    Android Questions: Which software can I use to transfer music (25k songs) and playlists (about 50, some of them quite large) from itunes to an android phone ?


    Which software can I use to transfer music (25k songs) and playlists (about 50, some of them quite large) from itunes to an android phone ?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 04:54 AM PST

    I struggle with the playlists, I'm not able to transfer them easily. I have tried to use iSyncr, which wasn't able to transfer any playlist, and DoubleTwist (advice from someone here), which was able to transfer some of them but consistently crashed after 2-3 playlists. Can you help me ? Edit : a software that automates the export of .m3u files from itunes to make the process easier could do the trick too but I wasn't able to find any good and easy one :(

    Pixel 4a 5g always "charging rapidly" (question)

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 09:18 AM PST

    I don't seem to understand the fast charging mechanics of this phone every time I charge this phone it automatically goes to "charging rapidly"..... I don't want to use fast charging( I don't have other charger for this). I've tried charging in different times and charging with an alarm 8hrs+ in advance so the adaptive charging kicks in. Is there a way to manually control the charging mode of pixel 4a 5g or tips I can try? I am only using the charger that came with the phone. Thanks.

    Zoom Am7 doesn't work with S21 Ultra

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:24 PM PST

    After having received my S21 Ultra (exynos) I was excited to see the company Zoom Audio has recently released a usb c plug in mic, the Am7 (specifically for Android).

    After installing the "handy audio app" (by Zoom Audio) and plugging in the Am7 (and allowing all permissions) the audio levels go to Max (static like) regardless of the physical gain setting on the mic, even in a quiet environment.

    I also tried using the stock camera app, and even 3rd party camera apps but the result is the same : doesn't record sound, even though the led mic levels indicate it's picking up sound.

    I reached out to Zoom Audio and they got their hands on a snapdragon s21 ultra and they claim it works perfectly.

    Are there any hidden or developer settings that are interfering with the external mic?

    How to Protect Yourself When Using An Android Phone Without Security Updates?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:22 PM PST

    So I'm rocking a Pixel XL which google has stopped providing security updates for in some time. I'm not using it as my main driver, only as a backup. Is there anything I can do to keep data on that phone safe?

    Some things that I would prefer not to do: anything that requires me to root my device & flashing custom ROMS.

    So far I've only downloaded an anti-malware software (BitDefender Free) but I'm unsure whether that'll help patch up the vulnerabilities that security updates are there to fix.

    Where can I find a detailed version history of Android?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 11:21 AM PST

    I want to get a general idea of how often minor updates are being released. The best thing I was able to find is a history of the major versions e.g. Android 9, 10, 11. I am looking at how often they release new versions. For iOS, even the Wiki article shows a detailed timeline and changelog. Is there something similar for Android?

    Is it possible for my Samsung Galaxy S10 to format its microsd card to FAT32?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 11:16 AM PST

    I have a 64GB microSD card in my phone that I want to use for external purposes, but it is absolutely imperative that I format it to FAT32. I do not have a computer than can read these kinds of cards and am wondering if I can make my phone format it

    Where is fast charging at these days?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 01:44 AM PST

    I haven't really kept up to date with fast charging since QC2 was a thing. I'm currently using a 2nd hand Huawei Mate 10, and charging it with I think a 1.8A charger and I think a thick-gauge usb c cable.

    I recently came across this from Huawei about the EMUI fast charging symbols:

    https://i.imgur.com/Ta5gVjM.jpg

    I currently have the standard charging symbol. My questions are:

    1. Am I missing out on much just having standard charging (are any of the fast charging options that much faster)?

    2. What's the current Quick Charge standard and is it universally compatible (or will I need a Huawei charger)?

    3. Does charging wire gauge still matter?

    where does fdroid saves downloaded apk files?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 09:40 AM PST

    My fdroid app size is nearly 700 mb.i know that if you failed to install any app or any error occurs after you first downloadbthe app, you dont have to download the app again, you can just install it second time without downloading it. so my guess is fdroid save the apk files somewhere and i want to know where so i can delete all un necessary apks.

    Unable to install Apple Music outside of Work Profile.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 08:57 AM PST

    (Previously posted to the S10+ subreddit with no luck). My S10+ is set up with a personal and work profile; when installing Apple Music, the install fails if I attempt to install on the personal profile. It installs without issue on the work profile.

    I have tried uninstalling it from the work profile first, rebooting the device, downloading from both the play store and sideloading the APK directly downloaded from Apple's website, clearing play store data/cache, and even resetting the phone to set it up from scratch and attempting to install on the personal profile before installing any other apps. App downloads fine, but fails when installing. Checked just to be sure, behavior does not change with different wifi networks or if on LTE.

    Snapdragon S10+, carrier locked to Verizon, not rooted. This started before and has continued after the oneui 3.0 update, and the occasional security update hasn't changed the behavior either. Apple Music is the only app this happens to. Haven't found anything online where this only occurred with one profile like this.

    Haven't had this issue on my personal unrooted Snapdragon AT&T S8 Active without a work profile using the same google account, so not likely account related.

    This prevents me from using the app in Android Auto, with Bixby Routines, etc...

    Has this happened to anyone else, and is there some workaround I can do to either get it installed on the personal profile or use the work profile app with features such as Android Auto? (Work apps cannot be used with Android Auto AFAIK, and my device policy prevents merging work profile and personal profile apps, though I couldn't do that anyways for this without AM installed on the personal profile in which case that would not be necessary).

