    Messages (sms texting) Galaxys9 - my Samsung has started including a vocal announcement "Message from [sent name]" every time I get a text message through Google messages. How the €¢£¥ do I shut it off?

    Searching for an answer with the keywords "Google, messages, notifications, voice" barbers decades of bullshit I'm not searching for.

    Bad at tech and now I'm worried

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 09:29 AM PDT

    I got a DM on instagram from someone I hadn't talked to in a while so I opened it up the message to find a link, before realizing it was a shady link I clicked on it. Although the link ended in .xyz and was to one thing when looking at it, when I opened the link I was sent to something like rewardsgiantca com where they were giving away gift cards? So a scam

    I've never been good at computer stuff so should I be worried about any potential viruses I might have just installed? I've read in multiple websites that "it's possible to get viruses from just clicking on websites" but I've also heard people say that dosent happen. I'm so confused, should I be running to the nearest phone repair guy or can I continue my day without being worried?

    Google Photos Not Storing MP4 Clips Since Uograde to S21 Ultra

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    Hello, I at times download short media clips from a site called Yarn. These clips have always uploaded to GP successfully, but since upgrading to an S21 Ultra, they appear on GP camera roll but have a cloud with dash icon. and say viewable on device only. If I click that text it says the MP4 is an unsupported file type.

    The files are MP4 format and I never had any trouble uploading the same file type from the same clip site before upgrading the phone.

    Other possible new factors are that I use a VPN sometimes, and no longer have the ability to save to an SD card with the S21.

    Really appreciate any input or advice. Thanks in advance for any help.

    How is the GPS on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 03:42 AM PDT

    I wanna buy the OnePlus Nord 2 but from my experience MediaTek engineers don't know what a GPS is.

    Maybe they hired new engineers and now their GPS work in the new chipsets?

    Has anyone used the Nord 2 or any other new MediaTek device and can say how the GPS is?

    Is there a way to set minimum battery life?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:46 AM PDT

    My wife loses her phone often which is an issue, last time was in a lyft and her phone died, luckily we got it back. I'm wondering if there's some way to make the phone die with ~8% battery remaining so we can turn it on and have it ring remotely? If it dies at 0% there's no way to find it.

    How to clear data of system apps? (Android 11)

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    Hi.

    In the past, when I have noticed problems with file transfer from the device to a USB host over MTP, I could clear data of the system app 'media storage' which would reliably solve those issues after a few minutes for rebuilding the database. Since the update to Android 11 (lineage for microg 18.1) this is no longer possible.

    1. Can anyone confirm this on other builds?

    2. Is this documented somwhere? I couldn't find information about this change on the internet.

    3. Is there a way to still be able to without rooting?

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards

    Mobile data not working

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    On the menu bar the icon is completely disabled and does not respond by touch even though it's there. It looks darker than the others, like an option that it's not supported. Also when I try to connect manually it shows the message "sim card doesn't allow connection to this network" but my SIM card is totally functional. This problem is happening since the beginning of this month.

    Possible to redirect messages/notifications to computer?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 03:42 AM PDT

    This is probably a long shot and not possible, but I had to sell my phone due to my financial situation and I notice that for some things I really need to have access to my phone number at least for example for verification/log-in purposes, is there a way that you can get your messages/notifications, etc. that you normally get on your phone to get those on your computer?

    What's the name of this random Android ring tone?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:51 AM PDT

    This ring tone sound is emitted from my phone at least once per day. I've done a tone of research as to what is causing it but have not been able to stop it. If I knew the name of the tone, I could search for it on my phone and either delete it or change it to a more silent tone.

    Background Picture Settings

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    I have a OnePlus 7 Pro quite a high screen and I normally take wide-screen Pictures, so I asked myself if it is possible to take one wide-screen picture and set it and then whenever I switch from my home screen for example to the left and get to another one to just go a bit further from the wide-screen picture. Hopefully you can understand my explanation I was able to do that on my old Huawei so it should be possible maybe not on oxygen out of the box.

    Can I set a custom autocorrect option?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:09 AM PDT

    Whenever I type the word I on my phone, my finger tends to hit the letter a above the shift arrow, so I end up typing ai all the time (yes, I know that if I just typed i, it would autocorrect to I, but it's a habit).

    On my old iPhone I could set ai to autocorrect to I. Is there a way to create custom autocorrections on an android phone?

    In case it matters: Pixel 3XL running Android 11, using Gboard

    Is it safe to download media from wikimedia commons?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 08:45 AM PDT

    I want to download some images and videos but I'm not sure if it it safe. For example if someone uploads a malicious file and I download it, would I get malware?

    Thanks.

    Sync 2 videos with 2 tablets?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 12:29 AM PDT

    Hello! for an art exhibition we need 2 small screens playing a different video in loop each of them, but they need to be synchronized in time / start at the same time.

    I have thought in these two options:

    1. Two tablets, each one with 1 video, and each morning someone must switch on the tablets and press the start button at the same time. (not ideal)

    2. One laptop playing both videos while being connected with two monitors. Equally not ideal as we depend on someone skills each day.

