    Android Questions: Reminder prompt not coming up when trying to create a reminder from the search bar


    Reminder prompt not coming up when trying to create a reminder from the search bar

    Posted: 07 May 2020 07:12 AM PDT

    Tried to create a reminder from the search bar today and it's just acting like a normal search, no reminder prompt. Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

    It works with voice by tapping the microphone icon, but not with text.

    Any way to change my mouse cursor without rooting my phone?

    Posted: 07 May 2020 09:54 AM PDT

    I'm trying to use a graphics tablet with my phone (LG stylo 5), but I'm finding it difficult to draw because I'm more used to having a crosshair cursor in art programs. I think this is probably a lost cause because the only app I've found that promises to accomplish this requires xposed framework. Any ideas?

    App updates disappear? Anyone else having this issue?

    Posted: 07 May 2020 05:53 AM PDT

    When you have an app update it tells you underneath how much mb space it takes up I've noticed that a few apps dont show this. The app updates that dont show how much mb it needs underneath the updates disappear after a few hours. Anyone else having this issue?

    App Insights backend, sdk, game engine website

    Posted: 07 May 2020 08:00 AM PDT

    I found a website yesterday that provide a great amount of detail on applications available for android but now I can't seem to find it in my browsing history. It provided info on an app's engine, backend, ad platforms, analytics, sdk version, firebase, etc. I am wondering if anyone knows a website that provides information on what AD platform is used, what game engine is used, and other information involving insights that makes up an android application that could help give me a good idea on how to develop applications for certain uses. I know this may not be the most conventional question but I would appreciate any help with regards to this. I know such a website could also be helpful for others who are in need of learning what could be utilized for certain scenarios involving making android applications. Thank you.

    realme 6 Wifi Problems

    Posted: 07 May 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    Problem:
    The phone stays connected throughout, but perpetually the connection will get extremely bad, to the point that nothing will load at all sometimes, other times it just becomes really really slow (like 3mbs, down from expected 40). Then it fixes itself after a while, rinse and repeat. This does not happen on other devices (for example, my old phone).

    Context:
    It occurs independently of location, as I live in a small studio apartment I'm always right next to the router (and it does show that I have a perfect connection in the upper right corner at all times). I also live alone, so slowdowns from someone else downloading something could not be the cause. Not to mention the wifi works perfectly fine on my old phone while the new one is struggling (again, same location).

    What I've tried:
    Well basically everything. Resetting the phone, resetting the router, using a static IP adress, various settings on the router. All to no effect.

    Any ideas? Maybe the wifi chip is just broken but then it would be weird that it does work sometimes...

    Another "What's this notification icon?" post I'm afraid

    Posted: 07 May 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    I'm struggling to find what the left-most icon here is referring to.

    There's nothing mentioned when I swipe down the notifications and tapping on it does nothing. Ive searched various on-line lists of icons with no luck.

    It appeared a couple of days ago, and I don't remember installing or changing anything around that time, but I'm probably just unobservant and didn't notice it for a while.

    Device is a Sony Xperia Z5C phone.

    Data recovery

    Posted: 07 May 2020 01:43 PM PDT

    Hi, as someone who is feeling quite low I'm anxious about asking for help since I know I'm an idiot for not backing my phone up. I tried to update my phone. It's been over a year since the last update. There had already been errors with not being able to update the software. I hooked my Galaxy S8+ up to my PC and used Smart Switch which left me on boot loop. I ended up having to factory reset it. I've used a bunch of apps to try and recover even a couple of photos and there's nothing.

    I'm not sure what exact information is needed, but the model number is SM-G955F with android version 9. I just really need this to not be permanent. I'm looking to recover pictures, videos, voice recordings, phone calls, contacts, basically everything.

    Disable Swipe up for apps?

    Posted: 07 May 2020 05:43 AM PDT

    So i bought a new phone which has Android 9 and now swipe up brings me to the Apps page. This is super annoying for me, since i don't swipe very accurately to the left/right when changing the page, so now i keep going into my apps page even if i don't want to. Any way to disable it? I found a way to re-enable the button for the apps page, but the swipe gesture is still used too. Phone is a Samsung Galaxy M30s.

