    Android Questions: Can anyone help me get a specific Google clock sound?


    Can anyone help me get a specific Google clock sound?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 05:02 AM PDT

    I wanna download this "deep space" Sound in screenshot on phone rather than go to app just to listen it.

    Unlocked or Locked for wifi only?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:19 AM PDT

    Hi there all! I want to buy an android phone BUT I don't need a carrier and will only be using it for wifi calls/messaging. Should I buy an unlocked phone? Or can I get one locked to a carrier but just ignore it? Right now for example I'm looking at a Moto g power and it's much cheaper (via Target and Walmart) to get it linked to Consumer Cellular postpaid etc.

    Thanks for any advice!

    Where to find shortcuts

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 08:57 AM PDT

    Im using a couple of apps that let you add some shortcuts to them, for easy access (zone launcher and bottom quick settings)

    In ny home screen, for example, instead of the main Youtube page I have a shortcut (long press in the app) that redirects me to my subscription page instead (I dunno if its a vanilla feature or this is allowed by Sesame shortcuts)

    How can I access those shortcuts from anywhere else? Im trying to add those types of shortcuts to other apps but I cant find a way to achieve it.

    Anyone knows?

    Facebook app: Why does it require Such Drastic Measures To Permanently Remove?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    I've already read posts from here and elsewhere on the web about how to remove the Facebook app. What I don't understand is why is it so tightly integrated into the phone? Is this more of an android thing in general or phone branding? Was someone paid off or what?

    Weird app installed on my xiaomi phone

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 01:14 AM PDT

    I have a redmi 7 and I was going to uninstall some app that I don't need anymore. I open the standard cleaner for xiaomi, and go on the app, then I noticed this weird app called champions, it size is 11.82 megabytes, it has no image. I never had something like that on my phone and this app doesn't have any image. Moreover, if I try to use another file explorer I can't find it Do you guys have any idea?

    Privacy/Security implications from using an outdated phone?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:52 AM PDT

    I bought a Oneplus 5T at launch (November 2017) and will no longer be receiving any more updates. Android 10 was released (OxygenOS) but it is still somewhat buggy. I am using the 5T with an unlocked bootloader, and a custom Android 10 ROM with no root, and with MicroG.

    Any dangers with using this device without any software support?

    The 5T doesn't have a LOS 17.1 maintainer, so I have to rely on custom ROMs. My main reason for not wanting to upgrade to newer phone is mainly just because I don't see the need hardware-wise. The phone is still really fast, I have not had a slowdown. I was previously on the Oneplus One and that phone felt slow after 3 years, but the 5T still feels brand new. My battery life is still really good. I used Battery Charge Limit to limit chargin to 80% and as a result, my battery wear is only 10%. I feel that the 5T has at least 2 years left, and phones are still way too expensive today to just get rid of the 5T.

    Touch screen special problem (please read, I'm not asking for tech support but for advice)

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:43 AM PDT

    Hey there!

    TL;DR: I don't know what to google, research and look for, with a presumably software issue with my touch screen.

    I'm having this particular special problem with my touch screen. The bottom right corner of the screen doesn't response well when I touch, sometimes it doesn't work, or I do have to press it stronger to make it work.

    Thing is, when I rotate the phone, the bottom right corner is still not working properly. I mean, the issue rotates too.

    So this makes me think about it being a software issue, instead of a hardware one. (And I haven't flashed anything, just vanilla lastest version of android for my phone.

    Also, I've read in a post/comment from 2015 in another site (search for "top left") that this happened also happened to someone else.

    If it matters, I have a Moto G5S Plus.

    Edit: A word.

    Also, I may add, my GF and me both have the same phone model, mine being an older one and her's the newer.

    Can I prevent instant apps or PWA's from installing when saving a link to home screen in Chrome?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:11 AM PDT

    I'm on Android 10 and the Twitter mobile site only installs when adding to home, I'd like just a short cut. I was able to get around this with instagram buy setting chrome to desktop then add to home screen, then turning desktop off. Can't do that with Twitter though.

    Location icon now always on. What app is causing it?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:10 AM PDT

    Is there a way to see what app is making the "location" icon appear on the status bar? It used to never be there except when certain apps were being used and now its on even when no apps are running.

    Wifi requires full signal to connect after update to 10

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    I have an LG G8s thinq, a terrible phone anyway, since the latest update to android 10 my phone needs wifi signal full signal to connect to WiFi. If it doesnt have full singal it doesnt auto connect and even if I press connect it just cycles through 'connecting' then 'saved' and doesn't connect. I'm using it at home in places I used to be able to connect and now can't. Is there an issue with this update? I've reset the network settings and still have the same problem. Its almost like the phone is deciding the signal isn't optimum so it won't connect but I don't get cell signal at home so even if its a weak WiFi signal its better than nothing. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Best Tablet with Google Pixel Phones?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 07:20 AM PDT

    Since Google has stopped making tablet devices and never made it big on that department, what tablet works best with a Google Pixel phone? I know of the new Samsung Tab S7/S7+ but the app market for Android just isn't as big as Apple. For example, GoodNotes and Notability are only on the App Store. On the other hand, I don't own an Apple device so I'm not sure if buying an iPad Pro is the best option either. The syncing and compatibility might be pretty annoying.

