| 1st Smartphone for my 70 yr old Mom! Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:24 AM PDT My mom has been scared to get a smart phone for many years. She's had her old one for over a decade, and it's extremely outdated now! (It has a slide out keyboard lol) She's turning 70 and I need to get her an easy one to figure out. I'll be there to help, but she has memory issues and brain fog, so I believe an easy to use phone will be the most important part. I've looked up a few but I am so lost. Reviews I've read don't exactly have her in mind... Originally, I saw good things about the One Plus 7t, but it seems as though it's going to be hard to find a case and she drops her phone a lot. She liked the pretty One Plus 8, but it had mixed reviews and I'd hate to get something that doesn't work well because it's "pretty" =) We don't have 5G around us either. She likes our Galaxy S8 actives but they aren't available any longer. Other phones available for our carrier and small budget are: Revvlry+, Galaxy A20, Moto G7 Power, LG Stylo 5 or K51. Any ideas on which is durable and/or intuitive for a 70 yr old newbie? Thank you so much for your time and opinions. If this is the wrong place to ask for advice/help I sincerely apologize.

| Sharing photos from Google Photos to Drive and Gmail disconnects my Wi-Fi. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:19 PM PDT I'm clueless as to what to do. My phone is Xiaomi Mi A2 with completely stock Android 9 Pie. The problem is that whenever I try to share an image from Google Photos to my Gmail account the internet connection completely drops out (the phone automatically disconnects from my home network) and I get a "Syncing mail..." notification in the status bar which stays there forever and I have to restart my device. The next issue is when I try to upload a photo to my Drive account. The wi-fi connection drops out and Drive is basically stuck forever at "Uploading files...". I updated both apps, cleared data and cache, removed my Google account and then added it again but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced anything like that? Any help is appreciated!

| Looking for (another) new custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy note 5 (SM-920T) Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:15 PM PDT Hello, I'm back again, still looking for a good custom ROM. As the title states, I am on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM-920T. The ROM I currently have is an unofficial build of LineageOS 16, which unfortunately broke my mobile data. My last resort is my phone's stock ROM, but otherwise I'm looking for some good custom ROM suggestions that have huge customization capabilities, but there are an intimidating amount and I'm not sure what to choose.

| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:02 PM PDT I connected my headphones to my phone with a mic and audio splitter and bam my mic is picking up every little thing in existence, is there a way to fix this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:02 PM PDT My biggest turn-off from podcasts is that the audio mixing is usually bad. Even the most well-produced podcast seem to have dynamic problems. Can I add a compressor or limiter to my phone, which I can control, while I'm streaming podcasts? I stream to a lot of different devices, so I'm mainly interested in a digital tool for my phone specifically. For those of you not familiar with compression or limiting, simply they are audio tools to make louder and softer noises more equal while listening. [link] [comments] |
| Android s20, or usb c problem? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 11:52 AM PDT I just bought a galaxy s20 and using the provided headphones, my music started turning down on its own. I rebooted phone and the problem stopped for an hour. But now it keeps stopping my music and asks if I want to use google assist or Bixby. I think it keeps trying to activate the microphone? I tried turning off permissions for mic, etc but nothing it keeps pausing my music and asking to turn on google assistant. Has anyone had this issue and solved it? [link] [comments] |

| I want to be able to type "email" and my actual email to pop up, how do I do this? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 11:29 AM PDT |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 11:24 AM PDT Title. Sometimes it'll show a "this site can't be reached" page with back & reload buttons too. Pixel 3aXL on AT&T is what I'm using. This doesn't happen when I'm using data. Only wifi. My partner also has a 3aXL and it's been happening to her too. Think it could be an internet issue instead? [link] [comments] |

| Is there a way to uninstall apps from playstore web? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:47 AM PDT My dad's phone has less than 5mb left and as result has become unusable. The phone boots but the launcher or any other app doesn't run. The settings menu is accessible, but so far it hasn't allowed to uninstall apps or delete data. Tried doing factory reset and wiping user data but the it gave operation failed error both times. How can i clear some space so that it becomes just about usable to delete data. The phone is Redmi prime 2 if that helps. Thanks in Advance [link] [comments] |