    Apps crash when Wi-Fi is on

    Posted: 07 May 2020 12:55 PM PDT

    So there are some apps on my phone that would just freeze and crash when I try to open them while I'm connected to a Wi-Fi connection , as soon as I turn my Wi-Fi off the app works fine. All of the apps worked fine when I first installed them. I have tried clearing cache and data but it didn't work. What do I do ? ( Android 7.1.1 ) Thanks in advance ,

    Edit : Google play hadn't been working for a while it just kept loading and said " connection timed out " do I tried using a VPN , Google play worked and the problem above was solved ! The apps don't crash anymore ,Google play still doesn't work without VPN though

    Flashing ROM for Wristec Max Smart Watch

    Posted: 07 May 2020 12:51 PM PDT

    So I pulled the trigger and bought one of these smartwatches today, and the only thing I don't like about it is that it currently runs android 7, which is pretty outdated.

    With it being a quad core with 3gb ram it appears capable of running Android 10, but a) there are custom ROMs which may be a better fit, and b) it's a watch so not everything would work the same as with a phone.

    So I was hoping if someone has experience with this watch (or similar ones like the LEMFO), if they had a recommendation as to which ROM would suit best?

    Thanks

    Messenger video virus?

    Posted: 07 May 2020 08:45 AM PDT

    My mom is adamant that she keeps getting sent virus via facebook messenger videos that are breaking her phone causing it to not work properly.

    I know that linking your facebook account to apps and sites can cause you to send messages without sending them and such, but cant find anything online about videos bricking phones. She lives to far away for me to check the phone itself.

    All i can find about android viruses require apps to be installed onto the phone

    Does anyone have any info?

    What is the most optimal way to organize photos on my Android device?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 07:38 PM PDT

    Hello everybody! I'm going to pose an extremely hard-to-describe issue that I would love to hear experienced input on how to solve. This will probably take many words. Please stick with me!

    Preface: I switched from iOS (after four years) to Android with the Pixel 2. Used the Pixel 2 for two years, loved it, and have upgraded to the Pixel 4 recently. Here is where problems came to a head.

    Handling photos on Android seems a bit more complicated than iOS. With iOS, you either take a picture or save an image and it goes to your camera roll. From there, it can be willingly or automatically uploaded to any app or cloud of your desire (at least, from what I remember). Google Photos strikes me as counter intuitive in that regard, because it is first and foremost a cloud photo storage that also happens to be the photo viewer for the device. This is where I run into my problems.

    For my Pixel 2, it was easy enough because every photo I take was saved locally, as well as any image I downloaded. Uploaded to the cloud was the afterthought. Now that I've upgraded to the Pixel 4, and transferred my photo collection through Google Photos, things have gotten weird.

    - When posting on social media, I am only offered locally stored photos to choose from. This includes images taken by my phone camera and images I have downloaded. If I want to post a photo from Google Photos (especially in a multi-picture post) I have to find it in Google Photos, tap download, and then it is available. However, lets say this photo is from two years ago. It doesn't appear in my camera roll timeline as being from two years ago, it is now a brand new image at the top of my camera roll, as if I had just taken it. Now I effectively have two versions of the same image, effectively defeating the purpose of the timeline. What is the best way to navigate this issue?

    - Device folders vs. Albums. In my mind, if I wanted to collect a series of photos, I would put them in an album. Then, say I wanted to make a post or quickly upload photos from that album, I would reach into that album and select those photos. But albums seem to be stored in the cloud? So in order to post an image from an album, I need to collect photos to be put into an album, upload them into an album, and then download them from that album at a later time? This seems like too many steps. What am I missing here? My next thought would then be to use device folders as albums, but I don't even know if you can make device folders and choose what goes into them. When I get a new app that manages photos, why does it have to dump its contents into a new device folder? Why can't it go into the camera roll? IS there a camera roll? Help!!

    r/AndroidQuestions , what am I missing here? Is my setup wrong? Am I using the wrong apps? What's the solution? After three years on Android, I'm a firm believer in the master race. However, this sort of confusion is starting to make me second guess!

