    Android Questions: Pre-scratched screen protector

    Android Questions: Pre-scratched screen protector


    Pre-scratched screen protector

    Have you all seen this before? The phone is brand new, so i was surprised to se a huge scratch after i applied the screen protector.

    I feel like most people don't care if their screen protector is scuffed though, a few bubbles here and there. But to me it's gonna drive me crazy, so do you think it's enough reason to return it?

    Sick of "Head Space" Please Help

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:16 AM PDT

    So I got the app headspace a while back and when I installed it, it added a notification or something of the sort to my calendar for every single day until I die. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it. I am sick of seeing it pop up on my main screen saying "get some headspace." Please of anyone has any idea let me know, I have a Pixel 3XL

    Full screen ads when I unlock my device.

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:26 AM PDT

    Recently noticed on my Xperia 1 that unlocking the phone sometimes brings me to a full screen ad, I thought it might be reddit specific but no it was over another app last unlock too.

    Can anyone help me narrow down what's happening here? I've uninstalled some trash apps but I wouldn't know anything that has permissions to do this?

    Unless Sony have deliberately added this in their last (fairly recent) update.

    Thanks.

    Android 10 question

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 08:35 AM PDT

    is there a way to stop Android from ramping up volume on sounds?

    Like ringtones and youtube both will start quiet and then over a few seconds it will get to my set volume. I have gone through every setting I can think of and found nothing. My last Android was 7.1 and it never had this issue.

    Motorola One Hyper running stock rom but rooted.

    Thanks

    New Update Aesthetics Help

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 08:20 AM PDT

    This is actually really bothering me.

    The new update has changed some key aesthetics that I don't see as being possible to change.

    1. The lock screen has a different number format and they've changed the button pictures.

    2. The circles around grouped apps are now thin white lines ???

    3. The dropdown/drawer menu is white.

    I am not going to rant about how stupid this looks to me but I will say that I think it's really irritating when updates like this change my aesthetic settings around. Don't get me started on how the last update defaulted all my app battery permissions and had me fucked up for a few days trying to figure that out.

    Is there any way I can manipulate these settings to get back to the way they were or am I stuck with it?

    The only thing I can think is to enable system wide darkmode and I'd rather not do that.

    I appreciate any support / help.

    What is the threshold, for "charging rapidly", when charging an Android phone?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:48 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    When charging your Android phone, I've noticed that the charging message is either: Charging Rapidly, Charging or Charging Slowly (there may be others too?).

    Though I'm wondering, what parameter is Android using to determine what charging message to display? (E.g. - is it wattage? amps? % battery gained per min? etc...)

    And what is the threshold for each category?

    PS - reason I ask, is there's times when my phone tends to vary between all 3, even during the same charging cycle, so I'm trying to work out exactly is varying it?

    Thanks

    How do I transfer notes from memo in bulk?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:45 AM PDT

    I'm getting a new phone today and my current Android has about 300 notes in the built in memo app. I can send a single note via email but I can't send more than one at a time. Is there a way to send it directly to a new phone or just make the process faster

    editing root files on android 10

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    Found a possible solution to the increasing/ramping up of volume for ringtone and notifications but I need to edit a file in the \root\vendor\etc director and I cannot seem to get access to save. I can edit the file but cannot save it.

    I copied a backup of the original one to a sd card but want to be able to save my edits

    Apps Constantly Crashing

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:05 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S10. Say I'm listening to something via Spotify or my podcast app (Castbox). As soon as I open another app on my phone, the media crashes. If I'm in an app, no matter what it is, and I move to another app for even a moment, even to check a notification or reply to a text, it will crash. Without fail. I am on high performance mode in the battery setting, putting apps to sleep is turned off, data saver is off, etc. I have only have 1-2 apps in my tray at any point (the apps I'm attempting to switch between without it crashing), and I have no tabs open. Any ideas? Even this crashed as I was trying to type this out when I went to check my battery mode.

    Scan with google drive not cropping

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    I'm trying to use google drive to upload scans of my notes for school. I'm using the scan feature in google drive on my s9, cropping out the stuff I don't need, and uploading it. I end up with a ton of blank space on top and bottom, making the notes mostly unreadable. Was hoping someone knew of any way to get rid of all that white space. If it's not possible to get rid of or will take a lot of extra time/effort, are there any other apps/methods anyone could recommend for scanning my handwritten notes onto my PC?

    Below is a link to one of the files I'm trying to use.

    Notifications

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 02:46 AM PDT

    Is there any way of making it so only phone calls and messages use the sound/vibration when received while other apps stay silent. I want to still be able to see these notifications so Do Not Disturb with exceptions won't work.

    I often miss calls and messages as I have my phone on silent because if it's on sound/vibrate it's constantly going off with twitter, WhatsApp, app e.t.c notifications

    When I'm on my home wifi I cannot use file manager(s) on my phone to connect to an FTP server.

