    Android Questions: Samsung is Limiting Wireless Fast Charging ONLY to Samsung Brand Wireless Chargers


    Samsung is Limiting Wireless Fast Charging ONLY to Samsung Brand Wireless Chargers

    Posted: 21 Apr 2021 04:36 PM PDT

    Recently, Samsung has restricted Fast Wireless Charging on it's phones to Samsung brand wireless chargers. This is a clear violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTC Act"), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulations, the 8 Basic Rights of the Consumer (The Right to Choose), and Deceptive Advertising since Samsung phone buyers were not explicitly told their phone may not work with aftermarket/3rd party wireless chargers.

    The signs that your device is limited is when you place it on a non-samsung brand wireless charger it will show fast Wireless charging then revert to normal charging and display a message "fast Wireless charging is not compatible with this charger"

    I believe if we can organize in numbers and send a petitioning statement to Samsung Electronics America at 85 Challenger Rd, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660 (Tel: +1 800-726-7864) to stop this oppressive and technologically regressive behavior we will move forward with a class action suit against them.

    Please show support!!

    Free car scanner = ads from hell...

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 09:04 AM PDT

    I was wondering if somebody could help me with this issue..

    A friend of mine gave me a free car scanner that you plug into the OBD port and it connects to your phone.. problem is the thing never connects unless I unpair and repair it which defeats the purpose of use so I uninstalled the app and removed the connector for my car...

    So I noticed right after I installed the app I was getting ads loaded up in Chrome throughout the day I'm talking in the numbers of 40 tabs opened in Chrome without me doing anything.

    I uninstalled the app and the ads are still opening in Chrome how do I get this to stop I don't know what this app did to my phone....

    The app in question is on the play store under the name "zus - #1 odb reader."

    I'd really rather not factory restore my phone just because of the stupid app lose everything.... Ugh

    SD card as internal storage

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 08:27 AM PDT

    I am really trying to get an sd card to be my internal storage for my phone because there is no space on my phone, I have look at articles everywhere but when I follow their steps and go to SD Card Settings all I see is the space on it, Eject, and Format, and no Format as Internal or Format as External, it automatically does external. I am using a LG Aristo 4+ on Android 9. Thanks for any sort of help!

    Why have my apps logged out, and I get emails saying there has been a log-in from a new device when I log back in?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 08:52 AM PDT

    Hi all

    As the title says, my phone has been a bit weird lately. Quite a few of my apps, including my banking app, have logged out. When I have logged back in on the same phone, I've gotten an e-mail or app notification notifying me that there has been a log in from a new device. But, that's not right, because I'm using the same phone.

    I haven't purchased a new phone, and as far as I'm aware, haven't changed anything on my phone. Does anyone have any idea what couldnhace caused this?

    Using a Galaxy Z Fold 2.

    Thanks!

    Poco X3 NFC voice call glitch during gaming

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 08:34 AM PDT

    I have the poco x3 nfc global version for over a month now, currently on the Miui Global 12.0.8.

    And recently i ran into a certain issue. When i start a game (LOL mobile in this case, but looks like it could happen to any other game [don't really know, just imagining]) and i'm in a voice call on Discord or Whatsapp (happened with the both of them), there's a moment when the screen turns dark, then the phones lock itself and the image of the lock screen gets out of resolution. It takes several seconds to become unlockable and when it does the game seems to appear fine, but after several seconds it starts again, the only way to get out of this loop is to shut down the game when it reappears after the glitch and opening it again.

    I tried to replicate the problem yesterday by joining a discord voice call and playing a match, but it didn't happened again, which leaves me thinking that must be happening only when i have another person on the voice call.

    Searching on reddit i've encountered some posts regarding the similar issues:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/l8w0dg/problem_in_running_discord_on_poco_x3_nfc/

    https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/k0ywfr/discord_voice_doesnt_work_on_xiaomi_x3_poco_nfc/

    https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/j1pfjn/poco_x3_nfc_discord_vc_bug/

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/jte08p/poco_x3_miui_12_freezes_when_joining_a_microsoft/

    Although some of them states that using the Open SL ES option in the discord settings (which i still have to test) solves the issue, i'm starting this thread because, since i ran into the same trouble on Whatsapp and found a post about a similar issue with Microsoft Teams, looks like a problem regarding voice calling as a whole.

    With all that said, anyone has some ideas about what could be? Thanks a lot to anyone reading until now!

    Tldr: Encountered some bizarre glitchs whenever i'm gaming with a voice call on, found posts regarding the issue on discord but looks like it's broader than just this app. Did some testings and still need to do more. I'm open to suggestions.

    Better than otterbox?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 11:29 AM PDT

    Any case better than otterbox for ultimate protection? I'm in construction and go through about 4 - 5 OB cases a year. The belt clip part that latches to the phone always breaks. I also still end up breaking my screen 1-2 a year. Normally falls off ladders.

    How to turn off features?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 11:27 AM PDT

    I just got a new android phone, and can't remember how I turned a couple of things off on my old phone. New phone is a Moto G9 Play.

