googled ADB commands or whatever and have no idea what I'm looking at. I don't know how to root the device.

    Is there an idiot proof guide so I don't blow something up?

    Or maybe a cheap stock android tablet around $40 for roblox/pets thing/netflix?

    Gboard autorecording Audio on Instagram DM

    Posted: 03 May 2020 09:07 PM PDT

    If I'm in my DMs and writing and I tip my phone Instagram begins recording audio. Is this an issue with Instagram or because I'm using gboard? I can't find a setting on Instagram to stop this so I'm thinking it's a gboard issue any help would be amazing.

    Need some help with broken A51

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    Tech Gurus of Reddit! I need your help! I recently dropped my new Samsung A51 in water accidentally. I tried my best to dry it out, used rubbing alcohol etc. It's 2 days on and the system works but the screen is broken. When I plug it in, it makes the charging sound and the screen sometimes comes on but the touch screen isn't working whatsoever. I have a new A51 due to arrive tomorrow but I need to transfer my files (media, contacts etc) to my new device. I know Samsung have smart switch however I am unable to access my phone as the screen doesn't work so that option isn't available. I have tried various online downloads to retrieve data but non of them support my device as it's fairly new. I have logged into my google account on my laptop but my files aren't there so I assume they haven't been backed up. I also don't own a hdmi Samsung cable. I am absolutely desperate to recover my media, contacts and potentially apps. If the system is working, surely there has to be a way to recover the data. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Bluetooth and WiFi stops working on Xcover 4 (SM-G390F)

    Posted: 04 May 2020 01:47 AM PDT

    Hi!

    Bluetooth and WiFi stops working a few times a week on my Galaxy Xcover 4 (SM-G390F). I have used the phone for some 18 months and the first (stock) firmware had this problem. The first firmware upgrade I did fixed it and I was very happy with that. Sadly, the subsequent update brought the issue back again and no newer upgrades have fixed it. The symptoms are that bluetooth and WiFi get deactivated for no reason. It can be deactivated after a good night's sleep or it can break in the middle of a call (I use BT headsets a lot). When the problem is ongoing, looking in the swipe down menu (the one where you have round, blue icons showing the status of WiFi, Bluetooth and so on), Bluetooth is no longer activated and shows a gray icon instead of a blue. Also, the WiFi icon is actually blue, but WiFi is not working. If I press the WiFi icon (to switch it off), it turns gray, and if I then click it again, it turns light blue briefly (trying to start WiFi) but instead of then turning solid blue, it goes back to gray and is not activated. Entering flight mode and exiting it does not fix the problem. The only way to fix this that I have found is to reboot the phone. I have reinstalled the phone from factory defaults with no luck.

    Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

    Best regards,

    /Fredrik

    Would like to setup live transcribe on my Nan's Samsung A50 for transcribe phone calls live so she can speak to her family in Australia, her hearing os so bad she cannot speak on the phone but her eyesight and reading ability is perfect, HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 01:26 PM PDT

    Thanks in advance.

    I am sure Google said this will be possible at the Google IO in 2019 when they presented the release of live captions.

    It's awesome to see it's finally here.

    It's just the main use for hard of hearing people would be which are generally people who are elderly, would not be for watching YouTube and movies on their phone which my Nan doesn't do, but to speak to their loved ones and have a live captions of what they are saying.

    Just not sure how to do this though, I have the app but how do I make this work?

    Thanks guys!!

    Setting Default Launcher

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:26 PM PDT

    Help! Longtime lurker, very infrequent poster so I apologize in advance if somehow the formatting is quite screwed up.

    I'm using a Samsung S8 Active. I have used Nova Launcher for many years over several phones and am very happy with it. Within the last day, most times that I hit the home button I am greeted with a prompt asking which launcher I'd like to use, Nova or One UI Home. Every time I select always Nova.

    This is a very recent issue and I cannot correlate it to any specific update or change. I've scoured the settings and can't seem to locate the source of the problem. Any suggestions?

    The Messages app notifications are not working properly

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    The Messages app notifications are not working properly. I receive text messages and no sound. Notifications are turned on and volume is up.

    Right now I have to click on each individual contacts conversation, go to details, and select a sound individually for each person. The sound is set to "none" for each person despite all notifications being on.

    How to disable "Share" activity intent OS-wide ?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:09 AM PDT

    I want to disable activity intent to share buttons in all applications. It's the function that I will never use and I am uncomfortable that I may press unintentionally button combination to share some bullshit I didn't wanted. It already happened multiple times that I unintentionally opened share intent window and it was one click from sending it to contact.

    This function is absolute trash and I cannot understand why devs thinks that everyone would enjoy having it in every application and every activity.

    For example then I press share button unintentional, contact of my university lecturer appears as suggestion (because university mail logged-in in phone). Obviously I don't want to send that. And there is no, do you really want to do that pop-up. Absolute evil.

