    Android Questions: Is there any way to escape Google/Gmail?


    Is there any way to escape Google/Gmail?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:40 AM PDT

    Google seems to be into everything I do. I've been thinking for a while now about just getting away from it. Basically, making a new online persona. Switching Email, etc. I'm going to be getting a new phone in the next few months (probably a Galaxy Note 8 or 9) and thought that may be a good time to do it. Can I even get away without a Gmail account? And what would I use?

    I think I may have to have one Gmail account to sign in, but that doesn't mean I have to use it. I've always been someone who likes to keep my phone feeling fresh despite not having the latest models. And while I'm not super paranoid about privacy, I feel like Google is getting worse and worse. So if there's an 'alt' to Google I'd love to know!

    Need help fixing my phone really bad.

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    I turned my phone off and when i turned it on it took me to the factory reset screen. The phone i own is a stupid Vernee Model V2pro, it will not take me back to the normal screen. It always comes back to factory reset screen and i really dont want to do it. All my passwords are on a app and if i do a factory reset they will all be gone. Is there a way i can go back to my normal screen or save all of my apps and passwords. The app i have my passwords on is ColorNote, i need help.

    android devices with pressure sensitivity

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    (please tell me if this is against the rules)

    so, I wanted to know if there's any android tablets or phones with a touchscreen with pressure sensitivity such as the iPad Pro, I really like the idea of a tablet where you can make art, but I also REALLY dislike apple, so I wanted to know if there's any android equivalent I could check out[?]

    Samsung A30s - Front camera seems blurry

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. I recently got my A30s, and it's been fine so far. The back camera seems fine as well. I tried out the front camera today, and it seems to not focus correctly. Maybe it's just different from my old phones? On any other phone, I would just tap on my face on the screen, and it would focus. It's not really doing that on this one. It just seems too blurry.

    Am I missing something? Thank you guys.

    Fixing background sync issues

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:27 PM PDT

    After updating to Android 10, some apps stopped showing notifications. Stuff like discord was easily fixed by disabling battery optimization. But there are apps that don't want to work. Said app runs a check for new information once per hour instead of constantly waiting in the background.

    Data restrictions have been disabled, battery optimization as well. No results.

    How do I fix that without downgrading?

    How do I disable/lock the Android 9 Quick Settings (pull down menu) for kids

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:05 PM PDT

    Kids accidentally pull down the menu and disable options in the Quick settings tile (e.g. disable wifi, disable auto screen turning). Is there any way to lock this quick menu behind a PIN or just disable the whole thing completely?

    I have transferred all of my music over to an SD card, but I have some playlists that I've been currating for years that I'd like to be able to play on my phone too. Is there any way to get them from my computer to my phone?

    I want to buy this phone - but there is one downside

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:53 AM PDT

    Hello.

    I am planning to buy this phone called Infinix Note 7.

    It has good specs for its price here in Pakistan. (specs - https://www.gsmarena.com/infinix_note_7-10175.php)

    However, there is one thing that is bothering me - it has a resolution of 720 HD, not 1080 FHD. Even my old Honor 6x has FHD 1080p.

    My question is that in 2020, is this a major downside to buying a phone ? I want to watch youtube videos and netflix shows on it, so will it affect my viewing experience ? do videos of 1080p and above hang up on 720p phones ?

    Do you think this display will go obsolete in two years ?

    Please guide me if I should go ahead and buy it or not. Thank you.

    Is there a way to display the battery percentage in large text like the rest of the information on the homepage? (attached screenshot)

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:58 PM PDT

    I am using the Redmi 8 with Microsoft Launcher and I have trouble reading small font on the screen.

    I've increased the default font size in the accessibility settings so everything is magnified - https://imgur.com/a/sOAkfwB

    I've managed to get a clock and the weather in the large font but I don't see anyway of showing the battery percentage in large font.

    My car phone (Samsung Galaxy J7 that I only used for music and pokemon emulators) got stolen at a party. Looking to buy a new one. Should I just get another J7 or is there something cheaper since I’ll only be using it for music and pokemon emulator?

    My 'car phone' (Samsung Galaxy J7, only used for pokemon emulators and music) got stolen at a party. Looking to replace it with another android so I can use pokemon emulators. Should I just get another J7, or is there something cheaper?

    My phone is an iPhone 11, my provider gave me the J7 as a backup phone. it has no plan. I just want another so I can play pokémon again. Some dick stole it, robbing me of my Pokemon Gold playthrough where I had just become champion of Kanto.

    Are there cheaper phones that are good for the same purpose? I'll only be downloading music and a pokemon emulator on it, so I don't need anything good.

