    Deleted 22GB worth of video but it didn't free up any of that space, what do I do to free that space up?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:02 AM PST

    I'm on a galaxy s10 and I use my phone to record videos. Since I've started I have recorded over 22gb worth of videos, I deleted them after I got my videos edited and uploaded to youtube, but for some reason deleting them didn't free up any space, Why did deleting them not free up space and how can I free up that space?

    Automate 4G/2G network preference in Android.

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:17 AM PST

    I have recently bought a new Phone. The 4G signal strength at my place is really bad. A lot of calls are getting dropped. Whenever im connected to Wifi i want the phone to be on GSM network. And when i turn on Mobile data i want the preferred network to be LTE. Is there a way to automate the process ? I haven't rooted the phone and can this be done with Tasker ?

    Help with Chrome Download to SD card save location needed

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:39 PM PST

    On galaxy s20+5g verizon newest firmware/version available.

    When downloading something from Chrome, say an image file, and my download location is set to SD card it gets saved to a location that i can't seem to access.

    Here is an example: file:///storage/6137-3432/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/71TqtTG7khL.AC_SL1400.jpg

    Also referenced as:

    SD Card /storage/6137-3432/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/71TqtTG7khL.AC_SL1400.jpg

    I tried using samsungs file explorer and Googles. Even downloaded solid explorer to try and get to this directory and can't seem to reach it. Same with plugging phone into windows 10 PC to view files.

    For some reason my google/chrome app permissions for file storage were turned off and I think that's why it all goes to this weird location, but now that I've turned them on I was hoping I could at least delete the downloads folder here and maybe now that the app permissions have been fixed it would go to a more accessible directory. But none of my methods seem to allow me to even reach this directory. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    FOSS app uninstaller/disabler?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:34 PM PST

    Hello there! It's me again.

    As you can see from the title, I'm looking for a free and open-source application that I can use to uninstall and disable software. My device is rooted so having an app that allows me to uninstall system apps is very much preferred.

    Aurora Store is fine but F-Droid is preferred. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8, Android version 9.0, rooted with Magisk and with unlocked bootloader. As well as unlocked in general.

    Thanks!

    Looking for a child (un)friendly way to prevent apps from being closed,

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:24 PM PST

    We've been experimenting with giving our 2-year old son a phone to watch Youtube while on long car rides but he keeps minimizing the app and gets frustrated that he can't watch videos. Is there a way in Android to lock an app from minimizing or being closed?

    Question about OnePlus 8T updates policy

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:54 AM PST

    Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing the 8T in the near future, to replace my Xiaomi Mix 3. Mind you, it's not the infamous 5G variant, but the plain version has somewhat suffered from poor support too.
    So, future support is kind of a big deal for me now (I had a Nexus 6 before). I remember reading somewhere that OnePlus promised 3 years of Android updates (not just security patches) for the 8T, but I can't find it anymore. Is it true, or are they promising the usual 2 major updates plus one more year of security patches?

    How to retrieve photos from a completely defunct device?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2020 07:10 PM PST

    The photos haven't been deleted, but the device they're on doesn't work anymore. The screen is almost entirely shattered and was submerged in water for a good bit of time which led to what I'm talking about. If I press and hold the power button, I do see that it tries to start up, but all that it shows me is a little bit of white light through all of the cracks on the screen. I can't go any further than that on the device, I don't even manage to make it to the home screen, it freezes upon the white light everytime I try to power it on. I didn't back them up or sync them with Google Photos, and they're all stored on the device itself, not on an SD card or anything of the sort. Trying to get the screen replaced/fixed isn't an option for me here because I'm pretty sure that it was it being submerged in water that killed the device, and if that's the case, fixing the screen wouldn't do much good.

    Is there any other way for me to get the photos on that phone back?

    Pixel 2 XL Android 11 bug

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:13 AM PST

    Hey Folks, I had opted in for the android 11 beta months back. Everything was getting smoother with every update. But with the last update, couple of issues have popped up which are really annoying 1) First is that the power button doesnt lock the phone at once. Have to keep on pressing it multiple times to lock. Isn't a hardware issue as It unlocks with just one press. 2) Whatsapp video calling somehow doesnt get connected to the bluetooth earphones on the first go. Have to recall everytime, so have switched to duo for video calling. But since Duo hasn't got any messaging platform, its tiresome to switch between apps for video calling and messaging.

    Device is Pixel 2XL. Was in Beta. Aint sure whether i am still in beta or in the final release as i am unsure as to if google have released the stable android 11 in my country.

    Thought this was just a few bugs for the beta which would be patched in the next update. So wasnt worried much but its been a couple of months already and there are no updates.

    Thanks.

    “New messages” instead of showing the message?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:58 AM PST

    Where's the setting for this? It's a Galaxy Note 9 on ATT I gave it to my girlfriend, I didn't have any issues with that when I had the phone on Verizon but I can't find the setting to switch that anywhere. It's running the most recent everything for the phone.

