    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 05:59 AM PDT

    I got a new phone last year and ever since I have been keeping my S8 in a drawer, but every time I take it out I feel like it's a great phone and I can put it to use some how. Any ideas of creative ways I can use this phone on a daily basis some how?

    How can I use pics from the gallery instead of taking new ones?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 06:55 AM PDT

    A few years ago I had, on my former phone, an app called GalleryCam, that allowed you to select it as a camera inside other apps, and then pick Pictures from your Phone Gallery instead of taking a new one. I installed the app again today, as well as several others, but no matter what I tired to do, no app let me chose which camera I wanted to use. Can this be fixex? Is it still possible to use already taken pictures in applications that only allow new?

    How to block access to Youtube in non-rooted android?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:47 PM PDT

    My father has some medical issues and he is always watching youtube videos related to it and becomes stressed. I want to completely block any access to Youtube to spare him of any unnecessary info from shitty youtube videos.

    He is using a Redmi 6 running on latest Miui.

    Edit: Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry for not mentioning this earlier, we don't use router.

    Sleep&Lock timeouts: only dims screen, does not lock

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    Let me start by saying I know the difference between screen timeout and lock timeout and where to find them.

    Android on Pixel 2

    Smart lock is disabled. There are no "trusted" locations or devices enabled.

    Settings>advanced>screen timeout is set to 15 seconds.

    Settings>Security>Screen Lock>[gear]>Automatically Lock is set to immediately after sleep.

    Wait 15 seconds, the screen only dims and it does not lock. Tap to brighten screen, not locked.

    Apparently it now never goes black unless I press the power button. Pressing the power button shuts off screen and it is locked upon awakening. This is the behavior I want to the sleep/lock timeouts.

    I am reasonably sure is used to work this way. Not sure which how which update started the new behavior. Could there be some other app or setting which interferes with screen sleep timer and automatic lock?

    How to send SMS with Google chat feature enabled?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    So I got Chat feature about a week ago and it works good except i cant figure out how to send SMS message now...

    I get that prioritize RCS but what if i want to send SMS specifically, I can't see any option. It only allows me to choose if i turn off all internet connection.

    My understanding is that it supposed to switch automatically, but if recipient doesn't have connection i have no idea if he/she received the message and how to send it as SMS

    Customizable Phone App?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    Hi, so I can't stand the phone app anymore, and was hoping there's a good alternative.

    90% of the time, I use the phone app to call a single person, everyone else is mostly text/email/video-call, yet there's no option to have the "just call this one person" screen. The result is that I keep going to call them and miss-click someone else, then I have to awkwardly explain that I "butt dialed" them, because there is no confirmation ("are you sure you wanted to call X?"), even if I hang up before it even rings, they get a missed call from me.

    Does anyone know about a phone app that doesn't force you to list all your recent calls/contacts and just lets you make a custom "who I call the most" page?

    How to pin a particular Google Hangouts conversation in SHARE?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    Pixel 4xl, Android 10

    It's there some step in missing? It's there a third party app which will let me pin a Google Hangouts chat with say, Mary?

    Let's compare: * Share pinned GOOGLE MESSAGES with particular person Done! Two steps * Share > pinned WhatsApp conversation with intended recipient -- two steps & done! * Share > Hangouts > choose account > choose recipient FOUR STEPS!!

    If this instead possible, Why is Google hamstringing their OWN software?

    Why am I getting scores for every single baseball game this season?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:57 AM PDT

    My phone is a Pixel 3a running stock unrooted Android and I keep it up to date. I've gone into the Google app and made sure only the team I'm interested in shows in the "Topics you Follow" list, but to no avail. I'm getting all the scores for every game in MLB right now. This wasn't the case last season and I can't figure out how to change the setting.

    Battery friendly browser?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    I use Firefox as my main browser because I like to be able to put my tabs in any order, but it drains my battery a ridiculous amount. I do browse the Internet a lot bc I do a lot of studying on my phone, but to give you an idea of just jow bad it is, I used Firefox for 26 minutes today and accidentally left it running in the background for 16 minutes. In this time Firefox drained 6.8% of my battery. Is there a browser for android that allows you to reorder your tabs and doesn't annihilate battery life?