    How do I let apps access SD card?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:07 AM PDT

    Just got World of Tanks Blitz on my Android 5. I have an SD card and I want to download my game data there since I don't have a lot of internal storage. But then, a window popped up saying that SD card access is denied and I need to grant access to SD card from the game. How do I do that?

    Is it possible to increase the amount of words allowed in personal dictionary?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:55 AM PDT

    I was just wondering if there is any way to increase the amount of words you can fit in personal dictionary. I am talking about word shortcuts like when you type omw = On My Way. My problem is that if you want to have a long sentence or a website it will only allow you to add a certain amount of words to it. If it would be possible to make that longer or download a different keyboard that will allow me to do this that would be great. Thank you for any info.

    Jabra Elite 65t earbud headphones cutting out with Samsung S20

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:00 AM PDT

    Jabra Elite 65t earbud headphones cutting out with Samsung S20

    has anyone else had this problem? whats the best way to fix it? At the moment all I'm doing is clearing the Bluetooth cache and data and resting the earbuds. It usually fixes it for a while then it goes back to how it was. I've tried just the earbud reset and just the cache and data as well as just the cache and just data. I've pretty much-tried combinations. I'm looking for a more permanent fix. So far I haven't found it. If anyone knows of one.

The app is only available for google play store accounts within the US leading to the error message "This app is not available in your country" Is there any way around this like downloading an APK outside of google play?

    how do I set a blanket ban on websites latching on to Chrome's notification settings?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 08:40 AM PDT

    My Grandmother has a Pixel 3A.

    She's not particularly tech savvy, and is unfortunately the sort of person who will press "yes" on any prompt that comes up.

    This means that almost any website she's ever visited she's allowed the permission for Chrome to send notifications to her phone.

    Last time I saw her I manually removed loads of those permissions, but a few weeks later she'd just added loads more and her notification bar is full of junk.

    How do I block these notifications from being sent? Even better, how do I make it so that websites can't ever ask Chrome to display notifications for that site, because it's literally useful 0% of the time and is spam 100% of the time.

    Internal mic on Bluetooth

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 04:33 AM PDT

    Hey! I have a problem

    The problem

    So the thing is that I have a Bluetooth headphone but its microphone is so horrible people can't understand me if I use it. So I'd like to use it only for output, and internal microphone as input on Discord.
    I know there are a lot of threads about this but either they don't work for me or there isn't any solution on it.

    Solution #1

    I thought about installing pulseaudio but
    - it doesn't seem stable
    - I don't know if it could allow me to do this (could it?)

    Solution #2

    I also thought about another solution which could be disabling external microphones making them unusable at all, but I don't know if it's possible, and if it is, how?

    Solution #3

    I also thought about preventing Android to detect the microphone on the headphones, making them recognized without microphone.

    Solution #4

    Or I could make an application which allow me to do it, but how? Is it possible? It doesn't seem to be.

    I'd really like to find a solution because for the moment I use WO Mic to use the phone as a microphone for the computer and make my calls on the computer, which is not normal as a device under linux should be able to do what I want without problems, computers do it!

    Soft bricked.

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:19 AM PDT

    Ive basically rooted my SM-j730f about a month ago. The rom wasnt for me and it was making my device struggle, I went into the magisk app and pressed uninstall. It worked, well so I hoped until it went to bootloop after it restarted itself. I tried everything. Odin, Fastboot which I knew it wont work, just tried it to be sure. I also did these stuff: Backup boot and system and then tried to restore it. Didnt work. I have FPR and OEM unlocked, I only miss usb debug enabled. People told me odin dosent need usb debug for it to work. I installed stock rom for my region and build number, basically the rom I had before the root. Anyone, please help me. I dont wanna buy a new device and im willing to pay anyone that can help me with this mess.

    Can I set Bixby button to function as a physical play/pause button?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:49 AM PDT

    I know you can set it up to run apps, etc, just wondering if you can set it as a physical play/pause button at all, single or double press? S10e, unrooted.

    How do you directly download torrents to a USB or network drive?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:24 AM PDT

    I have an NTFS/ExFAT (multiple partitions) USB drive connected and mounted with Paragon for android as my device doesn't read the drive without it, can only read FAT32 natively.

    Anyway, I've heard Flud was good for downloading directly to USB, but in the download folder options only internal storage shows up. I've read you can mount the drive to a file and then set that as the location, but haven't read how to do that.

    Would anyone know how to do this or perhaps download directly to a network shared USB instead if I plug it into the router.

    I know I can already send files to the USB over the network but haven't found a way to do either directly while downloading. Only after the download is complete could I save to anywhere else using MiXplorer.

    Anyone got any tips or guide on the web for me, I searched around but have yet to find it.

    Thanks in advance 😊
