    My phone updates "feature for chrome" almost constantly

    I'd say 5-6 times a day, I'll get a download notification from play store, it doesn't vibrate but I can see the icon. And in the notification shade it has the downloading animation like any app, but it never ends, unless I slide away the notification. However it returns a few hours later.

    Has anyone else experienced this? I tried googling and found nothing, this is very odd.

    I am on MIUI 10.3.3 if that matters

    So does Google have plans to further make changes to the share menu (mainly removing apps from it)

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 08:27 PM PDT

    I was using Sharedr for the last year before upgrading to 10. I noticed that Google finally fixed the slow load of the menu and has made some welcome changes.

    One big issue remains imo - there are way too many apps that have some sharing option that I do not want to show up as an option. Sharedr let you pin apps so your top use share options were easily accessible.

    It really is ridiculous how many apps have a share option. I could uninstall the apps but I use them enough that it would not make sense

    Oneplus 6 won't boot after flashing Magisk

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 11:59 AM PDT

    I got my Oneplus 6 today, unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Blu Star version of TWRP, so far so good. But when I install magisk, my phone won't boot further then the "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" screen. I can still get into recovery and bootloader, so I removed magisk with a uninstaller zip, and everything works again. Anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to have magisk on my phone

    Thanks in advance

    How to convert YouTube (vanced) to user app from being a system app? I want to hibernate it with greenify.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 02:02 PM PDT

    I'm using greenify to hibernate unused apps along my system to save some ram on my old lg g2 phone and it works good so far. But greenify needs pro and xposed to hibernate system apps and I'm using pie with Magisk. So it's no use to me. I've tried installing edxposed but I had to delete it because it caused a bootloop on my phone. Since youtubevanced is a modified app can we install it as a user app so greenify can stop it when not in use? Thanks.

    Can I update Lenovo S60-w?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 12:48 PM PDT

    I googled a little and saw people were talking about being on 5.0, while my mom's Lenovo is on 4.4.4 and has no update button.

    She asked me to bring back GBoard, but it says that this phone no longer supported, is there a good alternative?

    How to deal with losing a smartphone while traveling?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 05:31 AM PDT

    I travel a lot. I spend more days away than home. In the past two years I lost my mobile twice while travelling (the second time was yesterday), and broke one once.

    I need several mobile-only apps with me all the time. Whatsapp, authentication apps for my banks and my company. When I lose a smartphone while traveling I'm stuck. I'm cut out from all those services until I'm back home.

    What can I do to become resilient to losing my smartphone?

    I've been suggested to install an android emulator on my laptop. It works, but: 1. what if they mug me and take both backpack and phone? 2. having to turn on my laptop and the emulator just to get an authentication code or to use whatsapp is a pain. Is there anything like a cloud android emulator? Any other option?

    I recently downloaded a system update for my Google Pixel 2. Despite having never left my country in my life, my data days I'm roaming. How do I fix this so I can use my data again?

    Pretty much all of the context is in the title, I think. If I need, to get into more detail, I'll reply to comments, as well as add to this post.

    Selfie Stick paired with my Android. So why doesn't the remote control work?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 08:55 PM PDT

    1. My Android exhibited my Selfie Stick ("S") as Paired, under Bluetooth. The Selfie Stick's manual proclaims that the LED indicator switchs from flashing to a solid blue color upon successful pairing, and mine did so.

    2. I fancied using the regular 'Camera' app on my Android ("App") and when I clicked the Selfie Stick's remote control, nothing happened. Why? I can contemplate merely 3 possibilities:

    3. Though my phone is successfully linked to S, I never linked the App and it offers no option to link. But S's instruction manual never proclaims to link the App.

    4. App does acknowledge, but blocks, the S. I don't know why.

    5. S is broken, but this is improbable if the blue light is operating normally (cf. para. 1).

    How to remove new overlay on YouTube videos.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:04 PM PDT

    Started happening today on any YouTube video I play. When you touch the video the overlay to pause skip or back shows but disappears in a couple seconds. But starting today when I touch the video the overlays stays on top permanently and shows an X on the bottom right corner to exit the overlay. Is this a new update? Makes watching videos unwatchable.

