    Galaxy Note 9 randomly started skipping songs and acting weird. Now the left side is super hot and the battery is draining quite fast.

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 08:54 AM PDT

    I was just sitting here at work listening to music and all the sudden it started skipping songs and being weird. Did a restart and did not fix it. Left side of phone is quite hot and the battery is draining fast. I've had it for over 3 year. I've had stuff like this happen before but either a restart or force closing some apps fixed it. Nothing seems to be fixing it now.

    Any idea other than a factory reset?

    How to stop my work Google account from accessing my location without disabling it for my personal account

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 08:24 AM PDT

    My boss and I share access to a Gmail account. I need it signed in on my phone alongside my personal Gmail, and I need to keep my GPS on for my personal Google account. However, I just realized that I can use Find My Device to show my phone's location on any device signed into the work account. Can I stop only that Google account from accessing my location?

    Can't find a screen protector for amoled that doesn't affect display quality

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 09:47 AM PDT

    Hi.

    I have a Redmi Note 10s. I've trying to find a good full coverage screen protector for my phone, but none seem to work well. They all leave the screen looking kinda dirty, full of tiny speckles that are specially noticeable on whites. I've had this problem with mate ceramics (plastic), bright (transparent) ceramics and even a tempered glass one. I've beginning to think the problem might actually be in the glue used to stick the protector to the screen.

    Also, I know this is not a property of the screen, since it only happens when it has a third party protector installed.

    Any advice?

    Bypass "The promo has been already used on this device"

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 08:20 AM PDT

    Hey, I'd like to change my device's fingerprint, preferably for a certain app, to bypass device detection. My device is rooted with Magisk, maybe there's a magisk module for the purpose. The app detects that I have already used a promo on my device even after changing the firmware os. Should I try changing build.props? (it's a little risky, and I have unlimited google photos on my pixel device)

    My 256GB Samsung SD Card write speed keeps slowing down the more videos i take. Until i do a format for the card.

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 11:26 AM PDT

    I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra.

    Im facing a strange thing with my 256GB Samsung Evo Select SD Card, Its write speed for moving files was around 50mb/s when i got it, Recently, I chose the storage location as "SD Card" in camera settings, so that most of the videos/photos i take usually get saved on the sd card directly.

    I noticed that the write speed of the card kept decreasing the more videos and photos i take, and videos/photos sometimes take a second or two to get saved after i take them.

    I took the sd card out and formatted it, i didn't know what was causing it at the time, but it being back to normal speeds after formatting i think means the issue could be not related to the card.

    Decided to stick with save to internal storage option in camera settings for the time being, however once again i recently changed it back to "save to sd card" and the issue is starting to come back once again.

    Any ideas what's causing this or if this is a normal thing?

    A question regarding "Wireless debugging" in developer options of android 11

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 11:24 AM PDT

    I recently stumbled upon DarkQ, which allows you to force dark mode on unsupported apps

    I installed it and it said that it requires either root or adb access via Shizuku

    So I enabled developer mode , and enabled "Wireless debugging" and set up shizuku and DarkQ

    Now, I recently saw this adb phone video and couple others (i know I might be a bit paranoid)

    Now my questions are-

    1)is it safe to keep "wireless debuggung" enabled ?

    2)what's the difference between "wireless debugging" and "wireless adb debugging" ?

    3)Completely unrelated, any good open source app lockers ?

    Can I prevent Media Panel/controls from autostarting?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:54 AM PDT

    New A52 user here, Android 11. Love my phone, use Pocket Casts as my podcast player. But I HATE the fact that when I start my phone or reboot it, Pocket Casts (in the guise of Media Panel?), appears in my swipe down menu. image

    I don't use this app and/or any audio application often enough for this to be useful to me and would really like to disable this option. I've searched, tried suggestions from the A52 sub (some hopeful but not successful) and from the Pocket Cases sub (less so...) - all to no avail.

    Hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

    Thanks for looking!

    Sideloading apk via ADB causes error "failed to get feature set: more than one device/emulator"

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 04:41 AM PDT

    I'm sideloading this app to my watch https://apkcombo.com/pinanapp-for-android-wear/com.trigonesoft.pinanapp/download/apk

    I connected to the watch in ADB via wifi just fine using command "adb connect 192.168.1.10:5555 " but installing the app onto the watch won't go through

    I have the apk located in "C:\PortableApps Platform\PortableApps\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" which is also where the ADB exe is

    the apk file I have renamed to PinAnApp.apk https://i.imgur.com/csOaMRu.png

    I tried installing it using command "adb install PinAnApp.apk" but got the error "failed to get feature set: more than one device/emulator" https://i.imgur.com/pjH09S7.png

    Stuck in bootloop, Samsung Galaxy Tab A

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:24 AM PDT

    Hello, my friend gave me his tablet that is stuck in a boot loop with the aim of fixing it. I thought "well shouldn't be difficult, just need to get to the recovery screen and problem solved" not that easy... Pressing volume up and power button simultaneously doesn't seem to be doing anything.

    Any suggestions?

    The iOS 15 Focus Mode/profile setting is fantastic - is there an equally good or better Android alternative ? (The digital wellbeing focus mode sucks)

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 09:34 AM PDT

    I have a pixel and I just don't find the focus mode on Android 11 useful. It just allows 1 schedule and one set of apps. Android 12 doesn't look any better.

