    I've tried resetting, clearing caches, wiping google play services, disabling google backup. Nothing. Any input here would be great, I'm trying to figure out if an exchange is warranted.

    My brother's android security patch level is on 1 December 2017.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 03:54 PM PDT

    Emui version is 5.0.1. Android version is 7.0 Phone is Huawei P9 lite, model number is PRA-LX1.

    His phone is identical to my other brothers, except one had the latest update. How can I check for or force an update on his device?

    We've gone through the conventional route of checking for updates on the phones update option, it searches and finds nothing.

    IP settings won't stay on "Static", reverts to DHCP immediately

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 05:10 PM PDT

    I own an unrooted Note 9 and I want to change my DNS settings.

    To do that I either need to change my wifi settings and set my IP to static, or I need to use a 3rd party app. My router doesn't allow me to change DNS settings unfortunately.

    Problem is whenever I change my IP settings and press "save", it goes back to DHCP immediately.

    What could be causing this? Also are there any alternative ways of changing my DNS settings?

    Related to a post on r/Android, question about Oreo and Pie features

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 10:07 PM PDT

    I was browsing r/Android a while ago and came across this post.

    This post got me thinking because I'm still on Nougat and I was already browsing for new phones before I saw it.

    I know the post talks about Android Q, but I haven't been completely up to date with Android versions, so my question is: Do I lose any features when upgrading from Nougat to Oreo or Pie?

    Notes:

    • I use a wifi toggle widget
    • I use a file manager heavily
    • I use a bluelight filter (overlay)
    • I often rely on a clipboard syncing app
    • I've never used call recording and probably never will

    Screenshot auto opens editor

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 09:12 PM PDT

    On my old Samsung Tab A whenever i took a screenshot it would automatically open the edit tool so I could crop or draw whatever I needed. I recently got an LG Q7+, and when I take a screenshot I have to go to the notifications bar and click on the screenshot to edit it. I can't seem to find a setting that lets me automatically open the editor. Is there a way I can do that on this phone?

    Whatsapp Service killed in background, not receiving messages

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 02:52 PM PDT

    I've had this problem for a while. I dont excactly remember when it started, but its been present through multiple updates.

    Problem: My Whatsapp gets killed when its in background and i dont receive messages until i launch the app. Sometimes happens with Gmail too.

    Ive read many threads about this problem from many sites, but none seems to have solution. Ive tried taking off ALL battery saving modes, allow all permissions for app, allow all notifications, allow data use... Everything i can think of. I cant pinpoint what is causing it, because there is days it might happen once, sometimes its happening all the time. Happens on 4g and Wifi. While charging and while on battery. There is no clear reason for it. Ive tried re-installing app after fully resetting and uninstalling them.

    Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F

    Android version: 9, One UI 1.0, not rooted

    Has anyone had same problem and if so, any solutions?

    Calls and texts across devices? Google voice?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:25 PM PDT

    Looking for a way to seamlessly get calls and texts across my Android devices. One solution that comes to mind is Google Voice. Would I be able to make and receive calls and texts across devices with this? Another option that comes to mind is Hangouts but that would require Fi I'm pretty sure. Also, does anyone know of Google Voice works with Google Home speakers as well? Thanks!

    Camera failed error message Samsung S7 Edge

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 07:49 PM PDT

    A few days ago my camera stopped working entirely. When I try to use anything that requests the rear camera, it either crashes, or comes back with "Error: Camera failed". I tried every software issue listed in youtube videos and websites, eventually caving and wiping the phone, but to no avail. I tried an app that never requests the rear camera, only the front, however, and it worked normally. This hints to me at least, that it is an issue with the hardware. My gut tells me to open up the phone and replace the rear camera with a new one. Would this be the way to go? Would this be likely to fix my issue? I would just like to know that, before I go through with this, that I'm not being a complete idiot. Oh and the carrier is Telus Canada, if that matters. Thanks!

    ES File Explorer NOT showing up in Google Play Store!!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 03:21 AM PDT

    When I search it, only dodgy knockoffs results show up. It's not even in my Library! I had it on another Device, so it should be in my Library. But it's not even there in "all" my apps

    Even if 'twas not compatible with my new Device, it would still show in my Library but it's not.

