    The 9gag app appeared by itself and reappears even after uninstalling many times.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    I don't remember downloading it. It just appeared. I have Updated it, removed it from my playstore library, scanned my phone with the stock scanner but it still reappears by it self. Searched google too but couldn't find any solution.

    Please help.

    Device: Samsung Galaxy A 70

    Android Version: 10

    Location: India

    Thank you.

    Edit: Launcher: Nova Pro

    Can you tell me what these apps are that are just a string of five numbers? They use up data but I can't delete them and I don't know what they do. These different apps used around 15 GB of data last month!!

    Upto what extent can someone spy on me assuming that-

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:32 AM PDT

    •My phone's not rooted.

    •The guy got hold off my phone for like 5 minutes.

    •The guy had no other resources like PC or something to assist him. Just my phone and an internet connection.

    I know the question seem stupid but please don't joke about it. I'm legit worried.

    By what extent I mean could he see only my messages and passwords or stored media or even upto my video calls and all?

    [QUESTION] Why do medium/low end phones have poor performance despite decent hardware?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    I've had an iPhone for a few years and just came back to android. I picked up an LG Stylo 6 and was blown away how slow it is. Even just scrolling on the home screen there is noticeable stutter on the screen. Basic tasks like web browsing have noticeable lag as well. Now I know this isn't a top end phone, but I can't believe in 2020 that a phone with an octa core processor and 3gb of RAM can't even handle basic tasks without slowing down. These specs are comparable to a Galaxy Note 3 or 4 from a few years back, and those phones were blazing fast in their generation so I don't understand why phones nowadays with similar specs are so slow. It's only been a few years, software shouldn't be that much more demanding I wouldn't think, at least not for basic tasks.

    Sorry if this has been discussed many times in the past or not...

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:06 PM PDT

    I have an older ZTE phone (not my main phone), it says YouTube is updated but it keeps telling me that "400 error network issue". I cleared the cache and the data a few times and I even did a factory reset. It never did this before today. It says the error message even trying to sign into an account. Any help would be appreciated.

    Nova Launcher and Pixel Launcher conflicting after Android 11 Update

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:02 PM PDT

    I'm on a pixel 3a and after updating to Android 11, Nova Launcher and Pixel Launcher are conflicting and always competing against each other. Every time I close an app, I get a prompt to choose which launcher to use. No matter how many time I click to always use Nova, I keep getting the prompt. Any advice?

    Lock screen freeze time travel?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:58 AM PDT

    Tl;Dr-- probably just want to read.. I've tried googling and didn't find anything like this, haven't called straight talk yet due to this is the only phone i have access to right now.

    LG Rebel 4(yes the cheapest from Wal-Mart haha) Android 8.1.0(checked for updates; none)

    Straight Talk

    Had phone since January

    I just reinstated service yesterday(last day of service was the 10th of October) and Straight Talk says to restart the phone to make sure both data and call/text is working properly. So I did..

    And then my phone became a dissociative time traveler.

    When it got past the start up screens and on to the lock screen, it showed the date to be October 4th, 2020 and the time to be 1:30pm(actual was October 22nd, 2020 and 7:30pm). Oh, and it showed the service bar as having no services.

    And I couldn't do anything. Couldn't use the power/lock button to turn the screen off, or swipe up to enter my pin. I was able to use the power button to turn the phone on tho. Eventually the screen would go black but I couldn't use the button to turn the screen on again. I originally pulled the battery like 7 times before turning on Skyrim and just forgetting about it, leaving it on, hoping it just needed to charge or something

    But it eventually worked itself out and it showed the correct date/time and I was able to swipe to enter my pin. And the service bars showed 4g Lte. The first time I got in, it did freeze I'm assuming due to all my notifications. So I pulled battery, and restarted.

    Same thing. If I give it like 3 or 4 minutes, it will correct itself. I just restarted my phone again before coming to reddit to post, and again, if if waited it just worked itself out.

    I'm worried that maybe one time I restart it, it won't with itself out.