    I'd like to be able to have a different setup/profiles based on my situation/role.

    So, different home screens, different people allowed to contact, different apps available, and more customization to app limiting. Perhaps also a timer rather than a schedule setup for a profile.

    So, any suggestions ?

    Is it possible to set/force the phone to use the speaker even when there's a headset connected.

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 06:47 AM PDT

    Hi!

    The normal speaker, not the loudspeaker. Basically I want to use the microphone only and no headphones.

    For example with something like this:

    Mi 11 Lite 5G battery drain

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 06:27 AM PDT

    My battery drains so goddamn fast on this phone, i am using LTE not 5G, dark mode always on and brightness is around 40% ALL the time, yeah 90hz is on but even with 60hz battery is bad. Drains so fast... I am not playing games, using my phone for social media, mails, texts and basic stuff like that and i cannot hit 5hrs SoT.
    I really expected more from this phone in terms of battery, been using it for like 11 days now and i thought that the battery will "optimize" itself by time, but seems like that isn't the case.

    I am on MIUI 12.5.5.

    *also the android system drains A LOT of battery in battery settings, around 20-22%.*

    Block URL, not host name - Rooted SM-A515F, Android 11

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 12:15 AM PDT

    I have some URL, https://foo.bar.com/a/b?foo=...

    How can I block this URL, but only if it looks like this. With the query parameter "foo". I know, I could block the host name foo.bar.com, but sadly a lot of other functionality relies on that.

    I don't care, if I have to write Code (C/Java), I have knowledge of GNU/Linux, so I could partially transfer it to android.

    Is there anything I could do besides adding my own certificate (To decrypt https-traffic) and add some background service that blocks it, if it looks like it goes to this URL?

    Apk not installed error, can't play a game I downloaded. Please help.

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 06:11 AM PDT

    I'm unable to download a modded game I felt like picking up again because of an error. It works perfectly fine on my old Samsung, but is having trouble being installed on my new OnePlus which runs on Android 11.

    Well the exact reason the app is not being installed is because of this, is there something I can do about this ?

    Looking to wipe all data from my Samsung Galaxy Tab A with a busted screen

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 12:10 AM PDT

    Hello there!

    So, like the title says, my tablet Tabitha's screen is busted after my friend dropped her from the kitchen counter. No cracks, but just impossible to revive. I didn't find it worthwhile to get the screen fixed, and instead we went halfsies and got me a new tab, Topaz. She doesn't get to go outside unsupervised any more.

    However, old Tabby has now just been sitting in my cupboard for months. So I thought I'd clear her out and maybe resell her. I know it wouldn't be a lot - but at least clearing both the digital and physical space will be nice for my mind.

    What I've tried (which isn't a lot, heh):

    ~ I've tried rebooting her even with the cracked screen after leaving her to charge for a while. My Google account still indicates that Tabby's inactive since when she broke, so that didn't work.

    ~ since my Google account is still linked to Tabby, I tried Find Lost Device. Unfortunately I didn't have that properly set up, so I couldn't gut the data with this method. I haven't unlinked my Google account from her yet, just in case someone knows a way to utilise it.

    I've read about the 'Android Data Eraser' app, but I'm not really familiar with it or if it's malware for my computer and I don't wanna risk Saphira without having more knowledge first.

    That's the main gist; happy to answer more questions if they'll help with advice. I hope someone will be able to help me put Tabby to rest proper. Thank you in advance, kind folks!

    Can You Snooze/Dismiss Alarms/Timers With Wireless Earbuds?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:49 AM PDT

    I've tried every combination of touches on my Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro but nothing works. Is there even any code in Android for some standard way to snooze/dismiss like there are for wired headphones? Do they plan on adding it in 13?

    OT: Can you do it on iPhone?

    Advice on security of Android 9.0 devices

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 04:49 AM PDT

    Our company started issuing rugged Android tablets to field workers and while they seem like an incredibly robust device, they only come with Android 9.0 and the manufacturer has already confirmed that they're not releasing any further updates for them (neither feature or security updates).

    Having said this, how safe do you think it is to begin rolling out more of these devices that will probably remain in service for 4-5 years?

    Note: they'll mostly be used in Kiosk mode under tight MDM policies.

    Something is trying to make shady connections

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 07:42 PM PDT

    My boyfriends phone is a pixel 4 XL. Newer version of android so stricter permissions. I'm an iOS guy so I'm not entirely sure how to see which app on his phone has been trying to connect to what URL. Something is definitely reaching out to shady sites but I'm having trouble determining which app it is.

    How can I see what app tried to reach a specific url?

    Backup all account access in Google Authenticator?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 02:50 PM PDT

    I'm worried my Pixel 3 is going to get bricked since many others are experiencing this lately, and I have a lot of accounts hooked up to the Google Authenticator app on my phone. Other than going through each account one by one and removing the Authenticator, is there a way to transfer the entire Google Authenticator to my PC or Macbook, or back it up in some way?

    I don't want to lose access to all these accounts if my phone bricks. I know there's an export button, but it won't let me take screenshots of the QR codes it generates, and it's unclear if these QR codes expire. I don't want to assume that's gonna work, and then be screwed when it doesn't.

    I have a Google Pixel 3 running Android 9. Thank you!
