    Is there any way to change what options pop up when you long press an app? I use "force stop" a lot and it would be nice if it were here.

    S20FE Clock and Media

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 03:38 AM PST

    Hi, I just got an S20FE and I was wondering if there is a way I can change the lockscreen so that it will show both clock and media controls at the same time. I was also wondering if there is a way to move the media controller so it isn't in the top left of the screen.

    Thank you!

    Is there anyway I can view reviews on Play Store from language other than my main?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 04:57 AM PST

    So I live in a japan but my phone is in english. even though I have japanese as second language on phone I still basically can't see any play store reviews as it doesn't show reviews by people who have their phone in japanese (almost all)

    Funny thing is if they're using their phone in English and write a review in japanese then it plainly shows a japanese review. I find it really frustrating that Google limits what language reviews I can read even though I have that language set in my phone, and as I've been living where for a few years all my google services are complete japanese versions

    Is there any way to enable just to be able to see/read them?

    I want to root my phone

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 04:45 AM PST

    I'm pretty well versed with tech but rooting always confuses me so I want to root my Android 10 phone POCO F1 and I want to know if its worth the headache and risky to do it like damaging components in some way. I'm mainly looking to improve general performance.And I would like a game booster which comes in all poco phones I find that very effective for gaming and hardcore tasks like editing as well. So is it worth it??

    How to view Google Assistant chat history on Pixel 4a?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:23 AM PST

    Hi there! On my OG Pixel I was able to simply swipe up after I have activated Google assistant in order to see a conversation type view of my interactions and responses with the assistant. There was also this square button with a small circle in the bottom left corner that I could press that would have the same result.

    However, on my pixel 4A neither of those options are available. I have also tried searching the internet for this as well as the settings but could not find anything other than my Google account saving what I have asked the assistant (no responses).

    Is there a way to see the conversation view on the newer Pixels?

    Edit: here is the view that I was talking about and it also has the button I mentioned on the bottom right https://images.app.goo.gl/qYvNVcyLGeTinCqb9

    How do I get my wife or close family members Into that quick share area instead of random people from my contacts that I have blurred the info on? I always have to go to my Google messages to share stuff which is annoying and I would prefer my 4 favorites to just be there.

    HUAWEI WATCH FIT QUESTION

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 06:43 AM PST

    Hey guys, ive just found this sub so let me know if this is in the wrong place! But I've just received my new Huawei watch fit, and when I skip music, pause, play, etc on spotify, Google home or my phone, my watch vibrates and the text notification appears? The text shows the artist and the song name and this stays in the notification dock! I've turned on gentle notifications but I don't know how to fix this? Is this a glitch on this particular watch or is it an issue for every watch fit? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance guys!

    Clicked a notification, what the heck just happened to my phone?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:15 AM PST

    So I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+. Security patch level: September 1, 2020.

    I checked my notifications as I do every morning. One of the notifications looked like a spam email and said something like "Very important message". I went to expand the notification to reveal the delete button but I must've clicked the notification by accident because what happened next was that I got a bunch of notifications. Like those grey unobstructive boxes that appear at the bottom half of your screen then goes away on its own after a second or two. I freaked out and immediately restarted my phone by holding the power button. I only remember that one of the grey notification boxes said something like "write permission denied".

    What just happened to my phone? Is there anything I should do or investigate?

    Migrating From Cloud Print

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:13 AM PST

    I used google cloud print to print pdf's to the cloud. Anywhere, anytime. Then share those documents with other devices people and have the ability to keyword search those documents. All of the alternatives to cloud print That I see force me to hook up to an actual printer. I don't want to hook up to a printer, I want to print to the cloud and bypass the printer all together.

    Anybody have a suggestion for a cloud print service option that will work like Google did?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 06:26 AM PST

    i have 2 Vonino iMart Pro from my kids school. both tablets are on Android10 latest security patch.

    i bought 2 pairs of BT headphones Sony WH-CH510 and i have problems with one of the tablets. for one of the tablets the headphones connected ok and they are working with Google Meet, Zoom etc.

