    Android Questions: Use old Android Phone as USB Monitor?


    Use old Android Phone as USB Monitor?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 01:50 AM PDT

    I currently have a Huawai P10 lite that starts to show it's age so I am thinking of buying a new phone. However, I would like to repurpose my old phone if i buy a new one. I would really like to use it as a small secondary screen on my gaming PC for things like hardware stats, Discord etc. I know there are already some solutions out there, but afaik they are based on some apps that have to be started on the phone first. I am looking to a solution to plug the phone into my computer and have it instantly recognized as a secondary display by windows. Is micro-USB able to deliver an image? I know type C is but I am not quite sure about the old Micro. On the software side, I would be totally fine to install some custom firmware as this is something i do not know much about yet but I am interested in anyway.

    How many of you face a notification delay or non-receipt when the phone's screen is off/locked?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    Use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firstrowria.pushnotificationtester

    Set it to send you a normal priority push message, in, for example, 300 seconds, and then lock your phone (turn the screen off, I guess).

    Don't use the phone at all in those 300 seconds (5 minutes). Let it stay down.

    If you don't receive that message roughly on time OR don't receive it until you unlock the phone, you have a problem.

    Whether you do or don't face a delay or non-receipt, please include your Android version, manufacturer, etc.

    Either way, this is my solution thus far: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/nb92fk/this_is_pathetic_android_notification_delay/

    SOLUTION TO DELAYED-NOTIFICATIONS:

    Enable USB debugging on the phone.

    You just unzip the file provided here in your PC: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

    Navigate to it via terminal.

    Then, after you connect the phone to your PC, run:

    ./adb devices

    ./adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

    ./adb disconnect

    Disconnect the phone. That'll fix it for sure.

    You'll have to do this every time you restart -- the setting change gets eliminated by a reboot.

    Android phone wallet hacked and scammed out, advice?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 09:50 AM PDT

    I recently got hacked and scam through a crypto exchange whereby the scammer identify himself to help stake Vechain token in VeChairThor wallet. Then he gave me a link to press which the website was very similar to the official Vechain website but with a slight twist at the end url which ends with .net instead of .org (which is the official website). Then when i transfered Vet token to the wallet, he can access the wallet (dont know how) then transfer out the vet coin to his/her wallet. i want to know if he/she can he continue to monitor other activities on the android phone because previously i click the link or its a 1 time? And to know if my phone still can be used after this incident?

    No notifications coming through!

    Posted: 16 May 2021 12:16 PM PDT

    I have a very weird situation -- literally no notifications are coming through except for persistent notifications. They show up when looking at NotiStar and the "Recently Sent" in the notifications menu shows the apps, but no popup or anything else on the notification bar is showing. DND is not enabled, Data saver is off, there are no sleeping apps, and I just reset my settings to factory but nothing is helping.

    Interestingly enough, I'm getting the "some app notifications are set to be silent" but when I go into the specific app settings, they are all enabled.

    This is driving me crazy and I'd rather not factory reset my device...

    My phone's RAM slows down. What are the solutions?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 10:18 AM PDT

    My phone has 128 internal storage and more than 80 is used. I don't know if that's the reason for the slow down or not. Is it normal to have 80 used put of 128?

    When I open the recent apps and go back to an app that I have already opened the app loads again. That is a hint my RAM have slowed down.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Edit: I've used some apps to boost the RAM. Should remove more things to clean the used storage?

    Which Samsung phones are rootable?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 09:39 AM PDT

    Not even sure if root is what I need -- just hoping to install stock Android on my old S7 edge. Maybe that's not even possible with root.

    But in general, which phones in Samsung's flagship lineup are rootable, and does this let you install stock Android? Thanks!

    Google help

    Posted: 16 May 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    My wife and I are pretty busy. We both work very different jobs and tend to make plans for the both of us separately. We both have android phones, her a Galaxy s21 ultra, me an LG v60 Thinq. Her phone has the Samsung calender, while mine has the Google calender by default. That makes it so her Google account has to be signed in to my phone for us both to see the full calender we use. If not, I can't see anything she adds to the calender, and vice versa. Now that her Google account is signed into my phone, it complicates alot of apps, especially photos. My starve has gone down the drain because Google backs everything up and it has out it on my phone from her account. It also makes it so we see each other's emails, and she sometimes clears my inbox my mistake, so I won't see important emails for over a week because they are either already on read, or in the trash because she thought it was spam. Does anyone know any calender apps that don't require her Google account to be logged into mine, or how to really separate the 2 accounts, so her account doesn't affect my phone?

    Trusted places just stopped working on two different phones at the same time.

