    Android Questions: How can I select a default calling service.


    How can I select a default calling service.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 10:05 AM PDT

    So I downloaded a VoIP app called Zulu and now everytime I call someone my phone asks me if I want to make calls with T-Mobile or Zulu. This is very annoying and prevents my Google assistant from making calls, is there any way for me to just select T-Mobile as the default?

    AT&T Blacklisting Phones

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 09:42 PM PDT

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this but my phone is an Android, and this does include some technical aspects. As most everybody here is aware, AT&T is getting rid of 3G and they provide a list of phones that will be compatible after that point. My phone didn't make the cut. Phones years older did, however. I have an HTC U11 but the HTC One M9 will still be "compatible," for example. So I'm 100% sure that my phone has the capabilities to work on their service, it's just not on their list. So they won't activate HD voice calling, or voLTE, or WiFi calling or whatever it takes to continue using their service. It seems to me that if a phone isn't included on their list, regardless of its capabilities, that they're just going to cut the service off to said phone on the deadline date. Not sure if it will happen exactly that way, and I hope it doesn't, but it appears that way. My question is: if AT&T kicks these phones off of their service, will services that use AT&T towers such as Straight Talk also deem these devices incompatible? Just wondering if anybody has any insight or wisdom on the matter. I really don't want to have to buy a new phone because of this. Thank you in advance for any responses.

    EDIT: The list of phones which will be compatible February 2022. Sorry, it's in PDF format.

    Accidently clicked on link from scam text, now I'm getting 15-20 scam texts and calls a day. Is there anything I can do? Do I need to be worried about malware?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 11:51 AM PDT

    Galaxy A20, running Android version 10. I have disconnected it from the internet, and hadn't logged into anything sensitive while I was connected. Cleared Chromes cache.. Pretty sure nothing downloaded or installed when I clicked the link, but I'm not the most tech savvy, so of course I'm afraid of malware. Is there anything I can do to check? Phone was already kinda laggy and would freeze sometimes before this. I did go through all download apps, and didn't notice anything fishy.

    And, of course the other issue...obviously my data got passed around, because now I'm receiving an incredible amount of scam texts and calls. Each day I get more and more. Up to 17 texts so far today, and a handful of calls. I'm about ready to change my damn number and buy a new phone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    App is updating to internal storage despite being stored on SD

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 11:26 AM PDT

    Moved an app to SD. When you start it, it updates within the app and sends all of it to internal storage and, of couse, you can't find the files because its Android; it has to be as frustrating and anti-user friendly as possible. Is there no longer a way to set SD as default storage for apps or am I forced to use a third party to use this phone properly?

    How likely is a used samsung phone to have a virus or spyware installed onto it?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 10:30 AM PDT

    I just bought a used android phone from german ebay. I wanted to ask, how likely is it that someone has installed a spyware or virus into the phone and its going to start harvesting my login details and personal info from the phone? Asking because i haven't bought a used phone before, it was always a new phone before this.

    Are the custom ROMs worth it in 2021?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 10:02 AM PDT

    We all know it takes a efforts to install a custom ROM and also risk of bricking the device. So is it worth the effort in 2021. And which ROM particularly do you find better than the normal OEM ROMs out there?

    Why not all android devices are allowed to use a proxy wifi connection?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 09:51 AM PDT

    I noticed that on a Galaxy S8 with Android 9 and Galaxy J5 with android 9 I do not have the option to "Modify network" when long-tapping the wifi while on a Huawei P30 Pro with Android 10 or a Google Pixel XL I do have that option. What's going on? Is there a workaround to be able to use a proxy on wifi connections?

    Videos in Gallery Won't Play Properly

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 09:33 AM PDT

    I recorded several videos over the course of a few weeks on my phone. For example, one is about 8 minutes long. However, when I go to watch the video they stop playing the video at about 52 seconds or so, and the tracker at the bottom stops moving. However, the audio for the rest of the video still plays. I'm guessing something is wrong with the file itself.

    Is there any way to restore these files? I've tried moving them onto my pc and looking at them there with no luck either.

    Phone is Samsung S10.

    Don't know what to do, timeline/tablet refuses to log location most days.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 09:19 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a LG G Pad F 7.0(LGLK430) running Android 5.0.1. I use it mainly for Torque Pro to monitor my Jeep using a bluetooth OBDII adapter. As a added benefit, I use location history and Google Rewards to earn money towards the Google Play store.

    It has pretty much always worked great, but starting December 18th 2020, my activity seemed to have stopped logging, except for a few days a month, and that's only b/c I will manually check in on my iPhone6. I can drive around all day and see my routes on my tablet under timeline, but the web timeline screen shows no activity, which means no surveys about where I have been.

    I have tried everything I have read on here and the web. My device IS selected as a device on the account for Location History. I have updated maps. I have cleared and reset the AGPS catalog. I have logged in and out of the device. I have deselected and re-selected the device in the Location History. I have even done a factory reset via settings. Yet while the tablet shows my route, there is never any "activity" like where I was or if I was driving/at work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Keep Apps running in the background

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 08:40 AM PDT

    I use a Lenovo TB-X 505F tablet to correct PDFs at my university and my browser keeps getting killed in the background so that I have to log in into the server every time I open my pdf app, edit them and tab back to the browser afterwards. I've tried chrome and Firefox, both have this issue. I've disabled battery saving in general and disabled battery optimization for both apps as well separately.

