    (android help) Any way to get search results to open in a different app?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:05 PM PDT

    I'm trying to make Samsung internet my default browser on Android, the only problem is that when I open up a Google text or voice search, the search results open up in the Google app. How can I get them to open up in another browser?

    5GHz Hotspot on S8 Galaxy Edge

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 01:45 PM PDT

    Is there any wayI could broadcast 5GHz through usb tethering or mobile hotspot with my Samsung Galaxy Edge S8 ?

    Whatever I try I just can not get above 5mbp/s speed while tethering(4g mobile speedtest itself says 150+ mbp/s) and my phone just doesn't have a frequency band option for switching from 2.4GHz to 5GHz.

    I've found out that my phone already uses RDNIS6 drivers so that should not be a problem( I've also tried few different versions of RDNIS6 drivers), but somehow on older J5 and A50 versions I was able to change frequency band in hotspot configuration.

    Messages from me have been deleted on Android device notification?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    I just received a text from a relative saying that they received 3 notifications in a row on their Android device saying that a message from me had been deleted.

    Neither of us deleted anything. Is this a quirk on my end or theirs? Was I hacked somehow or something?

    Thanks

    Okay Google, where are your settings?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:21 PM PDT

    I enabled Voice Access... Very cool!

    I'm a bit annoyed that it kind-of broke Assistant, but that's another topic entirely. This post is about some settings Google promised me access to, and my treasure hunt to find them that has yet come up empty.

    According to Google I should have a plethora of useful settings, specifically for Voice Access. https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6151843

    Easy! Simply open up the Settings and have a go.

    1. Open your device's Settings app ⚙️.
    2. Go to Accessibility, then Voice Access.
    3. Go to Settings.

    That menu definitely does not appear anywhere in the Settings app on my fancy Note 10+.

    I started with a Search🔍 through the settings, then dug by hand through every nook and cranny. The only mention of Voice Access anywhere in Settings is under Accessibility -> Installed Services, where you toggle its permission to use the Accessibility API.

    Searching for individual settings, from the elusive menu proved equally unfruitful, as did opening Google Now to see what settings were internally exposed for Assistant.

    I asked Google for help through Voice Access:

    • "Ok Google, open settings."
    • "Ok Google, where are your settings?"
    • etc.

    I asked Google for help through Assistant

    • "Ok Google, open Assistant, open settings for Voice Access."
    • "Ok Google, open Assistant, how do I change settings for Voice Access?"
    • and on, and on...

    I asked Google for help through Google (with varying degrees of precision.

    • search for 'voice access ~settings'
    • search for 'voice access settings note 10'
    • search for 'google "voice access settings" samsung "note 10"'
    • you get the idea

    I looked for a back door. I don't really get the underlying flow of the Android OS, but I know enough to think about using something like Shortcut Maker (rk.android.app.shortcutmaker from Play Store) to link directly to an Activity for the menu:

    Voice Access shows exactly 2 Activities: Launch and License Menu, neither of which is helpful here. All of the Activities listed under Accessibility seem to be controlled by com.samsung.accessibility. That makes sense because they're trying to inject Bixby in the way everything related to voice.


    My best guess at this point is it's an unfortunate series of corporate oversights.

    First Google pulls voice-control feature into the handy Voice Access app to prevent it getting left out by the whims of manufacturers. Then they promptly forgot this particular menu, still sitting in the OS source, is still subject to those whims.

    Then Samsung, as expected, commandeered the Settings app, threw as much of Google's code in the garbage as they could, and in their made-from-scratch rendition, forgot to fill in some important gaps, i.e. this menu.

    Please tell me there is some way I can get access to these settings.

    🙏

    Thanks

    Hey there

    Basically the title says it all. When i try to play a video on YouTube, Reddit, Instagram or elsewhere my phone just shows me a green screen. Sometimes when I reload the video it works again.

    Is there any way to solve this Problem? Or is my phone just outdated and the GPU cant handle it anymore?

    I have a Huaweii honor 8 (about 3 1/2 years old)

    Thanks for all help

    Double TTS text message notification with Bluetooth buds?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:59 PM PDT

    I'm having a problem that a lot of people are also having for over a year now and wondering if its ever been figured out? I see a lot of old posts but haven't seen any solutions yet.

    I have the original galaxy buds and the buds + and a Google Pixel 2 xl. Android 10.