    I'll mainly be using this device to take virtual notes and occasional media consumption. Any advice would be much appreciated 😄

    Google Chrome crashes whenever I try to download a picture

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:49 AM PDT

    Since I updated to Android 10, my Google Chrome app crashes every time I try to download a picture and I have to visit the site the picture is posted to in order to be able to save it. I've never had this problem before and it's really annoying. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    My phone can't read SD card after factory reset.

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    It was working fine until the reset. I unplugged my sd card, and did the reset after. Now phone can't read any sd card. I did reset my phone many times before and this problem never occured. Sd cards works just fine, so there must be something wrong with the phone but I don't know what.

    For how much longer is Android 9 going to be viable?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    I'm looking into purchasing a new phone, currently looking at 2017 xperia xz phones, everything satisfies me, i have android 9 on my current phone, and i find it quite decent, i don't feel like i need a os upgrade, but would it be a smart idea to buy a phone that only upgrades till android 9 if i plan to get atleast 2-3 years out of it? I mostly only use social media, videocalling, video watching, photography, don't game.

    How can I consistently reproduce the Chrome hang bug on Android 10?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:06 AM PDT

    Onenote on my OPPO X2 Neo running Android 10 looks different than on my Moto Z2 running Android 8.1

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:01 AM PDT

    On my Z2 it looks how it should with the different tabs on the bottom but I haven't got the tabs on my OPPO. Both are up to date with same version number. Can't access sticky notes on Oppo 🤔

    Oppo Reno3 vs Huawei P30

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 04:59 AM PDT

    I'm not sure if this is better posted here or /r/android, but I may be considering picking up one of these.

    The Oppo seems better on paper specs-wise and is about $200USD cheaper.

    I hear, however, that their Color OS is not so great. Aside from that, are there any other issues? Overall I hear better things about the P30, but the price jump when looking at the specs compared to the Reno3 seems unwarranted.

    Since there are some regional differences that GSMArena may not list, I am posting the links to my phone company's spec pages for each model:

    https://mineo.jp/device/smartphone/reno3-a/

    https://mineo.jp/device/smartphone/huawei-p30/

    Both phones not having wireless charging is definitely a minus, but it seems like I can buy one of those USB-to-wireless pads I can just place behind the phone when it's in a case so that solves that (to some extent).

    how to automatically upload screenshots and media files from sources like whatsapp to google photos?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 02:46 AM PDT

    I've been looking on the internet for a solution but they either don't work because I don't have the option to perform the required action or they just tell you how to prevent google photos from uploading screenshots and others automatically.

    Any ideas? I'm running Android 9.

    My pictures that I take with my Camera are uploaded just fine but my screenshots and pictures sent to my via whatsapp stay saved locally and I don't want to manually upload my screenshots each time I make one

    Hello everyone I need some help. A while ago i had my phone's aux and charger socket replaced. When i droped off my phone,it's battery was 40 percent. But after the guy assembled it ,the battery was dead and i had to connect the charger to turn it on. I dont know what happened to that 40 percent. Now it only charges up to 88 percent max. Did the battery reset or sth? Calibrating didn't work either . What do i do? Thank you in advance.

    My phone keeps running out of storage and I don't know why

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 08:12 AM PDT

    I have a Nokia 7.1 for about a year and I love it, I just have one big problem with it, it keeps running out of storage space for no apparent reason. Some time ago I noticed my storage space is running out so I decided to delete some photos and files, I deleted some and had enough space but not too long after my phone was notifying me I am running out of storage again. I haven't installed any new apps and I haven't taken that many new pics so it was really weird. After some frustration and no other solutions I decided to factory reset my phone and start a new. All was well and good for about 3 months and then I suddenly get another message saying I'm running out of storage. I've tried storing most of my photos and videos in my sd card but I still can't manage to make enough room, it is as if my phone is generating some secret files and is taking up storage space. Another weird thing is when I enter my phone's settings it says I have 40 GB of photos, and when I use google files (my phone is android 10 so that's it's file explorer) it tells me all of my photos only take up 6 GB. I haven't figured it out and I would really appreciate some advice so I won't have to reset my phone again. I also should say I'm not from the US

    Edit: It turned out i just had tons of photos telegram was downloading Automatically
