    Android Questions: Messanges / Hangouts - Missing Text Input Window

    Android Questions: Messanges / Hangouts - Missing Text Input Window


    Messanges / Hangouts - Missing Text Input Window

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:26 PM PDT

    Not sure if this is a wide spread issue or not, but when I woke up this morning I noticed that my text input box at the bottom of an SMS/Hangouts thread is now missing on my Android device (Pixel 2).

    When I got my my PC I could also see that the same issue is occurring in Google Hangouts as well. Is this happen to anyone else or has anyone else experienced this type of issue?

    Yesterday, I received an email and there was an attachment and it doesn’t look malicious but I’m afraid. Can the PDF contain a virus? I opened it on my phone.

    How do I disable this automatic-wipe of my phone if I guess the password wrong 10 times? I don't want this to ever happen. This is on Android P. On previous version of Android, I know there was a way to disable this "feature". Thank you

    Honor 10 media sounds issue

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:49 PM PDT

    I recently discovered that all my media sounds are not working whatsoever. Spotify, youtube, snapchat, etc. nothing seems to work. My loud speaker works fine when I'm in a call and the mic does too but the ear speaker doesn't work and the person can't hear me either. Only on speaker can they hear me and I can hear them. I'm assuming this is a software issue since the loud speaker and mic work when in speaker mode and the media sounds are the only ones that don't work. Alarms and notifications work just fine. Media is normal through headphones also. How should I approach this problem is there something I can do?

    Audio Balance for Headphones Only

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:34 PM PDT

    Basically my headphones are broken and the left earbud is louder than the right one so I use the built in accessibility settings to fix it. But this means whenever I play audio through the phone's built in speakers, the audio is then imbalanced. Is there any way to get the balancer to only work on the headphones? I have a pixel 4a to be specific

    Seperate Work/School from Personal on A Samsung Tablet

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:15 PM PDT

    Hey everyone, I just got a Tab S7 which I want to use for school, to take notes and stuff like that and also obviously for personal use (streaming, maybe playing games...). I want to seperate school and private stuff.

    Something you should know is that my school can't control or see what's on my tablet, I just want to seperate school and private for myself and NOT because I have to hide the private things.

    The best option I found to have 2 "identities" or "seperate areas", was to use the secure folder. Thats the point where I need help:

    1. Is there a better option to do this than using secure folder?

    2. Assuming secure folder is the way to go, should I put the work stuff or the private stuff in the secure folder?

    I figured it'd be better to put school stuff in the secure folder since I only have a few apps for school (basically the MS-Office package, Samsung Notes and a few more), but I have 100+ apps for private use.

    Doing that I would have the secure folder that I can then just open when I need to do school stuff and for the rest I can use the "normal" area.

    I think it's clear, but just to clarify: First question is if secure folder is the best option, 2nd question is if I should put school stuff in secure folder or private stuff.

    I hope the text is understandable and someone can help me out and thanks in advance.

    *System*-wide volume issue (ie device's speaker **and** headphone-jack!), cannot figure out a fix :/

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:09 PM PDT

    tl;dr -- suddenly my speaker, and my 3.5mm headphone jack, are both acting as if I had changed the volume-dial down to 05% of normal, despite the fact it's set at 100% :/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Title sums it up really, this was not caused by an update (although that last update can kick rocks) or anything, just one afternoon last week I got a call and the volume was soooo faint I could hardly hear it from several feet away and I keep volume at max (when it's on, I use the swipe-down Notifications area to alternate from Sound//Vibrate//Silent, so I never actually touch the sound-adjuster as it's left on Max)

    Quickly found that no Settings were off, figured the unit's speaker went bad, but then thought to try headphones and they were just as muted, could hardly hear them either - but they did still barely work so - to this novice - that means "It's not hardware, it's software" (since the odds of my headphone jack, and the regular speaker, both suffering a partially-muting-defect simultaneously would be astronomically low..)

    I've tried the 'ole "turn it off/back on" but past that my understanding is my next step would be "hard reset" which erases my data (and I don't have this unit backed-up, it's a "de-googled" handset and no none of the de-googling was done recently the phone's been stable as can be for a month+ now!)

    Thanks a ton for any&all ideas, I hate the idea of giong to buy this same handset again & swap my data&service to it, especially when it realllllly seems to point to a software issue which should be easily remedied (right?) Again thanks for any help even guesses, I can / will post pics/readouts/etc as requested!

    (PS- Handset is an LG Journey, has been a great handset til this, my service via T-Mobile is spotty sometimes but "ok" I guess)

    Questions about using an old phone as a gps tracker.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:04 PM PDT

    I just got this shnazzy ebike and I'm currently hiding a cheap old phone in it and using find my device as a tracker incase it gets stolen. What I would like to do is have an alert if it moves from certain range. I don't think that's possible with Find My Device. Any suggestions of other apps/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Side note: Would be really cool if there is an app that can tell me if the bike/phone is being jostled at all. I feel like that one is a stretch but seems very possible.