    Thanks in advance

    I want to erase my data remotely.

    Posted: 07 May 2020 12:17 PM PDT

    I have a Redmi Note 8 that was recently stolen. I would like to remotely erase the content on the phone. I don't plan on trying to recover the phone. I used the Find My Device website to locate the device but it kept saying "can't reach device". Can I erase it remotely regardless? In a way that it'll erase as soon as it connects to the Internet?

    Apps moved to sd card not working

    Posted: 07 May 2020 08:22 AM PDT

    I seemed to have screwed myself. My phone was telling me it was running out of storage space, so I went to see if I could move anything to the sd card, since it had plenty of space. I moved messenger, Zynga poker, Ebay & one other. Afterward, the apps' shortcut became grayed out & when clicked on said "app not available". I thought, okay, u must not be able to have those on the sd card. So I deleted them & tried reinstalling, but when I do that it automatically sends them to the place they're most recently assigned, external storage (sd). Plus, after reinstalling I can click on an apps storage & TRY to send it from the sd card back to internal storage, but it tells me that there's not enough space, which is malarky, because I freed up like 7 of the 31 gigs deleting pics & videos. Im at a loss, & am about to try a factory reset, but 1. Im not sure that will help anything & 2. Im not sure if that will hurt anything. I have an lg stylo 4, of which I really have no other complaints, I just seemed to have entered a closed loop of some sort. If I could find a setting that enables me to toggle where downloaded apps go by default, that might help, but I see no such option anywhere.

    Help with MIUI 10

    Posted: 07 May 2020 08:18 AM PDT

    I tried sending apk files via shareit from another phone (Not xiaomi/redmi) to redmi 6a miui 10.

    APK file can't install.

    It says APPNAME (-113)

    Reason:

    Other

    This is china rom phone. Google play store and google services I installed are fine and can install apps, but i need some apk to install.

    Please tell me where in settings do I need to change because I already looked everywhere. This is my mom's phone. Install from unknown sources is enabled and it's not the issue. It just fails to install.

    If this is really miui, then it might be the last xiaomi redmi phone we will ever buy.

    If not, again, please tell where in settings is the fix for this issue.

    Cannot find Play Store data on new phone

    Posted: 07 May 2020 11:59 AM PDT

    I switched to a Galaxy S20 Ultra from a Moto Z Play. SOME apps have all their data and purchases I made already on them, while others such as Plants vs Zombies 2 have lost all their data. I've tried clicking on the Play Store icon to retrieve my data, but it's not given me the correct data. Any help?

    What game engine does Google use for the built in games on Google Play Games?

    Posted: 07 May 2020 08:03 AM PDT

    Basically what the title says. I have tried finding information detailing what they use as far as game engine for their solitaire, cricket, minesweeper, and other games, to no avail.

    Custom DNS for tethered or hotspotted Devices

    Posted: 07 May 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    I am trying to setup a hotspot on my phone to use a custom DNS. I have set the DNS on the phone under Private DNS (works perfect ON the phone) but it seems whenever a device is tethered it ignores anything that is setup on the phone and uses the mobile network's default DNS. I also do not see a way to set the DNS for the hotspot.

    Bluetooth headphones ringing when in Do Not Disturb

    Posted: 07 May 2020 10:20 AM PDT

    I've been sleeping with headphones playing whitenoise, and recently upgraded to Bluetooth headphones (bedphones) that are better to sleep with. I love them, theres just one problem.

    When the phone is set to do not disturb, and I get a call before I want to wake up, the default BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP of the headphones plays in my ear. There's no notifications on my phone to end the call immediately. What the hell.

    After doing some research, I find that this is a pretty common Bluetooth issue, the phone sending the signal to the BT device even when in DND. What I haven't found is a solution, or a work around, or an app to stop this obnoxious behavior other than putting my phone on airplane mode every night.

    motog7, bedphones.