    Help! No icons in Drop down menu.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 12:58 PM PDT

    After i got back from a walk today my drop down menu have lost all of it's icons [ https://imgur.com/gallery/ooi8lcP ]

    I have restarted my device several times but nothing has changed. I am still allowed to change the shortcuts around in the icon settings and the slider and settings button works fine but the little drop down arrow in the right corner does nothing.

    Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong or how i could fix this? A bit annoying having to go through Device settings to turn on and off mobile data...

    Internet stops randomly until I restart the phone

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 02:11 PM PDT

    So, I have a Samsung A50 that runs on Android 9.0 (Pie). For the past couple of weeks I've been noticing a problem where even if the phone is connected to wifi, it doesn't work. I have tested that the wifi is working on other devices so it's not a problem with the router. I have to restart my phone every time to get it to work and that too lasts for an arbitrary amount of time and then stops working... then I have to restart it again. The same happens with mobile data.

    Also yes I HAVE tried to put my phone on airplane mode and switch it off to refresh the network but it never works. I always have to completely restart the device. It gets really annoying especially since the phone is just 6 months old. Any suggestions?

    Stuck Trying to Root MotoG5

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 08:29 AM PDT

    I tried rooting my phone (MotoG5) for the first time today and I followed this tutorial:

    https://www.cyberkey.in/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus/

    However after I flashed it, I followed the next step to go to Recovery Mode and it told me "Start Up Failed" and it couldn't load the kernel.

    I know my phone still works because I accidentally hit start when was getting too hasty and it launched normally. When I flashed my phone it told me TWRP was corrupted but forums told me that was normal.

    My phone is currently re-flashed after I launched it normally by accident and still not going into recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated as I want having to set up my phone again to be worth it.

    Unable to mount r/w on on root volume (rooted Pixel 3a on Q Factory image QP1A.190711.020.C3, Magisk 19.5)

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 06:53 PM PDT

    Howdy, hoping someone can shed some light on this.

    I'm trying to edit a few audio policy .xml files to make the system and usb audio sample rate default to 44.1khz instead of resampling to 48khz (more on that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/73v3o6/this_is_how_you_change_the_sample_rate_to_441_khz/) but I am unable to get write permission to edit the files.

    I've tried MiXplorer and Root explorer but cannot mount r/w with either. I've verified they both have SU access.

    The tutorial I used to update my phone and root is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnMYmvKArF4

    Any ideas?

    Atrocious battery life post Android 10 (Pixel 3)

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:57 PM PDT

    Has anyone been able to pinpoint why this is? A quick note: 1) Disabled digital wellbeing (although it's been said this does nothing for battery anymore) 2) Have allowed a bunch of charge cycles and have recalibrated battery 3) Have tried safe mode 4) Have factory reset already

    None of the above seems to net me more the 2-2.5 hours of sot. Carrier services is sometimes a crazy battery culprit, but other times it isn't. Seems like the the "battery usage" percentage are all kinds of jacked up. For reference, I've not even open MyFitnessPal in the last 24 hours and it assigns 5% app usage to it? I'm thinking it's running in background but nope, the option to force stop it is greyed out and it's not in the runnig processes list.

    Honestly, while it's alive I love my pixel 3 but this is ridiculous. The phone needs 2+ charges a day now which is obviously awful.

    Does anyone have any mystical insights into something stupid I'm overlooking?

    Thanks in advance.

    Isudar Android Head unit. How to recovery ???

    Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:55 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I Bought this ISUDAR H53 android head unit a month ago. After having some problem with apps i decided to set head unit to factory settings. After that i got stuck on android bootloop and system stopped booting.
    I tried reseting it via RST button but, that didn't helped. So i think i need somehow to get into recovery for data wipe. None of button combination leeds me there.

    Does anybody now, how to get into recovery mode ?

    i Have video uploaded into youtube, but as im new in this forum, i can't paste it here.

    youtube.com/watch?v=_zYjHY9D0kc

    Tried:
    - various button combination (reset, reset + power, etc)
    - Connect USB male<->male connector to head unit and PC. No response, pc wont find new device (android adb)
    - Solder wires to pins on mainboard GND, VCC, D+, D- and connected to pc. No response
    - contacted seller. He aproved that android is stuck and head unit needs to be restored from update (or data wipe out). Seller asked me for my email, but its already two weeks after this problem and still no instruction what to do. Totaly ignore

    Any sugestions ? Please HELP!!! :/