    What in gob's name does it take to get my android to auto-mount to trusted computers?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:03 PM PDT

    I've had too many phones have screens die then, because the new phones don't have removable memory cards, any photos or other important data is lost forever. Stuff I could access if it would only auto-mount. I'd be ok if there was a way to get it to auto-transfer photos and videos when plugged in, but there can't be ANY prompt, confirmation, or menu control - it has to just GO.

    Note, I'm aware that Google photos is a thing, but that's completely off the table. I don't want my photos going online. What can I do? Is there a solution that meets my needs? 100 points plus if you know a way to get the computer to mount the phone as a USB like they used to do with earlier Android phones.

    How to automate Turning bluetooth on and Off at a certain Time?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:02 PM PDT

    So there are plenty of ways (i.e. via different apps) to automate something.

    I once downloaded such an app 2 years ago or so but honestly did not get it to work. Could someone please point me to a good guide on how I could automate

    • turn on Bluetooth at 5 pm from mondays to fridays (if it isn't on yet) and

    • turn off bluetooth at 10 pm from mondays to friday (if it isn't off yet)? :)

    Another plus would be to start a certain app (Mi Fit) 1 minute before 5 pm.

    Snapchat glinch?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 11:47 AM PDT

    A friend I've been talking to recently stopped opening my messages. It's been a week now. I've sent a few messeges but it just says delivered but i read somewhere that it could be a glinch. They're active and their snapscore is continuously increasing. It can be that they are legitimately ghosting. But i read somewhere that few users are going through same thing and it's only happening to the people they're talking to the most. Which happens to be my case too. Any advice

    Help identifying this icon and what it's for.

    Posted: 04 May 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    Hello, everyone. Over the past few weeks I have been seeing this notification icon on my always on display but it disappears when I unlock my phone to view the notification. It looks like some kind of cloud back up icon but I don't know what it's backing up. And seeing how it's red I'm assuming it means that there's something having trouble backing up. I've checked my accounts section in the settings but I can't tell if there are any issues with any accounts in that list. It's a Galaxy S8 plus on T-Mobile. I have tried using the extension for Good Lock called NotiStar but it doesn't show up there, unfortunately. I haven't noticed any significant changes or anything different about my phone since I started seeing that icon.

    Any help identifying this icon would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Galaxy A51 - Can't hard reset (forgot pattern)

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:44 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, first time posting here.

    My girlfriend got an A51 recently, first hand and everything, nothing fishy. The thing is, she took a while to migrate from her previous phone and when she's now forgotten the new pattern he created for this new phone.

    I've been looking everywhere for solutions but apparently you can just hard reset it. That's not an issue since her old phone still has all her information but... We simply can't get to that point.

    • If I hold the power button, Bixby tries to startup (and I can't change that without unlocking the phone.
    • If I hold Volume Up + Power, nothing happens
    • If I hold Volume Down + Power, after a while the phone restarts but normally, no boot menu.

      • If I keep holding the button, it just keeps restarting but no boot menu.

    Can someone explain me what to do? Is there a way to do it, maybe plugging it to my computer or so?

    Thank you!

    Transfer files with a broken screen (Samsung J5)

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:43 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I recently broke the screen of my Samsung Galaxy J5 and I'm trying to transfer the files on the internal memory.

    I've already tried:

    - Regular Windows Explorer
    - Samsung Smart Switch
    - Samsung Dex

    The problem with all those methods is: when connecting the phone to the computer via the micro USB cable I'm facing 2 problems:
    - The phone is locked, which could potentially be unlocked via fingerprint but it doesn't work.

    - The PC needs permission from the phone to connect which I obviously can't accept because the screen doesn't work.

    I've tried attaching an OTG cable so I can add a mouse to control the phone, but nothing seem to work.

    Is there anyway with software to bypass the security and accept the transfer of files?

    Quick Share duplicate

    Posted: 04 May 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    When I searched up "Quick Share" on Settings, I saw two different versions.

    One is the app that was automatically installed from the Galaxy Store.

    The other one seems to be an older version(Ver 1.0.11.61) with a different logo

    • It seems like a pre installed or system account(doesn't show where it was downloaded)
    • Cant delete, I only force stopped it
    • Permissions = Contacts, Location, Storage, Appear On Top, Change System Settings, Notifications.(the first three cant be changed)
      • App storage = 4.15MB Cache & Data ~ 60KB
      • Battery shows 0m on both Active and Bg use(the other app had 1m for active use)
      • When I searched up the name with the version, I saw apk downloads of the app

    Is this a virus that someone installed in my phone or is it just an app that was installed by the update.

    Help getting into my locked Motorola MB809 phone. DESPERATE

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:36 AM PDT

    Android/Motorola MB809

    No SD card

    My old smartphone is locked. I tried too many attempts in drawing the pattern and now I have to enter my gmail UN/PW. Unfortunately my email isn't attached to this phone anymore so that's a no go.

    On my old smartphone does it save the password I had at that time? Would I need to enter that password since my current correct gmail password doesnt work?

    I've tried many different programs I found online and it bugs and wont work. Even tried a program to root my phone before trying one of the programs.

    There's pictures of deceased friends/relatives on this phone and I desperately need to get them.

    Someone please help ):