    I did notice some green/pink ghost lines(??), but only when it got to 5% and only when I scrolled. This stopped immediately when I plugged in the charger. My phone hasn't gotten that low since so it hasn't happened since. Dunno if this is a side effect of the main problem, or a different problem altogether.

    Note: none of these issues ever happened before yesterday, when I turned the phone off and back on after renewing service.

    Thank you in advance!

    Is there an app that will let me control someone else devices (with their permission of course)

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:50 AM PDT

    My mom isn't very good with tech and I'm going away for uni. I've tried telling her basic things and asked her to watch YouTube videos but she just doesn't understand or remember simple things. On Windows, there's a way to let someone remotely control everything on the screen, is there something like this for Android?

    Screen glitch- maybe associated with embedded video?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    Hi- so in the past few weeks I've had a regular issue with websites suddenly glitching and displaying something like this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/jTEqdbr Usually I can restore the page by just scrolling up or down but it takes a few seconds. I tried disabling ads as much as my system will let me and turning off autoplay for videos (which didn't seem to stop them from autoplaying). I have a Motorola G4 Play running Android version 7.1.1. I've tried looking online for a solution but am not having any luck (or am not searching correctly). Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks!

    How to get Data working

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    Hey all So I recently sold my phone and so switched my phone into my backup phone (Moto G3) however the data does not seem to be working. Does anyone know what to do? The APN hasn't come through from them yet, clicking it in settings doesn't work, and I can't add it manually. The phone is rooted with Magisk and running lineageOS 16, if that helps.

    Pixel 4a's Messages app draining battery

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:02 AM PDT

    Hi all, I've noticed the past few days that my messages app is sucking up a large percentage of my Pixel 4a's daily battery. I'm not a power user of my phone, and I don't use the messages app often aside from an occasional family group text. However, you can see at the images below, the app itself is running in the background for a significant period of time compared to how much I have it open on days when I do engage in those group texts:

    Overall battery usage (first example) - https://i.imgur.com/kKjL3tu.png Messages app specifically, same day - https://i.imgur.com/pCBJnNx.png

    Overall battery usage (second example) - https://i.imgur.com/9hjqPeK.png Messages app specifically, same day - https://i.imgur.com/B4GM07a.png

    I've tried clearing cache and forcing the app to stop, but no luck there. Maybe it has something to do with RMS? I'm not sure how exactly that works, but would it be okay to turn that off?

    Thanks in advance!

    Pink Dot Next To Contact Icon

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:54 AM PDT

    I've been Googling this for an hour and can't find anything about it. In my contacts list 2 contacts have a small pink circle next to their contact icon. I text frequently with one of those contacts so I see this dot daily in my main text messages screen and my OCD is really triggered by it being the only one to have this pink dot. I just want to know what is different about these two contacts.

    How to set notification Sound/Silent for individual contact in facebook messenger?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:50 AM PDT

    I'd like to achieve the following in Facebook Messenger:
    - For most contacts the notifications should display silently in the Android notification drawer.
    - For a few chosen contacts the notifications should display with sound in the Android notification drawer.

    Problem is: In Facebook Messenger settings, I can only have either Notification with sound or No notification at all. There is no option for Silent notification for individual contacts.
    In Android setting I can set Facebook Messenger notification to Silent but again it makes all Facebook Messenger notifications silent.

    Does anyone have any idea?

    In my Wifi Data usage there are some strange apps with numbers instead of names like 10377, 10500 etc. Anybody have any idea what's this?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:54 AM PDT

    I have 21 of this kinds of numbers in wifi usage using 300 mb to a mere 500 kb.

    And no it's not uninstalled apps because I have a certain "Removed Apps" in Wifi Usage.