    Samsung (Android 10)'s dark mode dims down wallpaper

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 08:38 AM PDT

    I have a S20 plus and I realized that enabling dark mode dims down the wallpaper by a bit. I also found that I could turn off the setting in the dark mode options to disable applying it to the wallpaper; but I can't find it. It just has the option of scheduling dark mode and nothing else. It seems like people were able to switch it a year or so ago, but apparently not for me. Is there a way to find that option?

    [Galaxy Note 10+] Issues with wireless Power Sharing. Replaced coil and it still won't charge.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 08:10 AM PDT

    My phone (Galaxy Note 10+) stopped wireless charging devices like other phones and my galaxy watch several months ago. It would still recognize RFID tags but just wouldn't charge anything. I figured the charging coil in the phone must have gone bad size the back glass had also sustained damage some time ago.

    I finally got around to replacing the coil with an aftermarket coil that got great reviews on Amazon. (Couldn't find an OE part). The part appeared to be as high of quality as the OE and was even felt wrapped like the OE. I replaced the part and back glass with no issue.

    This did not appear to fix the problem and now there seams to be more issues.

    When I put the phone in wireless power share mode, I get a message that says, "You phone is busy right now. Wireless power sharing is turned off because your phone's using a lot of power."

    The phone also appears to be unresponsive to RFID tags like my work access card.

    My battery life also seams to be decreasing quicker than normal...although this can be me being paranoid.

    My guess is the coil I bought must is faulty/cheap/fake and is placing too high of a draw on the phone.

    Anyone got any ideas. I am not looking to spend a lot of money getting it fixed or buying a new phone.

    Any way to force my s20+ to use 5ghz?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 03:11 AM PDT

    Older versions of android had a setting to set a preferred band, but this device on 11 doesn't seem to?

    Irritatingly, the smart hub 2 router i use, doesn't allow band splitting. Any way around this? Is that setting just gone?

    Phone synced with deleted account

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 06:50 AM PDT

    TL;DR - a phone is synced with an account that was deleted by Google and cannot be restored so after a system reset it is unusable.

    I'll start from the very beginning so this is a long story. As you maybe know, Google ads aren't always appropriate. When my younger sibling was shown some inappropriate ads, I thought that setting age in his account can help (it didn't anyway). But because he is less than 14, Google said there must be parental control or the account will be deleted. I wanted to change the age to higher than 14 but you can do so only by sending Google your personal ID or credit card data. And verifying can take up to few days. So I thought that making parental control would be easier. I had to create a new account (because guess what - I couldn't set my age higher than 18 on existing account without all that credit card and ID crap and even if I previously never set it) and it even worked.

    At some point, it stopped. Why - I don't know. I never changed any settings. Family group existed, my account was the 'parent', I could see my brother's account in the family group - but he couldn't do anything. Whatever action he tried to do with his account, Google said that he needs to get code. But the code Family link gave wouldn't work. It would just say that there's an error, try later. You couldn't even delete the account from the phone and it became unusable.

    Then I made another mistake. I decided to remove parental control so that his account gets deleted. I believed that once the account is deleted, it would be removed from the phone automatically. But it didn't. Ok, I thought, I'll just make a factory reset. I shouldn't have done this because of that google feature that saves the synced account in order to prevent using stolen phones. Needless to say, it doesn't work because the account is deleted. After I try to use the account, it says

    'This account was recently deleted and may be recoverable. Click *Next* to attempt to restore this account.'

    And when I do click *Next*, it says

    'Couldn't sign you in. Google doesn't provide another way to sign in to this account.'

    I tried to recover the account from another device, it's all the same. The phone with all the issues is an older Huawei - Y5 (2019). All google apps worked fine before that.

    Have you ever had similar issues? Can this be solved somehow? Thank you in advance.

    I'm impatient and now my bluetooth earbuds aren't talking to each other

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 06:48 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active that I've had for a few years.

    I have 2 sets of bluetooth earbuds: those cheap $35 amazon ones and a pair of Raycon E25 Pro.

    The other day I was swapping out my headphones and setting them to charge. Sometimes, the amazon ones don't sit fully in the case and so turn back on.

    I typically turn off my earbuds by putting them in the case and leave bluetooth activated on my phone whenever I swap them. If they don't disconnect I'll just disable bluetooth and back on whenever the pair I'm switching to is in hand and turning on.

    This time, as the phone scanned, the Raycons popped on. The moment I tapped on the Raycons, it connected to the amazon pair.

    My screen froze. It's an older phone, it does that sometimes. I got frustrated. I tapped angrily. And then disconnected from Bluetooth and back on

    Now, I can only connect my Raycons by turning on the left ear first. If I try to connect via the right earbud, I only get call audio, no media. Whenever I try to change the slider, the slider resets itself.

    I've tried everything I can think of:

    Restarting the phone "Forgetting" both devices Restarting after forgetting both devices Connecting to my Echo dot Forgetting everything multiple times, then restarting

    I'm running out of combinations, guys! Please send help!

    Help me sort out this confusion: Are Samsung phones sold in Taiwan Snapdragon or Exynos.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 06:46 AM PDT

    I've spoken to multiple sellers here who have all told me different things. I want to know if, or what models, are Snapdragon (SD) and which are Exynos in the Taiwan market.

    What I've heard.

    1. They're all SD

    2. Only the plus and ultra models are SD

    3. Only models prior to the S9 and Note 9 are SD

    Which is correct, of any?

    Thanks.
