    Google dropped support for my Pixel 2. How long can I safely use it before lack of security updates causes major concerns?

    I know I could switch it to LineageOS to keep using it, just wondering on what kind of timetable should I be looking for that?

    Truepick's App Removed from Play Store?

    Posted: 09 May 2021 10:06 PM PDT

    Hey guys! Is it only me or you guys also can't see the application called Truepick's & Truepick's Prime (Wallpaper App) in Play Store anymore? I had paid for the prime version of the app, but now the app just vanished. I cannot connect with the dev too. Can anyone confirm that is it removed or not?

    YouTube clock alarm stops playing after 30 seconds

    Posted: 10 May 2021 09:48 AM PDT

    I have a Pixel 3 and use the Clock app for my alarms. I have it set to play from a YouTube Music playlist and that used to work fine, but a few days ago it started to only play 30 seconds of a song and then pause, which then causes the Clock to switch to a default beeping alarm.

    Does anyone know how to fix that? I still have YT Premium, and the Spotify alarm doesn't pause itself (though I'd prefer not to use that since it turns the repeat button on.) I've also tried clearing the caches for both apps just in case. Thanks!

    What is this symbol above my LTE connection bars?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 12:37 PM PDT

    I've never seen this before, and I've also dropped a few calls today. I suspect they're related. I tried looking it up online and in my phone, but I didn't find anything.

    Is there a way to tell if my Work Account is blocking access to an app?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 08:09 AM PDT

    I downloaded a Pokemon GO style game, but it doesn't work on mobile data. This is despite the fact that my pokemon GO game worked fine on mobile data.

    I've tried all the article suggestions like ensuring background data is selected on the app and even with Google play services. I'm losing my mind trying to find out why this app only works on WiFi. Could there be some way my work account is blocking it from working? Is there a way to find out?

    Easy way to clone and wipe Android device?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 11:31 AM PDT

    I have a OnePlus 7 Pro that I am looking to factory reset but I am wondering if there is an easy way to save/clone all the data from it beforehand? Is it possible to clone the storage to possibly put it back on the phone later? Or is my only option transferring what I need off?

    I haven't done this for an Android device yet so just looking for any tips.

    Some sort of Android Auto wireless adapter?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    So AA works fine with my car screen (Ford Sync 3). I was told by my service centre that wireless AA won't work on sync 3 and won't be upgraded to work. Ever.

    So I'm wondering if there are any wireless adapters that will enable it?

    Working with it plugged in is ok but i do tend to forget to plug in til I'm already on the move.

    Samsung Note 8 snapdragon custom roms

    Posted: 10 May 2021 11:23 AM PDT

    I have had the Samsung note 8 for years now and still, it's perfect for me. The phone is not outdated in anyway except, for the fact that it is not supported by Samsung anymore for software updates. I have searched online for custom roms or rooting solutions for the note 8 but haven't been able to find anything for the snapdragon model. Is it impossible to install custom roms or root the snapdragon note 8?

    Why is my Bluetooth suddenly cutting out?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 11:10 AM PDT

    I've had a moto one action for awhile now (I hate it). It has had so many weird problems, that come up out of nowhere and then disappear. My problem with my Bluetooth has been happening for awhile though. I'll be listening to a song and for a few seconds it cuts out. It sounds like it would if you got too far away from your phone (except I'm holding my phone it my hand). This has happened with both my Sony Bluetooth headphones and my Bluetooth ear piece, so I don't think it's the headphones problem. My phone uses Bluetooth to connect to my smart watch at the same time I use my headphones. I tried restarting my phone and headphones, turning the Bluetooth off and on, un-pairing my headphones and re-pairing. I also tried clearing my Bluetooth cache and Bluetooth storage.

    It seem to be a little better if I turn my smart watch off, but I haven't tested that too much. Also a lot of the time the bit rate of my songs is pretty high. The thing is though I'm not doing anything different than I did before, so I'm not sure why it would be a problem now. It can be so bad it can become unusable.

    Also when I use my ear piece or speaker phone for a phone call sometimes the phone will switch to my normal phone speaker.

    TL;DR: My Bluetooth audio is cutting out like if I get too far away from my phone even if I'm holding my phone in my hand.

    Hi! I'm looking for a new PDF reader for my Android tablet. I currently use Acrobat but I don't like it that much. Does someone here know a PDF reader that can show built - in markers? (Like the ones you see in PDF books) Any recommendations are highly appreciated

    Dual sim displays missed call on wrong sim

    Posted: 10 May 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    I use an S10+ with 2 simcards.

    I notice that when im in call with sim2 and i receive a second call during my conversation it will display it as a missed call on sim1.

    Is this normal behavior? I find this very confusing and somethis call people back with the wrong number.

