    Android Questions: Is Samsung galaxy s10 worth $470 today?


    Is Samsung galaxy s10 worth $470 today?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:21 AM PST

    I am getting a deal on a new s10 with 1-year manufacturer warranty.

    Is it worth it in today's market? If not, what are some alternatives in this price range?
    Thanks.

    Google Chrome changes colors on some sites. White background turns red-ish almost like night mode is switched on.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:48 AM PST

    As the topic says. Other browsers don't do that. Night mode is not enabled, neither is autobrightness.

    Latest Chrome update

    Oneplus 8 Pro, Android 10

    Anyone knows what's going on here?

    Re-calibrating the battery on an LG K10 (2017)

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:03 AM PST

    I'm in the process of repairing an LG K10 (2017) that has an broken screen, and am running into some issues with its battery at the same time. Its battery life is acceptable at the moment, so if possible, I'd prefer not to have to replace that as well. The problem is that the battery will discharge fairly normally until it gets to around 50% - at which point it drops very rapidly and then dies.

    If I try to turn it on again, it displays the typical "please plug in, I've run out of battery" message, as it should. However, once I do plug it in and press the power button, it displays the battery life as ~50% again. Once fully powered on, Android agrees, and will then run out of battery even faster than before.

    I have an image of the battery usage as an example. I fully charged it to 100%, then left the screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, and torch on to try and drain the battery as quickly as possible. I didn't charge the phone or do anything to it whilst it was off, I just left it, but when I turned it back on, there was about 50% battery left, which started to run out quickly.

    I've tried discharging it and then charging it to 100% again to no success, though given it's a modern lithium ion battery, I wasn't expecting much. Was wondering if anybody else has run into similar issues they were able to solve?

    TLDR: battery suddenly runs out at ~50%, I'm hoping to re-calibrate it so that the battery level is accurate.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Android 6.0 USB tether on permanent on?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:13 AM PST

    I have an Android 8 phone that I use as a secondary WAN for my router. It works well via USB tether.

    I have an Android 6 phone. It has more issues. It seems to shut off during inactivity. For a backup WAN that's bad.

    Is there a way to set an Android 6 phone to persist USB tethering without any attempt to listen for activity?

    Resealed sd cards?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 12:21 PM PST

    Hello, I wanted to buy a SD Card from ebay and they are selling ones from Samsung and Huawei in this special cardboard which is clearly not original it just says stuff like fast sd card and so on. The sd card itself looks legit but the box is kinda suspicious. What is your guys take on this?

    Way to use the Assistant with phone in pocket but screen off?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 12:16 PM PST

    If I have my phone in my pocket, and I use the Assistant through my headset, will the screen get active, with unwanted pocket dialling and the like?

    If so, is there a way to disable this activation while keeping the Assistant function working?

    Does keeping more free storage on your phone make it last longer?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 12:15 PM PST

    I've just recently bought a new phone to replace my 16gb android(which i actually was fully satisfied with and had the ability to download most of the apps i need and want, though an extra 6gb would've been great) And now that I have 64gb phone I've just been going around downloading all the apps i could possibly ever want. And since i dont usually take much photos or videos I've only managed to use about half the total storage of my phone with a couple of apps that im probably not gonna use much. So now I'm wondering if it would be any better for my phone if i deleted all the apps that i only about once a week and maybe make it have better longevity?

    ~ So basically does using more storage on your phone affect it at all? ~

    Locked out of galaxy s10. Touch screen not functional and phone in airplane mode. What are my options?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:01 AM PST

    Basically what the title says. Dropped my phone while it was on airplane mode and the touchscreen became completely non functional. Phone is also locked. I unlock it using either a fingerprint or pin (one or the other).

    I have a replacement coming, but I use this phone for work, so it would be great to be able to control it using a PC or something until that one arrives. Is that possible under my circumstances? If this isn't possible, can I at least back everything up? What are my options?

    Thanks

    How can I stop getting texts in the group chat I am in?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:27 AM PST

    I am part of a group text chat, and I don't know how I can stop getting texts from there or at the very least leave. When i click on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner the only options i get are "pictures" "Add/remove" "delete" "quick response" "schedule message" "create slideshow" and a dropdown list of the contacts on that group chat. "Add/remove" hasn't done anything, it gives me the option to "remove" like 6 of the contacts, but then nothing happens, the group chat is still there, I have tried this multiple times now. The "delete" only gets rid of the current conversation. This is on a Samsung J3 smartphone, is there anything I can do?

