    Whatsapp on Android 11 (Nitrogen OS) backup never finishes

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 07:51 AM PDT

    The backup keeps running showing "Preparing Google Drive Backup". I have cleared the cache of Whatsapp, restarted the phone, disconnected Whatsapp from Google drive.

    Google Apps is MindtheGapps

    Does anyone encounter similar problems?

    What are android secret codes and how safe is it to use those?

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 05:34 AM PDT

    So I'm looking for a way to know which apps has been used in my phone in my absence, and after searching on internet I see a lot of articles mentioning secret code *#*#4636#*#*, but none of the sites are from google.

    So I was wondering is it a secret feature? If so, why does no article from google mention it? Is it safe to use it? Will it affect my privacy or phone functioning? Can people use my phone but hide their activity from this code?

    Message with contact as a location sharing from iOS

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 10:14 AM PDT

    A friend sent me an MMS that reads "Current Location" as a contact. When I tapped on it, it wanted permission of which I forgot. I did not save the contact but the website address in the contact is a legit apple maps address as it begins with maps.apple.com, etc.

    I don't know what this is and I forgot the permission I granted of which I would like to undo.

    Has anyone encountered this?

    Application state doesn't stay when I switch application

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 02:38 AM PDT

    I have an Galaxy S20 Plus with latest update and I think my issue is a configuration issue but whenever I switch from one application A to application B and then back (even within 5 seconds), the application A starts fresh.

    For example, if I am scrolling LinkedIn and on a post about a something I like, I copy and switch to save it to notes, and then when I come back the LinkedIn app boots again.

    This happens with all the apps (Even Google Authenticator) which makes it irritating as I can't login to apps on my phone which require Authenticator.

    I've already unselected put unused app to sleep and LinkedIn and Authenticator (and the apps where I need state maintained) are not in the list of Sleeping Apps or Deep Sleeping Apps.

    Any suggestions? Since I think this is setting issue, where to look? I suspect it might be put apps to sleep but can't find where to ease this out (like wait for 3 mins before putting app to sleep).

    File Transfer Hell - Broken phone, USB-C, Galaxy S10

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 07:46 AM PDT

    I have the following devices:

    • Galaxy S10 - like new
    • Galaxy S10 - broken screen, unresponsive touchpad
    • Galaxy S9 - Full harddrive
    • Windows 10 laptop w/out functioning USB port
    • Windows 10 laptop w/out admin rights (work PC)
    • Seagate portable harddrive (with micro B > USB port)
    • USB > USB C cable
    • USB C > USB C cable
    • USB > USB micro B

    I want to do the following:

    • retrieve files from broken phone > new S10
    • push all files from new S10 and full S9 to seagate

    I was expecting some easy options given my devices, but looks like they really don't make file transfer simple out of the box, especially if you don't have the ability to use the source phone.

    My google foo is failing me, and I'm getting annoyed. Anyone out there that can make this simpler for me?

    Google Chrome app doesn't let me delete a search from the search bar

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 07:08 AM PDT

    The Google Chrome app doesn't let me delete a search from the search bar. I select x next to what I searched, I press delete, and it doesn't clear the search.

    However on the Google app itself (with the G as the logo), it allows me to delete my searches, so this is a Chrome specific problem on my phone (Galaxy A50).

    How do I fix this problem?

    Dangerous link accidentally opened

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 12:33 AM PDT

    So I have been using Facebook for a while and there was a post from my friend with a link I thought it was a link to some app and he is trying to earn money from it's referral program when I opened it was a link to those fake surveys which always end up with the same last step to win "download our app" I just for curiosity did the first 3 steps they asked which seemed pretty normal to me (by normal I mean can't get me compromised in any way) 4 questions "what is your age" " what is your gender" "your opinion about our survey" "your phone's os"

    Then open 3 boxes out 9 to And I won ofc

    Then share to 20 friends/5 groups All I did was actually press share but since I have had uninstalled WhatsApp temporary for space it couldn't redirect me anywhere it wanted to "share" their link but surprisingly the share progress bar kept increasing 5%, 23% 45% until it went 100% and I was sent to the 4th and last step

    "download our app to win now" I didn't even dare to go near that 3d "download" button so I left the website Then I went to check the link on virustotal and it is literally flagged malicious/malware by 30 antiviruses

    So that is what I did after seeing that 1- change my passwords Then I had to go away from my phone for about 6 hours 2- I downloaded 3 different Antiviruses and all came with "no threat"even with all required and possible permissions given (including admin privileges) 3- after a day or so I clearly forgot to clear my browser cache and data incase it saved any malicious files so I went to do that too

    Overall until now there hasn't been any suspicious activity (this has been going for 3 days) but I am not that good at tech and I heard some advanced malware hides itself and its symptoms

    I am running an Android 7 phone (yes it is very old and outdated but that is what I have for atleast the next few months until I can upgrade)

    Any advice as if to know if I am atleast 90% safe? Except of factory resetting which can't be done for now

    Side note: I would have considered myself safe already as I didn't download the app from last step but the red flags from virustotal and the sources from "The New Indian Express" which claim the threat is already on the phone once the link is opened are the ones that made me paranoid about it

    Battery replacement in Galaxy S9+

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 06:25 AM PDT

    Some Backstory:

    About 8 weeks ago I was scuba diving and i dropped my phone in the ocean. Good news was this is the one activity you can recover the phone. Bad news was it seems some water got in the battery.

