    Forcing internal mic on a Samsung S8+

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:33 AM PDT

    I've got a pair of bluetooth earbuds with absolute horrible mic quality and have been looking for a way to force my unrooted phone to use the internal microphone instead when in a Discord call. I'm unsure of the model of my earbuds, but their device name os TWS-880, generic brand. If you need anymore info please let me know, any help or advice is appreciated, so that I can finally use my earbuds and be actually heard when in a voice call 👏

    Note: I am aware of 3-pin connecter headphones / earbuds; is emulating a 3-pin connection using bluetooth earbuds an option?

    Crisis Alerts Unavailable - Pixel 4a w/ Android 11, fully updated

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:20 AM PDT

    I'm just trying to turn Crisis Alerts on in the Emergency features, but it says unavailable, and obviously I can't turn it on. Any idea why? Permissions are set correctly from what I can tell, it asked to have location info all the time. I was able to turn Car Crash Detection on. If you need more info to determine, please ask

    How to stop earphone autoplay?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 04:41 AM PDT

    Hi, hope this is the right place to ask. I have a Samsung Galaxy A6. Basically, I have a problem where when I plug in my earphones (they are just simple wired earphones, no Bluetooth/mic/volume buttons or anything) it automatically starts playing whatever I was last listening to on Spotify, even if Spotify wasn't open. I have scoured Spotify forums and found nothing - no settings in Spotify or my phone that relate to autoplay or earphones.

    I'm pretty sure it's the phone or a setting in android that's the issue - not Spotify, because there are some other weird issues to do with my earphones. For instance - when the earphones are plugged in and I try to record a video, it attempts to record audio using my earphones, even though there's no mic. This is the same for calls - I can't have earphones in to take calls because it tries to use a non-existent mic. I've also noticed that when I push the earphones in at a certain angle it allows me to skip songs on Spotify, which is so weird. Important to note that it did this with my last pair of earphones as well - so it's not the earphones themselves, but the phone. I think somehow my phone believes anything that goes into the audio jack is a headset, even when it's not. Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this, or at least stop the music from auto-playing? It's driving me insane!

    Automatically sync photos to Windows 10?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:07 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm looking to set up photo backup in a certain way but can't seem to find any solutions. I'd like to set my phone up to automatically back up my photos to my Windows 10 pc. No cloud storage or anything, simply copying the files to my hard drive only, so far Google Photos and OneDrive have been useless to me, does anyone have any recommendations?

    Virtual Android System

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    Hey!

    I have a new Huawei Phone and well you know that it wont run Google Services. I did find a "Work Around" for one app by installing VMOS Pro, to run a Virtual Phone/System so I managed to use that app still on this Huawei Phone. Sadly, they only run Android 5.0 Versions and for the App I need, it needs at least Android 6.0. (Since it needs Google Services to work, I can get a APK of the App but it wont does what its supposed to do)

    So are there any "Apps" Like VMOS Pro that can run an Android System of 6.0 or higher? Thanks a lot!

    Is the Android OS country specific?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:27 AM PDT

    I side-loaded the Google TV app update on my device and my version shows [RO] [US] so out of curiosity I launched a virtual device and the version there shows [US] [US]. Is this because of the OS or is is it using my location? I get the same results using a VPN

    Looking for an App that can back up my pictures in my photo gallery in the exact same sequence of folders(albums) as it is on my phone so I can always retrieve it as it was in it's original format without it being saved randomly

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 09:15 AM PDT

    I love keeping pictures in folders(albums). It's part of a way I use in organizing my life, thoughts & muse in different perspective. Please your suggestions would make a great difference in my life. Thanks .

    Pixel 4a 5G or 5

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 06:52 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Wondering if I should get a 4A 5G now and potentially upgrade next year (hoping for more improvements on the 6) or get the 5 and keep it for a few years? Upgrading from a 2XL which is starting to really show it's age.

