    Android Questions: My Phone tries to download everything I download to my nonexistent SD Card, even though it's supposed to download to the internal storage


    My Phone tries to download everything I download to my nonexistent SD Card, even though it's supposed to download to the internal storage

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 06:45 AM PST

    I got a new phone and wanted to download some stuff, however if I try to download something this pops up and I don't know how to get it back to normal, although it should already be default.

    If it matters it's on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, it happens on every App I try for the exception of Google Drive

    Edit: I found the reason, it seems that it's about the apps I used being not yet working with this version of Android, Chrome seems to work

    What the hell is taking up so much space on my Galaxy S7 Edge?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 04:11 AM PST

    So according to the screenshot I took of my phone, out of 32GB, I have used around 16.1GB of space. What the hell is taking up the other half of my storage space? I understand that a lot of space is taken up by the system itself, but 16GB??? Is it an "empty my cache" issue? Does the cache of any app count towards the total app storage value? What the hell is going on? Please help!

    Need help. I clicked on a suspicious link.

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 06:24 AM PST

    I got a text message from a random phone number saying that the sender took my baggage home since I wasn't available at the time and sent me a link to confirm it. I instinctively clicked on the link thinking it might be related to work. It redirected me to an unsecure website then asked if I should begin downloading a file that might harm my device. I realized that it might be some kind of malware as I have no recollection leaving anything so I immediately pressed cancel and exited out of the site. I wanna know if there's a possibility that my phone has been compromised. I also wanna know if it's safe to reply to ask the identity of the sender. P.S. Sorry if I sound stupid, I'm not knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. I already did an antivirus scan and it says there's no problem but I've heard mobile antivirus are useless so I'm asking just to be sure.

    BIL bought my wife a phone online. I checked the IMEI, and it says it's a clean phone from Panama. I'm trying to get it to work with her cell provider (total wireless), but it says that "the IMEI is not available for use with our byop plan"

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:41 PM PST

    Phone is a Samsung Galaxy a20s. Checked firmware version, said Panama/Brasil. Checked IMEI, it's clean, but lists Panama as it's country.

    Is there anything I can do, or should I reset it and tell BIL to send it back?

    I'm familiar with Odin, but as it's IMEI, I'm assuming it's baked in and functionally unusable to me, but I figured I'd ask y'all.

    Wife wont turn on her ringer

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:40 PM PST

    So the wifie wont turn her ringer on. She gets alot of phone calls and notifications ect... but when I need to get a hold of her I really wish I had a wireless communication device I could reach her on to tell her to answer her phone. Is there an app or feature where when I call her, it turns on the ringer regardless of if she has it on or not?

    Sort notification by apps

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:40 PM PST

    Hi all

    I had a Huawei Mate 10 Pro and it has a nice feature sorting the notifications by apps and only show one icon in the status bar even with multiple notification.

    Now I have a Oneplus 8 Pro and after google-ing the issue I have not found any solution to make it the same.

    Is it even possible or is it just a Huawei feature? If yes how so?

    Thabk you my friends

    What is an app capable of reading on my external SD card when it has that permission? Can it see pictures, music files and open them? More specifically app games with that type of permission.

    Can anyone tell me how scan for malicious software on a Galaxy A10e?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:11 PM PST

    My friend made the mistake of letting somebody he didn't know borrow his phone and when he got it back it was acting strange. The biggest thing he's noticed is that it's dropping all his calls. We're both pretty new to Androids and all I really know how to do it look through all his apps and see if there are any he doesn't recognize. Any advice?

    Phone not changing audio output automatically

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 11:31 AM PST

    Hi all! I own an A30s and like, about two weeks ago, when I inserted headphones in the phone it didn't work. I went online to try and find someone with the same problem, and did, but they just recommended an app to change the output manually (Lesser Audioswitch). It worked, but I don't want to rely only on an app for something that should be so basic. Went through all settings, couldn't find anything. Any ideas of what to do in this kind of situation?

    Question about battery life

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 11:30 AM PST

    So I recently got the OnePlus 8t and am wondering if a screen on time of 7 To 9 hours(according to battery usage in settings) is normal. I use 120 Hertz and have my brightness at 25% ish. My old phone the Huawei y7 and my brothers redmi note 9 pro both have much better battery life then me. I guessing that's cuz they aren't 120 Hertz and much lower specs that use less power but I'm not sure cuz this is my first actually good phone and don't know what to expect lol

    How do I get this keyboard to go away?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 10:58 AM PST

    The keyboard on my phone works grand for my wee Donald Trump hands, and the spacebar is a regular size, however when I open chrome it changes the layout of the keyboard to add in extra keys that can go ".com" and the spacebar becomes smaller. I think we all know where this is going, yes my google searches have taken 3-5 seconds longer due to time lost hitting backspace and retyping. Basically, is there any way to disable the keyboard with all the stupid "internet keys"? I want the same keyboard I use to text to be the one that I type a website into. Never before have there been so many unintentional full stops (period points) in my searches. It reads like a pornstar trying and failing to send a telegram.

    Also, I do have screenshots of what I'm talking about, however I don't know how to attach them to this post.

    Google Play store only works in web browser?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 10:42 AM PST

    Just like the title says: I can only install apps on my mobile using a web browser.

    If I try to install an app using the android play store, I get random error messages - type 192, 193, 403,... I tried all the standard tricks (cache deletion, data deletion, restart, re connection of my account), nothing worked. I just have reset the phone to the original settings and now try to reinstall my apps.

    The not so funny thing is: I was able to install some system updates/upgrades, and the phone was able to download around 15 of the apps, but now I get the same errors again.

    The not so funny part II is: if I look up the google play store using a web browser on my PC and select an app and my phone as target for installation, I am able to install every app which fails with error 192,403,.... on Android.

    Anyone has seen a similar reaction/bug combination?

    Suddenly getting a notification alert any time I wake up my phone.

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:32 AM PST

    Started randomly a few days ago, without updating the OS or anything. If I unlock my phone or tap the screen when it goes dark, I get a notification alert - sound or vibration, depending on setting. No graphic notification accompanies it, only the alert.

    If I go to notifications and 'recently sent' there is nothing.

    What can I do about this?

    Eye Comfort (blue light filter) mode not functioning properly

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:28 AM PST

    I've an OPPO Reno 2 and I've noticed that occasionally, certain webpages (only while browsing not in any apps that I've seen) the screen will suddenly change to having the blue light coming through. In the status bar, however, the Eye Comfort setting is still turned on, so it isn't that it's switching the setting off, the specific page is loading and the screen turns blue. It isn't even a site-wide thing; specific pages turn the screen blue while other pages on the same website stay normal.

    Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there a way to fix it?

    Cheers.

    Factory reset goes into a boot loop on my jellybean 4.2 tablet. I downloaded the correct OS to a PC and unzipped it on to an SD Card. After inserting card into tablet and using the update from sd card just shows all the files. It never starts to load the OS. What am I missing?

    Has anyone found an alternative to Google photos for June? Lol

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 02:32 PM PST

    If I pay the subscription can I upload whatever I want, let the subscription run out, and access whatever I have but NOT store more until I pay again? That would be nice.

    Or will the limit decrease upon the subscriptions end and what can't be contained will spill outside the glass :p