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 06:30 AM PDT

    Phone: Moto E5 Plus.

    OS: Android 8.0.

    Recent software changes: Installed Android May security update.

    Recent hardware (router) changes: None.

    I have been using Solid File Explorer and Mixplorer to upload and download files from a handful of different FTP servers. After I installed the May security update a few days ago I can no longer connect using those apps.

    I can connect using:

    • Chrome on my phone over wifi.

    • Downloader app on my phone (IDM+) over wifi.

    • Solid or Mixplorer over my mobile network (MetroPCS/T-Mobile).

    • On wifi while I'm running my VPN (Windscribe).

    • FTP apps on my PC (Filezilla, WinSCP).

    Any ideas on what has caused this and what I can do to fix it?

    Bootloop and random restart issues in android (Gionee A1 plus)

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:54 AM PDT

    My Gionee A1 plus started acting strange a month ago. It would often restart whenever I received any SMS notification and then boot up just fine. I tried using an earphone and keeping the phone in silent mode, as reducing the notification sound levels didn't help. This fixed the problem for a few weeks until 2 days ago while using my camera, it suddenly decided to restart but got stuck in a bootloop(the boot logo kept popping up and disappearing again and again). I managed to turn it off by plugging it to a charger where it went to charging mode.

    After a bit of research, I entered the stock "Android recovery mode" and cleared the /cache partition but that did not fix the issue. I panicked as I did not have a twrp or any other recovery tool installed. I didn't even have USB debugging enabled. However, after a bit more strolling I found that fastboot could detect my device(after rebooting to bootloader) and then ran the command fastboot continue
    and my phone booted up alright. But now my phone can't use the "Ultrafast charge mode" which makes the charging process 5 times longer and the battery drains really quick. What's more the phone restarting by itself has become often(I can't even use my camera) and its always the bootloop. I have to use fastboot to boot in again.

    I created a backup of my data and then did a factory reset on the device to no use.

    Do I need to flash a stock ROM to my device or am I missing something? I am inexperienced in this domain so please guide me on how to fix this issue. I have attached snaps of my Recovery and Factory modes.

    Android Recovery mode menu

    Hardware details

    fastboot commands

    TLDR; phone ends up in bootloop after suddenly restarting while in use, battery drains faster, no ultrafast charging, clearing cache and factory reset doesn't help.

    Phone browser Opens Randomly To Spam

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 05:44 AM PDT

    Starting two days ago, Google Chrome would open randomly on my Galaxy S8 every few hours to a spam website (casinos, fake virus detected, etc.). I disabled Chrome but now it opens in Samsung Internet instead. I tried scanning my phone with both Malwarebytes and AVG but neither of them detected anything wrong. Then I tried searching for my problem online and the most common solution I found is to go into Settings > Apps, look for a blank nameless app and shut it down, but I couldn't find one even after enabling Show System Apps.

    For a while now, my Galaxy S10+ has briefly shown the message "Can't install app. App not optimized for use with Secure Folder" or something like that at random times when I never installed any new apps inside of secure folder.

    Access my broken phone storage without replacing the screen.

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 06:56 AM PDT

    I have a redmi note 4 (mido) which fell on water and has a broken screen. It was fully unlocked and running AOSP Extended Pie. Dried up the phone and even opened the back panel for battery removal. Also tried calling the phone and surprisingly it rings. Now, the problem is I had some files that were not backed up. Did some Google searches and youtube videos where each result showed me that Vysor(web extension) can help me access it. So is it possible or just a clickbait to earn views?

    Samsung A71 - can't record calls

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I bought a new Samsung A71 last week after my old phone died. I've been trying to record calls but I haven't been able to. The built-in option, that should be there according to multiple websites, just doesn't show up when I go into my phone-app menu (it's the default phone app that came preinstalled).

    I read that Samsung only restricts it in countries where it's illegal to record calls. However, I'm in The Netherlands, where it's legal. IIRC I setup the phone with my correct location (I did set the language to English though), and I've only been using it in NL.

    If anyone has an idea to 'fix' this, that'd be highly appreciated. Using a third party app would also be fine (if anyone has recommendations), but I read that Samsung also restricts that use if it thinks you're in a country where it's illegal. However, at this point I have no clue what is causing me to be unable to record calls, whether its the a wrong interpretation of the legal status in my area or something else.

    Help, phone turns on when it senses motion

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 06:10 AM PDT

    My phone is a Nokia 6.1 and it turns on when I lift it. Yes this might seem useful but it's way too sensitive, it turns on when I put it down, it turns on when I put it in my pocket. It's bloody annoying.

    Thought someone might know how to turn this off? It's been happens since it got the Android 10 update.

    Thanks.
