    Android Questions: What are reasons that you like Android over iPhone?


    What are reasons that you like Android over iPhone?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 12:45 AM PDT

    I am genuinely curious. I have used both Android and iOS (iPhone). I like both, but for different reasons. For me it's hard to just chose and stick with one. I know for sure that as far as accessibility goes iOS is better (especially the braille display support). What are reasons that you like Android over iPhone?

    A short guide I made that I hope helps someone. It is very basic and doesn't cover much besides installation, but I could have used this months ago. Thanks!

    Adblocking and VPN together (Adguard and Sentinel dVPN)

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 05:38 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit,

    So I have been a big fan of Adguard for 3 years since I discovered them, all my household devices are using premium version and it works flawlessly.

    I have been wanting to get a VPN for sometime and I've found Sentinel dVPN to be extremely quick and I like their decentralised network and open source code for complete transparency and protection.

    I am struggling to find a way to keep both the VPN on and Adguard to filter at the same. I am not rooted.

    I tried 2 things:

    I tried to switch Adguard to Https filtering using localhost, but the Sentinel VPN seems to bypass Adguard local host settings entirely. I set these to point WiFi proxy to 127.0.01 and 8080.

    My ISP is Virgin media in the UK and their router does not allow DNS changing, otherwise I could use Adguard's DNS settings to apply ad blocking at router level, and use Sentinel VPN at individual device level.

    Any help pointing me to right direction would greatly help.

    fastboot loop | Please help! | Without my knowledge!

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 07:34 AM PDT

    I had my phone hooked up to my computer where I was doing CPU overclocking and totally didn't think about the phone. All I know is that it discharged. I reset my computer a few times (because I was doing a CPU boost, I had to go into the bios to change some values) and then I look and the phone is in fastboot. I got scared. I tried booting it up but it didn't work. It is now in fastboot, plugged in to charge. The phone had orangefox and magisk v22 installed (the phone has no ramdisk, maybe this information will help).

    Did I lose my data?

    debugging was enabled on the phone because I was using the phone as a microphone for the computer

    P30 Pro screen damaged I think help

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I own a Huawei P30 Pro (pearl white eddition if that matters) and am having problems with the screen

    Basicly I woke up today and the left side of the screen was very white/discolored and flickering a lot. It was scary.

    But 20 minutes later, the flickering stopped and the colours came back like 98%, but as I use the phone the discoloration creeps back a little, around 5% just on the left side of the screen, but If I turn it on and off it goes back to 98% colour and the cycle continues.

    The weird part is when in sunlight, almost the entire left side turns white, and as soon as I go to a shadow it goes back to normal. Looks like it burns. Iv'e serched around, It's nothing to do with auto-brightnes and I don't know what happened to the phone, maybe I slept on it idk

    Help please.

    Xiaomi mi 10T 5G tether issue

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:16 AM PDT

    Hello.

    I have an issue where my phone hangs Task manager and Network properties when on 'USB Tether' on Windows 10.

    if the phone connected to a PC and no tether via USB it works fine, but when I tether via USB after a minute or two it hangs 'Task manager' and 'Network properties' the rest is working ok.

    I tried several USB ports and several USB cables, and different PC and the issue still persists.

    Sometimes my PC just auto restarts. without any warnings.

    Tethering with 'WiFi hotspot' works fine, I can use it but it's much slower than 'USB Tether'

    Thanks in Advance.

    CAF-based Project Treble ROMs?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:14 AM PDT

    Hello all, I have an obscure phone without a development scene, so GSIs are the only hope at a decent OS. Only Pie GSIs work, but the speaker never works and I haven't been able to solve that.

    Since it's a Qualcomm device, I thought I might have better luck with CAF-based roms. However it seems even the traditionally CAF based roms are built on Phh's AOSP base.

    Do any CAF-based Pie GSI's exists at all?

    Is there a way to install 2 versions of the same app?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:13 AM PDT

    So I'm looking to install 2 versions of the same app. One updated, one outdated. However if I install the updated version, It'll replace the outdated one and it'll be impossible to recover.

    Is there a way I could possibly have both installed at once?

    Android Passwords Issue

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 07:48 PM PDT

    I have a frustrating problem.

    Via Browser isn't allowing the Android popup to save passwords on my Pixel 3a XL running Android 11.

