    Android Questions: Just installed android x86 but having problems


    Just installed android x86 but having problems

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST

    I just installed android x86 on an old PC and it only boots with the nomodeset flag. But when this flag is used it runs in a low resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio. When I boot without the flag I see the resolution change to 1080p but instead of the android logo appearing the screen just becomes a glitchy mess. I know it has an old Nvidia GPU but i'm not sure which one.

    �� here's shortlist of best tablets phones - pls help pick top 3 tablets phones - cant live with iphone se

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 10:13 AM PST

    looking for real good tablets phones options, here's requirements that you say we should put:

    latest version of android

    • or android version > first version 10, where can we see what exact version of 10 it has?
      • seems that first version of android 10 has some werid bugs that makes things unusable

    good display quality

    • brightness >400 nits
    • everything else tested

    good display size =

    • > 6' display
    • no more than 13' display

    resolution > 1000*2000

    100 - 400 canadian/us bucks

    • < 400
    • > 100

    has 5g data

    • optional, preferred, but can always throw away whichever new tablet phone, and get a 5g in the future, but seems liek it'd be better to just get 5g tablet now unless we expect tablet phones to drastically get better in future

    requirements were lowered

    did i miss anything else important? or didnt consider?

    need above requirements, or if nothing fits requrieemnts, then whichever options come closest

    ill put ideas/suggestions in my excel google sheet to compare things

    there some ppl that say there were no options for these requirements but all of them were wrong

    here's shortlist that ppl say meets ALL the requirements

    • xiaomi Mi10t lite
      • " 5g,120hz good quality ips display,1080*2400, 6.67 inches, Gorilla glass 5 front and back, Splash proof (no xiaomi phone si ip rated at that price) ,4820 mha battery, Stereo speakers, Dual sim or single sim and memory card, Good build,Decent cameras, 450 nits typ, 6gb ram,2.2 ufs storage in 128gb version, android 10 but will get 11 as well,dual-band A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO. " u/Maximum_Coconut4652 u/Mine_Breaker
    • " Xiaomi in general have lots of bugs " u/Aggravating_Boy3873

    shortlist without 5g data

    here's shortlist where dont know the exact android version so that isnt safe to get

    • Honor X10 Max
      • " Honor X10 Max €240. 5G, Android 10 - Magic UI 3.2 (with multi language set up packs), 7.2" screen, Media-tech Dimensity 800 Octa-core, (with same AI as 1000), 6gigs of ram, 128gig storage, 5000 mAp battery, 22.2 fast charging, dual Sim, liquid cooled, dual speakers, 48 MP camera, Type C connector, headphone jack. " u/sickof50

    here's ideas that just ppl just mentioned, no idea yet if they have requirements

    • LG k92
    • LG V50
    • Huawei Mate40
    • Huawei P30
    • Honor 9x pro
    • Pixel 4A 5G
    • Galaxy A51
    • Moto G 5G
    • Moto One 5G Ace
    • moto g 5g plus
    • POCO X3 display is kind of unreadable under sunlight

    main use

    1. gps voice direcotin
    2. list notes
    3. other things maybe in future

    here's things that dont matter really:

    • energy battery life > 10hours
      • tested when doing gps voice directions (gps uses more tahn other things
      • battery engery life dont matter too much cos can get power charger/bank thing
    • enough ram
    • enough cpu
      • how much ram, and which cpu is needed for voice directions minimmally? based on your tests and tests on sites
      • so can get better phone than this ios iphone too much power not used not needed - wasteful
    • things open instantly
      • want something instant fast
      • ios iphone se feel so slow, too much animations and junk and stuff
    • ips super amolded
      • ips is slightly better than auper amolded basically
    • high ip rating
      • doest seem like this matter, not sure duno where find this infodata
      • you could probably just get a cover that protects from rain ?

    with the options, later on ill compare main options and ill decide

    • uses all gps options in hardware
    • display quality
    • display size
    • gonna go ips > amolded if everything equal
    • anything else that may be slightly better

    cant live with ios, iox sux, android sux too, but at least can install apps to change things, espeically ui - ui is terrible on both, that is the #1 issue

    My gps location is very far off

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 12:16 PM PST

    I'm having an issue where my gps location on the map is incredibly far off. Ive tried the common fixes like flipping the phone and recalibrating gps and tried a few gps diagnostics apps that say how many sattilites im connected to (have no idea what the app does)

    It will show my position on a map almost a half a mile in any random direction from where i am. it will never update correctly.... until a few hours into a car trip will it "somewhat" show what road im on correctly. but it will still show me driving backwards or facing weird directions and never give turn by turn directions. the phone is an sch-r960

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 11:40 AM PST

    Hey guys, I used to use weather timeline, is it gone? I know dark sky was bought by Apple and it's not available anymore. Those two were my go to for weather widgets.

    I've found a few nice looking weather apps but none of them have daily precipitation information on the widget (inches/mm of snow), does anyone know one that has this?

    Thanks

    How long does an Android version remain safe/usable?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 11:25 AM PST

    I'm not very good at fiddling with Android, but somehow managed to root my Redmi Note 5 (whyred). My stupid ass then installed TWRP (yes I rooted with no custom recovery); never used it, but today I was going to update to MIUI12 and the device booted to TWRP, which blocked the installation. The process to install the update on my cellphone, it seems, is quite complicated and includes a lot of risks. So I'd rather not update it. How long will my Android 9 + MIUI11 resist the passage of time?

    Totally messed up my gallery

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:16 AM PST

    I really don't know what happened, but on my Xiaomi Mi 9T my gallery is somehow completely messed up. My gallery app itself works completely normal, everything is in order, but when I want to post something to instagram, snapchat or some other app with an media browser, the first pictures it shows are from 2019.

