    Google, why should I switch to YouTube Music if I cannot control playback from the lock screen like Google Play?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 06:26 AM PDT

    I don't want to switch to YouTube Music. But I guess I don't have a choice.

    How do I remove screenshots from showing in the notifications?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 10:26 AM PDT

    I just updated to Android 10 a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying the dark mode a lot, but one thing that's been annoying is that screenshots show up in the notifications. In the picture linked, you can see I have screenshots unchecked in the system UI notifications, yet they still show up. I've already made sure that it's been unchecked and then restarted my phone a couple times the past couple days and they still show up.

    Phone randomly freezes and text messages getting lost in the mix

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:59 PM PDT

    Hi all. I'm currently on Android 11 and was also on the last 2 betas and I've experienced this issue on all 3 versions. My phone randomly and constantly freezes out of nowhere and my only recourse is to hard reboot the device, sometimes up to 3 times. I've noticed that almost every time it does freeze, someone eventually reaches out to me asking why I never responded to their text message. Problem is, I never get them. The device freezes at almost the same time my phone is receiving texts and then they get lost in the mix. I'm on the latest stable. I did a full factory reset on the last beta, but the problem persisted. Anyone else experiencing similar issues on Android 11?

    How Do You Remove the Backgrounds on Icons?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:55 PM PDT

    They try to make every icon a square (that's fine) but every icon that isn't a square they put a white background over it, it looks awful. Is there an icon pack or some other way to make them like on old android versions?

    Fast Network Operator change

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:21 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I need to change my network operator twice a day on my OnePlus 5T - Android 10. Since I'm living in europe and i have the Fair-use policy this would not be a Problem. Unfortunately my work place is bordering on switzerland so when i have automatic selection, it always changes to the swiss operator which costs me around 10 bucks per MB!

    So disabling Roaming is not an option, automatic operator change is not an option.

    Even Settings shortcuts are not an option since you cannot link to the right setting, not even the parent category.

    Is there any shortcut or possibility for a script i could write to change at least to the menu, it costs me around 10-15 mins per day which is, really unnerving for me.

    Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

    Thanks!

    What custom ROM can I install on an Intel-based SoC Android smartphone (Leagoo T5c)?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:18 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    New here as a poster/question-asker, but I've come here often to find answers to questions I had, so I thought I might as well go all-in and ask one myself.

    The title says it all, I think, but just in case: I have this Leagoo T5c smartphone that I bought on the cheap two and a half men years ago, and that's been stuck with Android 7.0 "Nougat" ever since.

    It's got a Spreadtrum-turned-Unisoc SC9853i-IA SoC.

    I'd like to upgrade the phone to a newer version of Android, but the information I got here and there about that is somewhat contradictory: Some people will say that all I have to do is root the device (been there, done that), then pick a ROM that's "widely compatible" with the SoC, when others will say that this SoC is a thing of its own, and I might as well just forget about upgrading or I'll find myself up poop creek in no time, flat.

    So, which is which? Is there anyone here who knows that phone, or another based on the same SoC (Panasonic Eluga Ray 800, I see you), who could give me some input here?

    My phone is minimizing apps constantly after update

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:09 PM PDT

    It is going to take a long time to write this so I will keep it brief (apps minimizing constantly)

    Ive checked for viruses and cleared my phone of unused applications thinking it is a ram issue. No justice. I'd like to avoid a hard reset because I have game progress I dont want to loose (the sims)

    What is the cause of this? Any recourse? Galaxy A41

    How to recover the status bar on Android 11?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 08:21 AM PDT

    Ever since I updated to Android 11, some apps have started hiding the "status bar". Is there a way to force the "status bar" into staying visible?

    Clearing out photos. Blank (!) Photos left, can't delete? (Samsung Galaxy A5 2017)

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 11:43 AM PDT

    Long story short, After trying to sort through my photos for a while with no success, I decided to just put them all on my PC and sort them that way, I've deleted them all from my phone and from Samsung Cloud so I can clear them all off from my phone and start afresh.

    So I've removed them all from my phone, however when viewing on Samsung Gallery app on my phone, I have 6 photos just greyed out with an ! on them, deleting doesn't work and they don't appear looking via my files. I also have an unnamed album with 4 of the same "photos". How can I get rid of them for good?

    Thank you!

    How do I get the drop down menu on Android eleven to show nine icons again?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    I upgraded to android eleven on my Pixel two the other day and the drop down menu is driving me nuts. I am used to it having nine icons at once and now it is only showing six. Is there any way to change it back to nine? This is so frustrating. Why did they have to go and make such a stupid change?

    Updating an app with less than 500MB free space

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 07:34 AM PDT

    Does anyone know a way to force an app to update with less than 500 MB of free space on the device. I can't update apps because I am low on space, but I don't have anything else I wish to get rid of.

    It would be nice to just force the update. I know I have more than 100x the space it will need to update.

    How to group files by folder instead of individually in the native Google Files app on Pixel.

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT

    After upgrading to Android 11, it seems you can't group or sort files by folder anymore, they just list them individually, is there a way to change this so it groups by folder?

    Bubbles in Android 11 Question - WhatsApp?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 07:11 AM PDT

    Has anyone been able to use the new Bubble notifications in Android 11 with WhatsApp? It exists in the notification settings, everything is enabled for them to work, but no icon appears in the notification shade next to the conversation. Has anyone had any luck with this?

    Another thing to mention is Facebook Messenger doesn't support it currently, though a lot of articles online mention it, but as far as I'm aware it's still in only the beta version?

    Cheers guys!

    Is there any way to save downloaded files from an app to Downloads and not to the app folder?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    Most apps do not have the option to choose where to download downloaded files, for example I want files downloaded from Tumblr to be saved to Downloads folder not the Tumblr folder

    Is there a way to force Android 10 to give an app access to the external SD card without the app asking for that access? (AT&T LG Velvet 5g, but should be device independent)

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 10:52 AM PDT

    I used this trick for old Android Firefox to change the download directory from the default folder to a folder of my choosing. It worked great as long as the folder I chose was on my internal storage. Downloads would fail when I chose a location on my SD card. I assume that's because Firefox doesn't have or ask for external storage access. Is there a way to force Android to give an app external storage access it hasn't asked for?

    I'm not rooted and don't want to be for now.

    I am able to use ADB.

    It seems like all app cloners on playstore are either filled with ads or payed.

    Do you find it worth it to get a phone with 90hz screen?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    I recently jumped the hype and have experienced the 90hz screen of the realme 6. my experience so far has been disappointing. I find that alot of apps still doesn't support 90hz display and even scrolling through reddit or chrome gives me constant lag and stutters. Could just be a bad/unoptimized software but I find it useless at the moment that phones like the POCO X3 will come with a 120hz screen but you won't really get to maximize it. Not to mention the bad software from these brands.

    do you think a 90hz screen or higher is worth it at its current state?

    Android 10 Question?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    I just bought a Moto E with Android 10 and the first thing I did was accidentally click a weird link in my email (dumb, I know). I factory reset my phone in case anything had been installed on the user level, changed passwords, etc. but was wondering - is there a way to check to see if there's something on the OS level that's been modified? First time user of Android 10 and wanted to make sure the device was secure, especially since I just bought it. Thanks!

    My Moto G7 just got Android 10, where is the battery charge indicator for the lock screen?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    I used to have a big and useful battery charge indicator on the lock screen but it's gone since I updated. Now all I have is that pathetically small and unreadable text on the top right battery indicator and I can't find an option to restore the indicator on the lock screen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
