    Android Questions: Do apps - games run better on Snapdragon chipsets compared to Mediatek and Kirin?


    Do apps - games run better on Snapdragon chipsets compared to Mediatek and Kirin?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 04:14 AM PDT

    Benchmarks and thermal performance aside, which chipsets are mobile apps and games better optimized for? Some people claim that most mobile game developers tend to optimize their games better for Snapdragon chipsets, rather than Mediatek or Kirin. Is it really like that?

    Is it possible to set a custom aspect ratio on a per app basis?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:56 AM PDT

    Long story short, I'm using the gamevice for some emulation and android games on my phone but the edges of the device cover a small amount of my screen on the left and right ends. So what I want to do is add small black bars on either side to put the screen in the middle of my device. Using Dolphin emulator and RetroArch, there are some functions that I even have to take the device off to press. When games are actually being emulated they are only running in 16:9 or 4:3 so there would be black bars anyways. Any help would be appreciated.

    How do I upgrade my android OS?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 08:37 AM PDT

    Some apk's don't work because the phone version is too old (7.0). How can I upgrade the version to, let's say, android 10?

    I've read something about rooting. How does that work? Is it dangerous?

    Reason for Data Corruption

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    Suddenly my phone's display was unresponsive, and there was nothing on the screen. I saw light in hardware buttons when I tried touching the screen. So, I force shutdown the device and kept booting it. After 2 failed boots I saw a similar screen like this image and factory reset my data. After that, it's working fine. I want to know what can be the reason for data corruption?

    My device was showing a warning for low internal storage when it was working. I suspect that led to data corruption. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

    30w+ charging cables

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:20 AM PDT

    Serious question. I dont find any usb a to usb c cable which supports more than 18w. Almost all are limited to 5A/3V. You can buy a usb c / usb c cable which goes up to 100w but then again there are no power supplies for that. An adapter for usb c/ usb c to usb a cable is also not an option since the limitation to 2.4A. So what now

    Can I charge my Samsung A20 even though it says its overheating when it isn't?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:11 AM PDT

    I have a 1 year old A20 that has stopped charging, and has no battery, because it claims to be overheating when it is not hot at all. I'm considering trying to charge it in case the battery can recharge enough to make the phone function. Anyone else had this problem?

    Notifications on watch problem

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT

    Hello,

    for some time, I have problem with notifications on my Kronaby watch. It notify me about calls, sms and calendar, but Im not getting anything from apps liks email, fb or msg. Figured out, that I need to go to [settings > additional settings > privacy > special app access > notification access] and toggle the switch for Kronaby off and on again (or move to on, if in the off position). Than it works until the next restart. This is so annoying to do every day. Does anyone know how to solve this? Im using Xiaomi 9T.

    Full Admin privileges

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:15 AM PDT

    Say hypothetically you gave an app from the play store full Admin privileges to your phone, what is the biggest risk, and what could have potentially been compromised?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:30 AM PDT

    ...because batteries are the only thing that freak me out when looking at used ones. I am currently interested in a Samsung Galaxy S10e.

    Thank you!

    Is it possible to move files from an Android phone to a windows 10 PC using ADB/USB Debugging?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:07 AM PDT

    Hi, recently I dropped my OnePlus3T and now the display is broken and I can't control the phone. Also when plugged into the computer it claims the phone is empty even though it recognizes it.

    I still get text messages, so I assume that the phone actually still works.

    Anyway, a while back I installed ADB "platform-tools" on my computer to change some settings with Tasker and I was wondering if it would be possible to use the platform-tools to access Android files from command line in Windows 10

    Xiaomi note 9 pro emulators can't access storage.

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:46 AM PDT

    My friend has a xiaomi note 9 pro running latest OS, not rooted. I installed msx.emu & tried fMSX but neither can access storage when looking for ROM files downloaded to "Download" folder. Msx.emu showed an error that it doesn't have access.

    I checked apps permission, they both are allowed to access storage, cleared cache, data, restarted the phone. What else can be the problem? A xiaomi aggressive setting somewhere? Apps aren't asking for permission like they're supposed to in newer android versions so they get auto denied?

    I had no trouble playing MSX games on my Oneplus 7T.

    Unable to download to K51

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    Wherever I try to download something to my new K51, and it's not on the app store, it prompts me to select a destination because I don't have an SD card. There's only one option from the dropdown menu; the downloads folder. Selecting that and saying okay just triggers the same notification again, and doesn't let me download anything. Space isn't an issue, I have more than enough.

    Any solutions? I don't want to buy an SD card if I don't have to.

    How to set a song to play from the beginning as an alarm?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:27 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Before today, whenever I set an alarm on the Android clock app I selected a song (from my phone's storage) as the alarm sound and the phone would ask if I wanted it to play from the beginning or from a halfway point.

    I tried to set a new alarm today and when I select a song there's no longer an option to play the song from the beginning. It just automatically starts playing the song from wherever it feels like (depending on the song). This might seem like a small thing, but it's really annoying as I want to use a specific song as an alarm and have it play from the beginning, but now it starts halfway through and when I tried a few different songs it seems random as to where the music starts playing...

    Has the option to have the song play from the beginning been removed?

    Way to download embedded videos in android app

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 05:12 AM PDT

    I want to know if I can download videos which are embedded in a app. The developers have made their own video player in java. I can access the videos but don't want to use screen recorder as there are many of them.

    Question: Any nice alternative to ScrCpy, which supports Unicode?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 04:50 AM PDT

    I use ScrCpy as a nice mirroring tool via the PC. It works very well and together with "sndCpy" it could even mirror sound from Android to PC.

    Sadly it doesn't support Unicode typing, at least not yet.

    I've noticed Mirroid supports it, but the developer of ScrCpy claims they are shady as they copied his code without checking the license and in general didn't behave nicely (here), so I'm trying to avoid it. Plus it has its own issues, and to handle the Unicode typing it switches to its own keyboard.

    Is there any other free mirroring app (between PC and Android), that could allow me to type in Unicode?

    Choose Audio / Microphone Source

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:57 AM PDT

    I'm trying to record audio on my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (Android One) through my Bose 700 Bluetooth Headphones.

    But no matter which app I choose, the audio is recorded through the internal microphone.

    This holds even for open camera which actually allows to choose from different audio sources.

    Is there a way to set the headphone microphone as the standard audio source?

    Repurpose a Galaxy S7 Edge (Verizon) with a Broken Screen?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 04:35 AM PDT

    I was recently gifted a Galaxy S7 Edge (Verizon), and almost the entire screen is broken--not just the glass, but the display behind it--rendering it useless for any phone functions. Unfortunately because of this, I'm locked out of the phone due to too many pattern attempts, so I cannot install a VNC server, or the like.

    Is there a way to flash a version of Android, or, better yet, Linux, that I can use remotely without the need to go through the physical screen? Ideally I could ssh into it and use it as a personal server at home, but I will settle for a remote display such as VNC.

    I'm a low-level mobile developer (C/asm, custom kernel modules) who is no stranger to ODIN, adb, etc, but I'm coming up empty here. I'm willing to potentially brick the phone (as far as I know, the thing is worthless in this condition) but I'd rather not solder anything or otherwise modify the hardware.
