    What is this rectangular icon in the status bar?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 08:24 PM PDT

    I am using Android 9. In the status bar, on the upper right corner, there is a rectangular icon which is always displayed. Please have a look at that icon. I rebooted my devices several times, but it doesn't go away, it stays there.

    What does this icon stand for? How can I get rid of that icon?

    Pay a total of $300 for a replacement Pixel 2, or get a new phone?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 12:22 PM PDT

    The OG Pixel was my entrance into the Android world but I certainly have no reason to be loyal to the brand. Is there something better out there worth the money? I'm worried I'll only get another year out of a "new" Pixel 2

    How does internal storage micro SD work on Android? (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite)

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:36 PM PDT

    Hello! I own a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (64 GB internal storage), and I just bought an additional 64 GB micro SD card.

    Obviously, I expected to have 128 GB available for internal storage. However, after I configured my micro SD card, only the internal storage (64 GB) was still available on the file manager. I could see that my micro SD was connected by going to "Settings -> Storage", but I could not access it. The same when I connected the phone to my PC via USB: Only 64 GB "visible".

    Initially, I thought this was due to not migrating the files from internal storage to the SD card, then I did it. After 40 minutes, my files have been migrated, aaand: still only 64 GB available, but now only my SD card was visible on my File Manager, and my internal storage was not visible anymore!! When I connected the phone to the PC, now only the external SD appeared, with the files that have been migrated!

    When I go to "Settings -> Storage" now, both the internal storage and the SD card are full of files, as if some of them were duplicated (see picture here: https://ibb.co/4P2mRRX). I think the system is still on the internal storage, since I can eject the SD card, but most of my files become inacessible when I do it. And what's worse, now my phone is super slow, because of the SD card velocity!

    I really don't understand what happened here, but now I want to configure my SD card as portable and use it only to keep my photos and music, but how can I undo the file migration without screwing everything up? Any help will be appreaciated!

    How to know how many bluetooth device can I can connect simultaneously to my phone? (Mi 9)

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:25 PM PDT

    As the title indicates, is there a way to check/know how many device can I simultaneously connect to my phone?

    Another question is that, I have an Airdots and I wanted to buy a Bluetooth Gamepad. Question is can they be connected simultaneously without any errors? (eg. interference between the two)

    SMS messages (from one person, mostly) bypass my Textra app, and only are received by the stock SMS app. LG V40, T-mobile.

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 08:58 PM PDT

    There is one person whose texts skip my sms app (textra) and show up in the stock sms app.

    Annoyingly, on my LG V40, I cannot send messages with the stock app if it isn't the default texting app. That wasn't the case with my last phone (V20).

    The weirdest part is it isn't 100% of the time. Just like 85%. I've asked, and they are using an android phone, and it has switched in the middle of a conversation while they said they were in the same location and using the same device.

    I have had other contacts have messages skip textra as well, but very rarely, it's almost always the same person.

    What might cause their messages to go through and bypass textra?

    What are useful apps you have found that don't track you or collect data, and easy on battery/cpu?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 12:23 PM PDT

    Even since i first bought the Galaxy S1, i thought i'd forever have tons of apps right in my pocket, like compasses, hiking maps, radios, dictionaries, travel guides, star maps, planet guides, web cam feeds of mountain steams, and endless others........right in my pocket. But for me, after going through my newish Note 8 phone and deleting all of the apps which collects and sell data, track you, sell data, aggregate partial data sets, id you, ask for contacts, etc, or use too much battery/CPU, I have few apps left.

    Heres the apps i have currently that satisfy the big 3 issues i think a lot of people have. Privacy. Battery. Performance.

    • GoneMAD Music Player (have to opt out of data collection)
    • NASA apps
    • Sky Map
    • XDA LABS
    • LTE Discovery
    • F-Droid (open source version of Google store focusing on open source apps)
    • Music Player Go (from F-Droid)
    • DuckDuckGo browser

    What helpful apps do you use that don't track or collect data?

    ------------------------ side comment -----------------------

    Today i realized that Just time time i spent researching what the extent of all the tracking is, its implications and what to do about what already been previously done, a process i feel has possibly just begun.... has undone quite possibly ALL of the benefit and time saving i ever got from using Google's free stuff.

    Heres the New York Times article which woke me up about this. I mean, IS THERE a weather app that doesn't track your every move and sell it to the highest bidder?

    RAM

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 05:36 PM PDT

    so I am interested in buying a Galaxy Tab S6.

    there are two variants, the 6gb RAM and the more expensive 8gb RAM.

    is there really that much of a difference in RAM space for online schooling(word/excel/powerpoint) and gaming/emulation with entertainment?

    in what situations would I want the 8gb of RAM, and should I instead save the 80 bucks and get the cheaper 6gb RAM?

    My phone keeps forgetting my Do Not Disturb settings

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 10:31 PM PDT

    Any ideas why they might be? Just earlier on I set it to allow alarms only but no media or touch sounds but then I just went back in to review the settings and it had them all unticked again.

    I also had set my phone to allow any starred contacts but again it had gone back to default.

    I haven't so much as restarted my phone today.

    [Samsung s8] What does "lock this app" in recents do?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 08:52 PM PDT

    Edit: not recents, but in app switcher, I think. I don't know what it's called.

    It doesn't seem to do anything other than a lock icon appearing in app switcher. I can switch between apps even when I lock the app.

    Hi, here is an image: https://i.imgur.com/9AP92qm.jpg

    Essentially, I am notified far too often for a product that I most certainly have not won, nor have ever put in my calendar.

    I feel like such a boomer. I have no clue how it got there nor how to remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Which flagship phones is better? Samsung or Google?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 09:31 PM PDT

    I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge since it was released and I'll get a new flagship phone from Samsung or Google within a year or two but just curious which company got the better phones. I want to make the right choice if I'm gonna spend over $1,000. iPhone could be an option too but I'll wait and see.

    Help me with continuous updates.. S9

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 05:13 PM PDT

    Pardon me, I'm an apple user. I bought my GF an s9+ and it's been uploading security update after update all day. I think we're on 10 right now of what I believe is a total of 26.. Is this for real?

    You literally can't do them all at once or just jump to the end? I'm surprised as I would suspect this issue must have some simple solution.

    Please help or at least let me know this hell I'm in has no elevator out.

    Wife's LG X Venture, 15 months old, went dark (screen black, alarms still going off). Mail to LG, go to local we-fix-it place, or just get new phone?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:38 PM PDT

    Not sure how it happened but I assume the light went out. At 15 months I assume it's out of the warrantee period? Looking for advice what to do.

    Where to find a USB C hub/dongle like this?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:38 PM PDT

    Hey there, I was just wondering if anyone knew where to buy a USB C hub that has an aux port and a USB C port next to it? I found an image of this Benks product but I haven't been able to find it online. I've put the link for the image below. I would just like a dongle without the bendable cord bit, I think a hub that plugs straight in would have less issues with breaking.

    Dictation software that allows corrections on the fly

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 09:58 AM PDT

    This is what I would like to do (I use Oneplus 6).

    1. I want to dictate a letter.
    2. I want to be able to make corrections by hand when there are errors in dictation.
    3. I want to save the outcome into a file.

    I have tried Otter Note but it does not seem to be able to do 2. Is there any software that allows 1-3?
