    If I use my Android phone as a hotspot at work for my laptop, would plugging my phone directly into the laptop make any difference?

    Title says it all really, I'm guessing it won't make any difference, just wondered.

    Pixel 4a: No SD/USB how can I save backups?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:42 AM PDT

    Hi, we do not have data in our phone package and only get the option to save to "something-cloud" or 4a internal as the 4a does not have an SD card.

    Saving to the internal is nuts.

    I just tried saving the .seedvault folder it created, to my PC by USB, but there is only a few hundred bytes in it all. Pretty sure that is not the full backup.

    How can I get seedvault to store the backup to my PC via the connected USB cable and File Transfer?

    Seems the seedvault folk did not quite think this through for phones without an SD card.

    And no, I do not want to connect via wifi to backup to the "whatever-cloud" as our boonies-DSL is barely faster than dial up.

    Screen Issue - Google Pixel 3a

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:38 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I would provide a picture if I could but I'm not sure how to share one. Part of my screen is not working at all as of a few days ago. It's hard to describe without an image but my screen looks normal. However there is a consistent space or gap from the top of my screen down to the bottom that does not function at all. For example I can't hit certain keys on my keyboard. I made a sketch on an app and can share the image to help anyone see the area that is not working. Does anyone know what this issue might be?

    Question regarding mobile Hdr 10/10+ licensing

    Posted: 14 May 2021 09:35 AM PDT

    I had couple of questions i wanted to know about licensing and overall experience of Hdr10/10+ in a mobile phone

    1. Does this Hdr10/10+only activates on a video based content or overall while using a phone?

    2. I know there is a min hardware requirement for fulfilment of Hdr10/10+ but when that is met after that is it a software play/update from oem after licensing is done.

    3. As far i've heard this licensing fees 10,000$ is paid annually by display manufacturers to adopt this (software/technology?) in their display not content provider?

    4. If a streaming service adds Hdr content how does a phone (if it meets all criteria to play hdr content) gets permission to be allowed to view it

    5. Does a oem/display manufacturers have to pay each hdr content provider extra to be able to list that phone to play hdr content?

    6. This Hdr10/10+ licensing fees what all does it cover?

    Does Android support multitasking or the apps also have to support multitasking too?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    Does Android support multitasking? By multitasking, I mean that 2 apps will work simultaneously. Like files will be copied from phone storage to SD card storage while I watch a youtube video. I am expecting it to work as good as in PC.

    But I see some issues and I am not sure if its due to lacking of multitasking or apps don't support it or maybe multitasking is just not up to the mark. Or it's an issue with my device.

    To give an example, I have seen this issue in multiple ways, but I am just giving 1 example.

    I am using Samsung note 8 (sm-n950F) running on Android 9. I am using the Reddit Android App. I browse to a sub-reddit or just scroll down the list on home page. Open a post, which will link to an URL. I open that in chrome. Usually when I come back, I am able to maintain the position of the page of sub-reddit or home page. But sometimes when I comeback, (I observe that I have been at the webpage in chrome app for a long time, not sure if it's the case always) the page seems to reload and I have to go the top of the list.

    If multitasking is working well, this issue isn't suppose to happen, right?

    So, is this issue due to the OS version or device or the app?

    Are there any apps that can move other aplications to an SD card?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:49 AM PDT

    So i have a 64GB Card, but the main problem is that there arent many things i can do with it. Untill now the most i found out i can do is to download videos from Youtube Go on there (I dont really make a lot of photos). So i was teying to figure out what could i do with it, then remember watching a video quite some time ago and some guy saying that with the help of an app he moved one of his big app's to the SD card. I was wondering if such an app exist's, or if the guy was just lying.

    Trying to open a command window on my PC for sending ADB Commands to My Android Phone

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:38 AM PDT

    It will only open to powershell when I shift right click, and I can't find the setting that makes it open a command prompt instead. I can't use ADB commands in powershell, it doesn't recognize any of them.

    Weird random bugs after 4+ days uptime.

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:34 AM PDT

    Hello,

    This has been happening for a few months now. Whenever I use my phone without shutting it off or restarting it for more than 4 or 5 days, random weird bugs start to show up.

    I've heard people say that you should restart your phone once a week to keep it fast and smooth but my device is already blazing fast and buttery smooth even after 4+ days of uptime, it's only weird bugs that seem to appear and not performance problems.

    Examples of weird bugs I've had are Messages for Web not syncing with Messages on my phone despite being connected, calls not showing up on my smart watch (using Samsung Gear Sport), conversation bubbles disappearing, Google Assistant being very slow, and some Instagram notifications not coming through . These sound like just problems with the individual apps but they only appear after 4 or more days of uptime and go away after restarting or shutting down my phone. This leads me to believe that there's more to it.

