    Android Questions: Android 11 takes up 107GB of space.


    Android 11 takes up 107GB of space.

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 03:36 AM PDT

    As title says, my OnePlus9 is currently on Android 11 and it takes up approx 107GB of space of storage.

    Is this normal? Is it glitched or something I can do to clear it up? It seems really abnormal.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

    Help with forcing OTA updates needed.

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:35 AM PDT

    I have a device (Moto G7 Play) that is running Android 10. The device did not receive the Android 11 OTA update and thus will not receive the Android 12 update when it is available. Is there a way to force the Android 11 OTA update now without clearing local data on my device, and if so, will this also work to update to Android 12 when it is available? Many thanks!

    I have a custom ROM installed with magisk root, I want to revert to the stock ROM but without losing the root.

    Netflix won't let me watch downloaded videos everytime I restart my phone

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:56 AM PDT

    I'm using an s21 ultra with android 11 and everytime I restart my phone I can't watch any of my downloaded videos on Netflix it gives me an error 5.7. I've been looking for solutions and all I can is find is solutions based on rooted devices which mine is not. They talk about a file called liboemcrypto.so which I looked around for and could not find anywhere on my system file. I really need help because redownloading everything Is not a good long term solution and I do not want to reset my goddammit phone to default settings just so this shift can happen again if I ever need to restart my phone.

    Google play unlock pop-up.

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 09:57 AM PDT

    I have applock set up on some of my apps, including google play store. For about a week now, whenever im on the YouTube app, the unlock prompt pops up for google play dispite me not opening the app, it doesn't happen while a video is open but only when navigating the YouTube menus, if i do unlock google play, whether its through the one that poped on YouTube or if i open the app, it stops.

    I know the obvious solution is to just unlock google play or remove the applock on it but i was hoping to know why this would happen, and why it doesnt happen with any other combination of apps, it never happened before, and just started to recently so there must be a reason.

    Losing memory space

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:32 AM PDT

    So sometimes I preview .zip folders using the RAR app before they're done downloading, I've noticed sometimes when I do this I lose storage space somewhat equal to that partial extraction that doesn't come back even after I close the RAR app. I also remember one time having tried to install an 8gb APK that failed halfway and took off about 5gb of free space that I never recovered.

    Is there any way to recover this type of lost storage space? Like some app that deletes junk data or something? Thanks in advance.

    How to uninstall all USB drivers/conflicts of different USB Game Controllers in Android?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 09:15 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Is there a way to delete all previously installed external devices/game controllers for USB access in Android? I don't mean USB debugging either I've not even got that enabled on this device. I've connected 3 different types of grey-label game controllers via 2.4 Wireless USB dongles to my Samsung Tab S6 (SM-T865, Android 11) and that's messed up the functionality a bit with what I assume is a driver conflict of some sort (?). I can no longer get generic 360 to show up in RetroArch which is the one that works best ("Virtual 0/0" shows up now), I can map it so it works fine in RA but the real issue is with Dolphin emulator where I can't map D-Pad or Analog on any of the 3 different controllers anymore unlike on my S20 where I have no conflict as I've only ever used that one controller and how I used to before trying the other two types of controllers on my S6. I need to get rid of them all then plug in my 360 generic from scratch for the first time, get it to install what it needs to install/alter and go from there.

    There's nothing I can identify in apps with App Inspector, I've tried looking at .idc files but nothing of note there I can only find 3 generic ones to do with keyboard and touchscreen and I'm not wanting to uninstall OTG entirely unless I can be assured I can get it back on again - I know you can uninstall it and this seems like it might be the quickest way to fix this but I'm not sure how I'd put it back on? Edit: Also there's nothing obvious in Settings that I can find either to do with the devices, connections, unmounting the USB connected in storage settings...nothing.