    Is ytmp3 safe if i use uBlock?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 01:26 AM PDT

    So ive been using ytmp3 for about 2 years and ive never had problems with it downloading malware or anything. But i stumbled on a thread yesterday where someone said that ytmp3 was bad because it downloaded some ytmp3.cc thing that messes with the browser. Ive never had such an issue although the site did have alot of pop-ups and redirects back when i used characters rome but i was always careful not to press anything, and ever since swotching to firefox and using ublock ive never seen any pop ups and ublock only ever stopped 1 redirect other than that the site does do anything.

    So is it really bad for an android even if you use adblock? and if so any suggestions for a better yt to mp3 converter?

    Recover data from Redmi Note 5 with black screen

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 09:32 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    some days ago my Redmi note 5 decited to not show anything on screen except the backlight, so i decided to connect it to my pc in order to recover my files.

    Problem being, the phone also restarted during the screen change, so i cannot enable either usb debugging or mtp mode before completing the lock screen pattern, which i can't do since the screen also doesnt seem to recognize any sort of touch functions. if i connect a mouse via otg i can sometimes hear somesounds and vibrations, meaning the phone itself is not dead aside the screen.

    Can you help me recover my files either via software or hardware solution?

    HELP: s10e will not and cannot turn on. Water Damage?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 08:29 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I've been scouring the internet for an answer to my problem, and has only led to frustrations. I seem to have a unique problem.

    Yesterday, I managed to drop the phone into a bath (was in there less than 2 seconds) I proceeded to stand it up so the water could drain out of any of the sockets. From here, it turned off. Once I attempted to turn it on by plugging it in 30minutes afterwards, it started to loudly beep and vibrate while having a black screen. From here, I placed it into a bag of rice, into a wardrobe and left it overnight since I could not turn it on or do a hard reset.

    The morning after, the beeping stopped and after a short while on charge, I managed to turn it on. However, it then died once again. And I am trying to turn it on now. The beeping has stopped, I have tried to use a hard reset (power button & volume down button), I have spammed the power button, I've held down for several minutes. I've left it in rice for a few more hours and a few other things.

    It currently says I have 54% battery on the black screen (not the lock screen). However, if I remove the charging cable, and then plug it back in, it will say I have no charge at all. Only for it to then come up after saying I have 54%.

    Is there any other way to turn on? The power button doesn't seem to work at all.

    Thanks guys

    Why is my camera orange in most modes on Resurrection Remix OS?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:10 PM PDT

    In video it's fine, when I go to take a picture it changes to be super orange unless I put it on a different mode, panorama seems to change it to be normal for some reason. Changing the white balance on the default mode in different camera apps helps somewhat but the pictures still don't end up looking true to life.

    Cat with camera now: https://i.imgur.com/3PrlB2s.jpeg, you can see everything is super orange

    Cat before I flashed this rom: https://i.imgur.com/uTQhhYt.png

    What could be causing that? It didn't happen when I had the stock rom. I have a redmi note 8. Tried opencamera and footej and they give the same issue

    [Help][TWRP][lake] Yet again, Fastboot stuck on “Sending 'boot.img'”

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 05:26 AM PDT

    Trying to temporarily boot TWRP recovery image twrp-3.4.0-0-lake.img on my unlocked Motorola Moto G7 Plus.

    Phone is connected via USB Type-C to Type-C cord from the box to my laptop running Linux (Manjaro 20.0.3) Live USB system.

    When I run ./fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-lake.img or ./fastboot boot boot.img (same file, renamed) with and without sudo, it always gets stuck at Sending 'boot.img' (30080 KB) doing nothing.

    Bootloader logs section of fastboot mode shows cmd: download:01d60000.

    The PC I use now is the only PC that helped me to actually unlock the bootloader. Other PCs I have were not able to send correct fastboot commands (for example, oem help transformed to oem helpersion, and oem get_unlock_data cut to oem get_unlock). Those PCs had regular USB Type-A 3.0 ports, so I connected them to my phone with corresponding 3rd-party cable. It might be of insufficient quality though.

    All files are located near to the root of extrenal SSD connected to another Type-C port, so the absolute paths to TWRP image and fastboot executable should not be too long.

    Type-C cords are new and OK.

    Motorola doesn't distribute Linux drivers for their devices.

    What else could be wrong here? Please help. Any advice is appreciated.

    Will update this post later with my own findings as well for people who could stumble a similar problem.

    Update 1

    Tried fastboot boot boot.img on another PC. It is also running Linux (Ubuntu 20.04). Connection is from Type-A to Type-C. Wire is good. No noticeable changes. Main issue persists.