    For more information I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e, US Unlocked, Android 11, One UI 3.1, Rogers SIM Card, Lawnchair 2 as default launcher, and I uninstalled/disabled a lot of the Samsung bloatware.

    Is this normal for Samsung phones, is it a problem with Android in general, or is it just my phone?

    Thank you in advance.

    Anyone still uses substratum themes

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:20 AM PDT

    I loved using them back in the day , even brought couple of themes like swift black themes which are still getting updates. I really don't understand google's logic of giving us dark grey theme instead of AMOLED black like they give us in the settings and quick toggles page. Also google stopped supporting substratum themes , when I was using andromeda (non root way to use substratum themes).

    How can I add a "Save to gallery" or "Copy to" share option from whatsapp on a Samsung device?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 11:05 AM PDT

    I want to save an image from a whatsapp conversation into the gallery (copy it from whatsapp internal storage into the real gallery). On MIUI I have 2 ways of doing this, I can either share the image, and select "Copy to" and place the image where I want, or I can open it with "View in gallery", and the gallery app for MIUI will have a "Save" option which copies it into the normal gallery.

    My Galaxy A71 does not provide either option, the gallery app does not allow me to copy the file, and there's no copy file option in share. My only alternative is saving the file to google drive, and downloading it, which is cumbersome.

    Is there any gallery app which has a save option similar to MIUI gallery? Or is there any app which provides a share intent which lets me copy or save the file?

    How do I find the wifi password on newest Android OS(Samsung A51)?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:42 AM PDT

    I know how you used to do it, but now it only shows the QR code. I'd rather not go into into crawlspace to go looking for the bottom of the router lol.. Wouldn't be an issue if the Switch Lite had a camera to scan said QR code.

    Is this a new security thing, where it only shows the QR Code and not the code+password?

    PDF viewer that can be locked to use only volume keys

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:04 AM PDT

    I have a very specific use case question. I like reading picture books (in pdf format) to my two young kids on my Galaxy Tab A. I currently use Moon+ Reader Pro, which I really like for personal use, but my kids are constantly reaching over and touching the screen, which either zooms in wildly or advances the page and throws me off. Is there any basic ebook reader that allows you to lock the screen and only advance/reverse pages using the vol keys?

    Phone app is showing contacts of a removed account (Contacts is showing the correct list)

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT

    On a Pixel 4A (Android 11), my (stock) Phone app is showing the contacts of a Google account which was setup on my phone (my girlfriend needed to check her email and forgot her phone at home) but has since been removed.

    The (stock) Contacts app is showing the correct list.

    I tried removing the cache and storage of both Phone and Contacts (hoping for a resync) but to no avail.

    Manually deleting them from the Phone app list is not ideal as it is +1000 contacts and the Phone app doesn't seem to allow multi select.

    Any ideas on how to remove these contacts?

    Posted: 13 May 2021 07:01 PM PDT

    So whenever i call people the photo that shows up on their contacts is of some random older woman. It's happening with multiple people so one person didn't just accidentally change my contact photo. Anyone have any idea of how to fix it? I can give more info if needed.

    Need Help Accessing Broken Phone

    Posted: 14 May 2021 08:18 AM PDT

    Hello there, folks. I have a broken Galaxy s10 Plus that I need to get into. I've managed to unlock the phone, fortunately the password pad layout hasn't changed much, but navigating it in any way is impossible. I'm trying to mirror the screen onto a PC, but have no way to turn on USB Debugging.

    Is there anything I can do to accomplish this? I've downloaded a few programs, but none seem to be able to work without that setting enabled.

    Note, the screen is broken, broken. When turned on, it is bright white and nothing shows up whatsoever.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Samsung phone seems to detect Chromecast

    Posted: 14 May 2021 08:17 AM PDT

    When I change the volume on my Samsung Galaxy S10, instead of the regular volume icon, a (chrome)cast-icon appears. In YouTube I also see a Chromecast icon, but there is no such device connected to my network (only my phone and desktop) and nothing out of the ordinary appears in the 'devices' and 'media' panel. When I tap the icon on YouTube and hit 'Nearby device', it asks for a pin. Does anyone know why it seems my phone thinks there is some type of Chromecast connected?

    See screenshot.

    How can I custom sort pictures in my gallery?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 02:08 AM PDT

    I downloaded a comic and the order went crazy. Like first page is in the middle and last page is in the first etc. It's all random and unreadable.

    I tried the sort by options but they are all different and don't give me what I want. Is there a way I can custom sort them?

    Can I watch movies on my phone with a USB drive without downloading it into my phones internal storage?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 04:18 AM PDT

    I would like to know if it is possible in any way to watch movies from a USB drive on my phone without downloading the movies itself onto my phone because I know it will mess up the storage and make the phone slow (or atleast slower than it already is lol). I am aware that I will need an adapter, I'm already sorting this out, just need advice on if it is possible in any way to do this with or without a special app. Thanks in advance :)
