    Android Questions: I just got a Samsung Galaxy S20, however when I screenshot and go to crop the picture, it crops just so a little bit of the edges are still visible (it doesn't let me crop perfectly) when I drag it down it automatically jumps further to what I wanted. Anyone know how I can fix this ?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S20, the screen timeout is set to 2 mins however the screen doesn't turn off at all unless I do it manually, how can I fix this?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 05:26 AM PDT

    I have reset the phone and yesterday even had a software update which didn't fix the problem. If I put on a YouTube video before I sleep, I wake up and the screen is still on, I never had this problem before until now

    Sound lowering that doesn't go away until another notification is received (spotify seemingly caused by outlook)

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 06:11 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Recently I've started having a weird issue where when I'm playing music on Spotify, if I receive a notification from Outlook, the sound ducking/quieting caused by the notification does not normalize again until ANOTHER outlook notification is received. So, basically the sound volume is quieted indefinitely until another notification is received. It seems like this is only happening with outlook notifications-- text messages, social media's, and other email apps all do not cause this problem.

    I have tried closing outlook when it happens, but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

    The volume level that the music is playing at on the phone (adjusted by the side button) also does not change and stays at the same level.

    My phone is a galaxy s10+ and I am running Android version 11. I haven't found any other people experiencing this issue, so thanks for any of your time you spend reading or helping! <3

    Any way to get rid of the "Turn on location service" popup?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 06:02 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm on Android 10 (Motorola G9+) and I don't want to scan Wi-Fi and Bluetooth nearby to get better location so I've turned that off. However, certain apps now bug me every time I open them that I should opt in for that to get better experience. I looked into settings but can't find any place to disable this popup (see the image under the link below). Am I missing something or do I have to just live with it? Google search didn't help me either but I might have googled badly. Thanks for any help.

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 11:47 AM PDT

    So my memory card is accessible in pc, copies files from it to the pc. Can't access it in phones... Any android! So, I think it got corrupted and try to format it after a backup. Go to command prompts... 'Cmdchk /f /r' that thing. Shows it is "write protected" and cant be formatted. I try diskpart and type clear and it shows i/o error. I created the regedit folder of those somethingpolicies and the value to 0, didnt help. It doesnt format saying its write protected. I even tried one other thing... That cmd 'attributes disk part readonly' ... No use. Any other way? Point me there please.

    FRP bypass samsung galaxy s9

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    so i have a Samsung galaxy s9 that i tried factory resetting, however ive bumped into a fairly common problem which is that i do not know the original gmail account it was linked up with nor the pin. because of this (as you probably already know) i cannot use this phone and i cant really afford to buy a new phone rn so this is all i have to work with.

    I've done the obvious stuff of looking on youtube, however all i seem to be able to find is very dodgy or out of date methods.

    if anyone knows of any links or software i can use to bypass FRP i would be forever in your debt.

    How to route audio output to Pioneer car radio instead of external phone speaker?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 08:19 AM PDT

    I'm having an issue which could be a few different culprits that I'm trying to narrow down. I have a new Samsung s20fe running Android 11 and One UI 3.1, and a new Pioneer car radio (digital media receiver MVH-s622bs) that interfaces with the phone via "Pioneer Smart Sync" app.

    The basic idea is that you connect your phone to the radio by USB or Bluetooth, and via the app, the radio and phone become interactive as one unit, allowing the user to send/receive calls, play music via internal storage mp3s, and audio applications such as spotify, directly on the phone and the info/sound are seen/heard on the Pioneer device. In theory it should be a seamless infotainment experience while your phone plays music sent to your radio, and will lower the music while your nav app tells you to turn left heard clearly through your car sound system, then raises the music, then pauses the music while you take a hands-free call via your sound system and car microphone, etc.

