    When does google start sending these updates and should I worry?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 07:47 AM PST

    Google play store send these notifications

    https://imgur.com/a/6k0wUHf

    https://imgur.com/a/zlzJqqQ

    It's the second time google playstore is asking for re-start (in one month (first time I did restart my device))

    In the notification it says for device set-up?(second image)?? Should I worry or restart my device?

    Note:- the notification is not clickable, you can only restart the device from notification (1st image link) or schedule it.

    Edit: I forgot to mention I use a redmi device. Even though they require android to work but the update is always rolled out by the company(both miui update and Android). My concern is "I used redmi devices for 3 years and never got one like this". Also this is the second time in a month.

    Moreover it's only notification.(when I click on notification it doesn't take me to any google play store app or any services app).

    Is this safe or common?

    ---++++++-------+--++---------

    One more thing:-

    Sorry for not getting to the main point. I did some research after posting this here.

    and

    But what is this:- https://imgur.com/a/QuEkMJq

    I didn't download these files.

    I did google and it seems to me I should worry?

    There were maybe 11 or 13 files. I deleted them carelessly leaving the 3 files. a generic image or illustration of phones screen and the other was a 2second clip of what look like an illustration of phone scrolling through content and I can't open the third one.(also, all of the files I deleted)

    What should I do? Should I delete the rest ?

    Google Assistant does not speak out loud, doesn't have a microphone icon to ask follow-up questions, and doesn't respond to "Ok Google".

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 06:49 AM PST

    When I first bought my Pixel, the Google Assistant worked properly. While talking to support to troubleshoot an issue, they had me delete all my settings, which seems to have messed some other things up.

    As of now, the Google Assistant can be triggered by swiping from the corners, but it doesn't respond aloud despite having it set to "Speech Output: Full". The Assistant also does not respond to "Ok Google", and I cannot train or delete my voice model.

    Additionally, after swiping from the corner and asking a question, I cannot ask a second question unless I swipe from the corner again. I remember that follow-up suggestions used to appear on the bottom after asking a question. I also remember there used to be a microphone to prompt the assistant to listen to another question. Those options are now gone.

    What I have already tried: clearing the Google app cache and data, uninstalling and reinstalling Google app updates, un-enrolling from the Beta program, running in safe mode, deleting my voice model from a different phone. The only next step I can think of is factory resetting my phone, but I am worried about getting everything back to how I like it on my phone (i.e I would lose some of the photos and files I have saved locally for quick access).

    Please let me know if you know how to fix any, or all, of my issues.

    Phone is autoplaying music

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:16 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    Since a few weeks now my phone is playing music by itself. I found out that this most of the time happens when I connect to a bluetooth device. This happens about 50% of the time. The music is not downloaded on my device and plays at the same time with other music and video's. The only thing that fixes it, is restarting the device, just to let it happen again. I can't find anything online about this and I'm rather annoyed by it, so I hope anyone here can help me out.

    Thanks in advance!

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 04:51 AM PST

    I debloated the whole phone but i don't know how to change the default downloader app to another open source one.

    I also had problems that i had to click on the "Try again" button in the manager because otherwise it didnt downloaded anything.

    Privacy related question, can an app on your phone record screen without you knowing.

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 10:11 PM PST

    How can I ensure privacy while also sideloading apps? I have a few side loaded Apps from reputable sources like apkmirror but I still wanted to know if privacy can be an issue

    Samsung galaxy tab A 10.1 inch, trouble with using the 'view open apps button' to close things etc

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:53 PM PST

    You know that button at the bottom of your screen, when I swipe up from it to view all open apps so I can swipe them away, it goes all funny and without touching the screen it flicks all the apps away but it doesn't actually, they are still open. And then other things where menu won't stay open when I try to do it and other random things. What is wrong with it? I have a Samsung galaxy tab A 10.1 inch. Its only recently started doing this and I don't know how to fix it

    Volume lowers when I get a notification

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:38 PM PST

    So this has been a issues on my past 2 phones and it's really starting to make me mad so basically if I have all my volume like media, notifications and touch/feedback to a level I like every time I get a notification everything but ringtone will lower all the way and back up and sometimes it won't even go back to where I had it it will flat out mute itself it gets frustrating because when I watch youtube my volume will out of nowhere mute itself a notification tone won't even play just boom mute and there is times where I will have my bluetooth on in the car jamming out and when I get a notification my volume will lower but not all the way to let me know I have a notification and will go back to high but sometimes it will just go silent and I have to turn it back up it frustrates me the most because I'm freaking driving and this issue has happened on my past two phones the one I currently have is a lg stylo 4 xl with the current version of Android oh and I even did a factory reset a while ago and still dose that

    Am I missing something? Terminal programs for running adb commands with just the phone? Wanting to disable "doze" globally.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:17 PM PST

    I have a rooted phone with magisk, and I abhor the aggressive background app massacre that goes on.

    I have all android and OEM battery management/optimizing disabled and used the developer options to change app standby options so the apps missing notifications are marked as Active. I still end up with like all but 3 apps missing/killed when I wake up in the morning, which means I get no notifications unless I go an reopen each app myself.

    Anyway, I can run the ADB commands from my PC, but that's hardly convenient to do every reboot, and I keep seeing forum/XDA posts (and even in magisk modules) saying to open "the terminal emulator".... sure. But how? Where? I tried termux, but have seen posts about it not working. I've seen people say "oh, that just means a terminal on a different device" on other XDA posts.

