    Android Questions: Fingerprint sensor offline!

    Android Questions: Fingerprint sensor offline!


    Fingerprint sensor offline!

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 04:04 AM PDT

    I have "turned it off and turned it back on again" like 10 times. I tried to clear out my fingerprints and start from scratch but can't do that either AEB the screenshot linked below. I didn't think I'd be this annoyed but here I am.

    Info:

    The problem stated yesterday on my Galaxy Note 8. Not sure if related but a TMobile update came in overnight. I also drop my phone a lot but it is in an otterbox defender. No physical defects are visible and everything else about my phone is fine. This is a new problem I've never had before. Ask me anything else you need to know!

    Have I totally messed up?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 09:57 AM PDT

    So I have a old tablet (Acer iconia one 8) which I used to use for games.

    I was planning passing down this tablet as I haven't used it in a long time. So I've factory reset the tablet and now it seems the device was connected to a Gmail account which I have deleted.

    When I turn the tablet on it wants me to log in to the original Gmail which doesn't exist anymore and I have no idea what the email could have been.

    I can't get past this and have no clue what to do anymore it seems as though I've now permanently locked myself and my nephew (who the tablet was going to) out of it with no return which is really frustrating!

    Issues with phone charging.

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 12:36 AM PDT

    Hi, I don't know if this is the right community, so I apologize if not. I'll gladly delete in that case and go to where the right subreddit may be. I've become desperate and I don't know how to fix this. I'm not phone savvy so please bear with me.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy A10e and I've had it since January. No spills or hard falls, yet it has somehow stopped charging normally. I've tried cleaning the charger point out along with the charger itself to no avail. The issue started sometime after the most recent update though I didn't think much of it as I know it's rarely software updates that cause these things. It was usually fixable, but now it is not. It doesn't seem like my charger port is bent (gap is there) and I'm not sure what the issue is.

    For reference, it says that it is always charging even when it isn't plugged in. It is not the charger that it came with and I don't know what happened to that one (I've moved since January) either, but it's always been compatible until recently. Now it won't charge at all and it always acts like it's plugged in when it isn't. I've tried using Google to do some tech support, but it's been hours to no avail.

    Is there someone out there who may be familiar with this and know how to fix it? Please and thank you.

    Why is my phone's sound too loud at maximum volume level (15) but very low at further volume down (14 and below) which you can hardly hear?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 09:09 AM PDT

    The volume adjustment sucks when you watch movies or play video games. The maximum volume(15) is too loud that you can hear it through 3 rooms and hears to everyone around you but the volume just below it(14) is you can hardly hear. I always adjust the volume for a mid range between the highest (15) and just below it(14). But that doesnt work.

    I use a Lenovo k9 note 2019 edition which is a cheap android phone runs on Oreo 8.10 (and Lenovo 3.9.269) but has 4Gb ram and Snapdragon SDM450 processor which is good enough for my needs except the sound adjustment is just betraying the user.

    Is there a way you can adjust the phone's volume levels thats not too loud or too low? Any apps or in the settings?

    Wifi not working after changing

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 04:53 AM PDT

    Hey, guys.

    I just got a new tablet, a Teclast P10S/P10HD, and I've been experiencing some annoying issue.

    After I charge the tablet an arbitrary amount of time, at least for more than 20 minutes, the WiFi doesn't work.

    I press the button, it lights up and then deactivates after some seconds. Bluetooth doesn't work either.

    If I try to open the settings, the settings app freezes. I can still use the tablet, but without opening the settings nor wifi.

    The issue resolves when I reboot the device, only to occurs again, until now, when I try to charge it.

    Help me, please :/

    Which folders do I choose in TWRP backup to always revert the Android to the out-of-box experience first?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 12:03 PM PDT

    I'm not interested in backup my user data, that's not my primary phone.

    Thanks!

    3 hours screen on time at 12% battery on a brand new S20+ 5G. This can't be normal?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 12:00 PM PDT

    This phone is a UK version S20+ 5G that's 24 hours old and it barely managed 3 hours screen on time (60hz, mid resolution, optimisation on). My 3 year old OnePlus 6 manages 6-7 hours without an issue. What the hell is going on here? If this can't be resolved the phone is going back.

    LinkedIn is blocked by PlayProtect?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 11:54 AM PDT

    So, I had LinkedIn for months now, and somehow I only started receiving prompts about it; Also LinkedIn was in Chinese, which was questionable but also I downloaded it from the Playstore. If it helps I'm currently using a Huawei P30 still with GMS.