    Apps not working on WIFI but works on mobile Data

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:50 AM PDT

    What I am currently using and what other devices the problem has been reported on:

    I'm using a LG V60 ThinQ 5G but the problem is recurring after upgrading from my LG V30. The V60 is running android 10 and I'm in Canada with Koodo as a carrier and Videotron as a home internet provider with a 140Mbit/s plan and unlimited data. The V30 on the other hand was running Android 9 and service was provided by Bell. The problem also seemed to appear on one of my sister's pixel phones, either the 2 XL or the 3a XL when triying to use Tinder at my place, i don't remember which one exactly and she is also with Koodo. My dad, who owns a iPhone XR, has never witnessed any of these issues.

    Now what the problem is:

    Basically, certain number of apps simply do not work and some others work poorly on WIFI. It can vary from the app simply not loading to the app taking significantly taking longer to load, requiring multiple restarts of the app in order to load or apps needing mobile data to load but can be used to partially with WIFI once it is re-enabled. I will provide a list of apps showing the issues and describing their issue. The odd part is that the problem can vary from one wifi network to the other. My home WIFI being home to most of these problems and my work WIFI showing some of these and with varying effects. Some networks such as the one at my sister's apartment works completely fine so even tough it seems like it is a Wi-Fi/Network issue, the issue is only manifested on android phones and multiple ones.

    The issue is really important to fix since most Canadian service providers either do not offer unlimited data plans or offers them for a ridiculous price that really only a someone making over 200k a year could afford.

    What apps work and don't work:

    Hopefully some one who knows how these apps are coded may see a pattern in the one that works and the ones that don't. perhaps bringing us closer to a solution

    APP Description of the App Effect at home Effect at work
    Facebook/Messenger Social Media Works Works
    YouTube Video Streaming Needs multiple restarts Works
    Instagram Social Media Works Works
    Spotify Music streaming Takes about 30 more seconds to load Doesn't Work
    F1 TV Live Video streaming Needs to be loaded and broadcast needs to be stared using data, but can be switched on WIFI after, but switching viewing modes languages etc. Will need Data to be done Not tested
    Twitch Live Video streaming Works Works
    Tinder Dating Doesn't work Doesn't work
    Reverb Marketplace Doesn't work Doesn't work
    Reddit Don't need to Works Works
    Google Home smart home Doesn't work Not tested
    Google Play store App store Works but sometimes downloads may not work on WIFI but sometimes do as well Not tested
    Google Translate Translation Doesn't work Not tested

    There are more that works and more that don't, I decided to put the ones that I think are the most pertinent ones. If you're interested in knowing how a certain app behaves, ask me.

    It should go without saying that these issues do not occur when using mobile data.

    How can I access the files on my Android phone with broken screen (no USB debugging!)?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:33 AM PDT

    Hi, question to which I cannot find an answer online. My phone's (Galaxy j5) screen is completely broken. I want to simply get some pictures back from the phone. All the "manuals" how to do it do not make much sense for me, as they require enabled USB debugging (of which I learned only now) or need to enable data transfer mode for USB connection. Both things of course cannot be enabled, because the screen is broken (and literally almost every manual describing how to get back stuff from phone with broken screen has pictures of enabling functions with working smartphone screen -_-)! Anyone has any idea how could I do it? Thanks!

    App or launcher that can give you multiple phone accounts

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:00 AM PDT

    I swear I saw somewhere that there is an app or launcher that gives your phone this login or account option where your phone is like a computer login and you can access multiple accounts ie a guest account.

    If anyone can tell me if this exists, that would be great!

    No way to access Wifi or BT options from quick settings panel anymore on Android 11?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 06:19 AM PDT

    Hi all

    Just switch from an S8 to Pixel 4a.

    The ability to pull down the notification shade, press and hold on the Bluetooth button, and select the two Bluetooth devices I often have to connect to, was always really easy.

    my car doesn't have Bluetooth audio natively, but does support Bluetooth phone connection for calls. So I always have to connect to two different Bluetooth devices in my car. For some reason it only connects to both devices automatically 75% of the time.

    The rest of the time I have to pull down the shade go to settings, click Bluetooth, then select the one that it decided not to connect to.

    This was obviously much easier when I was able to just press and hold the button and see all the options there from the shade.

    am I missing something? Is there no way to get this capability back?