    Is this worth replacing my phone over? wouldn't turn on

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:10 AM PST

    My phone is an E4 Plus, 16gb model and is 2 years old.

    I have had some mild issues in the past such as certain parts of my screen not wanting to react to my touch for a bit, then working a bit later, but this is the first time i've had a pretty significant problem like this.]

    Today i woke up to find my phone off and not turning on. I would pressed and held for a bit, at one point i believe i held it for around 7 seconds or more for it to not respond at all.

    I connected it to the charger, waited a bit, then tried powering it up. Nothing, nothing, then it worked. Battery was 55% so i know that isn't the issue, but i have no idea what caused this and now i'm wondering, has anyone else had a similar issue and is it worth replacing my phone over?

    Do you happen to know what the cause of this could be?

    i have no real issues with battery life or anything. Although recently i have had a strange issue where my screen will turn to "static" almost when looking at some stuff online such as websites with ads. I scroll down only for the images to go away and weird static to appear in the browser window until i stop scrolling and let it adjust itself. it is very strange, but it appears INSIDE the browser, so i assumed it is not an issue with the phone itself but the ads or something not being optimized for mobile.

    Reddit App Performance issues on LG Wing

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:54 AM PST

    I decided to give it a shot and bought the new LG Wing and I have noticed that it seems to lag and run at a really choppy frame rate while on the Reddit android app. It never did this on my last phone (Galaxy S9). Is this because the Galaxy S9's Snapdragon 845 is better performance wise then the Wing's 765? Or is it something to do with the Wing's 2 screens and how the app is programed? Does anyone else own a Wing or another phone with a similar hardware setup and have these issues?

    Just to get this out of the way, the phone is charged above 50%, I have tested both on and off of WiFi, I have auto play videos turned off, battery save mode is turned off, it does this regardless of which screen it is on, and everything else runs fine. Thank you in advance.

    Android phone is out of space - weird storage screen?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:18 AM PST

    My Android phone (Razer 2) says it's nearly out of space - but while the "Games" bar on the storage screen says 24gb, if you tap it, it says there are no apps:

    https://imgur.com/a/e5MTBvB

    All my games are stored on the SD card, which is huge and nowhere near full (<25%).

    Any idea why this is? How do I "get back" that 24gb?

    And can I get a solution that doesn't involve a factory reset? As that's not an acceptable solution to this kind of problem.

    Can only access Google websites from my android phone.

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:41 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    I'm having a weird issue with my phone right now. I'm unable to access most websites, while Google and YouTube are still working fine. I've tried clearing my cache, restarting chrome, restarting my phone.

    I'm finding a lot of info about what to do if this happens on your computer, usually saying it's a DNS issue, but my laptop is working fine. The issue is only occurring on my phone.

    App managment lock

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:08 AM PST

    Hello redditors, i have a phone from the Honor X series for over a year or so and i accidently swiped down an app in the app managment (this little square at the bottom of the phone). This resulted in showing me up a small lock thing near the app's name. I never seen it this thing so I'd like to have that explained if that's possible.

    Help extracting K-9 Mail's email database.

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:14 AM PST

    Hi there, does anyone know where a somewhat recent version (v5.600) if K-9 Mail does store all of it's settings / mail files? It seems that it used to be under /Android/data/com.fsck.k9/ however that folder is not available on my internal / external storage and all posts on this topic that I can find are very old and seem to be outdated.

    Do I need to be root?
    Can anyone help?

    EDIT:

    Phone is a Mi A2 Lite.

    Why does my cloud app take up 4.6 gigabytes of internal storage?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:54 AM PST

    I am having pretty awful storage issues, and I was poking around and noticed the cloud app taking up close to half of my usable storage space. What is the reason for this? I don't have a paid plan, so supposedly it only back up my contacts. Furthermore, if I bought a month long storage plan, would this space be freed up in my internal storage space?

    Can't minimize phone app when in a call on Android 10

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:23 AM PST

    I just got an LG G8 that has Android 10. When I'm in a call on the stock phone app I can't minimize it or access any of my other apps.

    On all my other phones I could swipe down from the top to get to my notifications, or use the three nav buttons on the bottom of the screen to go home or access my other open apps. But on this phone none of that works. Am I doing something silly?

    How to block webpages or by words on android?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:40 AM PST

    Hi,

    I need to block some webs on android and i don't know how. I don't want to block adult websites or any parent control, i want to block some specific webs by their links or by the keywords used for searching them. Indeed i don't want to be shown that it has been blocked, if possible.

    Is there any simple method or app to do that??

    I know nothing about computing, so any help will be well received.

    Why are there many Android while a single Windows?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:05 AM PST

    Sorry I am a noob and my question might be stupid. But I cannot figure out why we cannot take an Android installer and install it on any device having a supported architecture (arm64 for example) like we do with Windows or a Linux distribution.

    From a noob point of view, it looks like a retarded OS to me although I am quite sure that the thousands of engineers having contributed to Android cannot have produced a retarded OS. So what is the explanation? And more importantly, will it change?
