    Android Questions: Help I think I bricked my phone in the stupidest way possible


    Help I think I bricked my phone in the stupidest way possible

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    So I set up a command in Macrodroid to turn the screen off if the screen was on, unless the time was between 7AM-11PM. However, the constraint didn't work and now whenever I turn my Oneplus 6T on it turns off automatically. This means I can't restart it and I tried USB debugging but my phone wasn't set to file transfer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: Somehow, by spamming buttons, I was able to get it to restart and disabled Macrodroid. Thanks for all your help!

    I use the SamsungGalaxy:A30, and when my phone boots up, the ptocesses of the phone does not start until you unlock the phone. Why does this happen?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 09:49 AM PDT

    In my Samsung-Galaxy:A30 when my phone boots-up, the ptocesses of the phone does not start until you unlock the phone.

    For example, the bluelight-filter does not get initiated, and the Always.On.Display does not start until the phone is unlocked. Also the fingerprint-unlock does not work after boot-up.

    Why does this happen?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Receive Gmail notifications in real time (Notification refresh rate)

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 06:20 AM PDT

    Hi! The Gmail app on Android seems to be refreshing every 10-15min and there's no options to make it look for new mail quicker. Is there any app out there that would do this?

    I work from home and I need to take my emails as quick as possible, when I receive an email on my desktop, i can receive it only 10min later on my phone.

    Tab Groups and Tab Grid no longer working in Chrome Beta / Dev (Android)

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 04:30 AM PDT

    Even with the flags enabled, these features no longer work for me. Same thing in Chrome Dev. It seems they pushed them down into Chrome Stable but broke in the non-stable channels.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Phone can't charge fast enough to turn on?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 07:26 AM PDT

    One of my old nexus 5 phones that I use as a backup is having problems charging. It keeps trying to turn on before it has enough power, then dies and repeats...

    Does anyone know what I could do to get it to start?

    If I could stop it from trying to boot up long enough to charge a bit more I think it should be fine, but no idea how or if that is possible?

    DynamoDB with Android

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 12:06 PM PDT

    I really want to be able to query some DynamoDB tables I made through an Android app, but for the life of me I can't find proper documentation for this. I have looked at the Amplify SDK but it's honestly so bad and there's no code examples anywhere on how to query a specific DynamoDB table. I have also looked at the old AWS SDK for android but that hasn't been helpful either. Do you have any advice?

    Phone turned off during update, now won't launch.

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    Got my phone (One plus 5) back from a repair shop today to fix a broken screen that happened months ago.

    Screen worked no problem, I'm logging into everything again and start an update. I put it in a case and it must have held down the power button as the phone turned off.

    I thought it would just restart, so I took it out the case and let it do its thing. It didn't restart, but turned off, and now won't boot properly.

    When I hold down the power button, the One Plus bootloader comes on for a few seconds then disappears.

    When I hold vol up+boot, I go into recovery mode with the options to: START. Restart bootloader. Recovery mode. And Power off.

    When I select Recovery mode, nothing happens after the initial loading screen. When I select Restart bootloader, I'm met with "Fastboot mode" and I'm taken back to the recovery mode options.

    When I press power off, the phone simply goes black.

    When I press start, the loading screen appears, but nothing after that.

    Will I be able to access my phone and the files again? I've been waiting for my phone to be fixed for so long, and to have this happen is so saddening.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention the LED is lit up with a white light

    Android tablet has no home or back buttons

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    I have a tablet that doesn't have an onscreen home or back buttons, I cant acces the app menu and the only thing that is available is the settings app and the clock app. Tried factory resetting it twice, nothing changes. Is there anything I can do to make it a normal tablet? Thanks

    Custom rom updates

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 07:06 AM PDT

    I'm currently considering to install a custom rom on my phone (galaxy j7 2016)

    How does it work with updates within a custom rom? I'm currently considering Lineage. Does it update itself and if so, only security updates or also updates to the next android version like with the stock OS?

    And is Lineage a good choice if I want to have a fast phone? Battery life doesn't really matter to me, since I loose around 50% per day, so a faster but less powerefficient rom would be an option. It would have to be stable and well supported (security updates etc) since I'll use it as my daily driver

    Just discovered i have a ton of corrupted images on my sD card. I have a GN10+. Is there a way to repair them?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 10:41 AM PDT

    I swapped my SD card over to a replacement GN10+. and after scrolling through the images, I noticed a bunch are just gray boxes with exclamation points. A few images are just scrambled colors as well.

    Is there a way to recover/repair the unreadable images?

    What text to voice application do you recommend?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 10:30 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I own an amazon kindle device. I used to read books on it almost every day until recently I discovered the comfort and power of an audiobook. I am so hooked to the idea of an audiobook as I could listen to it while in bed at night without stressing my eyes.

    I am on a budget and not sure if going with an on-demand service like audible will fit me in the long run. I find it quite good but a bit overpriced IMO. So, I thought using a text to speech application (Android-based) would be a good idea.

    What mobile application for text to speech conversion would you recommend? Features I am looking for: voice to feel more natural, option to bookmark, simple. It would be nice if the app is FOSS. Thanks.

    I essentially need my youtube and google drive accounts to not be usable in gmail on her tablet but still work fine on youtube and google drive.

    Video "driver" issues? Video apps keep crashing.

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 08:21 AM PDT

    Over the last few days my P30 Pro has been having issues when playing videos. Usually this happens after I watch something, then let the app run (not manually close it) when turning off the screen. When I wake the phone and try to play a video, the current app will either give me a native "cannot play this video" error, or the the app will freeze and android will suggest a forced stop. When then navigating to another app, the same thing happens. The only remedy is a restart. This occurs with YouTube Vanced, Netflix, Crunchyroll and WOW+.. Which are all the video apps I have, so I'm guessing it's not the individual apps' fault, but a system wide issue. My system is fully updated, but the problem did not start with a recent update or anything. I can't pinpoint anything that would have caused this. My phone is old and I've dropped it regularly (no visible damage ever), but I don't know enough about phone hardware to tell whether this could affect components in this way.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Is it possible to create your own display color mode?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 04:29 AM PDT

    I'm an android newbie so this may be an obvious question:

    Is display tuning aka. "display modes" only accessible by manufacturers?

    For example I got the galaxy s10+ and it only has display modes "Vivid" and "Basic", but I really liked the display modes on previous Samsung devices such as "AMOLED Photo" and "AMOLED Cinema". Can I make my own display mode through a custom kernel/rom?

    Thank you for helping

    Android local backup function?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 10:12 PM PDT

    Hello is there officially in Android a local backup function for Apps and Apps data?

    On my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (Android 9 + MIUI 11) there is a local backup function for Apps + Apps data. (Settings -> About phone -> Backup & reset -> Local backups)

    My other Android device Samsung Galaxy S9 does not have such a built-in function.