    Searching for an app to change System boot animation

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    I have a rooted phone and a while ago i had an app that required root access, which enabled me to change animations when the phone was booting. There were many animations to select from and i then stuck to a super mario jumping over obstacles while loading text shown above him.

    Where can i find such an app to change boot animations ? most preferrably open source...

    Apps on Google store not being recognized and wont update.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:49 PM PDT

    (Samsung Galaxy S9) I deleted my OG google play account (that was just a former YouTube account) and made an actual account. Now when in Google Play store, any apps that aren't google/youtube aren't being recognized and won't update.

    I've already tried google scan, clearing data/cache for store and services, restarting, uninstalling google updates, etc.

    Anything I can do so I don't have to uninstall and reinstall my apps?

    Nokia lumia keyboard for password not available

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 09:00 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I have a nokia lumia 630 that hasn't been activated for like 4 years, containing data that matter really much to me. It works fine until i get to the keyboard for the password of the phone itself, and here i just can't enter any number because none appears.

    Does anyone have a solution in order to get back into the phone ? I can access to it from my computer but, given there is a password, i can't go into the data.

    Thanks for your help and have a good day :)

    Oneplus 8 Pro or S20 Ultra for the same price

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:34 PM PDT

    Sorry if this post might be a bit out of place but I'm torn between the Oneplus 8 Pro and the Galaxy s20 ultra. The recent price drops on both of them have brought them both to around the same price of 700$. For the same price which phone would be the overall winner in terms of screen quality and longevity. Camera is not the biggest concern for me. At this point would I just be deciding between OxygenOS or OneUI and a slightly better camera on the s20?

    Regularly getting a white popup on my Galaxy S7 (got video)

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:16 PM PDT

    For the past week or so I am regularly getting a strange white popup on my Samsung Galaxy S7. It lasts for about one second and then everything is normal again. It can happen on the home screen or while I am using an app like Chrome or Twitter. This is what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/P2sE6y3

    I can reproduce it somewhat reliably by turning off my internet for a while and then turning it on again. Then it will usually happen after a few seconds. But sometimes it also happens randomly while I am using the phone.

    I did install one app via APK recently. This app is not available on the Play Store of my region, so I had to get it via APK. I downloaded it from here: https://m.apkpure.com/kippo-the-dating-app-for-gamers/com.covalent.kippo/

    I consider the app itself trustworthy (it's also on the Play Store, just not for my region) and based on what I read online I thought that apkpure is also a safe site but now I am worried that I maybe got some kind of malware or something. But of course it could also be completely unrelated to this.

    Apart from this one app I have never installed anything external and all my apps and Android itself have the latest updates. The device maintenance check is also showing no problems at all.

    Is there any way for me to find out what is causing these popups? Maybe some kind of monitoring app that will log which app or process is active while this is happening? I definitely don't want to root my device though.

    Locked second hand phone - Need help

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 09:52 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    So I bought an old phone from where I work at a charity auction (unclaimed lost property sold to raise money for our nominated charity), it is a Samsung Galaxy J3. Naturally it was locked. I've reset it to wipe all data but it keeps asking me for the original owners google account password.

    I get this is a security feature to stop stolen phones being used so I'm guessing there is nothing I can do to get around this? Any advice or suggestions

    Thanks for any help all.

    Phone Stuck in Lockdown Mode after Update

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 08:47 AM PDT

    Anyone know why I can't put in my pin while in lockdown mode?

    Last night my LG Velvet updated part of its software and when I woke up my phone was in lockdown mode. It wouldn't have been a problem, but I can't for the life of me find a way to put in my password. The screen's just black until the AOD (always-on-display) kicks in and it shows the date and time. But the moment I tap/swipe the screen or hit the power button to put in my password the screen goes black again and I can't put in my password. Any ideas? Even a push in the right direction would be nice.

    Bluetooth wifi sharing question

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 04:40 AM PDT

    My phone, Moto g6, can connect to work's 5ghz wifi. Co-workers Moto e6 cannot.

    If I'm connected to the work wifi and we pair the phones via bluetooth will the data used default to the wifi connection? I have unlimited cellular network data, with an 8gb tethering/hotspot cap. He has a 1 or 2gb cellular data limit (older man, new to smartphones and frugal). I'm trying to save his data without using all my tethering.

    Or is there a better way?

    Rooted and unlocked Samsung S20 FE 5G

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 07:16 AM PDT

    Can find a demo model of a S20 FE 5G for about 50% off it's RRP apparently in great condition though not sure of the battery (apparently shop model). Biggest snag is that it is rooted and bootloader unlocked. What are the implications of this? I use banking apps and Google Pay pretty extensively, does Knox trip never to be untripped again?