| Sending phone off for repair, need help backing up files Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:13 AM PDT Posted originally in r/android before realising that isn't the place for tech support questions So I recently completely ruined my phone screen, it's just unusable. I'm about to send it off for repair and they say that I need to completely remove all pass-codes and what-not for them to be able to repair it and that I should backup any data I need as my phone will be reset during the process. The problem is that I can't get any of my files off my phone because I need to use my phone to select what I'm using the USB for my computer for and since my screen is completely broken I can't press the file transfer option and so my computer won't read it. I also can't then remove my passcode for the same reason. Is there anyway I can at least get my files onto my computer without having to press the USB prompt on my phone? I'm using a Samsung A40 [link] [comments] |
| Why does 'Adaptive Power Saving' turn itself off? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:09 AM PDT When I restart my s10, for whatever reason, my Adaptive Power Saving is always switched back off? Anyone know what causes this or how to avoid this happening? [link] [comments] |
| Why is my google timeline showing me at this address? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:57 AM PDT I have been going to a very small park/playground in my neighborhood recently that has houses surrounding the area. Each time I've been going there recently, my google timeline from my phone glitches and shows that my location instead at one of the surrounding houses of the park (it' shows I visited the same house each time). Now, I haven't been over to that person's house in about a year or two ago and back then I clearly had location history turned off because nothing shows on my timeline during that time. My question is why would my location on timeline at the park glitch and show me at that house specifically if I never had location tracking on when I had been over there in the past? There are other houses by the park that are closer than this one and so I feel like somehow that location had to have been saved even when I had location history turned off? This house belongs to someone I used to date also, and my current partner stumbled upon my timeline when I had it open on my computer because I was trying to check something else, and now they think I cheated on them and went over there. I don't know why this is doing this? Help? [link] [comments] |
| I want to buy a Samsung A71 but I'm afraid of this... Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:40 AM PDT I was looking for screen protectors for the new Samsung A71 I may buy and I read a review about a certain screen protector someone said he had problems-(Not with A71 but with a different phone, but same screen protector brand I was looking for) - with the fingerprint feature, The problem is Not in the phone but when he put the screen protector the fingerprint sensor seems less effective,because you know the Samsung A71 fingerprint sensor is under the screen. So does this happen with all screen protectors?, and is there a screen protector that is made to fit the fingerprint sensor and doesn't affect it? Thanks! Also I appreciate any suggestions for good screen protectors for Samsung A71 and also good cases that protects the phone from drops. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:36 AM PDT Galaxy users, do you prefer basic Samsung apps, like Messages and Calendar, or their Google counterparts? [link] [comments] |
| Media players can never resume files after exiting Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:34 AM PDT I've tried VLC, BSPlayer, MX Player, ES Media Player and many many others, and all have the same problems where if I stopped playing any video or audio files halfway through, it always starts from the beginning again when I play the file again. I've made sure that the apps has the settings to resume the file, but it could never resume. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10+ and have had no issues at all with it, other than this. It's annoying me like crazy! [link] [comments] |
| Export Chrome bookmarks from Galaxy s10e Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:23 AM PDT Samsung Galaxy s10e (AT&T version) One UI: 2.1 Android version: 10 Chrome version: 83.0.4103.101 I've scoured the web and Reddit for a way to export Chrome bookmarks from my Galaxy s10e phone. I've tried using Google Sync, but it is not working properly. I have not, and do not want to root my phone. Is it possible? I'd have to imagine that there are a lot of users that end up with a messy horde of bookmarks or want to export them, to pick select sites from the batch. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Remap generic gamepad L2/R2 "triggers" to +Gas and +Brake Axis for XBox Console Streaming Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:16 AM PDT I have an Ipega PG-9083S that I'm using with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" 2019 (SM-T290) that is not rooted. I'm using the controller with XBox Console Streaming, and the difference between L2/R2 buttons and analog axis controls is starting to be a problem in some games. For example, Doom Eternal does not register that I'm continuously holding down the R2 button and so the plasma gun will only fire 4 shots per press like it would if I were to slightly press down the trigger on an XBox controller. Using a free gamepad tester, I see that an XBox controller goes from 0 to +0.8 when the triggers are pressed in on axis 0x16 "GAS" and 0.17 "Brake". Is there a way to provide essentially a +1 signal on these axis when the corresponding L2/R2 buttons are pressed on the Ipega controller? [link] [comments] |
| What do the android x86 release names mean? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:16 AM PDT I see there are a lot of releases with different names. Like, r4, k419 and such. [link] [comments] |
| Bluetooth audio choppy on wifi connection Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:13 AM PDT Guys I have a Gionee A1 phone working flawlessly as my secondary phone. Since few months it is acting weird. When I play Youtube or any online videos on phone connected to a Wifi and audio connected to a BT speaker or BT earphones, the voice is very choppy, skipping, stuttering and disturbing. Earlier it used to work simply great. The same earphones and BT speaker works flawlessly on my other phones. But this doesn't happen when I do the above things on Mobile data connection. I tried various tricks and solutions as below but none worked...
Apart from this, there are no other issues with the phone at all. even calls etc work fine on BT earphones. The camera, battery wifi etc all wok flawlessly. Is there any conflict arising between BT and Wifi connection within the phone? Kindly help to resolve this minor looking big issue.. [link] [comments] |
| Sync notifications between devices? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:53 AM PDT I have an old Nexus 9 tablet I still use from time to time, but one of the reasons I use it less often is the number of notifications I have to swipe away because I've already looked at them on my phone. One of the worst offenders is the official Reddit app, but it's not the only one. I get notifications on both but usually address them from my phone. But the amount of notifications I get between using my tablet is annoying, to say the least. I know I can completely disable the notifications, but I kind of still want them. What I'd rather have is... well, when a notification is addressed on one device, it's cleared on the other automatically. It doesn't have to be immediate, but perhaps the "sync" occurs when I wake up the tablet again? Is there such a feature or app to do this? [link] [comments] |
| Any way to disable scroll acceleration or slow down? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:45 AM PDT When i scroll down for too long it moves faster and faster to the point where you miss a bunch of posts because it scrolls super fast. Any way to disable this ? I have huawei p30 [link] [comments] |
| Email App/Yahoo Mail App Issues Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:23 AM PDT Hi all, I recently updated my Yahoo password for security, and now whenever I try to login through the Android Email App or the Yahoo Mail App it gives me an error reading ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. I have been unable to find a way around. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both apps and removing the account from my Account in the Options menu. Can anyone help? [link] [comments] |
