    USB screen mirroring from Android to Android

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 11:11 AM PDT

    Hello.

    I have a quite old Lenovo tablet which I don't use at all. It's really slow. I'd like to re-use the tab as a monitor, a second screen for my LG G8x - in a wired way, via USB. Is that even possible? If yes, how?

    Thanks.

    Need help getting pictures off Samsung Galaxy S10 5G

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 10:48 AM PDT

    Hi everyone... I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G and below the volume button the screen is all white and I can't view it , but it still does respond to touch (Dropped it and it must've hit the sweet spot) ... I got an insurance replacement and all my numbers and text messages transferred to my new phone but none of my pictures transferred .... I am unable to really install any backup apps because of the screen issue and was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions on how to get the pictures to my new phone or at least a way to access the hard drive on old phone to pull pictures onto my laptop. Thank You

    Base.apk file via whatsapp

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 11:45 AM PDT

    A friend decided to foolishly send an app file via whatsapp. The file was named base.apk. I immediately informed him about the risks of downloading APK files online. So I've located the file in my files. It was in the not installed section. I immediately deleted it. Am I safe or should I factory reset the device ? Also what could base.apk file be ? Asked my friend he was not very informative.

    Edit - he thought it was a joke and he resent it again, this time I've blocked WhatsApp from accessing storage and I deleted the message. Have I don't enough ? Is there anything left ?

    Moto G6 won't charge/No data transfer options

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 07:58 AM PDT

    Hi all, looking for some help with my Moto G6.

    The phone doesn't charge over 3% whether powered on or off. If I go into fastboot mode and leave it there it does charge, albeit quite slowly. When unplugged the battery doesn't appear to drain particularly quickly and is mostly normal.

    The other problem I'm facing is that I cannot transfer files to my PC. When plugged in to the PC I hear the windows notification but there is no notification to change from USB for Charging to File Transfer. The phone doesn't appear on Windows file explorer. I have enabled USB debugging and selected MTP file transfer as the default setting.

    I'm certain this isn't an issue with cables/PC as it all works fine for several other devices.

    Visually the USB port looks fine, has been dusted and pins seem to be in place.

    Can anybody offer any advice? Is there any basic troubleshooting I can try?

    Thanks!

    Help with NFC and Firmware

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 11:14 AM PDT

    Hey guys. first Post. I made a reddit account just for this lol. Anyway. Yesterday i bought the Galaxy A31. Model number A315G. Today i tried to use samsung pay but realized its not supported. I contacted samsung and they told me the device is international. International devices dont work with samsung pay and dont have NFC. I found another model of my phone which is SM-A315F. It supports NFC. im sure that even if i use google pay, id need NFC. So is it safe if i flash my firmware to SM-A315F so i can get NFC?

    Moto G 2nd Generation stuck in bootloop after deleting Google Now Launcher

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 10:53 AM PDT

    Three years ago I accidentally deleted the Google Now launcher on my Motorola Moto G 2nd gen. After that it got stuck in a boot loop of optimising apps. At that time it wasn't something I cared about, because I was gonna buy a new phone anyways. Fast forward three years and I am trying not to die of boredom during my summer holidays, which is the main reason I am trying to fix this phone and maybe recover some data.

    After the phone is done optimising all the apps, the phone will reboot and restart optimising all the apps. I have tried a few things:

    1. Rebooting into the recovery menu and selecting the recovery option. When I do that I get a 'no command error'.
    2. Plugging into my PC, but it doesn't recognise the phone, so that won't do anything.

    Does anyone have a tip or solution for me? It would be awesome if I can recover the data on my phone without a factory reset. Thanks for any help in advance!

    Seriously am I screwed? Note: I can't simply replace the screen do to hole,

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 10:48 AM PDT

    I've read the other responses (to this type of question), I have...

    However, I can't replace the screen, it's more than just shattered, it's got a hole in it. (dropped my iPad on it - both broke).

     

    I am positive the Moto G7 still works, as I can hear it lock and unlock with my finger print and also shake it to turn on the light etc...

     

    However, I did NOT have USB Debugging mode on when it cracked and it defaults to "charging" and not "file transfer" when plugging it into my PC. I have not been able to get either Vysor or ApowerMirror to even see it.

