    Android Questions: What is the "Victor" service on android?


    What is the "Victor" service on android?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:02 AM PST

    I have accidentally encountered a heavy network consuming service named Victor on my pixel 4. It got me pretty concerned, being the 2nd most network consuming app in my phone (right after the chrome app), which I am not even aware of. I'd be glad for some clarification on that matter.

    I am using pixel 4, running android 11, security patch of December 5.

    Thanks.

    PS: A screenshot of the sayed service: screenshot

    Samsung Galaxy S10+ Random Rebooting Problem

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 12:15 AM PST

    Okay, I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I'm at a loss of total frustration and very close to smashing this device with a hammer.

    Before you ask and leave an ineffectivr comment, yes, I've tried EVERYTHING.

    I've checked all the settings,

    I've wiped cache partition,

    I've even factory reset and redownloaded all my apps, reconfigured EVERYTHING.

    In the middle of doing anything, (no rhyme or reason, doesnt matter what app since it happens at least three times a day for about 2 months now) it shows "SAMSUNG" like it had just reboot. Locks me out, then has me re enter my pin, not my fingerprint in order to unlock. "Starting your phone," and all that bull.

    It can even happen in my pocket without my knowing and when i really need to use it, OPE! nope..gotta re align my phone to startup again.

    Ive almost been late to work because random rebooting killed my alarm, and samsung will only have the vibrate function part of the alarm work after rebooted without having fully unlocked with a PIN. Thanks again, Samsung.

    I liked Samsung as a phone maker and an electronic company up to this point From their unique android skin that likely boggs down the UI to the legendary exploding batteries in the Note 8, i should have known.

    Excuse my rant 😅 if this gets deleted immediately i guess i had it coming. I just really need help with a possibly easy fix thats not found anywhere on google, or i need a new phone..im looking at you, Moto.😏

    Group messages are received as emails

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:10 AM PST

    Whenever I receive a group text message, instead of having it show up in the app, I receive as it email from '[Phone number]@vzwpix.com'. Is there a setting somewhere on my device (OnePlus 8 Pro) that can stop this?

    Texts received have a code directly under the text.

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:03 AM PST

    I have a Samsung Note 9 that every so often when I receive texts they come with a series of numbers and letters like a code. It will do this for a while and then stop for a while. I don't think I do anything in particular but maybe I am and I just don't realize it.

    Code Example: ~AzWznQBQyiN62wg

    Each code is different.

    I've tried all the basics like restarting my phone, making sure that my phone was updated, clearing the cache, deleting all text messages and starting fresh. I haven't downloaded any apps recently, or received any weird text messages it could be malicious. I don't know if it is related, but I also have issues with texts that I send to group messages going to each individual person. Any help would be much appreciated! TIA

    Google Pixel 3XL (Android 10?) - Forgetting PIN and Backup Phone Contents without PIN

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 12:25 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    What can I do if I forget my lock screen PIN? I know in the worse case scenario, I may have to factory reset my phone. Are there any good alternatives of this and is there a way to backup phone's files and photographs prior to this reset if it ends up happening? Please advise. Thank you in advance :)

    Note 20 Ultra One UI 3.0 update issue

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:58 AM PST

    Hello, So I have a Note 20 Ultra 5G on Verizon. Today the Android 11 update was pushed to my phone along with the One UI 3.0 Advanced messaging is a new feature with this update. However when I try to access it it gives me this error:

    You may have a feature that blocks messaging enabled for your phone number.You'll need to turn off this feature in order to be updated to Advanced Messaging. You can either manage these settings through My Verizon or by giving us a call at 800-922-0204.

    I've tried everything and nothing is working. Does any one have any clue as to how to fix this?

    App to create a bootable USB via OTG cable on Android?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:10 AM PST

    Hey, all is in the question. But, it needs to be free and not to demand me to root the Android as Ižit is risky for me and I am not able to do it via PC. Regards

    About changing language in apps that are recently installed.