    I don't have a lot of Apps in my Library cause i don't do a whole lot with Apps. Just a few Games and Preinstalled Apps. And also Facebook. So it being dropped off from the Bottom isn't the Case! I've only got 28 Apps (not counting ES File Explorer) in my All Apps library.

    Any Ideas on why it's not showing up? I liked it cause I can give it Root Access

    Some questions on the S8

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 11:18 AM PDT

    I want to buy a used unlocked/verizon s8. I see some on ebay that are good prices, and gizmotrader, but are there better places to look? Also when they say cosmetic damage does that mean the screen itself could be cracked too? Or would that be specified in the listing? The post will say "B condition, some scratches". I was also considering a pixel 2.

    Reset app notification settings in Android Pie

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 10:38 AM PDT

    I recently upgraded from an Axon 7 on Oreo to a Redmi Note 7 on Pie, restoring from the backup saved to my Google account. One of the things that restored were the app-specific notification settings -- sort of. There are some strange artifacts that suggest things didn't convert cleanly. For example:

    The Messages app had custom settings for my wife. But when I went to the Messages app, selected the conversation with my wife, and went to the notification settings, it created a new notification category for my wife (suggests to me that it didn't "recognize" the existing one), and now I have two.

    The Outlook notification settings are really goofy, with my Google account listed twice, and when I get an email on one account and tap the little settings cog on the notification, the category name that comes up is the name of one of the other accounts (suggests to me that it didn't match the account with the category correctly, when I had to re-set up my accounts in Outlook).

    I'm thinking a quick answer would be to reset Android's per-app notification settings, so that the "legacy" converted categories will get wiped out and apps can re-create the categories as they expect. But I can't find a way to do that. Is there a way to clear out and reset these settings (preferably without resetting everything else on the phone)?

    Syncing USB-C Sony Alpha Camera to Samsung Galaxy?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 10:29 AM PDT

    I've got a Sony A7 camera and I've recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy. Using a weird Apple dongle, I was able to copy photos directly to my camera. While I know there's an app, using the cable was always faster and simpler. I'd like to do the same thing with my Samsung, and it's not working as expected.

    When I plug in the camera it shows as a storage device, but I don't see any way to import into Google Photos. How can I get this to work? Thanks in advance!

    Is it a new feature that when recording a video, once it reached 33.1 minutes on 1080P resolution, it will continue recording on a new file?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:45 AM PDT

    ...32 bit mode? How do I switch to, uh, 64 bit mode?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 05:25 PM PDT

    I downloaded AIDA64 and it said my Samsung Galaxy J7 Star was a 64 bit model in " 32 bit mode ". I can't find anything in settings on how to change it to 64 bit mode, if you can. Anyone know what's going on?

    Changing the way google play music displays on lock screen.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:23 AM PDT

    So this is likely a very dumb question, so I'll apologize up front. For the longest time I carried an old Galaxy S3 on me because all my music was saved to it, but then I upgraded to an S5 (yep, still old). However, I was disappointed in a very unimportant issue, being the way the music player displays on the lock screen, because the S3 displayed the album art across the entirety of the screen and I enjoyed that. Is there any way to get the music player on the S5 to display the same way, or do I just have to keep what it has? Again, I know this is a stupid question and I'm sorry for asking.

    Music playlist help!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 04:46 PM PDT

    Hello, I have been using android for years with my owned music files. For this particular instance, I downloaded the playlist file from my old device (LG V20) over to my new device (pixel 3a) and the files are useless.

    It only kept one or two songs from each playlist that was copied over. So I decided to delete those playlist files from my phone entirely. Every other day, these playlist names pop up again (with no music in them). Also, when I create NEW playlists, they get deleted within a day and all I'm left with is the title of the playlist with no music in it. How do I fix this?

    If somebody can explain to me how playlists work on android? They have been a forever struggle for me.

    How do I hide recent searches suggestions on the Google app without turning off Web & App Activity?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 04:43 PM PDT

    I have enabled Web & App Activity tracking to properly use Google Assistant, but every time I make a single search, this appears. I just don't feel like having my past searches (and embarrassing ones) pop up on my suggestions. Is there any way to work around this? I'm running Pie MIUI on a Redmi K20 Pro.
