    Xiaomi Redmi 4A vs. ZTE Axon

    Posted: 01 May 2018 07:34 PM PDT

    Hey r/AndroidQuestions! I was wondering if any of you experts could perform a detailed analysis of both of these items, and whether you think either of them is significantly better than the other. I'm on a pretty tight budget, and this is my first phone (I'm late to the party :P), so I was looking for some friendly advice on which one you think I should pick.

    If you guys have a budget recommendation that you think is better than either of these phones, feel free to post them and I'll take a look.

    I live in Toronto, Canada, by the way.

    I deleted 400MB worth of content on my phone, but my phone is telling me I only have 70.9MB left of storage?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 11:10 AM PDT

    I had 8 hours worth of music on my phone for work tonight. I really was looking forward to enjoying my music but for some reason it didn't remove all of it?

    Not quite sure what to make of it.

    Any ideas?

    edit : just refreshed the phone on my pc and now its saying only 2MB left.

    I'm really confused because my blu r1 has 8GB of storage and the only app I have literally 0 apps installed on it. So I have no clue as to why this is happening.

    Apple Music restarting songs when paused for more than a couple minutes

    Posted: 01 May 2018 06:38 PM PDT

    I just moved from an iPhone to a new Galaxy S8. I know everyone loves Spotify, but I prefer Apple Music. I deliver pizzas on weekends, and whenever I make a delivery, I pause my music before getting out of the car. When I had the iPhone, I'd hit play when I came back and the song would resume, but with the S8 it restarts the song. When I open the app, it doesn't remember the artist page I was on and starts me back at the Library page... This makes me think that Android is killing the app when I pause my music, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

    Thanks

    Posted: 01 May 2018 01:21 PM PDT

    Does it cease to exist? A galaxy s3 l owned was destroyed into pieces. What happened to the android os and all the pictures and apps when it was broke? Is it like when a person dies the data can never come back? (I really need those pictures back btw)

    Google Pixel 2 XL or Samsung s9+

    Posted: 01 May 2018 07:44 PM PDT

    I have been looking into both phones and finally leaving iPhone behind. I'm tired of the slow charge. Bestbuy has a deal going where they take $500 of the pixel. I used to be into samsung phones but man they would always get laggy after a while. The s9+ looks really neat with many features. Any suggestions please.

    Asus ZenFone V has a problem with Snapchat image darkness?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 07:37 PM PDT

    I have the ZenFone V(the cheap one for Verizon, not ZenFone 5) and I am getting an issue with Snapchat that I have been unable to find any troubleshooting help online with. The default camera app has no issues front or back. In Snapchat, however, my rear camera is way too dark, while the selfie camera is perfectly fine. Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Pics for reference: rear cam in Snapchat - https://imgur.com/KP2ESFU selfie cam in Snapchat - https://imgur.com/tlU4w0z

    I reinstalled Snapchat already and still have the same issue.

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus "ghost touches" problem unsolvable?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 07:18 PM PDT

     Hello, my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus from Samsung and AT&T has been acting up over the last few days. It seems to have the "ghost touch" issue (opening random apps and touch screen being oversensitive), which seems to be unsolvable (in my case). This issue occurs without and with the case on. I've reset my phone, done the " *#2663#" thing in the dialer, and adjusted the sensitivity, all with no luck. I do not think it is something wrong with the display itself since it is OEM and was replaced only two months ago. Turning my phone on and off seems to help, but the problem comes back after 3-5 minutes. Please help, this is my only non-obsolete phone which I use every day.

    Split Bluetooth between apps

    Posted: 01 May 2018 10:36 PM PDT

    I've been researching this and can't find anything. So I drive for Uber/Lyft and what I want to do is play Pandora or whatever through my bluetooth stereo connection but I don't want my GPS constantly interrupting and ruing the rider experience, so I want to play the GPS directions (and calls) through my headset.

    My Galaxy S8 is able to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time but the best separation of audio I can get is calls to the headset and media to the stereo and they won't both operate at the same time (getting a call means the stereo gets no audio signal until I hang up) Is there a setting or an app out there that will do what I want? I know I can use a second device but I'm trying to avoid that if possible. Thanks!

    Songs playing in the wrong order.

    Posted: 01 May 2018 06:12 PM PDT

    I just upgraded from an Iphone 4 to the LG G6 so I transferred all of my Itunes music files onto my new phone. Everything is good except I found one problem. In the album Here Come the Runts by Awolnation in the Music Player app, the phone plays track 3 "Sound Witness System" before track 2 "Passion". This normally wouldn't be a problem but track 2 fades into track 3 so they are literally the only songs in the album that have to be played in order. I know I can make a playlist and put them in the right order but I would rather play it straight from the album. I don't have it on shuffle and I've tried restarting the phone, making sure the file names on my computer have the correct numbers in front of them, and even writing 03 in front of Passion and 02 in front of Sound Witness System in an attempt to trick the phone into switching the songs back. The extra annoying part is that when I view the details for the songs it says the track numbers correctly, so it knows that Passion should come first, but it still plays Sound Witness System first. I've checked a few other albums and can't find anything else out of order but I haven't checked everything. What are the odds that my phone would mess up the only songs where the order matters. Any help is appreciated.

    Delete phantom app from dirty install

    Posted: 01 May 2018 09:27 PM PDT

    Moto G 2014 (Titan), LineageOS 14.2 + Micro G (Micro G build)

    Installed from stock via a dirty install (dumb move, I know). Have since encrypted data. I went to install an app from F-Droid (previously installed from F-Droid) and it says an app with that signature is already installed.

    I have root - how can I find and erase the existence of said app so I can actually install it?