    For the other tablet, the headphones are connecting to it and they work with youtube or youtube music, but they don't work with any video calling service. i connected 3 different BT headphones and i get the same result. I connected both Sony headphones to the other tablet and they work.

    i reseted the tablet a lot of times, i tried to mess with the developer settings. nothing works.

    Any advice before i take it to a service?

    Fortune 3 RAM

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:46 AM PST

    My phone has much more ram it can tap into but it just won't use it so I get stuck at loafing alot. It's not just Wi-Fi though. Even with things like offline games when I'm disconnected from Wi-Fi. Does anyone know why it won't use all the memory at it's disposal. Even it says it doesn't use it all.

    Anyone else experience this?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 03:42 AM PST

    I have a LG Stylo 5 with android 9..... I had to reset due to no longer having a fingerprint scanner (LG took it away and refuses to fix it, even with being in the 2 year period). I have given up on the fingerprint scanner as I cannot go without a phone for any duration of time....

    But after resetting, I notice I have backlight bleed all around my display when I'm in dark mode. It might be IPS glow, but I've owned this device for nearly a year and have never noticed it until after the reset..... Is this common? Is there something about resetting that destroys the hardware?

    Also, is anyone looking to buy a Stylo 5? Lol (jk, you don't want it.)

    Help with google play store

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:27 AM PST

    Hello guys I have a quick question I thought here might help and I read the rules and found this. Basically I have an apk of an older version of an app. Whenever google store is enabled i can not use the apk and the apk tells me to upgrade so I have to disable google play store to use this apk. My question is "How do I make it so I can use the apk without disabling google play store all the time. Or maybe there is a way I can make a script to disable and then enable play store?" Thanks for your time.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A: Battery 100% Spinning Wheel Indicator/Notification

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:18 AM PST

    I'm having an issue with my Galaxy Tab A where I am constantly getting a spinning wheel notification in the middle of the screen indicating that the the battery is at 100%. I keep the tablet plugged at all times, so it's always at 100% battery. This issue is annoying because it gets in the way of viewing videos and also dims the screen for a second while the notification animation plays out. Is there anyway to disable this in the settings? I've looked but can't find anything.

    Is there a way to get my Android phone to mount as a drive on my aftermarket Android car stereo via USB?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:15 AM PST

    I got a Podofo brand head unit off Amz, which has Android 8.1 installed and includes two USB plugs. One for charging, one for data. Neither charge particularly well. The data USB plug has been able to read off a USB/SD-card stick just fine.
    But when I plug in my phone, my phone asks the "Pictures? Files? Charge only?" pop-up, I select Files, but nothing happens on the headunit. Well, not nothing - if I open VLC player it does show an "OTG device", but says "there are no files or the prefs are wrong. "

    I have access to the "Factory Settings" and can change quite a few things at a root level. But the only settings for USB are to change from 1.0 to 2.0 protocol, and to change from Device to Host. Also something about DVR over USB. No change in any combination of these settings helps...

    Everything else works really well, super happy otherwise. Just don't understand why a USB drive would work but not another Android device that's open to being mounted.

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    is aptx Voice still vaporware? (HD Bluetooth voice calling)

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:51 AM PST

    I've always been looking for wired equivalent Bluetooth headsets for conference calls. the classic sbc mono voice codec sucks

    I don't neccesarily need the latest and greatest "aptx voice" product, but at least I need a codec that pairs well with HD Zoom / WhatsApp / Facebook voice calling, and possibly a boom microphone would inspire confidence.

    I currently have a snapdragon 855+ device, as I understand it aptx voice is a 765 / 865 feature, along with a vaporware selection of headset devices.

    as a side note, I assume HD Bluetooth voice will be terrible on Windows / Linux / Mac for years to come?

    any practical advice here?
