    Android Questions: Is it safe to remove the Google app from Android?


    Is it safe to remove the Google app from Android?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:49 AM PDT

    Or does it do more than just be a search engine? I've disabled Google Assistant because I don't feel comfortable sending my voice data to Google. I was able to use an ADB shell to uninstall some other stuff like Chrome, (I use Firefox) Google's messaging and file management apps, (redundant because OnePlus ships their own) as well as Sprint/T-Mobiles garbage. I don't want to completely remove the Google app for fear that it will break actually important functionality.

    How hard is it to hack into an android phone? (buddy thinks he was hacked)

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:32 AM PDT

    My friend is worried that his phone could be compromised. And that when it happens people can listen in on calls and / or read text messages, I told him that I highly doubted it. Regardless if it had happened or not how hard is it? I told him I would ask, the phone is using Android 11, last update May 1st 2021. I always felt like the phones were pretty secure (Note20).

    Also is there a way to "check" if anything happened, such as an app to run? I just wanted to prove to him that it was clean.

    Thanks

    EDIT: Don't even ask why he would be concerned... I have no idea, lol

    Disable auto update for 1 app

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:57 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    I would like to make stop auto updates for an app. Yeah I know the method to go to play store and find the app and the three dot at the right corner and untick auto update but I have one problem with it. If I use this method the other apps are not auto updating too. It always send me a notification that ask me I wanna update my apps or not and it is really annoying because I don't want the other apps to stop auto update and ask for my permission.

    Does anybody know how to reboot a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime to recovery without using the Home Button?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 01:05 PM PDT

    Long story short I disabled the capacitive keys and added navigational buttons on the screen after installing a custom rom. I went back to stock firmware but the capacitive and the home button is still not working. I decided to flash another custom rom but bricked the phone in the process. I have TWRP back up but unable to restore due to not being able to reboot to recovery because of the non-functioning home buttom.

    "Invalid IMEI" ... it's there anything that can be done?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 01:00 PM PDT

    I have no idea what flair to choose for this question, so I'm hoping it's not required...

    I bought my friend a cheap tablet on Amazon, which obviously means it's pretty much just generic Chinese garbage.

    It has dual SIM, but when I've checked the IMEI of both slots on a few websites, it's just saying that it's "invalid." Is there anything that can be done about this?

    "Google Play services requires an action" pops up every time I plug my phone in to charge (Samsung)

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 01:03 AM PDT

    Galaxy a20 user here.

    One would think the two would be unrelated, but it's happened way too many times to be purely coincidence. It's been going on for several months, I'll plug my phone in to charge, and I instantly get a notification pop-up saying "Google Play services requires an action."

    Clicking it leads me to the Google Play Games app settings, and the app is auto-disabled for some reason. I manually turn it on, but I receive no further prompts or anything. However, the next time I get the notification and click it, the app is auto-disabled again. Is this a problem with the app, or is something corrupted in my phone? Again, it explicitly seems to happen the moment after my phone gets plugged in to charge, as if the action triggers something in my device.

    Swipe does not work on b button.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 12:58 PM PDT

    This weird issue just popped up today. When I start a word swipe on the b button it doesn't swipe. I have to enter the full word button by button. However it will work after I've attempted to swipe twice. So like b boy. That's a swipe of boy twice. Only worked the second time. Any idea how this could be happening?

    Does carrier billing continue after switching to iOS?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 12:44 PM PDT

    I'm switching back to iPhone soon but all of my subscriptions are on carrier billing. Unfortunately Apple doesn't have that option in the US yet. But since my login information and phone number will remain the same, will my subscription still be charged through the play store?

    Simplified View Dark

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 06:37 AM PDT

    I use Simplified View (an accessibility feature) a lot - it removes all the fluff and just allows you to read your page. I had this on my recently bricked phone. I got a replacement. I set up the simplified view. But now the reading is all white. On my old phone it was all dark. Very easy on the eyes. I do have everything set to dark and also use Dark Reader extension on my browser.

    Why is Simplified View still white?

    White noise when I connect my phone to my car stereo using an aux cable

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:54 AM PDT

    My car doesn't have Bluetooth capability so I've always relied on an aux cable to connect my phone to my car stereo. My old LG Stylo 4+ did this without issue, but I just had to replace it. I got a Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2021 version), and when I connect it to my stereo it only plays static and hisses. The actual audio is completely drowned out by this.

    My phone was not charging at the time, it works fine with headphones, and I've tried a few different cables. I tried connecting to a portable speaker with the aux cable and it worked perfectly. The problem only occurs when I connect to the car stereo. Is there a fix for this?

    I'm trying to force app icon badge only for Gmail on Galaxy S10 without showing new message popup on the home screen or lock screen.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:52 AM PDT

    My S10 is currently running on latest version of Android. The problem is, Gmail won't let app icon badge work without new message icon showing up on lock screen and also at top of home screen. How do I fix? Do I have to download third-party mail app?

    My camera wont work anymore.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2021 10:42 PM PDT

    I have a galaxy A51 5g. I recently it less than a year ago. I have sprint/AT&T. About 6ish months ago i tripped and dropped my phone. It hit the corner of my bed frame, and it didnt crack. When i checked to make sure everything was okay the camera started glitching a bit with a warning camera failed. I googled what was wrong and nothing seemed to come up. I reset data, force stopped, checked software updates but nothing was working. I realized my back/outward facing camera worked but as soon as i tried to flip it to front/selfie facing camera it stopped. It isnt just the pre installed camera app its also not working on insta, or snapchat. Im starting to think im gonna have to use my insurance on my phone and get an all new one. If anyone could help figure this out it would be amazing. Thank you so so so much.

    An app hider

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:49 AM PDT

    Hi. I need an app hider for Android which completely hides your app. I'm talking about an app which isn't accessible if you try to find it Like you can't view it from the PlayStore list of installed apps. I'm looking for an app which has the ability to hide itself and the hidden app included within it I heard about Samsung secure folder but sadly my Samsung isn't compatible for it. I own a Galax A02s running Android 10. If any apps similar to what I described or any way to download secure folder works. Please let me know.

    I am looking for a way to hide the apps in my phone without making it obvious and for ways to prevent my files and information to be found and scrutinized, just in case they search my phone.

    I'm not an expert tech person and any suggestions that do not involve rooting my phone would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Question about Potential Malware

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:24 AM PDT

    Back around 2012, I was checking my email on my Android phone. I had an email from a name that I recognized, but I had never received an email from this person before, and I don't know how this person would have gotten my email address. I clicked on the email to open it. The email did not open. Instead, there was a pop-up notification that a file was being downloaded. I think the name of the file was security.apk. I clicked on the email again, and the same thing happened. Then I deleted the email.

    I recently remembered this, and it's been bothering me. I don't use that phone anymore. Does anyone have any information about this. I couldn't really find anything through a Goggle search.

    notification bar up there

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 10:53 AM PDT

    heyy there

    I got a problem. Specifically my grandpa has a problem. You know that little bar on your phone that you always have up there (the one with battery %, time wifi etc.). Not when you swipe it down but when you normally have it. So the problem is that he can't see his time and battery there just because they are so small for him. Is there a possibility to increase the size of this bar? We would be very thankful for help:)