    What could it be? I deleted just now to avoid any possible "malware".

    third party program that lets you use search google play without having the googlepackage installed

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 11:34 AM PDT

    I know there is a program that you can use that is a appstore that basically searches google play store for you and lets you install it that way instead, but I'm not coming up with a name. I'm looking for a way to expand the usefulness of a huawei p40 pro

    Motorola One Hyper and Android 10 issues

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 11:17 AM PDT

    A few niggling things are bothering me with Android 10. Having come from Android 7 I found to love a few things that I now miss.

    My device is rooted and working with Magisk.

    I am looking for a way to get the old 3 "buttons" on the bottom of the screen back. This swipe this and that is a pain.

    Also looking for a way to get finer volume control all. Especially speaker and headphones. I am looking to get 30 per slider and cannot find a way like 7.0 was by editing the prop file.

    TWRP is NOT nor can it be installed on this phone.

    Finally, would like to change the bootanimation file since "Hello, moto" is not my favorite.

    Thank you

    Download folder strange timestamp

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    I noticed that my "download" folder has a timestamp that doesn't much any of the timestamps of the data in it. What is more, Im almost certain that my phone was inactive at the time displayed there. Is this some weird bug or should I be concerned about something?

    Gallery Help!

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 10:14 AM PDT

    I need storage on my phone. So I took all of my pins in my internal storage and moved them in my SD card. But now all the pictures are backwards. Like my newest pictures that I obtained are now way way way down at the bottom. Can I change this or do I have to deal with it?

    Can't use my work profile with Google Classroom

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 01:12 AM PDT

    So, I'm a college student and the college basically created automated gmail accounts for us to use specifically with Google Classroom. The thing is, the Android Classroom app does not have a sepparate Work Profile app (like Gmail and Calendar which generate like a second instance with a little suitcase bellow), and I can't sync my work email to the main app, because the account doesn't appear in the select menu, and when I "add" a new account and use that gmail, it prompts me to configure a new work profile on my phone, and when that's finished, it loops back to only showing my personal account as an option.

    I really, REALLY need to have access to Google Classroom on my work profile. I've been looking for a solution for a couple of hours, but I think the wizards of Reddit will be a better help than lose 2 days looking for a solution which mught not appear.

    Thanks.

    HELP! Any way to recover files from a factory reset Samsung Galaxy S7? (Verizon Qualcomm)

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 09:50 AM PDT

    Folks, I messed up horribly. I factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S7, and transferred my data to my PC prior to doing so. Long story short, the data from the default Memo app didn't get saved to my PC. To my limited understanding, data sometimes isn't completely destroyed until its written over, is there any feasible way to recover those memo files? It seems impossible to root my particular model of S7 (Verizon Qualcomm), so root based recovery seems out for me. All of the methods I've seen online involving software on PC seem very sketchy. I have years worth of lyrics written in the Memo app, and I'd do just about anything to get it back. Thanks in advance.

    Galaxy S9 is dead and won't charge

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 09:24 AM PDT

    got a new S9 in early november, and around February my phone died while plugged in overnight and wouldn't turn on. Charge light worked, and the hold down start and volume trick did nothing. Leaving it to fully discharge solved the problem.

    My phone, yet again, has died overnight. This time, no charge indicator light appears when I plug it in which did not occur last time, and the hold buttons to reset isn't working. I tried charging it for 15 minutes to see if it was just super dead and there's no change.

    I try my best to take good care of my phone, and it hasn't been dropped or gotten wet as far as I can tell, and overnight it was resting on a wooden desk.

    Have any of you had a similar problem? Any ideas what's causing the problem?

    My plan is to test a second charger just in case that's the problem, and if not, let it rest for the day in case it's not truly fully drained.

    Last resort would be to take it into the shop. I tried that last time and they spent at best 5 minutes talking to me before they said "send it off" - I live on an island in the Atlantic so sending things off takes weeks even without COVID-19, and I want to avoid that as much as possible, and avoid losing anything since my last backup.

    Xiaomi Redmi 3S not detecting signal?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 08:54 AM PDT

    I took this phone to a repair shop to get the display and battery changed. Before this, I factory reset the phone so it would be a clean slate as I was going to give it to my mum. This phone belonged to me for like 3 years so I know it had no issue detecting signal before...

    I checked in settings and it's seeing the sim card, just no signal. I tried 2 different carriers and like 4 sims as well, still nothing. I plan to take it back to the repair shop in case they damaged the antenna somehow, but just wanna check whether this is a software issue that I can fix myself?

    The phone is running Android 6.0.1 and MiUi 10.2

    How can I sandbox an apk?

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 08:46 AM PDT

    I want to write some ntag215 nfc tags with my samsung s10 (Android v10). A lot of people recommend the app TagMo for this kind of nfc tag but I don't feel comfortable executing an apk for 2 minutes of writing a tag. Is there a way to sandbox the application or maybe run an Android vm on my pc and connect my phone only for the nfc writing functionality? Thanks
