My face keeps pressing buttons while on a call Posted: 07 May 2021 11:23 AM PDT Every time I'm on a phone call, I seem to constantly press things on the screen with my face. Is there any way to change how hard it is to click on things while in a call? it happens every single time. The screen goes black when I put the phone up to my face, but a few seconds later Im pressing speaker button or mute button or something on the phone. It doesn't seem to block any touching that well. I do believe that the screen becoems active again, but I cant possibly be moving the phone this much during phone calls I'm on a redminote 10 with Android 11 & MIUI global 12.0.5 [link] [comments] |
Is there a way to make hand written notes on the lock screen and have them stay there until erased? Posted: 07 May 2021 01:42 AM PDT I'm looking for a way to write notes on the lock screen, without unlocking the phone. I also would like that they stay for me to see every time I turn the screen on instead of being imported into an app that I have to open or having a widget. I have ADHD and those extra steps of unlocking and finding the notes really make a difference to me. I really just want the equivalent of pulling out a notebook and writing on it without actually having to carry one around. I'm open to suggestions such as rooting and custom ROMs but I would really like to find a smooth way of doing this! I have a OnePlus 6T but if it requires a different phone this would a large part of the decision when I upgrade. [link] [comments] |
Why does Android say there are open wifi signals when all available are password locked? Posted: 07 May 2021 11:07 AM PDT The title pretty much says it all. I have to assume the Android developers are using the word "open" differently from how I do, so what does it mean to them? To me, a wifi connection that requires a password is not open.

Can I buy the international version of a Samsung A72 and use it immediately? Posted: 07 May 2021 12:28 PM PDT If I'm from the US and have AT&T as my network, can I buy a Samsung A72 international version from Amazon and use it? Would I take the SIM card out of my existing phone or would I need a new SIM card? The A72 isn't available in the US, so I'm hoping to buy the international version and use that, but I have no experience with this situation. My SIM card is 4 years old as well. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 May 2021 12:24 PM PDT I read that "pm disable com.google.android.gms" freezes an app. Does this have the same effect as disabling an app in the control panel? Does freezing an app hide it? (I'm trying to figure out a way install both GSF and microG on my rooted Android 9) [link] [comments] |
A single notification sound for split messages? Posted: 07 May 2021 08:16 AM PDT This issue has become the bane of my existence. I'm a bit frustrated that SMS messages have a character limit and have to be broken up frequently, but I can live with that. What drives me crazy is that each individual section of a split-up message has its own notification sound. Every time someone texts me, I get to endure 3-4 "BING!"s in rapid succession. I don't want to turn off notifications entirely. I just want some kind of cooldown, where it can't play the sound more often than X, like 10 seconds, and if more come through they're just silenced. Better yet, some functionality to detect where split messages are part of the same message, and play only one sound for the lot. Thanks for any help. [link] [comments] |
[Question] How can I make my phone choose the right Wifi? Posted: 07 May 2021 03:14 AM PDT Hi there, I have a problem:
Any pointers in the right direction are very much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
(rooted) constant update pop up and failed boot Posted: 07 May 2021 11:46 AM PDT using a moto e5, rooted. Every few hours I'll get a full screen pop up that tells me to schedule installing an update. previously it was popping up to tell me to download the update, i accidentally accepted one time, it installed too but failed, saying no changes were made. after that, each time i restarted the phone I got a failed boot, but if I click start anyway, it works fine. now its telling me to schedule an install (since it failed the first time). I keep clicking home out of it but it's becoming really annoying now. TLDR: restarting makes phone "fail to boot" but if I click start in the menu that pops up instead, it works fine, and while im using the phone, I keep getting a full screen pop up to install an update.

Posted: 07 May 2021 11:17 AM PDT 1st part is self explanatory I think but by the 2nd part I mean something wherein I could tether to my android so that the android('s camera) could be left in-place, while I'm 5' or 20' away from it, and I use another (paired/tethered) device to "click" to take a picture? The scenario is so I can get pictures of myself climbing&cutting trees, it requires the camera be like 5' minimum away from me, and of course I don't have a free hand while operating a chainsaw (well not one that could take a pic!), I have plenty of "selfie stick" type setups and extra Android handsets with sufficient resolution for my needs, I just cannot setup for a cut in a tree using a 10 second delay it's not remotely long-enough for me and it's the max time-delay the camera on my phone allows... and of course it's not like I have a photographer / someone up in the tree beside me to just snap the shot (and from-ground doesn't give a vantage point worth a damn in most cases) Thanks a ton for any help w/ this, hate the idea of going and buying a camera when all these android handsets are totally sufficient cam/vide-cam's (IMO), but a 10-second-delay doesn't let me get a picture of me in-tree and making a cut, no matter how closely I've got the camera tethered & how well I "prep" the shot, I just can't get in-position in 10sec not safely at least and that's a line you don't cross lol not "cuz ur smart" but just because of instinct!

