    Android Questions: Whenever I plug in the earphones, I can hear everything the mic is capturing instead of the media playing on the phone only


    Whenever I plug in the earphones, I can hear everything the mic is capturing instead of the media playing on the phone only

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 08:11 AM PDT

    I am on Android 10. Whenever I plug in my earphones (with mic), I can hear my voice and the surrounding noise on the earphones. So its not only the music that is playing on the earphones, whatever sound the mic is capturing is being relayed into the earpiece.

    How to determine if a file is supposed to be on phone.....need help

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 06:47 AM PDT

    For some time now my husband has believed that someone other then me puts unwanted files on my phone….files he believes are used to manipulate the basic functions of my phone as well as monitor the activity on my phone. He regularly looks at the files on my phone (both system files and files saved by me) and states that this file or that file should not be on my phone if the phone were on it's normal working state. I honestly know very little about the system files on my phone. I know the files I have saved on my phone (photos, pdf, etc) and since I don't keep any secrets from him then I do not mind at all that he looks at these files. I just don't know how to prove to him that a specific file is supposed to be there because of an app or something like that. Is there anyone who knows about this type of thing that can offer some assistance? I know there are people out there that understand this type of stuff. I have gone to my cell carrier as well as the manufacturer and the don't offer much help....

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help...

    Vo-Wifi stopped working on OnePlus 7 after Oxygen OS 11 update

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 03:36 AM PDT

    After the Oxygen update I am not able to receive or make any calls when I am connected to the Wi-fi. However when I am using my data the VoLte is working. Whenever I restart my phone the VoWifi feature seems to he working for quite a few minutes but after that there is icon in the notification bar and neither can I make any calls I tried resetting the network settings and also did a Factory reset on my phone yet the problem still persist. If I use data from any other phone using their hotspot the feature seems to be working completely fine. But the problem isn't with my other Androids as they seem to have completely fine Vo-Wifi on the same Wi-fi. The problem started after I updated it to Oxygen OS 11. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Make a setting using QR code

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:09 AM PDT

    Can we make a setting in our Android by simply using QR code? For example set an alarm clock by scanning QR instead of manually set it ourselves.

    I use a Samsung Gqlaxy S10e phone, with Android 11.

    For some time now, whenever I try to install an APK, after giving permission to the app and click "Install", the prompt just says "App not installed". Is there a way to fix/surpass this?

    Phone rings when on vibrate

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 04:50 AM PDT

    I have my phone set to vibrate, but it still rings when I get calls. It's not consistent, and I can't predict which numbers will ring, but it is never someone from my contacts list when I call and is usually a random number or spam call.

    This is something new that started happening a few days ago. I did not make any settings changes that could have affected this. Is there a way to return my phone to normal functionality? Having it set to vibrate only for the phone to ring is very annoying.

    Hard/Factory Reset not working - help

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 04:44 AM PDT

    I have an alldocube android tablet that simply won't reset. I've tried software reset, hard reset, I've flashed the ROM, but when the tablet boots, it's still with the same settings and accounts on it. Even if I uninstall or remove users, after restart everything is exactly the same.

    This tablet is now forever in this state, every app I install just disappears after reboot, every wifi network is forgotten, I really don't know what to do.. It gives the message that the wipe was successful but nothing changes.

    Can someone point me to a possible workaround for this?

    Thanks.

    Deleting eSIM profile

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 04:26 AM PDT

    Is it not possible to delete eSIM profiles anymore on Android? I have a Pixel 5. I know it was possible to do before using the SIM manager app but I can't even access that app anymore even though Play store says it's installed. And can't find anything in settings for esim profiles. It shows theres an eID number for sim slot 2, which would be for the eSIM profile from the carrier, but can't see any way to delete it.

    My phone cam with a preinstalled eSIM profile (not an eSIM card) for a carrier in a different country. Can't add an eSIM from my own country cause of it as it only allows the specific eSIM card associated to that profile and carrier. I bought the phone from an online reseller in my country. They don't officially sell Pixels here. They must have fucked up the cleaning of the phone. They're of course telling me to contact the carrier (Telekom Germany), while Telekom doesn't understand what an eSIM profile is.

    High sensitivity when marking text

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 03:34 AM PDT

    Usually when i move one of the blue pins at the end of the marked text to the top or bottom of the screen even slightly it adds a few paragraphs to the marked text instead of just the line above or below it.

    Is there some kind of setting where I can lower the sensitivity of scrolling when I mark text? Or another fix for the issue?

    Control/limit how many notifications apps send (by minute, p.e.)

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 09:29 AM PDT

    Obs: Sorry for poor "engrish"

    Some apps, like Telegram and Whatsapp, send a notification for ever single f***** message in chats, spamming notification sounds like a millions birds in a Broadway musical (chirp from cities skylines).

    Samsung Email Still Displaying Old Phone in Signature

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    Hello, I recently upgraded from an S8+ to an S21 Ultra, and my stock Samsung email still says Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+ as the signature.

    I thought that it would default to a new S21 message, and I did not see an option in settings to change.

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

    My phone is consistently freezing. What can I do?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 08:59 AM PDT

    My phone from 2018 is getting classic Android lag that is heavily affecting its performance to the point of being unreliable. It's been getting slower since it stopped receiving patches over a year ago.

