    Android Questions: I'm getting tired of Apple iPhones and I want to transition to Android. I have a few questions.


    I'm getting tired of Apple iPhones and I want to transition to Android. I have a few questions.

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    Hello! I've been using Apple iPhones ever since my dad bought me my first phone as a gift over 7 years ago, and I never thought of transitioning. I've always been satisfied with Apple phones, until recently. Being a Windows user I'm getting tired of the way they handle photos and music files, and I don't like that iPhones don't have 3.5mm audio jacks, among other annoyances.

    I'm thinking of transitioning to Android in the future, but I have a few questions before I do this.

    - What should I know before transitioning? Do Android phones have quirks that I should be aware of?

    - Do all Android phones have 3.5mm audio jacks, or are android phones also following the same trend as Apple by removing this audio jack?

    - Overall, is Android a reliable OS compared with iOS?

    EDIT: thanks to everyone for the helpful answers!

    Is it worth upgrading an iPhone 12 Pro to a OnePlus 9 Pro?

    Problem with the camera app - samsung A10s.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 12:11 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I have a samsung A10s (it's not that good, but I'm brazillian and eletronics are so expensive here) and days after a software update the camera app suddenly stopped. I don't think that is a hardware problem because i've installed other camera app and it works. The camera on other apps: facebook, whatsapp, teams... works fine too.

    I've already tried everything that people say on internet, even the hardreset. Nothing works. Have you ever experienced that??

    PS: Sorry for any english mistakes, I'm not a native.

    An ad for a app download on my phone

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 11:46 AM PDT

    I was playing an app game from playstite on my phone and this add called newsbreak downloaded onto my phone everything I was pressing the cancel button which idk of that was for the notification cause it needed downloading onto my phone.

    However this app was already preinstalled onto my phone so when I checked my virus scan app it says it was updated but in the play store it says it wasn't.

    Idk what I should do I went ahead and uninstalled the app and I'm scanning my phone now..

    I just dont know what else I should be doing?

    Way to Recover Data from Bricked Essential PH-1?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 11:19 AM PDT

    My PH1 locked itself after the update and it is telling me that it cannot load the android system.

    I am assuming this means that my essential PH-1 is bricked. But, is it possible to get my data back? I have lots of data/photos/videos on it which I did not back up using google photos.

    Is there any way to recover the files from my Essential PH-1?

    Fast charging backup battery slows right down

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 11:00 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in this sub might be able to give me a hand. I have a Samsung galaxy s20 plus and I've had it for just less than a year. I bought a third party backup battery/power bank at the same time and I've been using it off and on since then. However, recently the battery has stopped "fast charging" and now when I plug it in it will only "cable charge." Any suggestions of what I could do to bring up the speed? Fast charging is enabled on my phone.

    There a way on Android to not have to wait during customer service? Like get sound or vibrate when a Rep picks up?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 10:06 AM PDT

    Is there an app or setting where I don't have to be on hold when waiting for customer service Rep? I always have to put my earbuds and wait to hear someone. If I could just have like a notification like my screen turns on or get a vibration when someone talks that would be helpful.

    GPS stoped working after I disable google play services

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:58 AM PDT

    After I disabled google play services and play store, apps like Waze, Sygic, HERE WeGo and even Maps from google can't locate my position anymore using gps or wifi.
    I don't want google play services running at background draining a considerably part of my ram (only 2Gb), so I decided to disable it to improove the usage.

    I think there is something related to "find my location" option from google services app or some restriction imposed by google.
    How can I find a solution to this problem? Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?

    Cheers!

    School me on making an android tablet more kid-friendly

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:17 AM PDT

    Couple of things going on here. I replaced my 5 year old daughter's dying kindle fire with a lenovo tab M8 HD and took a few protective actions

    1. Amazon app store was installed with purchase PIN turned on, somehow she purchased a disgusting shovelware game from an in-game ad that was completely inappropriate for her age or anyone really. I got a refund from Amazon with no sweat. We removed Amazon app store & the apps installed from it. I'm not thrilled about this but we found alternatives for just about everything on play store.
    2. We have google family link set up where she can't install anything without permission but I wish I could uninstall play store completely to keep her focused on content she has installed instead of shopping around for new games for the hour or so she gets to play it each day.
    3. I've noticed some pretty inappropriate ads for more shovelware crap (think dress up with pregnant white trailer trash girls, I'm dead serious) coming through in games she's playing like barbie stuff or my little pony or something. These are free games without paid ad-free versions and I can't remove them without a battle. How can I control these? Pi-hole, something else? The games are fine but the ads are totally inappropriate.

