    How long will Samsung update phones?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 07:38 PM PST

    I'm in need of a new phone. I still have a nexus 5 and aside from not getting updates, so tons of things no longer work as they should, it would be fine. I'm not looking current flagship so I've thought about getting a couple generation Samsung. I don't want to be in the same position next year though. How long do they usually keep phones updated?

    I've considered some of the Motorola phones but the website says not all features will work with at&t.

    I'm around a $400 budget

    Wondering what to do if I Brick my Nextbit Robin

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 04:41 PM PST

    Hi,

    I'm fifteen (probably not worth mentioning), and I'm getting the Nextbit Robin tomorrow on Christmas. Like I've done on my current phone (Moto G3) and my brother's tablet, I'm going to install LineageOS when I get it. The software on the Nextbit Robin is an aesthetic abomination in my opinion. The launcher sucks, the notification shade sucks, and the battery life apparently sucks as well, but the processor isn't bad. I've done a ton of research on this device, and it's fairly easy to install a custom ROM onto it. But this is an expensive gift (for my family at least), so I don't want to ruin it, especially the second I get it. My parents won't be able to replace it, and there's no warranty as of July earlier this year.

    So let's assume the worst case scenario. Say the USB connection drops when I'm either unlocking the bootloader or flashing TWRP. What would I do to fix it? Or, say the device is just plainly bricked, and I can't do anything with it. What could I do to fix it?

    I would really appreciate some help.

    Thanks,

    -Cameron

    Downgrade From Encrypted Galaxy S4 to S2 via Sprint

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 07:47 PM PST

    My Samsung galaxy s4 is unusable at the moment. I thought I had a permanently pressed power button, but it turns out the switch is broke and just keeps rebooting the device. I have an old S2 as a backup phone, but I just realized it doesn't even have a SIM card. Will Sprint let me revert back to an S2 or is it too old now? Also my phone is encrypted for work purposes. Can Sprint still retrieve phone numbers and other data?

    Installed new sd card and now music app is all mixed-up

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 09:45 PM PST

    I upgraded my sd card in my s7 edge, and I use the pulsar+ to listen to my music. Normally I browse from the Song menu to hear the most recent music I downloaded. But since transferring over my songs from one sd card to the other, the app is ordering the songs out of place. what should look like this, in the app looks like this

    How do I fix this? Thank you.

    If I use Google to sync my contacts, will my contacts be able to see my Google account's name, avatar, email or other info?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 02:19 PM PST

    This seems like it would be straightforward, but I can't really find an answer. When I send someone a text containing an image, and I open the image, it shows my Google account's name above the image. If I open an image in a text from a contact, I see the name I've assigned to that contact above the image. Do contacts just see my phone number, or the name they've assigned to me, or does Google use my account info to fill that in for others? I like to keep my personal Google account separate from family or colleagues, so this concerns me.

    Help - Nexus 5x crashed and won't turn on.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 06:37 PM PST

    I was just using my Nexus 5x, and viewing Snapchat stories, and then all of a sudden the phone froze. I waited a few seconds and nothing happened, so i turned it off.

    Now, it is stuck in a bootloop, and nothing is happening.

    The phone ran fine until this point, and was running the latest version of Android, not rooted or anything.

    Does anyone have any idea on any ways to fix it? I really don't want to have to buy a new phone, being as I've only had this one for a year.

    Big update for Snapchat for Android coming?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 11:51 AM PST

    So I've been hearing everywhere about the Snapchat app for Android being redeveloped, but I have yet to see any official notice or details about it. Does anybody know anything about this?

    p.s mostly asking because Snapchat drains my battery like shit, uninstalling it gave me almost double my past SOT.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 07:50 PM PST

    This.

    I have no idea why this started. It was just like this today. Anything I can do that doesn't include a factory reset?

    How to disable "USB device connected" Notification? Or stop it from popping up?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 07:11 PM PST

    https://imgur.com/a/FRX1T <--- Picture of the issue

    I got the Lenovo Jedi Challenges headset, however I have been unable to use it as I get this notification popping up when I plug it in.

