    Is there any keyboard that is fully customizable? Like everything, even down to moving buttons around manually.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 08:28 AM PST

    Okay, I'm assuming there's none that customizable (but that'd be nice).

    Basically looking for the most customizable keyboard on the market.

    And first off, I know this is all super picky and choosy but at this point I'm about to go learn to code just to make this happen lol. I really appreciate anyone willing to give some suggestions.

    Main things I would really like to have:

    • Different key layouts (like how some have different arrangements for symbols. Ability to pick what some buttons do would be great)

    • Customizable button sizes, shapes, spreads, etc. (Like how some have a V shape and some are more rectangular)

    • A comma and a period on the main board

    • Gestures (like some have the swipe left to delete a word, thing.)

    • Emoji prediction (a search bar for emojis would be amazing too)

    • Custom colors

    • Custom sounds (a selection of sounds could work too. And yes I'm weird for even liking the typing sounds.

    • Gif button

    • Any other extra custom options

    Fleksy is the closest thing I've found to all this but the bar on top is annoying, emoji prediction doesn't work, and the square layout makes me make typos.

    Thanks in advanced for the help!!

    When I'm adding a new keyboard there's a message that it could read everything I type does that mean everything on the device or everything I use that keyboard for?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 09:49 AM PST

    From what I understand, Google Photos will no longer store pictures for free. Is that right, and is there a good alternative to that amazing feature?

    My phone will stop receiving security updates soon. How dangerous is it to keep using it?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 07:29 PM PST

    Using an LG v40. Great phone, I'd love to keep using it for another year or two. Is it really that big of a security risk?

    Edit: Thank you all for the reassurance. I'm not quite ready to plop down two handful of benjamins on another phone. Glad this one will keep working well for a while. Thanks so much for the peace of mind!

    Is it really worth switching to Android?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 10:12 AM PST

    So, this question is probably addressed to those who have switched from IOS to Android

    I'm torn between the new Pixel 5 and iPhone 12 mini, and I see many more reasons to choose an iPhone so far: I use only Apple devices (Mac, AirPods) and it's quite handy to have everything synchronized, the display (with the exception of 60hz) is much better on the iPhone (according to the reviews), camera seems to be better on the Pixel, but the video really sucks in comparison with the iPhone, performance is not that deal for me, but it also much better on the iPhone

    The only thing, that keeps me from buying the iPhone - is the strong desire to try the pure Android. It seems to be really neat and handy according to the reviews - all this stuff with convenient gestures, customization and feeling of freedom in the system attracts me so much!

    So I will repeat my question - is it really worth switching to Android, considering everything I've described above?

    Discovery Panel Search / Google Search Bar won't find Apps on phone anymore.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:37 AM PST

    So I have been able to search for apps on the phone via the search bar widget or on the search feature in the discovery window. Went to bed an woke up this morning and now I can't seem to search for apps anymore. I've rebooted the phone, reset the app, tried safe mode, cleared cache and data from both the google app and chrome. Along with history cleaned out. The setting to be able to search apps via the search bar and stuff is on. I'm using a OnePlus8 if that helps. First time this has happened to me.

    I've tried everything that all the different sites have stated.

    Samsung s10 connection issue

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 08:18 AM PST

    My S10 has very recently been unable to connect to my WiFi network- keeps saying 'cannot authenticate network' I've tried to reset my network settings & still nothing, remove the network & readd it but also nothing! My phone has the latest software version installed and all my other devices are able to connect to this network apart from my phone now and I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my phone. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

    Haven't gotten a single gmail notification on my android in months

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 11:11 AM PST

    It's a complete mystery. I know it's a wide spread problem but with no obvious solution which makes it all the more frustrating that google doesn't release a statement acknowledging it with actual help or a patch or literally anything other than "go to help forums lol" which have a trillion "solutions".

    Tried clearing cache, turning notifications off and on again, un and re installing gmail, clicking Gmail off under optimize batt usage. Nothing. All I want is notifications when my boss or clients email me lol so I don't have to keep checking the app all day religiously. (Phone is Android S9)

    Appreciate any help or sympathy lol

    Can't download files after Android Q

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 10:07 AM PST

    So I have a Motorola G7 Supra and a few months ago, maybe like around August, I got the notification for a new system update. Instead of downloading it I decided to postpone it until 2 weeks ago. I downloaded the update and ever since then I haven't been able to download files from google. Everytime I go to Google to download an image, download a file, etc, etc, it never works. It always says error file not found. The Google play store still works though. I can also download files from discord or text messages. From google? No I can't. I've tried everything I can think of like enabling permission, clearing cache, restarting my phone, clearing the google storage, and other things as well. The only other thing I can think of doing is factory resetting which I don't want to do. Does anyone have some suggestions on how to fix this?

    Google Assistant: Phones aren't Devices?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 05:18 AM PST

    (I wasn't sure where to put this)

    Hello all,
    When setting up Routines in Google Assistant on my phone {Pixel 5), it looks like things have changed. Can we no longer use a phone as a device to run a Routine on? Must it be a Mini, Home, etc?

