    Android Questions: Can I plug a printer in a phone using an USB-C adapter and then use an app to scan/print stuff?


    Can I plug a printer in a phone using an USB-C adapter and then use an app to scan/print stuff?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:35 AM PST

    My printer is very old and is the desk doesn't support its weight, so I keep it far from the computer. Using the phone to scan/print would be much more practical. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    I switched from ios to android I have a few questions.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 02:23 AM PST

    Long term ios user . My last android phone I owned was 5 years ago. I recently upgraded to a s20 fe. I have a question . Ios has a really great feature where it will forward 100% of unknown calls aka callers not stored in your contacts to voice mail. In the phone app and settings I enabled "block unknown/private numbers " . Yet every unknown number and spam call still rings . Is this not a common feature in android yet after all these years ? If not do you guys have any recommendations to make.my phone app like the ios blocker .

    Budget conscious tablet/stylus recommendations for online education?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 11:34 AM PST

    Hey r/AndroidQuestions,

    I work with a company which provides specialized education interventions and we are currently having a huge influx of learners who are struggling with their traditional school education having moved mostly online due to Covid.

    In the past we had switched from paper and pencil to ipad and apple pencils for kids coming into our lab which cut down huge on paper and printer costs, but with our own services having moved mostly online as well, that is too costly a set up to loan out to parents for their kids to use online.

    I'm an android phone user myself so i'm familiar with the ecosystem but with my company using exclusively ipads the past few years i know next to nothing about android tablets.

    I would super appreciate any suggestions for tablets and styluses that will allow palm rejection and give as close to a paper and pen feeling for math and writing, while still being somewhat budget conscious.

    Any students/artists out there that use android devices for drawing/note taking, i'm looking at you!

    Thanks!

    Edit: I'm in Canada btw

    Why is my settings app using so much battery?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:48 PM PST

    For whatever reason the system settings on my samsung galaxy note 10+ is responsible for most of my battery usage according to AccuBattery. my settings app has used 26% of my battery today and I've only used 34% total. I'm running one ui 3.0 (android 11). here's the breakdown of the better usage per AccuBattery https://i.vgy.me/ebOFNQ.jpg

    Fake password?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:55 AM PST

    Is there any way to open a separate partition completely separate from the main one if a specific "fake" password is entered? I am rooted and have TWRP, if it matters.

    Are retail available phones using a non Google Android OS still a thing? Not including rooted phones.

    Samsung A-11 - Text Message Font Size

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:12 PM PST

    Ok I know this is a dumb question but I am pulling my hair out. I must have sat on my phone or something because the font in my text messaging is big now. Too big. I have checked every single setting I can find from General to Accessibility and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell I did. No magnification, font size is the same, it's literally only my texts.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Broken power button, can I disable it? Moto G7 Power

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST

    Hey,

    I got a problem with my power button. It stopped working a while ago, that doesn't really bother me, but recently I got the problem that the phone restarts over and over again and never completely boots. Can I somehow disable the button so I no longer have to deal with a sometimes misfunctioning power button?

    GPS location incorrect and varies from the right location to the wrong one

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:10 AM PST

    I have an old Motorola G5 and am currently trying out a Motorola G8 Plus.

    The old G5 was really good with the GPS location but the G8 Plus is giving me problems.

    I'm swapping the same SIM card between the two phones to try this out.

    The G8 Plus sometimes puts the phone about half a mile from where it really is and consistently gets it wrong where the wrong place is always the same wrong location. Sometimes it will flip back to the correct location and I can force the phone to get it right by using the 'GPS Status & Toolbox' app to clear the GPS data - this immediately works ..... for a while, then it will randomly go back to the wrong location again.

    I've been trying all kinds of suggestions that I've found on google, for example the suggestions on this page:

    https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/how-to-fix-google-maps-showing-wrong-gps-location-on-android.763311/

    but with no luck at all.

    Any ideas please? This appears to be an issue with the brand new G8 Plus but what else can I try?

    Anybody have any ideas as to why my camera keeps glitching like this? I've been having to take pictures with snapchat and export to camera roll to get good quality. Every time I've taken a picture with the "actual" camera lately it glitches like you see here.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:05 AM PST

    It's a moto g stylus about 6 months old. It only recently started doing this.

    Warning "Push service seems to be infected"

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 07:03 AM PST

    Hello everyone. I have a Huawei Android smartphone and I have received this morning a message that reads "Push service seems to be infected. Immediate uninstallation is advised." (Well, my language settings are German but I believe this is the translation.) I clicked on "uninstall" but later I received the warning again. For now things seem to be alright but I am a bit worried. I also ran Avast antivirus app and it didn't find anything.

    I chatted with Huawei support and the guy there told me to do a hard reset which isn't a particularly helpful advise. I saw a recent post on r/Huawei having the same issue. Therefore, I would like to understand if the warning is correct or a recently introduced bug before I go on and do a hard reset. So I wanted to ask if other people had the same issue recently and how they fixed it.

    I am not quite sure if the problem is related to Huawei or to Android. I have posted the question also on r/Huawei, but I feel that this subreddit is more appropriate. Many thanks.

    Android 8.1 on a handheld scanner - How to re-center Text

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 06:33 AM PST

    This is going to be a challenging one, I think. I have a Zebra scanner with a touch screen running 8.1. The problem I am having is in a terminal emulator program called Velocity. The text on the screen is shifted down slightly so that the descender in a lowercase y or lowercase g cannot be seen. This makes the y look like a lowercase v and lowercase g or p look like lowercase o.

    Since I cannot screenshot this, the best way to see an example is in Excel. Where you have your option to shift your text within a cell left, right, or center, there's also the option shift the text up, down, or center. My text is shifted down.

    Within the Android OS, Text appears to be fine. Velocity is the only application installed. I only have two scanners running this application and one scanner is displaying fine. I'm not finding the correct settings.

    New Update Made PIP Locked

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 04:38 AM PST

    Yesterday my phone was forced to do an update and since then everything has been off. The UI I can handle and adjust to, but the Picture-In-Picture window is now locked at the bottom of the screen and if I try moving it, it just goes away. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or is this just some bug?

    The device is a 10 and the carrier is T Mobile. I've already tried looking in settings, restarting, closing apps, etc but it stays in place even when I have the keyboard open.

    How the hell is this even possible (Samsung galaxy s20 fe) is allowing these youtube quality options

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 04:25 AM PST

    In the three images, I show a picture of the video's title, the video, and the quality settings it allows, and I'm completely dumbfounded by it. Before the update I could only have 1080p, and now it tells me I can go up all the way to 2160p I'm pretty sure it's a glitch or something, and I'm clueless when it comes to phones, but I believe it's impossible for the phone to actually even go that high, there is no way the screen resolution can do that, either that, or I'm fucking stupid. https://photos.app.goo.gl/M5j5vY53sqyFAVZ57
