    Android Questions: Is it possible to install stock android 11 on a budget Xiaomi phone?


    Is it possible to install stock android 11 on a budget Xiaomi phone?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 08:27 AM PDT

    I'm choosing between buying 3 devices. A cheaper redmi 9 64gb which is the fastest in games but very similar specs otherwise, a pricier redmi 9T 128gb with better battery, and a moto g8 power 64gb at the same price of the redmi 9T.

    There are so many software complains about the xiaomi phones, it's preventing me from choosing them despite their superior price performance. The moto g8 power has slightly worse specs for the price but apparently is very stable and will receive (or maybe got it already) android 11.

    The question is, can I install stock android 11 on the redmi phones and get the same experience as the moto g8? Will the phone lose hardware functionality if I do this? Will the fingerprint sensor, camera, etc, stop working if I do this?

    What would be the downsides of choosing this path vs simply buying the moto g8? I have never flashed a phone before and my current phone is some garbage from 2013 that's only used for calls and sms.

    Here is a link detailing the specs of the 3 phones https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone3=10670&idPhone1=10233&idPhone2=10052#diff-

    "Snooze Conversations" from Messenger, Not Just Notifications?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 08:09 AM PDT

    I recently found the "snooze notifications" feature and it's awesome! However, it does not work for facebook messenger conversations, despite working for other notifications. My use case is that I would like to respond to messenger conversations later, however, I get distracted by them when the notification stays up. Is there a way to fix this? I'm open to other alternatives, but I am very interested specifically in the "Snooze" quality of the notification.

    Example of snooze icon available on one notification.

    Note: I have a Pixel 3a

    My screen has had this weird white-ish overlay on it.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 11:56 AM PDT

    Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit.

    I tried taking some screenshots to show what I'm talking about, but they don't capture the problem that I'm talking about. Since yesterday, my screen has been more white-ish than usual. All of the colors on my screen appear whiter and brighter, which looks terrible and drains my battery faster. Imagine a Twilight blue light filter, but I can't get rid of it and I can't show evidence of it either.

    So far I've tried looking through my apps and settings to find the culprit, no luck. I've also restarted my phone and done shutdowns too.

    How to fastly root a BLA-L29 Huawei

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 11:49 AM PDT

    I want to root my Huawei mate 10 pro but I don't know any easy way to do that. I prefer not having all of the data reset on my phone but I think I can deal with it if it's completely necessary. Thanks!

    CAN RECEIVE but not send MMS Messages (group texts or images)

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 11:38 AM PDT

    So I have tried all of the steps outside of factory reset from this site:https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-fix-galaxy-s10-mms-wont-send-issue-troubleshooting-guide-1098910

    Including Safe Mode, resetting network settings, clearing the cache partition, restarting the phone, deleting old conversations, etc.

    I have also tried downloading a third-party messaging app like Google Messenger and the problem persists.

    I can send images in Facebook messenger, my cell phone data allows me to browse the internet when not connected to wifi, and the MMS messages still do not send when connected to wifi. So my data is working properly.

    Basically, under no circumstances can I send group messages or MMS images via the default messenger, and outside of a factory reset I wanted to look here for help first.

    Kyocera 5G Ultra - Ghost Touch Issues

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 10:47 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    I got a Kyocera 5G Ultra through Verizon and have started suffering the ghost Touches. For any that do not know, this is when the phones screen becomes unresponsive and can sometimes be seen randomly sending touch inputs with no interaction with the screen.

    This bug can usually be temporarily fixed by locking and unlocking the screen.

    I contacted Kyocera today because I was told that Kyocera has acknowledged the issue and is replacing phones that are still under warranty and suffering the ghost touching.

    The last thread I saw on this was posted here with the OP not giving any update as to what happened, so I'll be creating this post to document my progress at resolving the issue.

    Is anyone else experiencing ghost touching? It seems to be a hardware issue. I decided to post here because the other thread was also posted here.


    8/21/21 - Email sent to Kyocera Support describing issue. Awaiting response.

    Google apps not connecting

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 10:47 AM PDT

    Ever since I enabled data saver once a week ago, all my Google apps stopped working. YouTube, Gmail, Play Store, news feed... Everything.

    All other apps work fine. If I go on WiFi, they work perfectly.

    Tried rebooting, updating everything over WiFi, and clearing cache.

    What can I do?

    Rugged or regular phone with a case

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    Hello, I would like to buy a new phone. It must have a good protection against metal filings (most of my phones were broken because of metal filings that got there from my work environment). I want it to be overall very durable of course. I have CAT S31 that still works but I currently have my screen's glass broken so the new phone should have a good fall resistannce.

    It can be also a regular phone with a solid case but I'm afraid that the speaker will be less resistant to metal filings.

    My budget: 250 dollars but I prefer cheaper options.

    I would be very grateful for recommendations. Thank you in advance.

