    Android Questions: Had to reset my phone. Now nothing I can do will convince it I don't live north of Detroit.


    Had to reset my phone. Now nothing I can do will convince it I don't live north of Detroit.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:42 AM PST

    I've had my S10+ for about a year and a half, and it had reached that seemingly inevitable point where everything was slow and buggy and laggy, and I decided it was time for a factory reset. Everything went great, everything restored just fine except that NOTHING I do will convince it that my location is not 5172 Renshaw Dr, Troy, MI 48085.

    I have never been to Michigan. I live in southern Vermont, 500 miles away. What's going on? I don't have a VPN on or anything. Help? Please?

    Google drive wont Allow me to upload folders from Chrome

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:19 AM PST

    My Google drive wont allow me to upload folders or multiple images at once anymore I tried finding a answer but nothing popped up.

    Maybe it's the lack of space on my phone? It's an LG phoenix 4, last week I uploaded multiple folders all at once with 1gb of space and zero issues.

    In search of the perfect ePub and PDF app

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 02:31 AM PST

    Hey Reddit,

    I'm looking for an app that I can upload both ePUB and PDFs into that also allows me to highlight and take notes. I'm trying to transition my textbook reading to a more digital format, but I do a lot of highlighting/note taking in my textbooks, which I can't do on my current app (ReadEra).

    I don't mind paying for an app, but I'd prefer one that doesn't have monthly/yearly fees.]

    Thank you in advance

    Use my phone's hotspot for home wifi?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:38 PM PST

    So it turns out my phone's network is about 3 times faster than my home internet. I was wondering if it's possible to find a long term hardware setup to use my phone's hotspot for my home internet.

    I don't have any complex needs. Just basic netflix, streaming and no smart devices. I assume my phone's hardware wouldn't do well sharing it's connection for months on end.

    So is it possible to wirelessly share my internet with a router and let that do all the heavy lifting? I'd prefer a wireless setup if possible.

    I don't want to change my plan because if I can get this to work, it'll save me a ton of money a month.

    Change browser for Android search

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:18 PM PST

    So i have already set Firefox as my default browser but it seems that when i do search using the search bar on Android (https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-BvfcWlWT64EKQkntzRdNTAPayo%3D/0x2206:1440x2960/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/15974571/Screenshot_20190320_093957.png&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwj53OaosbXuAhWDY80KHd1GBNYQ5hMIBTAA&usg=AOvVaw1oRojH-kC1tB3qEhUYN-K_) Chrome is still used. Can i change that to Firefox as well somehow or will that remain Chrome?

    I know it's Chrome because none of my webpages I have visited via this search appear in Firefox history but are available in Chrome's history.

    How to use RAM Manager for Magisk on android 10.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:14 PM PST

    I've been having trouble with apps being killed on android 10. Then I found something about a RAM Manager for Magisk that can fix that. So do I have to root my phone first using Magisk then I downloaded the RAM Manager for it? I tried looking around on xda but they didn't give me the information I'm looking for.

    Facebook Messenger chat heads have disappeared after Android 11 update

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:09 PM PST

    I have the Mi A3, running stock Android, updated to Android 11 a couple of days ago. I've had multiple minor bugs, but it's been like this for months, so I didn't care much. However, the little chat bubbles of Facebook Messenger are now completely gone. I have no idea how to get them back. If I select a conversation in the app and choose the "show as bubble" option, all it does is put that conversation name in the notification bar. No little floating circle. I have allowed permission in settings for Messenger to display over other apps, still no chat heads. What's going on here? Am I missing something? I understand there's some new conversation bubble feature for Android 11, are these two features clashing or was one taken away in favour of the other? I don't really wanna have to open the Messenger app every single time I wanna check a conversation. Any fixes for this?

    Running an app made for an older version of android

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:04 PM PST

    Hello, I was wondering if I could find some help here. A long time ago, I'd say 5 or 6 years, I played the heck out of this game called Castle Master 3D. It was a really neat third person horde battle game. Still available on the app store. However, after trying to reinstall it, the game crashes immediately and I get an error saying that it was made for an older version of android. I'm sure I'll find another issue as soon as I get past that, but I'd like some help here if anyone has a solution. Thank you.

    Factory Reset Samsung

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:06 AM PST

    I am planning on trading in my old samsung galaxy s8 so I factory reset it. I was then told that there were steps I should have taken before factory resetting (encrypting data, signing out, etc...). Is this a big deal? If so, any advice on what I can do now since the phone is already factory reset?

    Just got android 11 on my Note 10. Am I just stuck with all pop up notifications looking like text messages?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:42 AM PST

    On Android 10 text messages popped up in an oval shaped notification at the top, but other notifications were rectangular and slid down from the top.

    Now every single notification looks like an SMS message. Is there a setting to switch this?

    Google Assistant on Phone uses wrong device

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:20 AM PST

    I've never encountered this and have no clue how to fix it.

    Today in the car (before Bluetooth was connected) said "OK Google, Open Deezer". Instead of opening on my phone, it opened on the living room tv... what the hell.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi guys, first of all sorry for my bad english.

    I'm writing this post because my phone broke some hours ago, it is still on but can't use the touch. So here comes the problem, when i unlock my pohone with the fingerprint, it starts touching everything randomly,calling people and sending random messages, and i need to access the notes because i have some serious things on there.

    Now I need your help, do you know where can i find notes when I connect the phone to the laptop, so i can paste those on my pc? I don't have any cloud or backups, don't need photos or videos, just need to recover that notes.

    Thx if u read until this point, and sorry again for my english. Have a good day!!

    Is there an app or a way to know what background programs are running? One app made my phone lag like hell, it didn't even use the battery, I didn't even run it but when I deleted it, my phone became 10x faster.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 01:49 AM PST

    As the title says. I need a way to know what background programs are running and how many resources they are using.

    Just pressing the button on the phone to open running programs doesn't show them, it's frustrating.

    Android 10 / GBoard refuses to accept a single frequently used word in autocorrect or predictive text.

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 03:30 PM PST

    I'm currently using an A20, but this has been an issue on all Android devices I've used. I'd love to shower praise on the chosen one who can fix it.

    Here's the deal. My dog's name is Cami. As you might expect, I talk about her a lot. When I try to use her name in text, though, what appears is either camo, cabi, or cabo. It doesn't even try to add her name into the rotation.

    For added fun, when I say "Cami's," the phone has no trouble with it.

    I've added Cami's name to the dictionary in settings and tweaked the autocorrect settings. Every time I manually enter it, I tap it in the suggestion bar to confirm its the word I want. Any tips will be appreciated!

    Multiple downloads folders?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 07:14 AM PST

    Hi all,

    On my OnePlus 6T I'm using Total Commander as a file browser.

    However, I noticed that I have two (?) downloads folders. One located in ///_downloads and one in /storage/emulated/0/Download.

    Which one is the "real" downloads-folder? The contents in ///_downloads seems to be similar to the other folder but not quite.

    Another question: what file browser would you recommend?
