    Android Questions: Just updated my Samsung Galaxy S10+'s OneUI, and Secure Folder changed from 25 apps a page to only 12


    Just updated my Samsung Galaxy S10+'s OneUI, and Secure Folder changed from 25 apps a page to only 12

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 04:52 AM PDT

    Not sure if carrier is relevant to Samsung's OneUI version distribution but in case it is I'm in Vivo, a Brazilian carrier. And just to reiterate this is a Galaxy S10+.

    Until now I could have up to 25 apps on each Secure Folder page. Just updated OneUI and now it's down to 12 apps on each page. I had all my social media, texting, banking and credit card apps on my first page along with gallery and camera.

    Is there any way at all to go back to 25 apps? Or maybe folders? I've looked for both under Customize and Settings.


    The question ends above but just in case you're wondering why I need everything to be in the Secure Folder, and in case you're about to suggest I take it all out of it...

    I live in a really dangerous city, and I only started putting most of my apps and content in the Secure Folder after I took a wrong turn, entered a favela controlled by a drug lord, and was almost murdered upon inspection of my phone because they suspected I was gay judging by a few pics in my gallery.

    They were looking for any signs that I might be working for the rival gang and instead saw Zelda Breath of the Wind's Link disguised as a Gerudo, i.e. a man/boy/twink in women's clothes. Still would have died right then and there if they didn't believe me when I said I wasn't gay, which was a big fat lie that I was terrified they were going to see through. 😭 So that's why everything, including video game screenshots and memes, everything goes in the Secure Folder now.

    Someone signed in their device with my mother's account. I can see it in Find My Device and have the option to erase it. Will they know it was me?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:29 AM PDT

    My young brother knows my mom's Google password and he shared it with another (older) kid cause that's what kids do, right?

    The thing is that account has passwords, work emails, important emails, Google Photos, Google Drive. I already disconnected the device, but I can still see it in Find My Device. It's also possible that some things are still stored in that device, right? Like emails and stuff.

    I want to erase it to be completely sure. I know the kid isn't a techy person, so he wouldn't suspect his device was erased with Find My Device unless the phone tells him so. He comes from a... troubled... family and we don't want to have problems with them, just make sure my mother's privacy is respected.

    Would it be safe to hit the "Erase" button?

    Thanks!

    Group text help please

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 12:11 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! I'm having an android/iPhone issue with group text and I'm really hoping someone can help! I'm terrible with tech and even worse at talking about it so please forgive my ignorance! My husband and I have iPhones, our friends (another couple) have android phones. When we first met, one of the android users accidentally entered my husbands phone number in her contacts with an incorrect area code, just off by one number. She sent a group text that included the four of us (well, the wrong number) and when we realized she accidentally included a stranger, she tried to correct the number and send the text again (this time all of the phone numbers are correct) and the group text sent again to the wrong number. It's like her phone knew my husband as that wrong number and will never forget it. She has tried resetting her phone, making a new contact, making a new chat, having someone else start the chat, but anytime she replies to our (correct) group chat, her response goes to the old chat with the incorrect number. It's maddening! This has gone on for years and we have tried everything we can think of! Any ideas? Thanks so much!!

    Huge 100gb of "others" in storage

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 11:30 AM PDT

    so my little sister has a redmi 9 phone and recently she's been complaining about the lack of storage on it. I gave it a look and the phone is 98% full. mind you its a 128gb phone, I tried looking at the storage and it showed the apps,images, videos..etc all had normal space consumption. but the "other" was a huge 100gb, I tried cleaning the cache both from the clean up and manually and I tried digging around to find huge files but I couldn't find anything. i tried connecting it to my laptop but it would show that the phone was empty.
    any idea on how to find the "others" that are taking up the space?

    thanks in advance

    Notification sound identification problem

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 12:11 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    In my former phone (asus zenfone 4 pro) I got a very nice notification sound used for IMs. Unfortunately It wasn't transfered and in my current phone (s10) don't have it anymore nor I remember the name. Recently by an accident found large recorded video file that must have been made accidentaly in my pocket and recorded message coming :-) So I've managed to extract that sound - maybe somebody recognizes it and help me find clean version? :)

    Unknown notification sound

    Spoof Older Version of Android for Specific Apps?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:42 AM PDT

    My S10+ updated to Android 11 and the chat heads in Facebook Messenger got replaced by the new Bubbles feature. I much preferred the old chat heads and would like to keep using them. I checked on an older device and chat heads are still present in the newest app when you're on an older version, but there's no option to switch to using them in Android 11. Is there any way to make Messenger think that I'm on an older version of Android so it uses the display-over-app chat heads instead of the Bubbles API? Thank you!

    Can't recover my Google account

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:30 AM PDT

    I reset my device and lost access to one of my Google accounts. I don't remember any passwords I used for it except one and it isn't working. A recovery email, number or question wasn't set up. I'm in the same location and have the same device but I can't find any other way to recover my account. Is there a solution to this or have I lost my account for good?

