    Android Questions: Risk of malware?


    Risk of malware?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 06:38 AM PDT

    I mistakenly clicked on of those spam SMS links (impersonating DHL/Amazon) and got redirected to some site but I didn't give out any information. I was told that it was one of those spam SMS's that then sends the same SMS to one's contacts. I promptly ran malware/virus scans and found nothing. Just to err on the safe side, I did not access any sensitive information like online banking and decided to factory reset my phone and format my SD card. Should it be relatively safe to use my phone for online banking and the such again? What is the risk of there still being some hidden malware?

    Edit: I had recently updated my software.

    Any way to force an app into 16:9? S20.

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 11:35 AM PDT

    So I fly a DJI Mavic Pro Drone, and the clamp on the controller actually obstruct some camera controls which would be mitigated if the app ran in a less wide aspect ratio. Is there any official way to do this? I heard something about root, but I don't want to tamper with my phone that much.

    OnePlus 5T: Issues with TWRP and upgrading to Android 10

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 08:59 AM PDT

    Can't install Instagram on OPPO A15

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 10:51 AM PDT

    I cleared the data and the cache from playstore and it still doesn't work. It says that the device is not compatible with the item. I have no idea why this is happening, the phone was bought today.

    Any guesses as to what this display issue may be?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    I have an aftermarket Android tablet in my car. Last summer, it would flicker every once in a while. Then it got a little more frequent, as seen in this video (sorry about the dust). Then the flickering got really frequent, followed by periods of the screen going fully black; then it went mostly black with occasional glimpses of the display but it's been fully blacked out for several months now.

    I've kept it installed because the touch screen still works and I can use some of the basic functions if I remember where to tap; plus, it has bluetooth for phone calls which the stock unit lacked.

    So far I ordered and swapped a new display cable from the manufacturer but this didn't appear to do anything. Any suggestions of what this may be, so when I take it in to somebody (this is clearly above my expertise now) they might find the issue faster?

I just need to get what's on the pixel to be on the moto without doing factory reset

    Google play service for AR unsupported on Infinix Note 8i x683

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    Hello I am using an Infinix note 8i android device, which is the upgraded version of Infinix note 7 and infinix note 6 which are both supported by ARCore, while my device which is newer and uses a better GPU and better CPU and has and overall better camera and has same accelerator and gyroscope sensors as the inifinx note 7 isn't supported.

    So is there any way to install it on my device? I tried downloading the APK and installing it but then whenever I try any AR app ot crashes.

    I need it as I am working on an AR project and need to test it on my device to see if the application works correctly.

    So is there any method to actually get the AR working? Even if rooting is needed I have no problem doing that as long as it will solve the problem. Thank you for your time.

    How to pick a preferred network type?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 12:57 PM PDT

    I've had Resurrection Remix installed on my phone for about a month now, and so far I'm loving it!

    Except for one thing... making/receiving calls doesn't always work (doesn't even ring, and voicemail pops up later), and texts often take a while to send.

    I'm on a OnePlus 5 with T-Mobile, and the number of preferred network types is overwhelming:
    https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DefinitiveYellowishBarnswallow-size_restricted.gif

    I tried looking for things like which of T-Mobile's bands my phone supports so maybe I could see what network types to choose, but I don't know how use it. Any tips/pointers would definitely be appreciated :)

    DS4 Controller headphone sound output when connected thru bluetooth

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 08:41 AM PDT

    Hi gooday everyone!

    I would like to know if its possible to put the sound output to the PS4 controller (built in audio jack) instead of the phone output once its connected to through Bluetooth.

    I was able to connected it the wireless controller to my android phone but I don't see an option to redirect the output sound of the phone to the Wireless controller.

    I appreciate all the help.

    If your computer's files were treated the same as your phone would you consider it acceptable?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 07:41 PM PDT

    "you do not have permission to access this folder"

    And its YOUR DATA!

    Imagine if your windows computer told you you didnt have permission to delete your own data

    Is there a smartphone that can keep all applications in the background without killing them?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 11:35 AM PDT

    Smartphones now have crazy sizes of RAM and quite large batteries, but there is still no way to keep all of them open. (But there are thousands of power saving modes)

    This is wildly infuriating, because applications that do not work in the background do not deliver notifications and people can miss important information.

    Why do manufacturers decide for me how to manage my RAM and battery?

    Removing a Google account from device

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I have a Pixel 2XL and under the about phone section, I realised that I have an old unused email attached to the device. If I were to remove that google account from the device and add the new one, what data will be removed? Would it just be data of anything done with that specific Gmail account or more than that? Thank you.

    New number - old one stored in the sim?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 04:46 AM PDT

    I consider myself well versed in the android side of things, but for the life of me i cannot sort this issue out.

    Changed networks & new phone a while ago and wanted to keep my old number. My new network sent me a new sim to use with the new phone to use while the PUK went through. This all went well and everything changed over.

    However, the phone still thinks i have the new number and continues to try and autofill everthing with the new sims number. This is not an auto-fill issue with saved data.. More a sim issue.

    If i look in the about phone section it lists the number that came with the phone and not the transferd number which i assume is where this is coming from. Any ideas how to change this field?

    No Connection Bug makes Samsung Health Meditation useless

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 06:44 AM PDT

    This bug is getting absolutely ridiculous. Since the recent UI update, everything on my Note 10+ loses connection at random. This includes YouTube, Spotify, Chrome, etc. The worst offender may be when it loses connection on Samsung Health's Calm integration. For those who haven't used it, it is a section inside Samsung Health that offers meditation lessons and sleep help. It is a great program. However, it's rendered essentially useless due to the fact that 2-3 times within a 10 minute session it loses connection, pulling you out of the meditation. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Why can some apps not be wishlisted in Play Store?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 12:11 AM PDT

    The apps in question have never been installed before. I see the option to wishlist on some apps, but it's missing on others.

    Trying to disable guest user on Oneplus 6

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 04:03 AM PDT

    I'm trying to disable the guest user on my phone, running android 10 and non-rooted, using ADB. I have been attempting this by using the command: adb shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0. However, when I type it in nothing happens. Adb does pick up my device and once entering the command, I get no message or any sort of output.