    Best News App/Aggregator?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 08:56 PM PDT

    So I've tried a number of news apps, but they all have pros/cons

    What I'm mostly looking for is an app that will notify me of local events -mostly emergency (accidents/fires/police activity) but also anything important (planned events in the area).

    Being able to update based on location would be a nice plus.

    Losing Hard Drive Space on an LG Stylo 2.

    Posted: 01 May 2018 08:47 PM PDT

    Over the last 3 days I've been losing hard drive space inexplicably on my 1.5 year old LG Stylo 2.

    I haven't added any apps, updated any apps, or downloaded any serious files. I've dropped from having roughly 2.3GB to 530MB free space over this time period.

    Very annoying. Any idea what's causing this?

    Problems with cell service on OnePlus X

    Posted: 01 May 2018 05:34 PM PDT

    Some background info: •OnePlus X E1005 that I've had for about 2 years •MetroPCS on an older plan the no longer sell but continue to support

    On to the issue: Recently I have been having issues with my service provider when it comes to texting and calling, but only with one other person who is on the same network with a different device. I often find that any texts sent from him or calls from his device make it through to my phobe, regardless of my network service status. He will send texts and I won't receive them until I go into and back out of airplane mode. As for calls, he will be sent straight to voicemail when attempting to call me and I won't even receive a notification that he called and I missed it or if I have a voicemail. There's no consistent pattern either. Some days there are no issues, others I don't get anything at all from him. I don't know what to do.

    Edit: If there's any other info needed to help solve the issue, I will do my best to obtain it and post it here.

    Why do I get notifications that apps I haven't been using have been put to sleep?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 09:06 AM PDT

    Like the title says, sometimes I get a notification on my s8 that apps I haven't used in days have been put to sleep. Shouldn't they have been shut off a long time ago? Are they just sitting draining my battery?

    Ringer won't work for calls, alarms, or notifications, Alcatel idealXCITE

    Posted: 01 May 2018 04:36 PM PDT

    Hi, I have an Alcatel idealXCITE and the ringer won't work. I can still hear sound from videos and stuff, but not the alarm, notification, etc. It is a prepaid at&t phone. I have tried factory reset but the same problem occurs. Has anyone seen this? It was working the first few nights but not now. Maybe it's mechanical issue? Any advice would be great. Thank you!

    Scrolling through pictures in messaging

    Posted: 01 May 2018 10:26 AM PDT

    Why on neither my LG Stylo 2 or LG X Charge am I able to scroll through pictures sent or received in messaging? This is a basic feature you could do before we had smart phones without backing out of each picture and selecting the next one. Seems so siilly to complain about but its annoying when someone sends you a big thread of pictures. Is there a simple explanation behind this?

    Is this tutorial of how to adjust the sensitivity of your screen real?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 11:41 AM PDT

    I was linked to this tutorial to change my screen sensitivity.

    It seems like an odd solution to me and I while I did try it I couldn't tell any difference.

    [S9] No volume ramping when connected to Bluetooth headunit in car?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 03:25 PM PDT

    Basically volume ramping for my music works fine on my phone's speakers. When I get into my car I'm connected to my headunit's Bluetooth. I can play music on either no volume or whatever the volume is on the head unit.

    Eg if the headunit is set to 50% volume, and phone is 0%, no sound.

    If headunit is set to x% volume, and phone is anywhere from 1-100%, music plays at x%.

    What do?

    Sony Xperia X Compact Keeps Locking Up

    Posted: 01 May 2018 03:04 PM PDT

    WiFi disconnecting often, what could be causing it?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 08:58 AM PDT

    I thought Blokada could have something with it, but now that I deactivated it, it's still happening. A factory reset might help, but I'd try that as the last method.

    It's sudden, when I'm using or browsing something the wireless connection drops and reestablishes like 10-30 secs later. It's very annoying.

    There are some apps running in background like Mi Fit, LastPass and other IM stuff (Telegram/WhatsApp), but I doubt that they're causing it. I've also checked the router, but the other devices are connected to it fine, without connection drops, it's just mine.

    I'm currently on a Xiaomi RN4X, stock MIUI 9.5.8.0 (Nougat 7.0), if that helps.

    Broke my phone, I need to get the information off of it, help!

    Posted: 01 May 2018 02:50 PM PDT

    I have a OnePlus 2, and a few months ago the screen got smashed. It still worked fine, just had a cracked screen. Couple of days ago the touch screen stopped working, and shortly after the screen itself now shows a black screen with colored lines. I know the phone still works cus the screen wakes up when I plug it in, and I can hear notifications going through. When the Sim card was still in it, I could hear texts and phone calls come through too.

    I have tried everything I could think of to get the information off of it. Yeah, I should have backed it up before, but now I learned my lesson. I've tried just pulling everything off of it by plugging it into my computer, but the computer can't read anything until I unlock the device, which I can't because the touch screen doesn't work. I've tried plugging it into an HDMI adapter to see if I could go through the phone manually like that, but it didn't work. I've tried connecting it to a keyboard via an OTG adapter to try and unlock the phone by typing in my password, but that didn't work.

    Ideally I'd like to have it plugged into a monitor via HDMI and have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected, and go through the phone as I have some important stuff in some apps that I'd have to manually transfer over to my new phone that can't get pulled by connecting it to the computer.

    All help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    How to get factory mac address?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 02:50 AM PDT

    So, to connect my phone to my university's wifi connection, i used to spoof my phone's mac address and put my laptop's mac address on it. Now, one day, i decided to flash a new version of LineageOS on it and after flashing, my phone permanently has my laptop's mac address now. I want to revert my phone's mac address to the factory one, but i don't remember the factory mac address and i have no idea where to obtain it from.

    All the help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