    The problem is the way the headset is designed the phone has to be fully inserted into the device for it to be plugged in, therefore I cannot press the ok button to get rid of the notification. I am unable to do anything.

    I can get about 1/8th of the screen out but tapping on the screen is not making the notification disappear either

    No internet, can make calls, Verizon phone with Sprint service??

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 07:11 PM PST

    Hello guys, after about 5 hours troubleshooting I'm gonna break down and ask for help.

    I have a Verizon Samsung s8+ that I use on my Sprint account. I can make and receive calls and text messages, but browsing using chrome, google play store, and picture messaging does not work. The people at Sprint are little to no help, however I know this has to prob be from their side or a setting in my phone. Any help is appreciated. Let me know what I can post to help you troubleshoot.

    How does doze work ? Having really bad drain overnight.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 10:14 AM PST

    Lately i've been having a battery drain. I haven't installed any new apps. I'm on 8.0 with Dec security. Before I used to get like 2-5% drain over night. But now it seems like it's constantly draining. https://i.imgur.com/wVtPTdS.png It saids doze is working but going from 50% to 25% isn't exacting dozing. I've wiped the cache. I rather not do a factory reset. Anything else I should try? Thanks

    Google photos is taking up around 10gb of my Gmail accounts space. How do I know which file is using up that space?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 11:57 AM PST

    As the question implies, I don't know which photo is free to upload and which isn't. Everything is together and I don't know which I need to delete/lower resolution. Anyone know how I can go about doing this from the app?

    Does removing chrome from Oreo break something?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 10:10 PM PST

    I want to switch to lighting browser, but I've heard that there are custom tabs and chrome is used now instead of webview. Is it safe to disable chrome on Android Oreo?

    How to get rid of the circular icons and get my normal icons back on Nova launcher?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 09:50 PM PST

    The fact that icons are inside of circles is ridiculous. The beauty of Android is that every icon can have it's own unique shape. I got the circular icons for the Google apps a while ago, but I partly bandaged it with icon packs. I just installed Shuttle for the first time in a while and this https://i.imgur.com/g1J8NBz.jpg is what it looks like. The shuttle icon is beautiful, but this is just hideous. How do I get rid of these circles as a whole and go back to using the normal icons?

    Edit: without an icon pack. I just want to take the icons out of circles.

    First time it happened to me was yesterday. Changed it last night back to normal wallpaper and by afternoon today the red tint was back. Red tint is on both home screen and lock screen. Why does this happen? Is my phone ok?

    HTC U Ultra worth it right now?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 01:24 PM PST

    Soo I own a Nexus 6p with a little cracked screen issue but its still very much usable but my parents decided to surprise me and get me U Ultra for Christmas.

    I was very surprised since I remembered the pretty bad reviews it received. I think It's like 1/4 of the price it was when it came out but should I not tell my parents that this probably wasn't the best decision? 🤔😬

    Which battery app?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 06:35 PM PST

    Linkme: better battery stats

    Linkme: gsam battery monitor

    Given the fact that Google made the poor decision to remove a bunch of data from the battery graph, which is a better app to use to get this graph data back? Gsam seems to be updated more, but bbs has the graph data I'm looking for. Does gsam have graph data like nougat used to?

    P.s. I'm referring mostly to the bars under the graph that showed when your screen was on, device was awake, etc.

    Whatsapp back up / Lost number Samsung S6 Edge

    Posted: 24 Dec 2017 06:22 PM PST

    I need to find a phone number for an old friend, I last messaged them in March, on WhatsApp and when tidying my phone and deleted the conversations with them. I realise now that I also deleted their number.

    If I have backed up my chats will I be able to retrieve a chat from March? Or is there another way to get retrieve a number?

    I've tried looking through the folders on my phone, but am a touch clueless regarding how to use the files saved on android.