    Using multiple eSIMs and a regular SIM in the device -- is this possible?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:06 AM PST

    In the *same device

    1. In Android devices that support eSIM (not dual SIM/lines!), can I have multiple eSIMs stored in the same device? I assume only one of them can be active.

    2. On the same device, can I plug a physical SIM to use the physical SIM, without losing stored eSIMs?

    3. On a device that has a physical SIM and multiple eSIMs, can I active which line I want to use from settings easily?

    Help me fix my s10 screen flickering??

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 08:36 AM PST

    Dropped my s10 a while ago, and the phone screen started flickering right below the shatter. the screen is still entirely intact since I can still type and touch even when it's flickering, but it's beyond annoying and inconvenient. If I were light-sensitive, I'd be having seizures right now.

    Is there any way I can fix this myself without having to pay for it?

    I've already tried updating the software, restarting the system, and turning off adaptive brightness.

    I've heard that restoring factory settings could fix it, but I'd like some assurance that'll actually work before I delete everything.

    ...Any suggestions? That don't involve paying a professional? Please?

    My brother passed away and had a Galaxy Note 10 Plus

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:13 PM PST

    Hello all,

    A few months ago, my brother passed away and he had a Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The phones in great shape. I DO NOT want or need any info off of it, I just want to resell it since i have no use for it myself. He was on Sprint. Ive taken it to Tmobile and they had no issue wiping it after verification of his account closing, death certificate, etc.

    I do not know his google or samsung passwords, logins or any of that info and none of my family does either. We dont know his swipe pattern on his phone either.

    I cannot figure out if its even possible to contact google to help me out with this. They dont have a chat support or anything. Their community basically only references forgotten passwords and 2FA on how to unlock it, again, which I dont have access to his email addresses or anything.

    Is there anything I can do with this phone? I'd like to resell it because i know its worth a fair amount of money still and fully useable, but cant seem to 'fully unlock it' for resale. I dont believe there should be any data on it anymore after tmobile wiped it.

    Ive submitted the Account Disabled form to Google, and they responded back within 3 minutes telling me that his account "is active" and to do a forgot password and follow the steps. They didnt read any of the note I wrote them in the form fully explaining my situation and how thats not possible.

    Really just looking for the right direction to go here on contacting Google or how unlock it.

    Thank you

    Help! My android is on split screen and I don't know how to take it off. I also don't have an app on the bottom one.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 01:39 AM PST

    I would show a photo but I can't so I'll try my best to explain.

    My android is on split screen and I can't take the split screen off, I don't know how.

    When I search it up, they tell me to leave the app but I'm not using an app on the other end.

    How do you take the split screen off my phone? I don't even know how I made a split screen.

    Samsung trade in help? (canada) . No way to select oneplus 7t (but why is oneplus 3t and 6t there?)

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 07:13 AM PST

    As title suggests. I've also tried doing Other Other but just get a 0.00 $ estimate after inputting the IMEI.

    I've tried this with the S20 FE and S21 , but imagine it'd be the same deal for any other models online.

    Am I out of luck on this trade-in?

    thanks

    Has anyone found the flag to change the most visited sites grid in Chrome back to normal?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 07:01 AM PST

    So since yesterday, Google has made a really stupid change to the Chrome new tab page. The grid of most visited sites is now 3x2 instead of 4x2, which is just a complete waste of space. I've looked though every single flag in chrome://flags, and can't find the flag to change this behavior. Does it just not exist?

    Also I found some other useful flags - if anyone wants to change the overflow menu back to normal (Looks like this)

    Set the following flags to disabled -

    chrome://flags/#tabbed-app-overflow-menu-regroup

    chrome://flags/#tabbed-app-overflow-menu-three-button-actionbar

    Also, if you want Google search webpage in dark mode, set this flag to enabled -

    chrome://flags/#enable-android-dark-search

    Really hope I can figure out how to fix the new tab page, since I haven't found the flag for that one unfortunately.

    Corrupt data files?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 02:38 AM PST

    Hi everyone. I woke up to my phone (pixel 3a) displaying the "cannot locate system files your date may be corrupt" error screen. Try again option worked the first time and it's working fine at the moment but I was wondering what might have caused it? Also I want to back up some files, would it be safe to plug it in to my computer for file back up?

    Bluetooth battery usage question

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 06:18 AM PST

    Hello, I have a Galaxy S9 and also use a Galaxy Active 2 and Galaxy Buds plus. So I keep bluetooth enabled to make use of the watch. At some point late last year, I started experiencing increased battery drain. According to Better Battery Stats, there's a bluesleep wakelock about 60-70% of the time, and the phone is awake with screen off at a high percentage. So I have to recharge the phone in the early evening.

    But this wasn't always the case. Even using the watch with bluetooth on, the wakelock was not occuring earlier last year and I used to be able to make it a day and a half on one charge. I have done a factory reset on both the phone and the watch, also tried clearing the bluetooth cache with no luck.

    I've looked all over for a solution. Just wondering if anyone has any insight. Thanks.

    Not sure if this is the right place but how do you download Samsung Notes on Windows?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 06:06 AM PST

    I have a 2 in 1 laptop-tablet and was wanting to use Samsung Notes however, it says it is currently unavailable in the Microsoft Store and only allows me to redeem a code.

    I saw others post about clicking the 3 dots next to the GET button but there is no GET for me. I also downloaded an APPX version and it doesn't seem to have all the features the current app has. Is there any other way to install it or am I stuck with the APPX version?