    So far, I've done the following:

    • added greenify
    • moved all extraneous storage to an SD card
    • deleted unused apps

    The slowdown gets worse whenever the notification shade is used.

    Is there anything I can do at this point?

    White Screen- Samsung Galaxy A20

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 06:32 AM PDT

    TL;DR at the bottom.

    My phone is stuck on white and green screen with four thin black lines. i don't know how this happened. All i know is that i went to sleep last night, in which i'm positive my phone died because it was on 15%. i woke up this morning to it supposedly dead since it was on a black screen and wouldn't come on. dead or alive, in order for my phone to charge, i have to do a quick restart by holding power and volume down. the weird thing is that my phone said 34% which was weird because i had just started charging it. anyway after starting it and trying to install something, it automatically just restarts. no black screen or anything. it went straight to the Samsung screen then the home screen, telling me once again to unlock the device to start it. from there, like 3 or 4 large black bars appeared, with slivers of the real screen shown in between. then it started to glow bright. like hurt your eyes bright. it kept going until it stayed there. i tried shutting it off and give it some time but that made it worse. before i could even get to the samsung screen, it got bright again with the four black lines i mentioned before. now i can't even turn it off. its just stuck there. what do i do? can i just take it to a repair shop? also please don't tell me i'd have to factory reset it. i have things on there that will be VERY hard to even start getting back. also sorry for sucha long post.

    TL;DR- my phone grew bright like it was gonna explode and now it's stuck on a mainly white and green screen with thin black lines. please help.

    Adoptable storage on Galaxy S7 with Android 8.0.0?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:45 AM PDT

    Originally, it was possible to enable adoptable storage on the Galaxy S7 through ADB, but Samsung has patched that out; Now the command succeeds but doesn't actually do anything.

    Meanwhile I am struggling. AppMgr Pro III doesn't help, because most large apps do not allow "move to SD" and some are supposed to lose features even if moving is possible. A developer setting to force moving apps to SD is mentioned in some sources but not present on the S7.

    Is there any option left to enable the feature?

    At this point constantly having less than 3GB left, while my SD card sits at least than 16 of 128 GB is annoying. I am thinking of buying a new phone just to have the 128 GB internal storage, but I'd rather first try salvaging the S7.

    At this point rooting (requires resetting the device) and custom ROMs (same) are all acceptable.

    AOSP - I don't really understand it. Is there any phone that could use the pure AOSP code? If so, wouldn't I be able to have updates for years?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2021 10:29 PM PDT

    As I understood it, AOSP is the pure Android source code, most companies like Samsung, Nokia, Xaomi.. then use the AOSP code to customize their phones.

    However, is there phones that could run pure AOSP?

    If so, wouldn't I be able to have updates for years?

    I don't want to buy a new phone because a company stopped updating a phone that is only 2 years old for example. I think mostly of security bug patches in this matter.

    Phone randomly telling time

    Posted: 09 Aug 2021 01:30 PM PDT

    So I was listening to music with my earphones plugged in and randomly the music stopped and a female voice (Different from my google assistant!) Told me the time! It freaked me the hell out. I have no idea where it came from. Then I said some stuff and it said something along the lines of "I didnt catch that". So I ran AVG AntiVirus 3 times (everything was fine), and I disabled mic for google assistant (since I dont use it anyway) but It happened again. Can someone help me?? Im scared of listening to music with earphones now.

    I have a moto style 6, and whenever I press anything on my phone, the phone begins pressing a bunch of random shit

    Posted: 10 Aug 2021 12:01 AM PDT

    How exactly do I fix this? It's really annoying, and makes even using my phone extremely difficult. My screen is pretty clean, and I don't have a screen protector.

    OnePlus 8T-- Has anyone experienced a bug in the OP software that prevents taking and sending Instagram photos?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2021 10:35 PM PDT

    Hi all. I finally committed to an 8T last week after much deliberation and was initially satisfied. I purchased a brand new, unlocked model and transferred my number in store at my local T-Mobile where I also received very professional help porting my data and getting the initial setup taken care of. However, within a couple days I noticed I couldn't take or send photos on Instagram due to some kind of bug or conflict with the software. I can swipe to the camera function but as soon as I click to capture a shot the camera freezes the image but gives no option to send or edit. If I clear the image to try again the camera goes completely dark, still showing the Instagram options, but with a blank image as if I were covering the lens. For some reason, the same problem does not occur when using the front facing camera or when holding down the capture button to take a video.

    I've tried all the troubleshooting I can find including reinstalling the app, restarting the phone, checking for updates constantly, wiping and then reinstating the permissions, clearing the cache, etc etc. I've spoken with OnePlus support and worked through each of their suggestions with the exception of a factory reset. One suggestion in a google search suggested the bug might be within the time zone settings, which I have also tried to no avail. OP customer support who encouraged me to open a report in the community forum, and filed a bug report with Instagram as well. No responses so far. The bug is specifically affecting Instagram as all the camera functions in Snapchat and Whatsapp have worked perfectly fine for me.

    I purchased this phone specifically for some of it's features like dual sim and storage capacity because I'm leaving next week to go abroad for 3 months. I'm going on tour with my band and I will absolutely need to use these Instagram functions for promotional posts as well as expected social media usage.

    Has anyone had a similar issue or have any suggestions for what I can try? I researched OP phones extensively prior to purchasing but I have absolutely no idea what I would get to replace this phone that would have similar features for under $700.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