    So, uh. What am I missing here?

    android backup via adb

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:09 PM PST

    I tried to save my phone via adb. However, by adb backup -f "D: \ myfolder \ myapp.ab" -all -apk -nosystem1, I was able to back up only the 5.3mb log file. Phone calls logs, all accounts lost when I try to restore the phone from this backup. I expect the all command to back up all the data on the phone, but it does not seem to. What options should I use to completely save my non-rooted Android phone?

    I usually use the picture-in-picture option for Youtube. Although, trying to pause or skip while in this mode is very inconsistent. Is there any way to fix this?

    Removing Google Account and keeping photos

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 07:47 AM PST

    Hi all
    I've searched and checked FAQs so hopefully this isn't a repost. I can't find definitive answer on any forums or tech support.

    My Google photos have stopped backing up, backup just says 'Waiting to backup' for the last two weeks. Apparently a solution is to remove Google account and then add it back again

    Question is will this remove the photos on the phone or not?
    ie. can I remove my Google account and then add it back, and then continue to backup the photos currently only saved to the phone. will those photos only saved to the phone remain?
    It's about 1500 photos I'd really like not to lose, not have to backup manually

    Pixel 3, fully up to date, non-rooted, I have a second Google account on the same phone and can remove it as well or not remove it, whichever is better

    Thank you in advance

    Nokia 8.1 - Can't load Android system

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:26 AM PST

    Hi! When I tried to boot my Nokia 8.1 this morning, it showed some error message like "Can't load Android system. Your data might be corrupt". I can choose between "Try again" and "Factory reset". Still, I would like to get some data from the phone before performing a reset.

    I have read from other people having the same problem and managing to rescue the phone in recovery mode. I tried to reach this mode, but for some reason, it does not work. What I tried:

    1.) Pressing power button and volume up -> nothing happens, phone boots to failure screen again

    2.) Pressing power button and volume down -> Phone does not boot to failure screen but shows the "Android One" logo with "Fast boot" and some percentage (probably battery) at the top. Still, adb does not find the phone with the command "adb devices" and there are no options displayed on the phone.

    Is there anything I can try to save my data? Or did I do anything wrong?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Phone suddenly taking a long time for screenshots

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:10 AM PST

    I have an LG G7 Thinq. For the first year I had my phone, taking a screenshot was instant. The screen would blink, and the image was saved. Now out of nowhere, taking a screenshot freezes my phone for around a minute, and then a preview image of the screenshot pops up, which I have to swipe away. Half the time, the screenshot doesn't save either, so I have to repeat the process once or twice. I don't know what changed, but I want my old, fast screenshots back :(

    How do I allow my phone to send these messages to system numbers?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:02 AM PST

    A few months ago, I had tried to send a message like these, but I accidentally tapped "Do not allow" on something that I no longer remember. Ever since then, my phone doesn't allow me to send messages to system numbers, like for offers and corporations. It doesn't happen with any other kinds of numbers. It's very frustrating, and I can't seem to find any results on Google. Does anyone know what causes this, and how to fix it? Thank you.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 07:10 AM PST

    I am working from home, recently, I had to take calls from my cell phone which is cumbersome as I spend 5+ hours a day talking and would like to use my computer instead. I was wondering if there was a way to connect my phone to my computer ?

    Storage full after deleting cache/apps

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 04:36 AM PST

    Hi y´all:

    For the last week my phone (Moto G6 Play w. Android 9) has been popping up the notification of full storage. I´ve been cleaning the cache of every app, using AVG Cleaner and deleting heavyweight apps like Facebook to gain some space. After all of this, and 2 days with around 600MB of free storage, I get the notification again and the available space turned to just around 90MB. I have checked for viruses/malwares but the phone seems to be ok on that aspect. What should I do to solve this? Is it because of being a +2yo? Any help is welcomed on this matter!

    Custom Rom for Samsung N-GT8010

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:32 AM PST

    I hope that someone here can help me out here.

    So I tried to install a custom rom on GT-N8010.
    Used Odin to flash ClockworkMod and TWRP.
    I wiped cache and system.
    Then I Intalled LineageOS 16.0 + Gaps: Some error while installing, so the instalation was aborted.
    LineageOS 15.0/ResurectionRemix/SlimRom+GApps the instalation went fine. But on every one of these Roms the tablet is stuck in the bootscreen of the rom.
    Between them I wiped cache and system.
    Does someone have an idea what wnet wrong?

    It's the secon time that I tried flashing a custom rom and it definetly isn't my favourite past time but one of our children want's to use the tablet and it is so old that barely any apps are working.

    Adaptive Battery & System Apps

    Does anyone know if adaptive battery works on pre-installed system apps (something like Qualcomm app packages) and categorizes them into buckets or would they be exempt?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:39 AM PST

    Hi need some help with my phone, I recently dropped it causing the touch screen to stop working, I can see whats happening but I cant input any inputs. To use my phone I bought a cable letting my plug my mouse into my phone and use that to input my commands but I have a problem. While trying to back it it up I have enabled USB debugging but when I plug it into my pc I get a message asking my to allow USB debugging from my pc and a RSA key fingerprint to confirm. The problem is I cannot accept it as the screen does not work and if I unplug the device from my pc to plug in my mouse the message leaves. is there any way to automate the acceptance of this or by pass it. I understand its a long shot but just asking incase anyone had any ideas