    Everything works fine for saving passwords on my Blu Vivo XI running Android 8.

    I've cleared cache and data, uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled Via Browser. I also cleared cache and data in Chrome, just in case. But the problem remains.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Scrub / wipe

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 08:14 AM PDT

    Long story short a coworker and I did something inappropriate. There was some communication on my company phone that can not be revealed. I will likely have to surrender the device in full working order on Monday. I believe they are going to try and recover information from the device.

    The device is a galaxy J7

    This is what I was thinking: 1-Encrypt phone and SD 2-Factory reset 3-disk digger to wipe free space

    Why isn't the Moto G7 Plus supported by Metro?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 07:35 AM PDT

    The phone is on a pretty good deal right now and I was wondering what the reason was for Metro not being listed among the supported carriers. Is it something arbitrary that I can get away with or will it be impossible to use? Usually phones that work with T-mobile are compatible with metro.

    https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g7-plus/p?skuId=523

    Scrolling down the page will bring you to "view all specifications" which opens a drop down menu. Under "carrier compatibility" it says that Metro isn't supported. There is a also a list under "connectivity" that shows the supported bands.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    I have been playing this game for a while now and it was running in a 16:9 aspect ratio, my phone is longer than 16:9 and there used to be black bars on top and bottom while playing the game and today I saw text in bottom with a white background saying " click here to stretch and fill " or something like that and curious me clicked it. Now the game only fills in the bottom and the top black bar is still there Now the problem is that some buttons in the game that were on the bottom have gone missing and yes I have filed a complaint to the police. So is there a way to have the game not stretch to the bottom. Any help will be appreciated and btw I'm on a samsung j6+

    Best sub-$210 phone with Band 1 network?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 03:07 AM PDT

    I've posted here before, and been recommended the OnePlus Nord N100. However, there's so many bad reviews of a bad processor, and I don't need the 90hz panel.
    I've heard recommendations to get an older flagship instead, but I can't find any reputable seller for the pixel 3 without (a significant amount of) bad reviews, under $210.
    What about the moto g power? The storage is slower(emmc) than the nord's, but is there anything else to know about it?

    I just want: Good idle battery(last a whole day when using minimally, like notepad/texts), 13mp camera or better, works in Japan(2100Mhz band 1 4g), and 32gb storage or better(if only 32, have sd capability).
    fingerprint sensor would be nice but not needed.

    Phones I've considered: Nord OP N100,Pixel 3, Moto G Power, Moto G Fast, Moto One Fusion.

    Controller bug

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 01:23 AM PDT

    So basically I have a xbox 360 wireless controller and there is a bug where I think it reads triggers inputs as right stick values (horizontal and vertical). And I watched a video where they said I need to root my phone then copy wired controller driver and rename to wireless, but firstly to unlock my phone I need to wipe all the data and then restore but don't wanna do it since it will take so much time to download everything again and secondly, I can't find that video that I watched so I don't even know where are those drivers. And also if I use Steam link there won't be those problems since it has their own drivers as I understand so maybe there is a program that fix it or other way to fix it anyone? My phone is Xiaomi POCO M3, 12.0.3 MIUI and Android 10, thanks

    Downloaded files containing emojis become write protected, disapear from the file explorer and can't be deleted.

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 05:38 PM PDT

    This is for a 5.0.2 Samsung Galaxy tablet.

    Anyway, for example, this video:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmg-PZ_1shM downloaded via https://m.youtubepp.com/watch?v=Wmg-PZ_1shM will disapear.

    I can't see it despite having view hidden files enabled but can tell it's taking up space. I can see it via my Windows PC but can't delete it cause it says it's write protected. I tried using the Root Explorer app but it didn't work probably cause the thing isn't rooted. It's not exactly mine to root either.

    Suggestions?

    I'm looking for a good keyboard app

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 04:19 PM PDT

    I would like any suggestions on a keyboard app that has good text prediction. Despite the many flaws of the default Android keyboard, its text prediction annoys me most.

    Making android screen "bigger" on shared screen

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 01:01 AM PDT

    Hope the title makes sense. I'm hoping to share my screen via chromecast. The issue is the small amount of screen used on the TV. Is there any way to manually zoom or tweek the ratio? I'm trying to do a presentation on how to use an app from my chromecast phone.