    Playing Dragon City on Huawei P40 lite

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:46 AM PDT

    Basically when I run the app it prompts me to app info screen saying that I should give the app permissions for best experience.

    On that screen I can only give the app storage permission and that is apparently not enough.

    When I go to permission manager there is no option to give permissions to Dragon City (or almost any game for that matter).

    What should I do?

    Icons in the notification bar acting wierd

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:01 AM PDT

    Screen record and cast icons in the notification bar are misbehaving

    Every once in a while (usually after restart) when I open the notification tab the screen record and cast icon are misbehaving, the screen record button is darkened and both of them have their text greyed out.

    This is only visible for half a second and immediately returns to normal.

    I used a third party screen recorder to capture it

    Why is this happening?

    (I use miui 11)

    Any idea why this is happening in my Android web browser? Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:22 PM PDT

    Can anyone help?

    I cannot post a picture for some reason (I'm new to Reddit, so I'm not sure about a lot yet), but my phone keeps going static on my web pages. Like a tv on a random channel that doesn't get a station, or if a screen broke: A bunch of black and white static-type lines moving around oddly. Sometimes I get black boxes mixed in rows, too. It's so odd, and I've never seen it before on a phone that is otherwise fine.

    The past two or three days, my phone does this to the pages nearly every time I try to use the web browser. I can browse for a little beforehand, and usually, it clears up after I refresh, but I can only browse for a minute or two before it does it again. So half the time I cannot get through a full-page because the refresh puts me back to the top.

    My apps are fine. Instagram, Facebook, Goodreads, all of that I can use without issue. It's only the web browser (Google Chrome). This is brand new as of the past few days, and I've had this phone for years. It's also done this on numerous sites, at this point.

    I'm stuck. Can anyone help?

    Can thief use Find My Device to track phone if I connected to Wifi after Factory Reset?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:23 AM PDT

    Hi! So my Samsung phone got stolen last week and I wiped the data remotely thanks to Google's find my device menu, this made it possible for the thief to use the phone for ~3 days.

    I didn't report the phone to the provider cause the pesky robber was close to me, and I knew it was possible to get it back. I managed to get it back thanks to law enforcement.

    I promptly got rid of the thief's sim card before turning it on and then I wiped/factory reset it through the boot menu thingy. This action triggered FRP with the thief's Google account, so I connected to my Wifi and entered the password that the police gave me to unlock the phone and started the device with my credentials. I'm worried that in the future the thief will connect to his Find My Device and find my place of work where I connected through the wifi, is this possible? Does FRP keep track of your cellphone with Find My Device? Should I factory reset the phone again after bypassing the FRP screen? Will he be able to see the location of the Wifi I connected before bypassing the FRP screen?

    Thanks in advance guys, im very worried cause this asshole was very violent

    Facebook Messenger Doesn't Actually Mute (Pixel 3A)

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 04:57 PM PDT

    I'm in an active group chat and sometimes I just need some peace and quiet. I hold tap on the chat and mute for 1 hour or 8 hours or until I turn it back on. It doesn't matter what I choose. Any option only has about a 10% chance of actually working. I see the bell with the strike through icon and close the app, only for notifications to go through as normal anyway. It's really frustrating to have to mute the chat again and again until I get lucky. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't want to put my phone on silent or do not disturb because I still want to receive texts/other messages. Thank you.

    My battery went from 60-40% in a matter of seconds.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 04:55 PM PDT

    Earlier today my battery port got screwed up to the point where it wouldn't charge my phone. I managed to, after watching/reading up on how to fix the problem get it to where the phone would charge normally without holding the cord in one position. One of the things i did was take the battery out to get to the charging port, before I took the battery port out the phone was at 62 percent battery. Once i put the battery back in the phone was at 45% battery. What caused the sudden jump? The phone seems to be working fine for now, albiet charging a little slower and I will probably get a new phone in case this one dies. However, I wanted to check to see why the battery jumped so quickly.
