    Android Questions: Gboard Incognito Mode Potentially Not Functioning As Intended

    Android Questions: Gboard Incognito Mode Potentially Not Functioning As Intended


    Gboard Incognito Mode Potentially Not Functioning As Intended

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 02:59 AM PST

    Gboard seems to be remembering words which have only ever been typed in Incognito mode, despite the supposed incognito mode.

    To demonstrate the issue, I have recorded a video (here). Apologies for the quality, but chrome incognito mode doesn't allow the screen to be recorded.

    To demonstrate the issue and show that it is across sites, I recorded myself doing the following:

    1. Opening chrome and going Incognito.

    2. Navigating to gmail.com

    3. Attempting to login with a made up username that I have never used before on any device, Wildernesshellofrog.

    4. Closing the Incognito tab.

    5. Closing Chrome.

    6. Reopening Chrome and going Incognito.

    7. Navigating to Reddit.com and proceeding to the login page.

    8. Starting to type the beginning of the username as above; the username appears as a suggested word.

    I just want to confirm:

    1. Whether this should or should not be happening

    2. If so, whether this is a known issue

    3. If not, where I should report this.

    Help me update my s10e (from panama) software

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 09:06 AM PST

    I bought my s10e online from the UAE and moved to Egypt. The phone is from Latin America. Since I bought it around 1-2 years ago, its never received an update so I'm still stuck on android 9.

    I tried smart switch, and frija but both cant find updates for my version. I contacted support and they said I just have to wait but its getting ridiculously long.

    I'm willing to send a few bucks by PayPal if someone can help me but it isn't really a huge number because I'm a student and don't have lots of spare money. Thanks

    Hi My father tells me his phone wifi wasn't working. Turns out the last time he did a software update was in August 2019. Now he cant connect to any wifi network to get the software update. In the settings the software update is not clickable. Note 8. Any suggestions?

    Problem with disabling Absolute Volume

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 12:21 PM PST

    I have recently gotten a new phone and was reminded by my earbuds not being at the same volume as my phone that I had to disable Absolute Volume. After enabling Developer Options and going to the option I realized that I doesn't work. I am on Android 10 if that helps.

    Deleting the thumbnails file in the DCIM Android folder?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 12:10 PM PST

    I see that the thumbnails file on my phone is about 6GB!

    If I delete this, will it cause any problems, and will it return by itself?

    Any tips on freeing up space by deleting or editing this file?

    Thanks

    Export frame - where does it go?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:57 AM PST

    So I'm trying to export a frame from a video. I go to edit, find the frame I want and pause the video, hit export frame button. Then I get a buffering circle, and photos reopens and Im back at the video. What am I missing? Where are the frames saved?

    I was trying to move an app to the SD card, but i can't because of "not enough storage space" despite having 13.5gb of free space.

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:17 AM PST

    I was trying to move this app (1.8gb) to the SD card but it never moved because of "insufficient storage space". Even weirder, every time i tried, the app wouldn't move but it would somehow still take some space in the SD card!

    Let me explain, first time i tried my SD card had 10gb of occupied storage, "cannot move, not enough storage space", and then my SD card would have 11,5gb of occupied space. Second time i tried, again "cannot move blah blah", and now my SD card had 13gb of occupied storage.

    I've had this memory card for like 2-3 years and something like this had never happened to me. Does anybody know what is happening and how to solve it?

    Have a nice day!

    Google reminders disappear after an hour or so

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 10:51 AM PST

    I've found lots of threads online of people that are having the same problem as me, but unfortunately no solutions!

    I set reminders a lot for myself using the Google Assistant. They pop up at the appropriate time completely fine, but then they disappear after an hour or so without my having swiped them away of marked them as done.

    I've tried to change battery optimisation settings of everything I can, but that's not helped at all. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a OP6 running Android 10, but I've seen others online with Pixel devices and Samsung devices complaining of the same problem.

    Is there a way to force bootloader unlocking on SM-A102U (Samsung a10e)?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 10:29 AM PST

    T-Mobile unlocked the phone for me, but I need to reflash firmware. There has got to be a way to fix this. It's the same hardware. It's just the region-specific firmware that disables it.

    Anyone?

    I think I just fucked myself over...

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 10:20 AM PST

    I have this old Note 10.1 tablet, It had no rom and hard buttons we'rent working so I used adb to get it into download mode and flash a rom on it using Odin, I flashed the ROM and everything was fine but it still wouldn't load-it was still stuck in that annoying bootloop. Now I tried to get it into recovery mode using ADB but now it says it's unauthorized, now since it won't even boot up, I can't authorize it from the device. Is there any possible way to fix this shit show?

    When you use nova launcher as your default launcher, does your google activity linked to your phone show you still using the one plus launcher?

    Does a USB from a wall unit work the same when removed and plugged into car USB for Android Auto purposes? Android Auto keeps cutting in and out.

    SD card stopped working overnight

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 03:24 AM PST

    I have a moto G6 Play, had SD card formatted as internal storage and overnight went from working fine to not even being read as inserted.