    Is there a simpler way to achieve this? any app, streaming service or software to sync the videos (to start playing at the same time)?

    Many thanks in advance! :)

    Can anyone help me?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:44 AM PDT

    Hello everyone :D I've been having a problem recently related to apk installation. It seems like there's something wrong with the package installer maybe? Here's what's happening: every time I try to install an apk, the screen gets stuck after pressing the install button. The phone itself keeps working but the screen is not refreshing at all, and the only thing that appears to fix it is a reboot until the next apk comes in. My device is a Hafury Note 10, Android 9. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix this?

    Music volume while using other apps

    Cyrillic appears really weird

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:43 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    in some apps like twitter, spotify and duolingo, cyrillic looks like vaporwave kind of font (pic at the end). I looked for font change command but seems like Xperia XZ1 doesn't have any other than changing font size.

    In other app it looks fine, so I assume it's up to the app supports cyrillic or use default on the phone (not too sure tho)

    My keyboard is gboard, and I purchased this phone from Hong Kong if this info is helpful in any way.

    thanks in advance!

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:21 AM PDT

    On s21, when I say 'create a list', it opens a 'Lists and Notes' app. The only way I can get to it is using voice commands... is there a way to open this app with an icon?

    I need help with do not disturb mode that keeps turning itself on at seemingly random times

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:14 AM PDT

    So i have a Huawei Mate 10 that while i am using i sometimes notice a hollow half moon icon on my notifications bar, sure enough, it's Do Not Disturb. I opened the Do not disturb setting and it was toggled on, nothing like schedule or time is toggled so it has no reason to be turning itself on like this, I've missed a couple of calls already because of this.

    App view request pop-up thingy name

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:04 AM PDT

    When I click on a link for Imgur it asked me if I want to view in the Imgur app which I don't have or view on Google Chrome I always want to view it on Google Chrome and I want to stop that notification from even appearing. However, turning off notifications doesn't stop the pop up so I don't know the name of this specific kind of pop up. Please help me find the name so that I can figure out how to look it up and disable it.

    Opened a link on outdated phone. What to do?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:03 AM PDT

    A few hours ago I was using Facebook when I got a message from an unknown person which contained a link I wanted to copy it but I accidentally clicked instead of holding It sent me to a blank page then redirected me to one of those "complete survey to win phone" sites

    I thought "I have always opened such sites and nothing ever happened why not see what this site wants" (which was the most stupid decision I have taken) First 4 simple questions that I don't think are "sensitive information" as if I was a target to someone that would be very easy to know 1- your age 2- your phone type 3- your gender 4- what do you think of the service

    Then I got sent to a site with a spinning wheel where I won "Huawei p40 pro" Then redirected to the 3rd step

    Share to 20 friends and/or 5 groups I pressed and I shared to a few empty groups I had and some locked accounts

    Then the last step was "fill out your address and download our app" But then I kept getting redirected and the last step kept changing From "Fill out address and download app"-->"fill out address and number"-->"fill out address and download app"--> and it kept repeating Basically last step kept changing from "download app" to "fill out phone number"

    And just like that I kept getting redirected about 7 times atleast

    So I left the website and checked it on Virustotal and to my surprise "Flagged as malicious by 10 antiviruses"

    I am freaking out rn I am not a tech savvy and don't know where to check

    All I did rn was to check for any new apps/fake uninstallable system apps (didn't find any) And changed passwords I searched on Facebook about a similar topic and first few posts were warning about random fake Indian accounts sending out "virus" links and the links were the same as what I clicked

    What should I do now? Should I be concerned about possible malicious activity in the future or am I just overreacting? And could someone hack me through visiting a website without the need of hooking up some malware to my phone? (I am using an Android 7) also when it happened I was like 3 major updates late from the up-to-date version of chrome because I had auto-update disabled

    There are some apps which will not notify unless the phone is unlocked, no matter what. How is this resolved?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 04:54 AM PDT

    Certain apps will never send notifications when the phone is locked, but then send all the delayed notifications together immediately when the phone is unlocked.

    Here are all the things I've already done:

    • Phone in high performance mode
    • Adaptive battery off
    • Battery optimisation off
    • Adaptive Notifications turned off
    • Auto-sleep apps disabled
    • All apps removed from sleep or deep sleep
    • Pretty much anything else from 'don't kill my app'

    Absolutely nothing changes how this works. As long as my phone is unlocked, the notifications come through immediately. If the phone is locked, they will not come through.

    There are however rare instances, when a few other apps manage to notify when the screen is locked, and these unsent notifications tag along and come in a flood, but that doesn't happen with every app either.

    One thing I've noticed is that many of these apps also have security policies that prevent screen-shooting. But I'm not sure that's all apps, and I'm not sure how those could be related.

    At this point I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, and how to resolve it.

    Images not loading in apps on Pixel 3a

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 04:39 AM PDT

    I have a Pixel 3a, android version 11. The last few days images aren't loading in apps I use like Twitter, Vinted.

    No error message is coming up, the images just don't load. I've deleted and reinstalled both apps and tried emptying the caches but no luck. My wife is having the same issue on her Pixel 4a.

    Any advice?