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:59 AM PST

    I want to install apps and using it with language differences about my system's language, not every app lets me change its language and I want it to be immediately using the English language.

    (I want in app language always English, and this isn't my system's language "which is Arabic", Note: I don't want to change the system language, I just want to change every app I will install in the future of my system's language to English language).

    Apps for remote support?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:23 AM PST

    Hey, /r/AndroidQuestions!

    TL;DR at the bottom.

    I've got my grandma an Android TV box, which they kind of learned to use for some of the stuff (Skype with auto call accept, YouTube and opening Gallery to see what I've sent via WhatsApp).

    Something happened there. It's still working, but doesn't accept WhatsApp videos anymore and occasionally glitches out.

    I'd like to set something up to be able to connect to their box and help them out with such issues. Before leaving the country I've installed TeamViewer on it, but now it says something about outdated version, when trying to connect, even though I've tried all versions from 8 to 14.

    Are there any other, more reliable options that she would be able to set up with relative ease?

    Appreciate any suggestions.

    TL;DR: What are the options for remote support on Android over the internet that an elderly person can set up with phone instructions?

    Audio (Spotify, audiobooks, etc) stops when opening another app w/audio (eg: games) Already tried most suggestions

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:46 AM PST

    Device: LG G8 ThinQ, Android 10

    Tried: audio apps allowed in background and removed from battery saver, game audio turned off

    When I'm listening to an audiobook (doesn't matter which app), the sound stops but the app keeps going whenever I open any game app (yes, the audio is turned off on the games). I have googled, asked the questions in Android forums and the individual app tech support, but can't find any answer that isn't anything I haven't tried. I'm pretty sure this worked okay before the 10 upgrade, but not 100% sure.

    how to factory reset my device without accessing it

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 04:31 AM PST

    What I mean is factory resetting it from my computer, my phone which is the vivo dual display is quite stupid since once you break the front screen which I did, you can't factory reset it.

    And since I can't find an option to cast my display maybe using USB to view my front display would work, probably. But I don't know how to do that.

    How to set up a new phone for an elderly parent?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 04:24 AM PST

    Hi!

    my mother (60) expressed that she would like to get a smartphone someday. So my siblings and I decided to get her one for Christmas. We bought a Xiaomi Redmi 9c and we don't want her to feel overwhelmed by all the functions etc. While she isn't completely tech illiterate (she uses a computer for basic browsing, emailing etc.), she might be having a hard time adjusting. How would you set up a smartphone so that it's easy to use even for those who are not very experienced? Do you have any recommendations for simple and minimalist launchers?

    Bug with whatsapp/messenger video calls on android (pocophone f1 phone)

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 02:25 AM PST

    Hello eveybody,

    So as stated in the title, I have a slight problem since approximately september 2020 with my videocalls. Everytime I have a videocall, the microphone just doesn't work (on whatsapp and on messenger). I checked with normal calls (still on whatsapp and messenger) and I have no problems with my microphone.

    I tried to reboot my phone, check the permissions, test the microphone, clear cache and data, reinstall both whatsapp and messenger, and finally, i've reset my phone (factory data reset) and it's still not working...

    Does somebody know what can/should I do? Or if somebody had a similar problem and if a solution had been found?

    (sorry for any mistake, english it's not my first language).

    Thank you very much in advance,

    How do I reset the Mock Location App on Samsung S8?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2020 01:24 AM PST

    I was on the developer settings on my Samsung S8, and I saw the setting called "Mock Location App" and I clicked on it. The only option is "nothing" with no icon. Is the the default setting? Is this an app impersonating? If so, how can I reset it? My carrier is At&t if that helps anything.

    Not receiving notifications from Google Assistant on my Android 10 device since the last few days.

    Posted: 18 Dec 2020 11:21 PM PST

    Anyone knows how to solve this issue ? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google App Update and turned on notifications and also did a system settings reset as well a reboot. Have also installed that Google Assistant app from the Play Store but I'm still not getting any kind of notification for Assistant, be it reminders or events or anything.
