    all my videos from the last year were deleted after trying to transfer them to my SD card. Is there anything to be done?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:25 AM PDT

    Device: Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact

    My phone has been acting pretty damn strange recently, but this is really upsetting to me. I have expandable storage in it that I've been offloading my video files to. I just tried to transfer them again today, understanding that there were problems with the device software wise. I guess I took a risk... I regret it now. Initially I was trying to transfer all my photos/videos over. I kept attempting to do this, and for some inexplicable reason, the memory controller on Android kept crashing. So I deselected the photos, and just tried to do the videos instead. It moved approximately 4 "items" (have no idea what those items were, probably folders in retrospect). Immediately after this I tried accessing the videos again to ensure that they transferred correctly. Nope.... All of them have completely disappeared from the main gallery. The last year entirely. I tried checking DCIM on both the internal and external storage devices. They don't exist anymore. I'm kind of fucking livid right now tbh. There was countless invaluable footage stored there... I was thinking about getting a new phone. This may seal the deal.

    Some of the other weird behavior I observed over the last few months... Using the normal Google files explorer apps there were countless corrupted files in the "downloads" section. They couldn't be deleted. Some of the folders were oddly replicated. I attempted to use an alternative file explorer app and everything was listed completely fine... Weird, right?

    idk what to do... I guess I should be grateful tbh. If it successfully transferred (and deleted) all my photos from the last 3 years... Oh my god... I think I would actually cry

    Can't transfer files From pc to google pixel3a

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 09:05 AM PDT

    I'm trying to move files from my PC to my google pixel 3a via USB, but in the USB preferences on my phone it defaults to "USB controlled by this device". I can enable file transfer, but only from my phone to my PC, not the other way around.
    When I try to switch to "controlled by connected device", it loads for a few seconds then tells me it can't connect.

    Samsung Galaxy S9 app / battery isses

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:48 AM PDT

    My phone has been acting strange. At first it was discharging extremely fast after 20% and then sometimes dying before it even hit 0%. Last night I put it on the charger at 7:30PM and at 9:00PM it didn't charge at all, despite showing the charge notification. And then this morning some of my apps just straight up disappeared despite still being shown in my app settings. Apps included: Minecraft, Frag PRO Shooter, Space Marshalls 2, and a couple more. They're not on my hidden apps so I'm not sure. The latter issue could just be One UI (because One UI ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) but I'm not sure about my battery. I downloaded AccuBattery and my battery seems to be somewhat healthy despite a 700 mAh estimate decrease in battery. I would really appreciate some help, although I know it is an old phone at this point.

    Transferring pictures to a cloud (CUBOT R9)

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:09 PM PDT

    Hello guys.

    So I just got a new phone because the old one (The cubot in question) got banged up pretty hard. The charging port is busted and it's cracked all over. Luckily, my cousin has the same model, so he offered to help switching batteries and filling my old phone while I transfer my stuff from it. I always transfer my photos to my computer via USB, or just put them on my SD. However, when the cubot asked me if I want SD to be my primary storage, it clearly didn't account for Whatsapp images (of which there are about 3000). Now, I logged out too early to back up my stuff, and lost all of it on the Whatsapp cloud, however I still have them in my gallery without the means of getting them out bar a cloud.

    So what do you suggest? Any good android cloud I could put them on? I tried Google Drive already, but the phone is janky and it only transfers 1000 images at a time. Any suggestions?

    Moto E4 Plus Charging Very Slowly

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:07 PM PDT

    The phone is ~2 years old and has been a great phone for the value. Over the past few days the phone has started taking nearly all day to charge, and loses the charge more rapidly. It has no water/heat/drop damage. I rebooted in safe mode and tried, same result. I did a factory reset, same result. Any other ideas before I try swapping out the battery? And is this a normal battery life for these phones?

    Contact display name android

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:01 PM PDT

    I have my contacts synced using Nextcloud an Davx5. But the way android is managing display name is different from the way Nextcloud (and every other software I use) is doing it.

    For example here is a contact I just created :

    https://pic.infini.fr/wr9mbS7G/bazv1Xkc.png

    And here is his VCard

    BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 FN:Alex N:Smith;Alexandre;;; ORG:Company PRODID:-//Sabre//Sabre VObject 4.1.6//EN REV:2020-08-08T18:30:00Z TEL;TYPE=HOME:+33123456789 UID:d5e07781-4f8b-4e98-9302-503681860048 END:VCARD 

    In Nextcloud everything is clear, my contact has a first and a last name, but his display name is different because I never call him by his full first name.

    But with Google contacts things are not like that and the app display the full name "Alexandre Smith". Even worse, the app doesn't seem to be aware of the existence of this entry (except when searching).