    I put it in rice and use computer air cleaner to dry it out, but i woke up to a popping sound of the battery puffing up in the middle of the night. I had seen enough youtube to see where this was going, and toer the battery out immediatley.

    The next day I called my insurance who said they could send the replacement phone no problem. I asked if they knew anyone who can recover the data, and they referred me to a best buy. Now i live overseas, so i shipped the phone sans battery to my family, who brought it there. The Geek Squad was pissed because the insurance (Hi Asurion!) keeps sending people there even though they aren't partners and aren't equipped for it.

    Now i recovered the SD card's information no proble, but as I just swapped providers I forgot to save 6 years of books, videos, pictures, and hundreds of pages or writings of mine to the cloud. I asked around and the only people who say they can recover the data are asking for corporate recovery prices, about the same price as the phone itself.

    Is there a place i can bring my phone to where a professional can hook up a new power source just long enough to see if the file sare recoverable, then transfer them to a drive, or do i have to make a very expensive decision?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. On that phone are some of the only notes i have on several important writing projects, as well as pictures and videos of family and friends that have since passed.

    Help, I think I got infected with pegasus. What do I do?

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:24 AM PDT

    Hi, I found a post on the Android subreddit with a download link to a leaked manual for the pegasus spyware and thought it would be interesting to download it and see how it worked but little did I know that the post also said it included an early version of pegasus for android. In the zip file I downloaded there was the manual and the notes and a zipped file again which was zipped again which when fully unzipped had some files with jibberish names. I uninstalled the files now and that post is now removed, how do I know if im safe. I am not no journalist or something, just a regular teenager so I wanted to know if there is anything I should do.

    My antivirus (bitdefender) on my phone did not alert me but when the file as uploaded to virustotal it did ring bells. Is there any way I can know my phone is completely secure? I cant post to the r/techsupport and that is why I am posting here, please help me :)

    Please help... I have a consistent "System configuration update" notification on my phone... is it safe?

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:24 AM PDT

    It's not the usual software update. It's a notification that asks me to restart and install. Now I have already looked on reddit and its split between people saying its safe and people saying it's malware and bricked their phone.

    Does anyone know if it is indeed safe?

    Thanks.

    Erratic Scrolling

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:01 AM PDT

    Hi all, I have a Huawei Honor 8A, it's recently started giving a really annoying problem where when I'm scrolling, it will suddenly scroll all the way in whichever direction I'm scrolling. Or sometimes it'll scroll so far in the intended direction and will suddenly bounce back the other way. It's very frustrating and making it near impossible to read anything. It does this on all apps by the way, and I've tried cleaning the screen, closing all open apps, rebooting and even a factory reset. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Set time to 2037, messages got screwed up

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 10:46 PM PDT

    So I set my time for 2037 to get resources in a game faster and I forgot to change it back, resulting in a lot of text messages to be sent and received in 2037, and I have no idea how to fix this, making all messages I send or receive appear above all the messages I sent and received during this period. Any help is very much appreciated! Also the app is Google messages if it's needed.

    How does multiple user works?

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 02:17 AM PDT

    Hi, I just have one question related to multiple user feature on android device (OnePlus 6).

    English is not my mother tongue so it might not be fluent enough and sorry for that in advance.

    My google account was registered on my boyfriend's phone which is One Plus 6. He has lots of google accounts on his phone fyi. One day, I checked my Google history and it showed me dating apps that I have never used. It said it was used on android device model which is exactly the one he uses. I am using iPhone. I asked him and he said he also does not know and he sent me screen recording showing me he has no account for those dating apps or google play history. He told me later that he found out why and it was because on his phone, he can use two users like windows pc. I guess this means "multiple users feature". Everything is separated. Another user he had from the past was on active on his phone and dating apps. He told me he could see there were dating apps downloaded on that another user.

    I have no idea how multiple user feature works so I am confused and even though I decided to trust him this doubt is killing me.

    Can someone tell me how things work on android device?

    What is the difference between "Allow background activity" & "Optimize battery usage" ? If these settings are already turned on (individually) for a browser from which something is getting downloaded, then would the download stop after some time?

    Which is better: iPhone + Android tablet, or Android Phone + iPad?

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 11:07 PM PDT

    Currently an iPhone XS Max user, I'm planning to upgrade my phone soon and also get a tablet for light work, media consumption, and gaming purposes. I like having the flexibility of having both OS, but I'm not sure which combination of devices is better.

    May I get your opinions on this?

    *Additional info that may or may not be a factor - current laptop right now is a Macbook Pro 2017.