    I tried a different card and it worked perfectly fine. Is there any reason why a card would just stop being read randomly?

    Are Pandora and spotify not available in Canada??

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 09:17 AM PST

    I recently made a VPN with a vps in Toronto. This morning, my Pandora account, which I use for my alarm in the morning, errored out, saying Pandora isn't available in your country. I turned off the vpn and it worked just fine. On each new song, I get the same pop-up, which if you click "okay", then the app fc's, but if you just ignore it it continues streaming just fine.

    Is Pandora seriously not available in Canada??

    Quick way to change between 1440p & 120hz on Note 20 ultra

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 09:07 AM PST

    I recently got a galaxy note 20 ultra 5g exynos version, and one of the features it has is 120hz adaptive refresh rate which I almost always have on. My problem is that when I watch videos on YouTube for example I'm limited to 1080p and if I want to watch in glorious 1440p I need to go into settings, switch to 60hz, then change the resolution to qhd and back every time. Is there a way I can quickly toggle between these two settings? Something like a quick settings tile would be great, or like a bixby routine when I open YouTube.. my phone isn't rooted and I'm not a developer so IDK if it's possible but any help would be appreciated.

    Have to turn off Wifi to send MMS?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 08:51 AM PST

    Running 8.1 on Moto 5G. Every time I try to send MMS (group text, images) through Messenger (default mesg app for Android), it says "Sending . . . " until I disconnect from Wifi, which turns my cell connection to LTE. Then it immediately sends the message.

    The Sprint tech told me: yep, that's just how it works. MMS goes over cellular data, not Wifi and celldata is disconnected when in Wifi mode.

    I'm in a bit of disbelief. Really? This is considered a normal user experience?

    There are posts on the net to fix this with changing the APN, but I don't see that option, and rooting my phone isn't an action I wish to take.

    Suggestions (for communicating to other phone numbers, rather than to apps)? Or just confirmation that this is indeed how it works for you?

    Thanks

    How do I stop android 9 from revoking the auto-start setting?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 08:12 AM PST

    One of my apps will occasionally get the auto-start setting turned off in the morning and it's very annoying. The apps that have experimented this "issue" so far have been Plant Nanny and Google Calendar. It's been a week since this began. Any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it?

    Looking for phone app that displays Recent Calls in Graphic form (Pic in Comments)

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 08:10 AM PST

    The old phone is a Moto X Pure (2015). It displays recent calls like this: Recent Calls List

    The new phone is a Samsung A71. It's for an older person who is very comfortable using the Moto format, where they can just press the icon they want to call. I'm looking for a similar phone app that can be used on the Samsung.

    Thanks!

    Latest 11 update breaking Messages app?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 08:10 AM PST

    Ever since I ran the latest update yesterday, Messages app will randomly go blank screen, or fail to open a text. I can fix it by clearing storage/cache, but it does it again a few hours later.

    Anyone else? I'm tempted to roll back to Android 10 at this point. 11 is so buggy.

    Answering my phone while Do Not Disturb is enabled [Galaxy S9+]

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 06:44 AM PST

    My phone switches to DND at 10 PM, and I'll occasionally get a call after that (from somebody on my Contacts list). I have tremendous difficulty answering the phone at that point. I unlock it with my fingerprint, and there's no place to answer it. I usually then swipe down from the top, but the next ring makes the pulled-down list go back up (and the phone typically goes dark again). There's probably something extraordinarily simple that I'm missing here, but I'm having trouble figuring out what it is.

    I have Speaker-PhoneEx installed (all I've ever used it for is an automatic transition to speaker when I move the phone away from my face) and thought that might be the problem, but disabling that didn't change things.

    Thanks in advance.

    What if I accidentally flash a wrong recovery?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 06:17 AM PST

    I'm new in this Android modding scene. Well, not exactly new, but the whole scene is so complex that I can be called a newcomer again.

    So I want to backup my phone (including recovery) before playing around with it and what I have found is to use TWRP booted (NOT flashed) through fastboot. However, I'm worried that I might have accidentally downloaded wrong TWRP and that I might damage my device if the file turns out to be damaged.

    If I accidentally boot a wrong/damaged TWRP, can it damage my phone?

    Google on a Huawei enjoy 9e

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 01:54 AM PST

    Hello,
    Someone gave me a Huawei Enjoy 9e (mrd-al00) running EMUI 9.1.0.275. I'd like it to run Google Services but I just can't seem to install it. So i have a few questions: has anyone already used one and succesfully installed all the Google Services? Could I install the rom for the Y6S on it as it seems to be its global counterpart?

    I want to extend the lock screen duration when I press the lock button.

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 05:36 AM PST

    When my phone is locked and the screen is off and I press the side button to check the lock screen, it only stays on for 3 seconds before going black again. How do I make it stay on longer? I have a Galaxy S7 Active if that makes a difference. I tried Googling the answer but found nothing helpful.