Anyone else have problems with google chrom Posted: 07 May 2021 11:09 AM PDT Latley it allways crushes I thought it because i opened to many apps. But even though i closed a lot with hard work (since its crushes after i close them and renew them) It still crashes.. Wouldn't think it would happen with fuckin chrom [link] [comments] |
Any apps to deal with the status bar? Posted: 07 May 2021 11:08 AM PDT I'd just like it so when opening up my apps, the status bar was either transparent or hidden, as it takes up space on the screen for no apparent reason. I am running Android 11 [link] [comments] |
Phone stuck in download mode... Kind of Posted: 07 May 2021 10:58 AM PDT So, i left my phone to charge last night and when i woke up and turned it on, i saw this : http://imgur.com/gallery/5lbmVJV I tried to press power and volume down, it turns off but then it turns on by itself back into that. I tried to press all buttons, no result. I tried to connect it to a laptop and maybe try something with Odin but it doesn't work cause i don't have USB debugging activated, and i can't turn it on lmao I tried to let the battery drain out, charge it and then turn it on, but nothing happened. I can't get the battery out since it's a newer phone. So i guess it's a bootloop combined with download mode ? Idk Please help me, i don't know what to do [link] [comments] |
Can I use my phone as a trackpad in Desktop Mode? Posted: 07 May 2021 10:57 AM PDT I just got a new usb-c monitor and it works with my LG G8 fine but I need to use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to interact with that screen. Is there any way to use my phone as the mouse/keyboard? When using a Bluetooth mouse, I can use the software keyboard on my phone, but it would be nice to dispense the mouse and just use my phone as the primary navigation device. I remember when Ubuntu was working on their phone and it looked like you could use the phone in that way. When I search all I find is apps to control your computer from your phone or the other way around using the local network. [link] [comments] |
My phone doesn't see the OTG usb stick Posted: 07 May 2021 10:45 AM PDT This is really strange. I have a HTC one M8 which is an otherwise solid phone, and both OTG checkers I downloaded from Play Store say it should mount OTG fine. The USB Host, Manager, Device List are all working correctly. Still, the phone doesn't seem to even recognize that I am connecting a device via OTG USB. It doesn't mount, there's no notification pop-up etc. I tried various sticks and OTG cables, and they all work on my older phone, but not this one. I don't think that's an issue with the port, since I use the same port to charge my phone and it works no problem. I have cyanogen mod installed, but from what I know it fully supports OTG, yet the devices I connect don't even seem to be recognized when I launch recovery mode. Anyone had a similar problem?

Google Messages Using Camera When I Open It Posted: 07 May 2021 10:39 AM PDT I have a Galaxy S10, which has a dual aperture lens that makes a "click" sound when it is engaged. Every time I open the Google Messages app I hear this sound - even without opening any of the camera features. I have also had issues with high battery usage for years now and it crossed my mind that one reason that it could be using an insane amount of battery is that it is constantly using my camera when the app is open. I would like to know if this is normal and if there is any way to manually monitor when the camera permission is being used that isn't just relying on the clicking sound, because for all I know it could just be using it for a split second when I open the app (which I suppose still wouldn't make much sense, but still...).

Stop Oreo from auto switching between known WiFi AP Posted: 07 May 2021 09:34 AM PDT [Oreo 8.1 / Lineage 15.1] I have 2 saved WiFi AP in my phone:
My phone sometimes auto switches to wifi2 from 1 and internet based apps (e.g. whatsapp) stop working. I want it to just stick to wifi1 and only connect to wifi2 when I manually tell it to. I can't use the forget option because I use wifi2 daily for a couple hours. Don't want to enter password (and set ip/gateway) every time. [link] [comments] |
Rugged cell phones from China. Posted: 06 May 2021 09:31 PM PDT Can anyone share a opinion on Blackview, Ulefone, Doogee, oukitel, or any of the other rugged cell phones made in china? Are they worth buying? There are several brands but I am hesitant to spend several hundred dollars without a little knowledge. [link] [comments] |
Youtube swipe up full screen S20 Ultra Posted: 07 May 2021 08:47 AM PDT I just got the S20 Ultra today and was on youtube and realised that I can't swipe up on a video to full screen it. I was able to do this on my old S7 Edge but not on my new phone. Any thoughts on this? Is there a way to somehow get it working again? Or is it a feature that has been taken off? [link] [comments] |

Cannot transfer video file from PC to phone without losing the audio. Posted: 07 May 2021 08:13 AM PDT Hello, i've had this problem for a long time. Whenever i try to transfer a video file from my pc to phone, there's no audio on the video after it's transferred to the phone. The small speaker icon in the video player is locked as muted when i try to play the video. I've tried alot of different methods (Google drive, USB etc.) with the same result Do any of you know how to fix this? The only fix i can think of is sending the video to someone over a chat service, and then downloading it on my phone. This is not optimal, since it downgrades the video. I have a samsung galaxy a71. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
No "Format as Internal Storage" option Posted: 07 May 2021 07:55 AM PDT So l bought a 128gb memory card for my Realme 6i because the game that I play is so big that I have to buy a new memory card. When I inserted the sd card in my phone, I was confused on why I cant transfer some apps in the sd card. So I looked up on the internet to find some solutions. Everyone was saying to format the sd card as internal storage, so when I checked mine theres no "Format as Internal Storage" option, only the "Format SD Card". So I searched for another solution again and they said is to plug your sd card in a pc and format it as EXT4 or exFAT (Our pc only has the exFAT) after I formatted it. I inserted the sd card again in my phone and there is still no "Format as Internal Storage" option. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 May 2021 07:47 AM PDT I'm having an issue with a work tablet that someone accidentally changed the settings for. Usually when selecting an area to type in, Chrome will have auto-full suggestions in a drop-down menu below where you are typing. However someone managed to move it from there to above the Samsung Keyboard. Anyone know how to move it back? First image is what I want it to be. https://ibb.co/qkphB31 Second is what is currently is. https://ibb.co/gMZT6S8 [link] [comments] |