    Posted: 16 May 2021 08:36 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung J2 and a Samsung J7. Tonight both phones stopped being able to use trusted places at the same time.

    None of the online fixes or work arounds have changed the result. My best guess is its related to something that's updated on both phones in the last 24 hours. I had auto updates disabled so even more baffling.

    In google maps, I notice you can't save a location with raw gps coordinates anymore. If you use the map to select a location with the pin (instead of type the address) , It takes the location you pick and approximates the nearest address, instead of just listing the gps coordinates like it used to

    In lock settings, If you try to add a new trusted place that is too close to the old one then it approximates the same address and tells you this location is already trusted.

    Is everyone else having the same issue or is it just a Samsung or regional Android issue? The fact it happened to two of my phones at the same time makes me think it's not phone specific. Hopefully Samsung / Android fix whatever they have done

    Vibrating/Notification Issues

    Posted: 16 May 2021 06:59 AM PDT

    I just got a S21+ a couple days ago and it was fine until I had a software update that night. Now when I have a unread Gmail notification in my bar, my phone vibrates every minute or so while I'm on it. Then last night I plugged my phone in to charge and my phone is vibrating every few seconds! If I unplug it, vibrating stops. But as long as it is charging, it vibrates constantly. It is the System UI that's causing those. How can I get that to stop? I've turned off vibrating while charging, tried a different cable and nothing stops it.

    Is the inbuilt wi-fi hotspot good enough for 10 devices or should I use a 3rd party app?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 06:47 AM PDT

    I'm having some small issues with a wi-fi hotspot on a Nexus 6P that I'm using while my broadband gets enabled, I'm just wondering if I should be using a third party app that handles it better or not?

    What made you decided to stick with Android permanently

    Posted: 16 May 2021 12:48 AM PDT

    Hi all

    So currently i am looking at sticking with one ecosystem, either iOS or Android. Now my struggle is that I like to switch things up, hardware and software, I think there has only ever been 2 pieces I've stuck with long term, Windows and 1Password.

    Now my family/friends use a mixture of iMessage, WhatsApp and telegram, some use iOS some use Android, so iMessage and FaceTime doesn't lock me in thankfully.

    But I'm wondering people who have been or are in a similar position what did you do, what's your thought process so on, maintaining two devices is A: expensive and B: annoying and ideally I am looking for stability.

    Also I use google services a lot on my iPhone, google drive, photos and so on for my personal accounts (my custom email is in another provider which is also cross platform).

    So what advice can you give for someone who is in the middle looking to stick with one platform?

    Thanks

    Wanted to uninstall pre-installed youtube app using adb.My trial in the youtube link.Any suggestions?

    Question: Wireless File exchange with win 10

    Posted: 16 May 2021 03:31 AM PDT

    I want to be able to walk up to my pc (win10) and freely share files between my pc and smartphone wirelessly. With as few annoying extra steps as possible.

    I know I can use Bluetooth but for some reason it's really slow like 0,5 MByte per second. It's also really annoying and finicky, I have to crawl through a gazillion menus options first each time.

    Any ideas how I could accomplish this?

    I dropped it and it broke. The screen is very cracked and it doesnt start. Do you think the storage card is damaged? Is it possible to get it out? (a phone repairer or something)

    Should I go for the Sony Xperia 5 ii or wait for the 5 iii?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 02:50 AM PDT

    Hello, I am looking fo a new phone, and I have landed on the Sony Xperia 5 ii, but I just found out that the mark iii comes out this june.

    Is it worth it to wait for the upgrade? How big of a difference is there between the phones? Main points of interest would be perfomance (snapdragon 888 vs 865), battery (4500mAh vs 4000 mAh) and camera. Is the processor upgrade worth it in terms of performance and batterylife?

    Should i get M51 or F62/M62?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 03:29 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, im torn between these two phones i wanted them basically for their huge battery but i have heard some mixed reviews on how the SoC of F62 is bad and drains battery while both phones have 7000mah, and im kinda hesitated to get M51 bc it has OneUI core instead of full so its missing basic android features, if anyone have any of both phones, which one would you recommend?

    Gmail, but where sublabels can be hidden [Email app recommendation request]

    Posted: 15 May 2021 11:51 PM PDT

    I'm quite happy with the default Gmail app, which I use for my private Gmail account, and for work emails (an Exchange account).

    However, it drives me crazy that I can't hide sublabels. I use the for organizing things, but they also turn the UI into a cluttered, unusable mess, leaving me to organize dealt with emails later, on my PC.

    So: I'd love a new email app which basically does what Gmail does, but where sublabels can be hidden.

    (Or an app that to emulate Gmail: I use the Forums and Updates tabs in Gmail)

    Do you have any good recommendations?