    I don't know what I can do to fix this, I remember that I reenabled gallery synchronisation yesterday, maybe that was the error?

    I also tried to delete media storage cache and it's storage to let it resort itself but it didn't help.

    Maybe somebody has an idea what I can try, because I'm already thinking about resetting my phone because its so annoying.

    Edit: By now It got even worse, now some files from another folder (which are from yesterday) are on top, but below these files there still completely wrong and starting from 2019 again.

    Thanks for reading :)

    I can't upgrade my P Smart Z to Android 10/EMUI 10

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:20 AM PST

    So as I said in the title, I cannot upgrade my Huawei P Smart Z to Android 10 even if I tried every possible method (HiCare/Support App, Beta tests are no more available, I even downgraded to an older version, maybe I could receive the 10.0 update - nothing happened and downloading a compatible version from the Internet actually failed). I can't try a custom ROM because sadly the bootloader is locked up.

    Any suggestions or advices about how can I make it work? Is there any hope at least for it to work?

    Cannot open ANY URL links from SMS messages, just get Android error "Unknown Object"

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:13 AM PST

    Hey guys/girls

    So I'm an IT tech for a living, but TBH phones aren't my forte... and this is my dads phone (he's in his 80s now and so I said I'd look for him..) .but.. it's a Sony running Android 8.0.0, and I can't see any obvious reason/fix. Have Googled TF out of this and can't seem to find anything other than ONE post on Sony forums same problem, zero responses.

    Affects ALL URL web links in text messages (URL works fine on other systems)

    Has all latest updates downloaded and installed.

    Any ideas / troubleshooting tips please? I know I could factory reset but that's last resort as then the next issue is he probably can't remember the Google account he used when he originally set phone up 5 years ago... you know...

    Put old SIM card in hand me down galaxy s7. No cell data

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:08 AM PST

    I had an old phone with sim card on a Straight Talk Plan. My friend gave me their old Galaxy S7 (upgrade for me) which was on a Verizon network. All features on the phone work great including text and calls but I cannot access the internet or GPS/Google maps unless connected to Wi-fi.

    Cell data is on. Airplane mode is off. Data usage limits are off (turned off not set to zero). I have reset data settings several times. I have even tried manually setting Access Point Names by following some online guides. Nothing works.

    Is it possible this phone is just locked to Verizon or incompatable with my SIM for some reason?

    Google assistant stopped working

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:01 AM PST

    Google assistant suddenly stopped working for me. I noticed that in the setting "draw over other apps" google assistant was turned off, which I'm pretty sure it needs to be able to work. However, it's grayed out and I cannot turn it on. Any idea what's going on?

    Is there any way to block an entire area code for calls and texts?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 08:59 AM PST

    I haven't found much, I'm using Google Messages for texts and google phone for phone.

    For some reason a bunch of realtors and home flippers believe I am the owner of a home 2,500 miles away and are texting me frequently about buying my home (that is not my home). I've been spamming and blocking them one by one but that doesn't really get me anywhere, and this has been going on for months.

    Is there some way I can just block all texts from the entire area code?

    Does enabling accessibility services interferes with the device encryption?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 08:52 AM PST

    I want to activate Bitwarden autofill through accessibility services to improve the accuracy of detecting password fields. However, If you search for "accessibility services android encryption", there is a lot of posts relating accessibility services with the weakening of device encryption. Is this really true?

    How to undo 'removing the "Telephone"-permission from the "Contacts and dialer" app'

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:50 AM PST

    My Redmi 7 running MIUI 9 decided to start randomly going into boot loops today. I was using it and it switched off and couldn't go past the Xiaomi Logo on the restart. It boots once every 4 hours or so and goes back into boot loop after a few minutes. It seems to be a common problem with the brand.

    Read on a forum that the problem is caused by 'removing the "Telephone"-permission from the "Contacts and dialer" app and that one user solved the issue by 'Adding all permissions in contacts& dialer'.

    How exactly can I undo this? I cannot seem to find those particular option in the permission settings.

    Is there a functioning adb command to grant a second party gallery app all permissions a normal gallery would have?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:22 AM PST

    Hey, I am using the gallery app from simplemobiletools and I love it. So much that I uninstalled the files app and replaced it with the simplemobiletools app too. Everything worked perfectly fine until now.

    When I try to delete a picture from my SDcard (I can see them) I get the notification that the app needs permission to do that, but there is no way to grant it in my device, as it I think it is embedded into the standard files app from android (not Google files) that I deleted with adb.

    Is there an adb command to grant that permission?

    I am using android one with current android 9.

    The apps package is called com.simplemobiletools.gallery

    Thanks in advance!

    Scheduling texts on google messages

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 03:28 AM PST

    About two months ago there was a post on r/android saying that the ability to schedule text messages was being rolled out slowly to select users. Then there was another post about a month ago saying it was going live to everyone.

    I was excited to see the post because I have an odd sleep schedule and this was a favorite feature of mine on my previous app. Now that it was coming to google messages I wouldn't have to switch between two apps. But now it seems the roll out time has come and gone and I can't seem to find the scheduling anywhere.

    My initial thought was that I was missing it so I googled how to schedule and found it was exactly the process I expected. Type message, hold the send button until a menu pops up, and then pick a date/time. However when I hold the send button, the only thing that shows is the ability to mark the text as urgent and add a subject line.

    My next thought was that the app needed to be updated, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I then thought it might only be going live on the beta so I joined the beta and checked again, but still nothing.

    Has anyone used this feature? And if so, how do you use/enable it?
