    Android Questions: My Android wifi randomly disconnects and then reconnects


    My Android wifi randomly disconnects and then reconnects

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:54 AM PDT

    So I have been having this issue for a couple of months now where my Android phone's wifi would randomly disconnect and then reconnect. My laptop wifi doesn't have this issue so what could be the problem?

    Mysterious app appeared in Android Auto called 'GearSnacks'. What is it?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:47 AM PDT

    This weekend I noticed a new app had shown up in my Android Auto list. It's called GearSnacks (no space). Here it is in my AA app list screenshot

    Tapping on it when in my vehicle, there is a list of what sound like games.

    Just to clarify, I don't have an app installed on my phone called 'GearSnacks'.

    Short of uninstalling every app one by one, is there a way I can find out where this has come from?

    Instagram can still access contacts even though permission has been denied

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:17 AM PDT

    I've denied Instagram permission to my contacts on my Android 8.1 phone, but when I click "all permissions" in the top right of that screen it says that Instagram still has permission to read my contacts.

    How do I disable this and completely prevent it from accessing my contacts?

    Install apks with company work profile?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:09 PM PDT

    My company has a work profile setup for BYOD that is administered through MobileIron Go. When I set it up, however, I lose the ability to install apks on my personal profile. This is kind of a bummer for me, as I do that somewhat frequently.

    I've tried setting up work profile using shelter, inside of VMOS, inside of samsung secure folder, and it either doesn't work or replaces the work profile from shelter. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What options do I have? I don't understand the restriction on apks in my personal profile since the work environment is sandboxed.

    Lockscreen Issues (One Plus 6T, Android 10)

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 08:01 AM PDT

    I am using One Plus 6T, Android 10 phone. I wanted to switch from Default One Plus Launcher to Microsoft Launcher. Since then, lockscreen appears gibberish.

    Steps Tried 1. Switched back to OnePlus default Launcher 2. Uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Launcher

    P.S: I have used Microsoft Launcher many times in this device anr never came across this.

    Something tells me that lockscreen is "locked" because I fiddled with the settings that I am not fully aware of. Internet articles too aren't helping me much

    Need to know the best way to "clone" a phone

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:40 AM PDT

    My Pixel 4a 5G has lost the finger print capability and has overheating issues so I need to take it for service. I have a feeling they are going to replace the phone and not repair it.

    I have a One Plus 8 5G that I am not using and would like to transfer all my application from the Pixel to the One Plus which already has some of my apps because I was using it before I bought the Pixel.

    What is the simplest way to accomplish the moving of apps and if possible not having to re-enter my passwords for the accounts

    Okay,now my phone's internal storage is glitching

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:40 AM PDT

    So i have Vivo branded phone,i was playing azur Lane and thought i would delete the data and play other games for a while,and when i deleted the azur Lane data,the data seemed not to be deleted,it actually caused my storage to have no space for data anymore,my phone should be able to hold about 14 GB of storage,and when i delete the azur Lane data,the data is deleted but my storage status is not deleted,so my total storage capacity is about 20 GB,some is used for the file system,7 GB for call of duty mobile,and 7gb should be azur Lane,and when i delete azur Lane,only the data is deleted,and my storage doesn't appear to have been emptied,now i can't play azur Lane without deleting call of duty mobile data,anyone have a solution how to solve this?or should i buy a new phone again?

    S10+ can't connect to public tube WiFi, but my OnePlus 5T can? Anyway to fix this?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:54 AM PDT

    So my S10+ is my primary phone with my sim inside. but for some odd reason I can't connect to the London Underground's WiFi (logging in with my 3 Network account). But yet my OnePlus 5T connects instantly without even a sim card or login needed.

    Here's a comparison between the two when trying to connect.

    Tips for why I should get an android?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:45 AM PDT

    Sorry if that was misleading, I really couldn't come up with much else, but I'm trying to convince my mom to let me buy an android with my money. The only problem is that she's most likely going to ask why I want one and such. I was wondering if any of you guys could just give me a few basic talking points. For example: "It's so much easier to develop apps on android" or something like that. Thanks everyone.
    I'm an aspiring developer and am planning on buying the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC if either of those help.