     

    Using the OTG cable will not help my pass the security code because it is a pattern and not a number.

     

    I just want my pictures and I wasn't using Sync or any other cloud backup.

    How to make my device louder?

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 10:29 AM PDT

    I recently got Redmi 9 and I installed Subwoofer Bass for a nice bass (it's set at 70%), but the volume is too low. I think there are several ways to increase my volume.

    Without root

    I noticed that I can have only one app active at a time that modifies audio output (equalizer, bass booster), so maybe there is a way to let more audio modifiers be active at one time, so I can use bass booster and equalizer to make things louder.

    Second option would be getting an app that has audio amplifier and bass booster with high quality audio. Maybe you can recommend me some.

    With root

    Because I have a Xiaomi phone, from what I read I need to apply and wait to unlock my bootloader, and then I can use root methods (which I think I could do by myself)

    Non-android way

    I could also amplify my songs in an external program like Audacity, but I would need to have some automated program or script to do all of my songs. But it's only songs. Rest of the sounds would be untouched.

    I have a shortcut on my home screen to text my wife, made with the contacts app. How do I make a shortcut on the home screen to text a group (like my kids)?

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 10:26 AM PDT

    I used a direct message widget from Contacts and it works great to open the existing text conversation with my wife. I would like a shortcut/widget next to it to do the same thing for my family: engage the group text discussion.

    I'm using a Galaxy S20. I primarily use Textra. Thank you in advance!

    Can an app cause a large drain on your battery without showing in the native battery manager?

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 09:40 AM PDT

    I've got a good quality new battery in my phone and the draining on it is still bad like my old one. When I look at my battery manager nothing seems to be overly suspect, but I can't help but feel like there's something the native battery monitor isn't showing me.

    Problem with "Phone" App on S10+

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    Hello I'm having a problem with my "phone" app that I can't seem to fix. Whenever I try to press the little "i" button to view the information on a past phone call, I get a blank white screen that says "History" on the left side, followed by a "Phone is not responding" notification. I've obviously tried restarting my phone, and the app, but to no avail. I cannot seem to find a fix on Google. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. By the way, I'm 69 years old and I'm writing this with my son's assistance. I'm new to reddit and not a whiz with my phone, so please be patient with me.

    Custom roms for SM-T110 ?

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 08:10 AM PDT

    Hi

    I found my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite but it's still on Android JellyBelly

    I can't install the apps I want and it's kinda slow too

    Searched the web for a custom rom like Lineage OS or even how to install Linux on it but I found nothing for the t110, only for the other models (tried to flash a prerooted t210 one because maybe and it didn't work so i'm back on stock firmware)

    Was wondering if a custom was hiding somewhere, because I cannot find crap

    LG v40 thin q dead and not charging

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 07:49 AM PDT

    Before I left the house I left my phone on the charger. But when I was heading back it started to rain hard and as a result, the power went out. Maybe the power outage shorted my phone since it was charging? I've tried so many solutions today but none of them have worked. I plugged it into different outlets around my home but it still wouldn't charge. I tried using a different charger, but the charger still works with another phone. I tried plugging it into my laptop to no avail. I also cleaned lint out of the port AND used a vacuum, also to no avail. I'm not sure what else to do. It keeps saying "battery too low to turn on."

    I noticed that, initially, it would boot to the Sprint screen and show the low battery with power cord icon. But now it doesn't boot to the Sprint screen at all. The screen stays black and all it does is make a vibration. Here's the crazy part, I put it on my mom's wireless charger last night and it turned on! So I restarted it and put it into safe mode to see if it'd work with my cord charger but it does not work. So apparently it can only wireless charge now?

    Accesory to add a second screen on the back of the device

    Posted: 19 Jul 2020 07:46 AM PDT

    I was wondering if there's an accessory currently available for purchase to add a second screen on the back of the device, maybe a tiny LCD/OLED screen connected to the USB-C connector or a case with this quirk.

    The primary use case would be to leverage the rear cameras for vlog purposes and selfies (particularly with the ultra wide camera).

    My device is a Samsung Galaxy S10+