    I don't have root access on this device either and I don't really want to as it's still under warranty. I have found an app that has given me the information of the three different dongles in DeviceList but I don't know what to do with that info I'm totally out of my depth:

    Controller 1

    Vendor 0x045E (1118)Device 0x03EA (1002)Product 0x028E (654)

    Controller 2

    Vendor 0x0079 (121)Device 0x03EB (1003)Product 0x181C (6172)

    Controller 3

    Vendor 0x054C (1356)Device 0x03EC (1004)Product 0x0268 (616)

    Sorry if this has already been asked I just can't find anything that helps. Thanks for your time.

    Device Idle eating battery

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 09:02 AM PDT

    So ive reset my Galaxy S6 yesterday and using it without any issues, except that today the Device Idle has been eating nearly as much battery as the screen was, which seems odd for it not even idling much (phone off charger for just 11 hours, and like 5:30h was screen on time), so i expected it to be somewhere at the bottom of the screen and for the main drains to be screen, CR and YT which are the apps i mostly used. Should i wait for it to settle down on its own over time or should i look into wakelocks etc? Thanks :) http://imgur.com/a/90MrIZg

    How to protect private data on phone?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:03 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a one plus phone with cracked screen. I need to sent it for repairs but before that I want to protect my private data. Unfortunately there have been instances with girls private data being stolen and I'd rather not get added to list. I've already taken backup of all photos and phone numbers and will delete both of them. Is there anything more I can do?

    Any help is appreciated

    Should I buy a new phone solely for security patches?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 07:56 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I have a Nokia 7 Plus, had it for 3 years now. I'm really happy with my phone, battery is good, CPU is fast enough for my needs, only sometimes 4GB of RAM is not enough, but I manage, not that big of a deal.
    But, on the other hand, I use my phone for work, I have my banking apps, work related projects, e-mail addresses and such and I would like to keep them as secure as possible. My Nokia is on April's patch, which is the last one it'll be getting, so now I'm wondering if'd make sense to buy a Nord CE 5G so I would get all the latest security patches.

    To sum up, I don't want a new phone, I just don't know if I should buy a new one with security patches.

    Thanks

    How can I run basic scripts to list content of storage?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I would like to be able to run a script that would list the content of folder (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Music). I downloaded Termux on F-Droid, in order to run a bash script, but I cannot access to the folders of storage.

    Am I missing something, or is there a better way to do it (with adb perhaps)?

    Will having multiple user profiles on my Oppo Reno 5 Android phone drain battery life faster?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 01:39 AM PDT

    Hi, I was thinking of making separate user profiles for personal and work. Like have different apps for different profiles on my Android device.

    Will having multiple user profiles affect my battery life negatively?

    Thanks! I'm new to Android since I recently transitioned from iOS. Any Android tips and tricks (especially for Oppo Reno phones) are also very welcome. 😊

    Apps in full screen.

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:17 AM PDT

    Hi all I'm on oneplus 9 pro. I had been using drive PDF viewer to view PDFs mostly using it for reading newspapers. Earlier the pdf used to take the entire area including the space around notch. Since a last few days I've noticed the horizontal space around notch getting blacked out.

    I'm not sure if I messed up some setting or it was an update. But I found the old way pretty convenient. Is there some way I can get rid of that bar or some other app that allows us to? Thanks in advance

    Like if I'm playing a game or doing a task, I could accidentally miss click. Is there a setting that could minimize that window so that wouldn't happen?

    Can't find the install folder for application

    Posted: 13 Jun 2021 10:59 PM PDT

    So I have a Samsung A31 and I've installed a few third party apps. Usually I'm able to tinker around in these third party folders and browse around in their files or stuff like that but about a few weeks ago most of the folders suddenly disappeared for some reason. Usually they could be found under the "Android" folder but now I've only got a handful of folders, mostly stuff downloaded from Google play (I've checked if the folders are hidden as well, they don't show up). I've checked the third party apps in question, and they still work fine it's just that I no longer know where to find their files.

    Does anyone know of a way to locate where there folders/files have moved to?