    Some notifications transparent others not

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:59 AM PDT

    I see this question was asked and unanswered like a year ago, but anyone know why some notifications are not transparent? It's a "silent" notification (weather Channel app, if that's part of it)

    I need help with deleted sms (samsung s10)

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:38 AM PDT

    I need to recover (as many as possible) deleted sms and call logs from past few weeks (I will just add that I only need this from one number/contact). It seems that most things that I need was deleted about week or two ago. Phone: Samsung S10 (probably exynos, because I live in EU). If you need any info just ask. Thank you all.

    Probably a stupid question about storage.

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know much about phones.

    So at least on my phone, when you delete something it's gone, but if you go into the photos app everything you've ever downloaded is still there, and you can view it and even download it again.

    Do these photos and videos take up space? Should you get rid of them to free up space?

    I have a pretty big SD card and it seems like I'm always 2-3gb away from being full, and I don't understand where all this stuff is coming from.

    Keep getting weird texts - phishing probably but how do I stop these?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:13 AM PDT

    If this isn't the right place to ask this please let me know. I keep receiving texts like this (basically has a link from an email and it's also sent to plenty of other numbers).

    I block the numbers but a few days later I receive a similar text from a different email/number/etc.

    I'm wondering what caused this and if I can prevent it/stop it for good?

    Want to switch to Android

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:09 AM PDT

    Hey everyone. I've been using iPhones for about 6 years now and I'm thinking of switching since I'm getting tired of IOS and Apple's ecosystem. Atm I have an iPhone XS Max 512 gig. I know close to nothing about Android so I need your help.

    I wanted to swap my phone for a used Android with similar value, preferably something about the same size and 256 - 512 gigs. Face ID alternative / under screen fingerprint scanner.

    I don't care about notches and / or punch holes, the main thing for me is high or adjustable refresh rate and good battery life.

    What brands would you recommend and what should I look for when swapping the phones?

    P.S. I am looking for a swap due to lack of cash, but I am selling my Apple Watch at the moment.

    Thanks for your attention :)

    LineageOS to stock rom, save data?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 09:07 AM PDT

    I recently got a Google Pixel4a and put lineageOS on it. It's worked more or less fine, but there are a few massive inconveniences; my brokerage app is unable to use biometric login, as it signs me out every time; the location feature seems to be iffy, and it has trouble finding my location; apps are difficult to update through aurora store, due fo conflicting Play Service packages; as well as a few other things.

    I have no love lost for google, and I'd absolutely prefer to stay away from them, but unfortunately I don't see a way out from it. My general question, unless anyone has advice related to the above, is would it be possible to revert back to the stock google rom while keeping my apps and data? I followed the normal Lineage OS installation instructions, so I think it may be possible, but I'd prefer not to mess that much with my phone without knowing for sure. Please note, I can find out how to go back to stock rom fairly easily, I just don't know if I can keep my data. And no, I do not have TWRP or an image backup on this phone.

    TIA!

    Is there an android music player that works with android auto and fast forward option and resume from where you left off when you reconnect?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 08:23 AM PDT

    Paid or free. Doesn't matter if they have those two features. Bonus points for Google drive listening.

    MacOS Preview equivalent?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 07:36 PM PDT

    Apparently, MacOS has a pretty powerful app called preview that's built in. You can do a lot with it, including redacting pdf files.

    Does Google have an equivalent app for their ecosystem with similar capabilities? On Android, the Drive app is the default viewer, but it doesn't seem to be able to do anything beside just viewing the file.

    Looking for a real, PC-like autoclicker, preferably without root access.

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT

    Hi all, As the title says, I am looking for basically an autoclicker for android (an11). Not a touch simulator, a tool which clicks the mouse connected to my phone instead of me. As far as I know, prior to an11, mouse support was a bit wacky, the right click was basically a "go back" button. But now, it functions as intended on PC, and I need this thing (not gonna keep it a secret, for a Minecraft farm). Does anone know about anything like this? If so, please help! It would be massively appreciated.

    My son's iphone quit working. My mom gave him her old Android device. I updated it with the carrier, but I used my mom's old SIM card because the SIm card in the iPhone wouldn't work on this device. Is there a way to update the number attached to the phone?

    Something about installing fonts

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:39 AM PDT

    When I try to install a font, it uses the same font everywhere, even in places where it should show bold, it just shows the regular typeface. Is there a way I can install multiple fonts (a font family) so that the system uses the correct fonts? I only have a rooted Redmi 8A with Android 10.