    First is the auto volume adjustment; it blows my ears off every morning when I get in my truck and the stereo has defaulted back to radio from bluetooth, and the phone turns bluetooth volume down so I have to turn it up on the stereo. I got this to stop on my last phone, but can't even find the setting on my new unit.

    Second, I "disabled" Google Assistant, but now it pops up ALL THE TIME asking me to turn it back on. How do I kill this, permanently?

    Blocking updates on Galaxy Tab S5E

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 11:14 AM PDT

    Hi. I have a Galaxy Tab S5E tablet and was wondering if it's possible to ensure that the system doesn't update unless I initiate it. I have an app that has been broken by Android 11 and it may not be patched for a while, so I'd like to postpone updating to Android 11 until that app is fixed.

    Thank you!

    Help me remember this phone

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    There was a startup phone company advertising on facebook a couple of years ago, and it was trying to get people to pre-order a "luxury" phone. I remember it had a hexagonal shape I believe, I know it had either the 845, or 855 processor, a 48mp camera sensor, maybe a sapphire crystal display, some other fancy stuff. It seemed as though it was almost already outdated and you had to message for the price and could pre-order and get it for 700-900 dollars, I believe. I wanted to see whatever came of this brand and phone but I cannot find anything about it. All that comes up is Vertu, and that is not the one I'm thinking of. Hopefully someone can help, because it's driving me crazy. Unless somehow I made the whole thing up in my head. Maybe I'm just going crazy.

    Just got an Android and will be needing help.

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    So I'm currently not in my home country and needed to purchase a new phone. This is really my first time having an Android as my primary phone and I don't know much about them so I will be having questions and updating this post with them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    These questions will pertain to the phone that I've just purchased which is the Xiamoi Redmi Note 10 128gb model.

    1. The country I'm in requires a exit code to dial back to my country. The issue is, to call my country phone numbers this exit code is needed, but text messages will not send if this exit code is there. In order to dial or text I must dial +1 followed by the phone number. But to call, I have to add the exit code '00444' first. How can I make it automatically put this country code when calling, but not use it during text messages?

    2. On my iPhone and the old android I have as a backup, I can slide my finger down which will allow me to get a search bar and this search bar will allow me to search my phones contents like contacts, apps, notes. How do I get this search bar on my new phone? I don't want a search bar to quick search Google or amythinf, just my phones contents.

    3. When installing apps, they always install to the 2nd screen. Is there a way to install all new apps on the first home screen instead of the second home tab and having to move them over?

    How can I use Chrome from Google Search?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    I honestly can't believe I have to ask this.

    When I use the bottom search, it opens links just fine, but when I try to copy the URL I can't. It has the options Find in page, Desktop site, and Translate, and below that it says "powered by Chrome," but it won't let me open the page in Chrome anymore to copy the URL.

    So what I have to do is exit, open Chrome itself, redo the search, and then I can open the page and copy the URL.

    Question: Is there any way to just open directly from the search bar into Chrome?

    Whatsapp making notification sounds even when everything is supposed to be silent after system update. Driving me insane

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 07:34 AM PDT

    After a system update last night i woke up today 1 hour earlier than i wanted to because of nonstop notification sounds from whatsapp. I set my phone to autoupdate at 5am and didnt touch anything. Whatsapp is making this annoying as hell alert. Its apparently only on group chats, but i have no such setting. Also, the keyboard feedback noise is significantly lower for no reason. Very cool update.

    Problem with camera and recording videos.

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 07:14 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung A9 2018 and recently I've been having this problem with videos recorded with the phone's camera. When I want to record videos the app closes. And after a restart it works again but after a short time only the audio of the recorded video will be played. Also, I can't send the video on messengers such as Telegram.

    Has anyone had this problem before? How can it be fixed?

    How to stop play store adding all new apps to homescreen. Action launcher

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 06:09 AM PDT

    it appears that google play recently changed there settings and now you can stop it from adding new apps to your home screen from the app setting. I've seen dozens of web pages explaining "you just click the 3 lines and find it in settings." well the 3 buttons dont exist and its not in the settings. Im using action launcher so when I "long hold on blank space on the home screen" I don't get the normal settings where apparently this setting is.

    So it is just impossible to stop with this action launcher now? its incredible how every app seems to get worse and worse with more updates....

    How to turn off vibration for Telegram?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 05:24 AM PDT

    Hey.

    Does anyone know how to prevent Telegram from using vibration? I turned it off in app settings and in phone settings. Moreover, I turned it off in app called App Ops. But still my phone vibrates when I'm using polls or selecting date in search.

    It happens on any version of Telegram. Currently I have 7.6.0 installed. Android 10 rooted.

    Deleting a custom notification setting in android messages

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 05:12 AM PDT

    I had set up a custom notification for somebody in Google messages. Said person is no longer important and I'd rather remove all traces of their name, but even though I have turned off the custom notification their name is still there in the app settings.

    I've cleared the cache and restarted, but the name persists.

    Is there any way to remove that entry completely?