    I tried a lot of third party Apps, and I managed to find only one able to be aware of this field, this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.psencik.com.android.contacts&hl=en. But the entry only display when I am editing the contact wich is not what I want.

    So my question is, can I find a way to have a display name different from the full name on android ? And without workaround (like using phonetic name). And that will work with other apps, like whatsapp or nextcloud.

    If I have to root or to install a custom rom to get this feature I might do it. If you need any more piece of information, just ask.

    Others : My phone is a Redmi note 8T running MIUI 11.0.9 (Android 9)

    Is there an app that automatically is able to emulate a finger slide in whatever orientation I set it to?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:04 AM PDT

    For example, set it at a timer of like 5 seconds, then it will emulate a finger slide from bottom to top.

    Uninstalled a factory app accidentally...

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:56 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    So I have a galaxy s8 on T-Mobile. Yesterday I was going through some apps to make room. There was one app I wasn't sure of it's use, so I uninstalled it. I don't remember it's name, but I remember it had a green check mark as it's app icon.

    Ever since then, every 5 minutes I get a notification popup saying "please insert factory UICC device and restart". There is also a notification in my taskbar from "OMADM" saying "The profile update could not be completed". If I click on that notification, the OMADM green check mark looked the same as the green on I accidentally uninstalled. So obviously I think I uninstalled a piece of OMADM.

    I tried factory resetting and the issue still persists. My phone still works fine besides that.

    How can I either install what I removed accidentally or block the notification temporarily (I can't disable the OMADM notification)

    I appreciate any help

    Google Play Store doesn't automatically offer app update.

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 11:17 AM PDT

    My Redmi Note 8t is running Android 9 with the latest available stable update but there is one app that store never offers an update even though if I manually search it, I'll see it. It's Grindr. Grindr support says there's nothing wrong with their configuration on the Store and the updates are offered successfully.

    I've removed my Google account from the device (and added it again) but the Store still won't automatically offer the update on the updates list.

    How come the store can't auto-offer the update but manually searching it will be fine?

    Is it safe to use the Google Play Services beta?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    I want to try Nearby Share on my phone, but I'm concerned that it will break the Play Services. Keep in mind, I want to download the beta from the Play Store, not from an APK. Thanks!

    Can't unlock my phone

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    I broke my old phone's screen, I eventually bought a new one and recently decided to replace the screen and give this phone to my mom. The problem is I don't remember the unlock pattern and because I just turned it on I can't use the fingerprint scan. In my Google account it says the last time the phone was synchronized was in March (when I last used it) but the phone automatically connected to my house's wifi and doesn't sync. Any suggestions on how to unlock? (I know I could just go to the boot and delete everything but I was trying to not go there)

    Sorry for bad English.

    Image from Google account

    Edit: I don't see any prompt under the login window that says "Forgot pattern"

    Removing Upday from my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:50 AM PDT

    I've recently been given a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (WiFi). I like the tablet but have changed my launcher from whatever Samsung shipped it with to Nova.

    I checked my battery usage after a couple of days and noticed that an app called Upday seems to use 5% of my battery between charges. I looked it up and apparently it's a news feed that's part of the launcher Samsung make and I don't use.

    Is there a way to remove it from my tablet and, if so, is it safe to do so? If it is, does anybody know what other bits of bloat are also safe to remove? For example, I don't need phone or texting apps on a tablet that isn't connected to a mobile network and I don't need a "Tips" app to tell me how to use my tablet.

    It looks like Samsung have made their own version of every Google app and they're all worse and I'm not going to use them (I don't know why I have a galaxy store).

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Can I use Android phone on home wi-fi without carrier/data plan?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:24 AM PDT

    I'm a web developer and iPhone user who'd like to test my websites on Android. Can I buy an unlocked Android phone, maybe one like the Google Pixel 4a, and just connect it to my Wi-Fi network to view my websites or do I still need to purchase a SIM and a data plan from a carrier like Verizon or T-Mobile in order to use the browser? I don't want to place voice calls or use the browser away from home; I simply want to use the phone's browser on my local Wi-Fi network to test my websites. Thanks.

    Will SafetyNet work again if I re-lock my bootloader?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 09:46 AM PDT

    Let's say I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom ROM. This means that SafetyNet won't work, because the bootloader is unlocked.

    If I flash the Stock ROM and re-lock the bootloader does SafetyNet work again?

    Galaxy S-10+ on Rogers network: last two weekends in a row my mobile data has turned off on its own

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 06:55 AM PDT

    We have a vacation property north of us. The last two weekends we were here at around 1am I found my mobile data was turned off in the settings menu. Last time I had to call the service provider and they directed me to check the settings and it was off.

    Would this be an app or a system preference? I'm very confused.