    My issue is that bluetooth works fine for all aforementioned features but since the audio quality is noticeably flat and muddy, I prefer to use USB. But when I use USB, the only sound that plays from the head unit is FM radio. Any other audio source plays through the phone speakers, such as mp3s, spotify, nav apps, and phone call audio, almost like I don't have it plugged in at all. That initially led me to believe that there is nothing but a "charging" connection taking place, but that is not the case since music from my phone is displayed on the radio LCD, such as title and artist. And when using volume controls via app, it controls the volume on the head unit. And I can go to the next song by pressing the appropriate button on the head unit which makes the phone switch to the next song. So it's getting data and all app features are communicating, just the audio is routed to my phone speaker instead of to the receiver.

    Am I missing something obvious? Is there some option in Android 11 that routes audio to the external speaker by default? Can it be changed? In all of my google searches, it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue. It could very well be the app, but I've read all the reviews and no one mentions this issue. And in the app there is no option to switch/route audio, so the assumption is that it's supposed to usurp all audio-related activities when plugged in.

    Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

    I can't swipe down my status bar from the top of my screen all of a sudden.

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 07:05 AM PDT

    I have a Galaxy Note 8, and starting just yesterday, I can't swipe down my status bar/notification bar from the top of my screen anymore. If I open an app and turn my phone into landscape mode, I can swipe it down from the long side of the phone just fine. But in portrait position, the status bar at the top is completely unresponsive now.

    I've tried restarting, powering down and back on again, to no avail. I'm trying to explore all of my options and hear some advice before I try a full factory reset.

    Is there a browser or browser extension that allows to switch between profiles depending on a PIN-code

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 06:43 AM PDT

    There's a very nice Telegram fork which allows to erase predefined chats/contacts depending on which PIN you've entered, I wonder if there are any browser or an extension which has the same or similar mechanics.

    Is there anyway to hide pictures in Google photos without archiving them and still be backed up in the cloud?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 06:10 AM PDT

    I use Google Pixel 3 XL and all my photos directly backed up in the Google photos. It's really convenient and I like it. But some times there are some personal photos which I want to backup but don't want it show up in the Google photos app. I tried Archiving photos but the Archive is not password protected so anybody can look at the photos.

    TLDR; I want my photos to be backed up in Google photos app but don't want to show up in gallery.. or want a password protected archive.

    0MB internal storage due to encryption Problem

    Posted: 17 Mar 2021 10:35 PM PDT

    Had a custom Android 11 rom (had because it broke later)

    I messed up my encryption (including at one point reflashing the stock rom, which is notorious for encryption issues)

    Now, TWRP shows my internal storage as 0MB. (the actual storage is still there behind this error, verified by imaging mmcblk0.img on my PC)

    TWRP can decrypt the data fine when I enter the password, but I get an error of "Unable to mount storage"

    I tested copying a file from my USB otg to the storage, and got this:

    Updating partition details...

    ...done

    Unable to mount storage

    Data successfully decrypted, new block device: 'dev/block/dm-0'

    Updating partition details...

    ...done

    Unable to mount storage

    E:Cannot decrypt adopted storage because /data will not mount

    Full SELinux support is present.

    Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

    MTP Enabled

    cp "usb_otg/test.zip" "/sdcard" process ended with ERROR: 1

    I then tested TWRP's "repair file system" feature on Data:

    Repairing Data using e2fsck...

    sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/dm-0 process ended with ERROR: 8

    Unable to repair Data.

    Is there any method I can use to restore this important data? I have tried many solutions already. Unfortunately, some others that involve more low-level crypto footer stuff are too complicated for me to understand.. (not a programmer, you know)

    Phone is Redmi Note 7 (lavender)

    Cricket Ovation phone going crazy

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 12:35 AM PDT

    Wassup guys, so recently I was gifted a cricket Ovation phone and one day out of nowhere the phone restarted kinda like when an update is starting. The phone has been on a continuous cycles of "Powered by Android" loop. I've tried to factory reset AND safe mode but the problem is the phone keeps turning on and off for any of the commands to kick in. I plugged it to my PC and the USB keep switching from connected to disconnected. It's driving me crazy feeling like nothing works. Anyone know what might be causing this and/or a possible fix?

    Please and thank you