    I wasn't sure if this was something new or a bug in the beta version of the Google app I'm using.

    Thanks for any info you may have.

    Samsung S6 - Fingerprint sensor not working - need for Private Mode - Help please

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 08:14 AM PST

    I have dropped my Samsung S6 and the fingerprint sensor no longer works. It doesn't recognize my fingerprint after multiple upon multiple attempts. I forgot the backup pin I setup when this type of thing happens. I setup my Private mode to be unlocked via fingerprint, but now can't get into it. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can access Private mode again ? Thanks in advance.

    Changing dns over LTE

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:24 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to change my dns for mobile data connections. I could only find a way to do it over wifi, and nothing about it on the internet.

    Or I'm maybe not understanding something about dns, can anyone tell me what I could do/where I'm wrong?

    Weird issue with links appearing in my texts

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 07:08 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I've been searching for an answer to this weird ass issue I've been having.

    About a week ago I was trying to text a link to a website to my girlfriend for an item I thought we should buy. For whatever reason, the link just wouldn't appear on her side.. even though I could clearly see it in my sent messages. Her messages were blank without the link.

    Whatever, I sent it to her on discord and we moved on.

    Ever since then however, the bottom half of that link will randomly be added to my text messages on her end. So on my screen everything looks normal, but when she sends me a screenshot of her side half my message is replaced by part of a link that I sent a week ago (and she never got)

    I've tried deleting all of the items in my clipboard, and switching from the default "messages" app to chomp.

    She is using an iphone and I have an S10, if that matters. All apps and software have been updated.

    My text message thread with her is in the thousands, and I'd hate to delete it - but could that be the issue? I'm just out of ideas, lol.

    And just to be clear - the link is NOT visible to me in the messages that I send. So it isn't being added by the keyboard or something as I send. On my end, all of my texts look 100% normal.

    Internet browser doesn't respond.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:28 AM PST

    Hey so I've had my s7 edge for more than 3 years now, and I've always used the samsung internet browser as my main. However for a few months now, when i open it it takes about 5 seconds to respond. Other browsers aren't like that, but i dont want to switch. Any ideas on what could be causing this? And am i the only one?

    Is there any way to download your whole Apple Music library onto Android now that the app seems to have eliminated the ability to download whole playlists?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:12 AM PST

    The new Apple Music update on Android eliminated the workaround for automatically downloading songs and I'm so frustrated. Maintaining my big library of music that I've been accumulating since the early iTunes day and before is important to me. Sound quality and having all my music with me in offline situations like on the train or a plane is important to me. These reasons all add up to explain why I use Apple Music and why I like to have all my songs downloaded to my phone. The Apple Music app on Android has never had an "automatic downloads" setting like they do on their iOS app, for reasons that are unclear to me, but until the latest update there was still a pretty easy workaround: make a smart playlist that automatically added all your songs (by including all songs longer than 0 seconds, for instance), and then periodically go to that playlist and press the download button at the top. It appears though in the latest update, which otherwise is great, they have removed the ability to download an entire playlist at once. Unless I'm mistaken the only way to download any of your songs now, is one by one. This feels like a gamebreaking problem to me and I don't know what to do, especially when I get a new phone, since practically speaking it is now impossible (or at least, extremely cumbersome) to download an entire library from scratch. I really don't want to be forced to buy an iPhone! Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this??

    how to turn off screen the way you would turn off a monitor but let the phone keep running

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:23 AM PST

    I like to play random android games sometimes, and instead of just letting them run i thought letting them run with screen off will save battery. even if a little. is there any way to do this? i don't want to mess with the actual screen off like when i press the power button. just kind of a "monitor shut off"

    [Help] Phone isnt starting after i changed language to English XA

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:15 AM PST

    I am facing the problem i wrote in the title, addition to that, i have a Poco F1 with a custom ROM installed of Pixel. I also have changed the font using root. I think it isnt starting because i have changed the font and the font is specifically for the English language, it shouldnt probably work for the English XA one is my guess. How do i change my language back to normal English (UK) ?

    When i change the language then phone went blank and i am facing a bootloop.
    it would mean alot if this problem is solved as it is urgent.

    How dangerous can malware/spyware be if I have absolutely no personal information on my phone?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:09 AM PST

    So I want to use or test some modded apps which could be potentially dangerous and I want to do it on another phone which is basically new, has no personal accounts, data or sim cards out of fear that my data could get stolen. Is this a good idea? What's the worst that could happen?

    S8 gets no service?!

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 03:51 AM PST

    So since a couple of days my phone has been getting no service, meaning I can't call anyone or receive any calls and I can't use data (4G). I tried to place my sim card into a different phone and it worked perfectly fine so it's definitely a problem of the phone. I *ASSUME* it has to do with the last update that according to my phone was installed on November 7th. I have no idea how to fix this and I am desperate. I tried everything before factory resetting and nothing worked, then I did a factory reset and still the same problem. Thank you in advance.