    Files pushed to the phone using ADB are not recognized by some apps

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 08:17 AM PDT

    Not sure if this is a thing of my phone only, but whenever I push something to my phone using ADB, stuff like images or videos, some apps can't tell the files are there. For example, Google Photos or Instagram won't load the pictures even though I can see them in a File Manager. For the files to be discoverable I have to manually move them around between folders.

    Does anyone else have that issue? Is there something I could do to fix this?

    What qualities make for a better feeling jump in mobile games?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:44 AM PDT

    I'm curious what defines a good jump. I know details like a kick of of dust upon landing and/or when initially jumping depending on the "strength " of the characters jump can make a jump appear more dynamic. Does a static jump speed simulate control or is there more control in controlling jump velocity and / or height by holding the jump button? What are some thoughts and feeling on stretching during a jump animation? I'm investigating concepts to make my game more fun.

    I currently have a game on the google play store called Fungi Monkey. In said game the characters jump from one side to another avoiding enemies. I want to take some of the views and ideas discussed here and investigate what I can to to improve the feel of the jumps in game.

    Any way to change the colour of the label of your icons on home?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:20 AM PDT

    I chose a light coloured theme, but the icon labels stay stubbornly white, and they're really hard to read. The preview for the theme shows icon labels as black, so I'm not sure what the issue is... anyone know how to fix this issue? I've tried restarting and changing to high contrast visibility, which just shows an outline as opposed to change font colour 😭 thank you in advance!!

    How do I connect my Galaxy Watch 42mm to my A2 Core?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:19 AM PDT

    Hey! Long story short, I busted my S8 Plus screen, so now I have to wait till August for an upgrade. In the meantime, I have a spare A2 Core. It seems that the Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearable apps are incompatible with the A2 core. Was wandering if anyone had a workaround for this.

    I've already tried downloading the Wearable APK but that was of no help. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Samsung m21: bricked

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 06:21 AM PDT

    So have a Samsung m21.

    I decided to put to wrap on it. I flashed to wrap using Odin(AP only), but when I tried to get into recovery with volume up+power, I did nothing. So I used volume down +power to restart but then I think got got the timing wrong for entering recovery, so now it shows the logo and warning (picture 1).

    I tried every combination of the three buttons and only volume down+power did something; the screen turns off, then shows picture 2 and after pressing power or waiting a few seconds, goes back to picture 1. When I connect the phone to my computer, it doesn't detect it (no Windows sound).

    Right now battery is drained.

    How do I get it to boot Into system/recovery/download mode?

    Multiple email accounts + security

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:25 AM PDT

    I have 2 email accounts in my Gmail app and 2 email accounts in the Outlook app. Suppose I get a malicious email in one of my email accounts in Outlook and I end up with malware. Will my other account in Outlook be safe or will only the email account that received the email be affected? What about my Gmail accounts?

    I like to segregate my email accounts but I hate downloading 3rd party apps, especially for email. My logic is that I am safer with companies like Google and Microsoft because they have more resources to deal with security threats.

    USB-C HDMI Adapter Kills Internet?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:25 AM PDT

    Hi Folks,

    I'm trying to connect my OnePlus 7T to a TV so that I can use desktop mode to watch streaming services on my TV. I have 2 USBC 3.1 adapters and they connect fine... However both cause significant internet degradation both on WIFI and Mobile Data. Are there any settings to stop this? - I assume the phone is trying to share internet through the adapter (Or get internet through the adapter) and that's causing the issues.

    Any thoughts or any adapters that people know are working?

    Galaxy S10e still doesn't have Android 11 update?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:16 AM PDT

    Now I'm not sure if this is only with my phone, but every time I check for updates on the settings, there are no updates available.

    I went to SamMobile to check, and the Galaxy S10e SM-G970U does have the Android 11 firmware, multiple in fact

    I'm just not sure why my phone doesn't have any updates at all, matter of fact the security patch is the June 1 2020 version

    Should I wait? Or should I just use Odin to update my phone?

    How can I find my lost phone?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 01:10 AM PDT

    So I basically had my phone stolen near a buss stop almost a week ago, and since then I was unable to track it. I tried locating it with Googles Find My Phone features however it only had access to the last location ( & time) I had my phone with me. I have already reported all of it to the police and gave them the IMEI number, unfortunately I have yet to receive any info from them.

    More than a day ago, a friend of mine saw that my Viber was online for a brief minute. Just for reference I will mention that I have yet to lock the sim card that was in the phone (as I didnt use it often), and I was wondering if I can track the guy through that. I did try to call the phone by different means but it was unavailable, but given my Viber was online I am assuiming he reset my phone, re-installed viber and tried to run it with my SIM in it. So is there a possible way to track him with that bit of extra info.