    Thank You

    S7 shows downloaded pics in camera reel

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:15 AM PST

    Is this issue samsung specific, or is it an issue on all androids? I prefer how it used to only show pictures taken with the camera, in the camera app.

    Mobile Data only apps

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:55 AM PST

    I have a Samsung Note 9 , I have an app that I use for mobile data only (AirMessage) because it won't work when im connected to my work wifi.

    It seems like this is a samsung specific feature, is anyone aware of an app or feature in stock android that'll let me do the same thing? Essentially forces the app to use only mobile data at all times. Im hoping to switch over to a pixel 5

    Whites on my Galaxy phone appear whiter when I reduce green from white balance settings

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:06 AM PST

    If you have a Galaxy , go to settings --> display --> screen mode --> white balance --> advanced settings. Now slide down the green slider to its minimum value. Does this make the whites look noticeably whiter? For me it does. What's worse is after I put the greens back to how they originally were (on their maximum value) , the display gets this slight green tint which is hard to unsee.

    Video/Streaming freeze on MiBox S

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 07:54 AM PST

    Videos and Streams keep freezing on my MiBox S when I use most browsers (I tried TVBro, Firefox, Chrome and Opera Touch)

    The only browser that is actually flawless is PuffinTV

    Are there any default settings limiting RAM and or bandwidth on all these browsers? Or is there any other cause for these frequent freezes/buffering?

    Since PuffinTV is not free I'd like to use any of the alternatives above

    How do I change the keypress sound?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 07:45 AM PST

    I use GBoard on my OnePlus 7T. I want the keypress sound, but I don't like the default sound. And I've seen in some Samsung phones that even if we use GBoard on them and not the default (Samsung) keyboard, still we get the sound of default (Samsung) keyboard on keypress. Is there anyway I can get that sound on my GBoard?

    WhatsApp not loading

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 11:27 PM PST

    Hey reddit,

    I've recently gotten a new phone and a strange problem is that my WhatsApp messages don't load/come in, and they only load when I open the app/leave the app open. Additionally, my WhatsApp web would show that my phone is not connected unless I reopen the app on my phone.

    Anyone has any idea what should I do to fix it?

    Thanks!

    I've tried allowing notifications and also ensured that under App Launch, whatsapp is managed automatically. FYI, I'm using a Huawei Nova.

    Help with turning my screen black and white

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 02:38 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to turn my samsung galaxy S7 edge screen black and white. It was bought new directly from my carrier SFR (french carrier) and is right now running Android 8.0.0 . I have developer mode already enabled (I don't know if I enabled it myself in the past for some other reason or if it was pre-enabled) as shown in the picture. When I click on developer options it says that I need to activate developer options first.

    I already tried to :

    1. boot in safe mode : same
    2. third party app shortcuts to developer options : same "turn on Developer options first" message
    3. Search a good third of internet "android tips and tricks" to read the same thing over and over again
    4. searched this subreddit
    5. Stumbled upon one with the same problem, but no fix : https://androidforums.com/threads/developer-options-cant-access-frustrated-please-help.1322876/
    6. Tried to look to change my screen to black and white without touching developer options, to no avail

    Anyone has an idea beside factory reset?

    Thank you for your help !

    Hello there,

    I want to be able to have my most common apps at the top of my share menu, but every app is listed and it's annoying.

    I know that I should be able to hold and pin, but it's not there on the latest Verizon carrier Ota upgrade, ane wasn't there before either.

    I an not rooted, how can I do this?

    Thanks!

    I need help about my pin code on my phone

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 05:19 AM PST

    Ok, so recently I remembered I had a lot of pictures stored on my old phone, the problem is that I don't remember my pin code. So I tried a lot of combinations but I still can't find it. I went to a repair phone store and they told me there was nothing they could do.

    I'm kind of desperate here if anyone has any solution for me it would be so nice. I'm still trying to find my code by luck but every time I'm wrong I have to wait something like 600 minutes.

    (my pics aren't in the cloud)

    :)