    How to switch microsd from portable to internal storage on LG K30?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 10:15 AM PDT

    So I basically got this phone for free from a friend and I want to just put a bunch of games and whatever on it. I bought a 128 gb microsd card and inserted it into the phone but it only formats as portable storage. How do I switch it to be internal storage? This phone has like almost no native internal storage so I really need this sd card to work so that I can actually download something on it. Any help would be awesome.

    Thanks!

    Does backing up your Android (Samsung) device in settings save all app data too? (e.g. Minecraft worlds)

    Need help with my little brother's tablet.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 09:10 AM PDT

    Today while trying to turn on my little brother's tablet I pressed the power button and it vibrated and the screen turned a slightly lighter color but immediately turned back off, I tried doing it again a few times but the same thing happened. It worked completely fine a few hours ago too and It hasn't been damaged. (to my knowledge) I'm currently charging it right now. I'm new to tablets so I'm not exactly sure what is happening so it may be something normal that I haven't heard of, either way, please give me some advice!

    Dual SIM with SIMs from Two Countries

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 09:00 AM PDT

    Hi

    I have a Japanese phone number (Softbank) and a US phone number (Google Fi). I currently have two separate physical phones, but thinking of buying the Pixel 6 when it comes out, and then using its Dual SIM feature (Google Fi for eSIM, and Softbank for physical SIM) to just use both phone numbers on one device.
    I hop between the two countries very frequently (even during COVID), so it's important for me that both phone numbers and data plans be working seamlessly. But I'm getting a little tired of always walking around with two phones.

    With that, here are my questions

    1. How seamless is the dual sim configuration on these phones in your experience when you have two separate phone numbers? Any major issues anyone is noticing by doing this compared to having two separate devices?
    2. Does 5G work with Dual SIM? For example, I believe the Pixel 4a 5G only does 4G for dual SIM.
    3. What 'phone app' do I use if I were to have two phone numbers on one device? Main phone number is US and that's the default phone app, then I will download another phone app from Play store for the JP phone number?
    4. For apps that are geo-specific (like a Japan only app), I guess I could just download APKs for them? Is that a safe and reliable way to go about things for apps that I use daily?
    5. If you have any other pointers that would be great...at the end of the day, I want the most seamless operation, so if that means sticking to having two phones, that's what I will do.

    Thanks so much!

    Is the new SafetyNet still not worked around yet?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 07:52 AM PDT

    With some extra flashing and whatnot, you can pass the SafetyNet check on the Magisk app with a basic evaltype and also SafetyNet Test.

    It's still not enough though as any of the serious apps like banking apps still detect root. They even detect if dev options are enabled...

    Is there any word on if there's progress on this? I see even though Magisk works on Android 11 and above, it really isn't fully supported as even the main website still mentions 9.

    Can I put a password on airplane mode and mobile data?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 05:50 AM PDT

    Is there a way to require a password to turn on/off airplane mode and mobile data, or have them not work in the lock screen?

    If my phone is ever stolen, I won't be able to find it if airplane mode is turned on or mobile data is turned off..

    I've looked all over google/youtube/app store/etc but I can't find anything. I have a samsung note 9 if that matters.

    DNS66 keeps closing or getting closed frequently even though I've given it app launch privileges. How do I fix this?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 05:34 AM PDT

    I used to use Adguard and Adshield but they didn't stop annoying in-app ads so I changed to DNS66.

    It's a good service but it's frustrating that it keeps closing or getting closed by the android system after a while. I've given it privileges to run in the background, launch itself on boot, etc, but it keeps closing itself regularly. Is there a way to fix this?

    Whrn uninstalled an app, I choose to keep data, but when I try to install a later version of that app, it won't install

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 05:27 AM PDT

    So, I've used InShot mod app for quite a while now, but I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest version of it (modded) and I trued to install it, but no, it didn't. So I uninstalled old InShot, but the pop-up said that I could keep the data, had many projects there, and I agreed. Now, the app is uninstalled, but when I try to install the apk, it says it's updating InShot but in fact not, and then says App not installed. I realise I shouldn't have kept the data, but is there a way to delete them?

    Strange files on my phone?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2021 03:47 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I got a notification of a downloaded file with a strange name, I tried to check what it was but it wouldn't open. I do not remember downloading anything at that time either... When I went to my download folder I found several strange files, the one worrying me the most being "E9TE9uVXsAcqqts.jpg_large" I've got a Samsung Galaxy S10e with Android 11. I have Bitdefender Security on it, not sure if it is really useful. By the way, I got a "the app you just installed has to be scanned before being used" notification about ten days ago, despite the fact that once again I installed nothing. But the scan went OK so I thought it was maybe just an app being updated or something like that... Here is a screenshot of the files: http://imgur.com/a/TRWhqWJ

    Thank you for the help!