    How to add apps into the APP ICON BADGES list for the notifications with NUMBERS?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:59 AM PDT

    Mainly the stock apps (Phone, Message, FB, WA ...) and few other user apps showing up in APP ICON BADGES when selected NUMBERS for the notifications, when selected DOTS though then all the apps do show up regardless. But, I would like it to have the numbers for the notifications ... is there a way to do that?

    Thank you

    LG V60 5G ThinQ just got a software update about a month ago. Ever since then it's randomly restarted on its own (better description in text) and messed with storage. Any help appreciated because it's messed with some important things.

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:54 AM PDT

    I woke up one morning about a month ago and my phone told me it needed a software update. Being the responsible phone owner that I am, I immediately updated it. How does it repay me? It starts randomly restarting itself. No rhyme or reason to it. It's done it during phone calls, while using various apps, while sitting there not being used. And it doesn't go through the shutdown sequence, just goes black and then goes into the end of the little opening sequence - not even the full sequence. As such, I lose whatever I'm working on in the app or the phone call and all of my notifications.

    I'm on AT&T and asked at the local store if they had any ideas. They told me to get a new SD card because almost every time it restarts, it unmounts my SD card. They thought it was corruption or something in the SD card. So I did. I painstaking moved everything onto my phone and then back to the new SD card. No dice, still does it.

    The most recent restart has taken my photos and completely mixed them up. I have super old ones that say they were taken yesterday (the day of the last restart), so brought to the top of my camera gallery and they're not even all together. I have old Disney photos from one trip that are interspersed with photos I took weeks after at work. It's really annoying and I have no idea how to fix it, if I can.

    I had an app that I'd downloaded a few days before the update so I decided to delete it to see if it helped. No dice. Otherwise, I haven't added any new apps in ages.

    My storage isn't exceptionally full. I think it's about 60% full for both internal and SD card. I regularly go through and do smart cleaning.

    Sometimes it restarts several times a day. Sometimes it waits a few days to restart. There are no other software updates available.

    I can't plug it into the computer to do anything because the charging port decided one day to just randomly stop working. I use wireless charging now.

    Please help fix this annoying problem!

    Last ditch efforts to remedy the media playback stopping errors on Android 9 phone

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:52 AM PDT

    So I am having problems now again despite a new Android phone (BV 9800 Pro,before that Sony Xperia XZ).

    I read a Lot about other Users of Android having the Same Problems: all Media Apps Like spotify stop randomly. Already did all the described battery deoptimization, No Change.

    So now i feel it light be the Android Version. Mine is 9 now and cannot be automatically updated. I thought about rooting/jailbreaking the Phone - in your educated guess,would that be a possible game Changer? Is IT very hard to do? Can i destroy my Phone Like that? Any other Things i best know?

    Thanks dearly for any help

    Annoying Startup Notification Sound on Galaxy A40 (Android 11)

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 05:02 AM PDT

    For some reason, my Samsung Galaxy A40 produces a notification sound upon startup. Not when I unlock my phone or display, but right after turning the phone on.

    I used to be able to remedy this by simply switching a specific setting in "System UI" to mute. But since Android 11, System UI seems to be gone.

    Does anyone have the same problem and / or an idea on how to fix it? All I want is for my phone not to make that sound whenever I'm turning it on, and I really don't want to have to set it to mute every time I turn it off.

    Is it possible to switch back to FDE (full disk encryption) instead of FBE on current Android devices?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:24 AM PDT

    Is it possible to do this on devices launched with Android 9+ (using FBE by default) by modifying the userdata entry in fstab or similar, or have the current ROMs / kernels lost support to boot with this type of encryption? Are there any successful cases? I ask this because FBE is a nuisance for anyone who likes to modify their device. You need to format the userdata every time you change the ROM, consequently also losing the internal storage, different from how it was in FDE that just wiping data was enough. I have also had many problems with the device random not being able to unlock the userdata and forcing me to format it, which never happened when I had a device with FDE. Any help or information is welcome, thank you!

    Why are Duel Sim phones so much cheaper?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2021 02:49 PM PDT

    I want to buy a new phone and looking at the cost of buying outright v monthly contract. Looking on eBay I have noticed lots of "new" listings of duel SIM models of phones for a lot cheaper than the non duel SIM versions. It's the same with nearly all brands I searched for.
    Why is this? Surely a duel SIM card is only a benefit ? Many thanks!

    LG K41s won't let me move apps to the SD card

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 07:06 AM PDT

    This phone only has 32gbs of internal storage and half of it is already being used by the system.

    I've got an 8gb SD card but when I go into an app's storage information page, there's simply no option to move to SD.

    This seems like a ridiculous LG problem. I can't format the SD card as internal storage through the settings, it only lets me format it as external which I assume is how it's being treated by the system already.

    Is ADB really the only option? Because then I might as well wait until I have a larger SD card.

    Question : Make Chrome shortcut in app draw, not home screen?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:17 AM PDT

    Hello everybody ~

    I followed these steps, I'm able to create the shortcut to home screen fine, but is there a way to make a Chrome shortcut that is placed in my app draw?

    Thanks.

    Launch "Chrome" app.

    Open the website or web page you want to pin to your home screen.

    Tap the menu icon (3 dots in upper right-hand corner) and tap Add to homescreen.

    You'll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen.