    -I enabled the notificatons for google messages (text messages) in the wearable app

    -It said I didn't have a TTS engine so I enabled the google Text to Speech in my phone

    -It started reading out the message through the buds, but it repeats every message.

    -sounds like: PERSON NAME, Messages, Text message. (Then repeats again) PERSON NAME, Messages, Text message..

    So I did some research. This has been happeing for over a year at least and its still happening?

    I've read it's a problem specific to google messages and doesn't happen with other text message apps.

    I've also read it was a problem with Bluetooth within google app. Either way, I dove deep into my phones settings trying to figure it out.

    I tried disabling different permissions for different apps, turning switches on and off, clearing caches and data, everything I could think of. Then late into the night just for the hell of it I ungranted SMS permission for Anroid Auto and re granted.

    It worked! It only played the message once! This continued to work today until mid afternoon at work It started repating again. I tried the AA permission again but didn't work this time.

    This has to be figured out, anybody have any ideas or solutions they found??

    Play store not showing apps

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:39 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I'm having trouble in the Play Store. I'm moving a lot of my finances mobile and in the process I was going to download apps like Venmo, Cashapp, and Robinhood. I'm currently in the US but these apps say that they aren't available in my region, they don't even show up on the play store when I search for them.

    I've cleared the cache, allowed my location, updated the play store and made sure my phone is on Android 10. I'm stuck and I don't really want to use a VPN / APK or other methods to circumvent this because I don't want to screw around when it comes to my money.

    I went to the UAE a couple months back and bought and installed a sim card there, is there any chance that has to do with it?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I like to replace my battery after a year or so. However, these days it's getting difficult to do. Which models are the easiest to change? Strangely, this has become a big selling point for me.

    Samsung S8+ Issue

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:22 PM PDT

    The notification bar can no longer be dragged down when my phone is in portrait but it works fine when I switch to landscape, I thought maybe that area of the phone has become unresponsive but it's not true, when I'm on the lock screen the notification bar slides down just fine, it's only as soon as I unlock the phone it stops warning.

    I'm not sure if this is related but occasionally the entire screen becomes unresponsive and unless I turn the phone off and on it doesn't respond.

    This second thing usually happens when I try to press the home, back and recent tabs button.

    The internet was no help unfortunately so far.

    I'm not a phone expert but I tried things I could think of, restarting the phone, deleting junk files that take up space

    Does YouTube autocomplete searches based on read comments from watched videos?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    I saw a random video with some dude with death wobbles in his ford truck. While reading the comments, I noticed a few alluding to the fact death wobbles are a common issue in jeeps.

    Welp, out of curiosity I wanted to see if there were any videos about it. So, I went to search bar and typed in just "jee" and it totally autocompleted the search to "jeep death wobble".

    I've have had this happen in the past with different videos and thought it was a total weird coincidence, but now I'm totally sure it's not.

    Few click always on screen?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:08 PM PDT

    I have an Android 8.1 tablet, I have it set to turn off the screen after a couple of minutes of no activity to conserve battery. I want to start using it as a display for textbooks - is there a few clicks way to make it so the screen is always on instead of having to keep going back into settings to change it, and then revert back to old settings when I am done? Thanks.

    Paired PS4 with Android Samsung S10

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 03:53 PM PDT

    I had this idea to use my PS4 controller to turn pages while reading on my phone's Kindle App, I need the LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW inputs to turn the pages (I know this works because I paired before with bluetooth keyboard)... I paired the controller, but none of the joystick inputs did anything. Any reasons or suggestions or mod tutorials to help my achieve this?

    How do I remove icons from quick settings bar on my Samsung Note 9?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:29 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    Apologies if I'm being dumb (which is a possibility!), but after a recent update (I'm on Android 10) my quick settings panel now has 9 icons instead of the 5 it used to have.

    How do I remove icons from the quick settings panel? When I pull down the panel I only want a maximum of 4 or 5 on there. The current 9 icons are overlapping and it's hard to press the ones I want to use! Since the update there's no pencil icon, only the cog icon which takes me to the phone settings, or a 3-option menu where I can change the button order (but not how many buttons/icons are in the quick settings), quick panel layout (which only has 2 useless options), or the status bar icons.

    All I want is to have the 4 buttons/icons I use regularly in the quick settings bar when I pull down from the top of the screen.

    Thanks in advance.