    This results in using my private number for work and the whole reason for a dual sim is to be able to have a seperate number for each situation.

    Where does APK Mirror uploaders get the updates?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 09:57 AM PDT

    I read their FAQ but found no answer to this. The last update of Google Podcasts from Play Store is from one year ago but the last update on Apk Mirror is from one month ago.

    Have the update on Apk Mirror been uploaded by Google itself or by members of Apk Mirror? Is it trustworthy? Have Google itself worked on the update or the Android developers? If it's Google, why don't they put it on Play Store? Have they but not in my country?

    No message sounds when listening to podcasts / music.

    Posted: 10 May 2021 09:44 AM PDT

    Tech Noob here. I don't get any text message sound when listening to podcasts or music. I have tried EVERYTHING. Restart. Checking if I have turned it off by accident. Trying new apps. Re-installing apps. Re-starting phone (of course). Etc. The result of any google search on this problem end with variations of: "how to turn OFF notification sound when listening to music". I need the opposite. Hope you can help. And thank you in advance.

    Advice about malfunctioning Pixel 2 XL

    Posted: 10 May 2021 05:44 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, first post here.

    I own a Google Pixel 2 XL and lately it has been acting strange. My carrier is AT&T but the phone is unlocked. Also my phone has 64 GB of storage.

    My battery has been dying quick it seems, and whenever I plug the phone in it turns off. And last night it would not charge. I cleaned the charging port with some tape and it was clean. It charged this morning on a charger that was not the original fast charger which it would not charge on last night.

    Would y'all suggest replacing the battery (if I do this I will replace my screen as well because it has some cracks) also if I choose to repair it is there a larger mAh battery option?

    Would y'all recommend me using my upgrade? If so I have been interested in one of the new Samsung's or Pixel 4 models. I really like the samsung notes but I love how you always get the updates asap on the pixels.

    Please give me your opinions and advice on my issues and what option you think is best or recommend other options.

    Thank y'all.

    Text notifications pop up again when opening messages app

    Posted: 10 May 2021 09:09 AM PDT

    Pixel 3 unmodified phone here using the stock Messages app. When I have unread text notifications and open the Messages app I get a pop up notification for each unread message. It's kind of annoying. I'm about to look at the unread messages - I don't need a notification.

    Any idea if there's a setting to toggle to do away with this?

    Google One failed to restore my MMS (multimedia messages)

    Posted: 10 May 2021 09:02 AM PDT

    Pixel 4XL. My backup has 3 GB of MMS backed up. After a factory reset, I restored from backup, including MMS. I saw Google One in the notification shade had "Restoring multimedia messages..." for a while.

    The "Phone and Messaging Storage" app only grew to about 63 MB (after several hours) and none of my pics/videos were restored (though all my group text messages appeared immediately). I assume it's because I've always used the "SMS Backup & Restore" app in the past and therefore my database was perhaps kind of screwed up.

    I see the new backup of my phone has only 4 MB in MMS (from a few recent pics over Mother's Day).

    Anyone else have experience with Google One failing to restore MMS (pictures/videos)?

    How could I prevent any NFC payment if my phone is locked?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 08:53 AM PDT

    I love this feature, however with face id and fingerprint being super convenient, i don't see why we can pay up to 30€ with the phone locked. Any way I can prevent that ? Thank you !

    EDIT: Im in France where the payment terminal CAN wake the smartphone up.

    Pixel 2 - voice-to-text - Phone just started inserting {period}, {question-mark}, {comma}, etc, instead of the actual punctuation marks I want.

    Posted: 10 May 2021 08:11 AM PDT

    I use voice-to-text all the time for texts, emails, etc. I punctuate by voice. Until this weekend it has worked fine. But all of a sudden, android has started putting in the actual text/descriptor instead of the punctuation mark I actually want (i.e. "{period}" instead of "." or "{comma}" instead of ",").

    I've tried to google a solution online, but all of the results are just articles & complaints about the auto-punctuating they tried to implement a couple years ago.

    I've searched my settings, including language & input, and I can't find any setting related to v-t-t punctuation.

    Does anyone have any idea or fix please?

    I have a very annoying issue on Huawei P30 Pro after the recent updates.

    Posted: 10 May 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    Yesterday, I installed EMUI 11 and the security update that comes after, everything is fine, phone is even faster, but there is this one thing that is kinda making me go insane.

    When my phone is locked and I just turn on the screen, it fades in, takes it like half a second to completely turn on, before the update it was instantaneous.

    I hope I'm explaining this right, I feel like I've tried everything, restarted it, checked every setting known to mankind, changed the theme, wallpaper too, etc.

    Any help would be appreciated.
