    Phone as computer headset

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is a way to connect my Galaxy s10 to my laptop and use it as a headset with mic on calls from the computer?

    Thanks!

    Keep screen on with an app?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:29 PM PDT

    Sometimes I use my phone as a calculator for long periods when I work, that part is great however the screen keeps turning off slowing me down, under normal circumstances this is fine but not when I trying to work.

    I realise I can change the screen time out in the settings menu, but I don't want to have to do that everytime I use the calculator.

    Is there a simple app or method that I can enable first to keep the screen on indefinably until I manually turn it off?

    Thank you.

    Remove file(s) from My Sounds dialog

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:24 PM PDT

    https://i.imgur.com/4wGvHEl.png

    This is on a Pixel 4 running Android 10

    Image shows what I want to fix. Remove files (such as the duplicate I accidentally double added) from the list above. I added these files both by hitting the blue plus icon, and by copying them to the "ringtones" folder on the internal storage of the phone

    Bonus points for anyone who can show me where, in the file structure or "emulated storage" I can find where these My Sounds live. I have noticed that the "My Sounds" section when browsing for sounds will show different things depending on if choosing a text, phone call, or other type of notification. Similar to how the "Pixel sounds" category has different sounds depending on if you go to it while picking a ringtone versus a text tone. I noticed this when I tried to pick my oldschool "AOL" sound for e-mail, but it didn't show up, even though it clearly does inthe image, when I'm trying to select a custom ringtone. Very confusing

    TIA

    How do I remove Firefox on Android from autofilling the url/search bar with websites?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:43 PM PDT

    two related examples:

    when I enter ho, it autofills to hollywoodreporter.com

    when I add a t, it autofills to hotnewhiphop.com

    It selects everything that I didn't type so it isn't as bad as it could be. It's annoying because instead of autofilling with what I want, it autofills with something I don't.

    Accidentally Bricked Samsung Phone, Can't get into Recovery, but can enter download mode. How to factory reset?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime MetroPCS 32 GB Model Number SM-J727T. I screwed up by doing a dirty flash (forgot to factory reset) while rooting. And of course it's bricked. But the stupid thing is I can't get into recovery. However, I can access the odin download mode, but without the factory reset, the flash keeps failing. This means its soft bricked and there's possibly a fix. I've asked many people on reddit for getting into the recovery, got many combinations but none of them work. I didn't find a TWRP flash so no luck with that. Is there any way to factory reset or access the recovery mode using a computer or any method. If I need to use another operating system, thats fine, because i have a mac, and pc and a linux machine running ubuntu. Please Help, because its my only phone and I can't afford getting a new one and cant send to a repair shop.

    C302CA battery

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:08 PM PDT

    Good evening! My C302CA's battery either somehow became disconnected or is completely dead. Crosh showed it at around 30% a few months ago but I've had it roughly three years so not totally unexpected. I tried to always charge between 10%-20% and unplug by 90%. I don't even have the battery indicator anymore as it only turns on with an external power source.

    What are my options for replacing the battery? I watched a few YT vids on opening up the computer and have built a few desktops but laptops are a totally different beast. Not to mention how thin this is having only really had desktop replacements in the past.

    Anywhere that's reasonably priced that'd do the battery swipe for me? I live in NJ if that matters at all.

    Crossposting in similar Android groups to get as much info as possible.

    Thank you!

    Recording the police.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew how I would be able to record a video on my android phone that will go directly to a secured cloud account.

    This is so that even if the police were to destroy the phone, the video would still be available on a seperate database server to ensure the integrity of the situation.

    Please don't mention the "mobile justice" or "hands up 4 justice" apps. These apps simply don't work. I believe there are police districts lobbying against this technology, because literally all of the different apps that are supposed to do what I'm describing simply don't work anymore.

    Very suspicious if you ask me. If you know a workaround, please describe it, thank you!

    Make screen turn on when I remove my phone from my pocket.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    Maybe someone could help me here, there was an app or something I had setup on one of my phone years ago that would make the screen turn on when it's removed from my pocket or when the sensor is uncovered. I know that's not much information to go off, but I'm sure you smart rooters could help me :D

    Best rugged case for S20 WITH built in screen protector!

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 06:43 PM PDT

    Hello. I am on the hunt for the toughest possible case for my Samsung S20 with a built in screen protector (not a stick on, but something that is a part of the case).

    I really don't care how it looks as long as it protects my phone and phone screen. I honestly wouldn't care if the case was the size of a brick and looked like a turd, as long as my phone was safe.

    I also don't care if I lose a bit of functionality for phone safety. Like I don't need the fingerprint sensor as long as my screen is protected.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    P.S. I have had both otterbox and LifeProof break on me from what I would consider normal use (one litterly broke while it was in my pocket with no heavy blows etc...) So I don't really trust either of them, plus they don't have a model with a screen protector.

    Use cases for old android phone.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 02:20 PM PDT

    I have one low power android device running Android Jellybean 4.1.2 with Touchwiz on top. I was looking up on Google to use it for some good project but all I got was the usual IP camera and Music Player and stuff but I am looking for something unusual. I do have root on it and 512MB of RAM and I am cool with using tasker as well. Please someone suggest what would you've done if you were me with plenty of time at disposal due to the pandemic lockdown. Stay Safe everyone.

    How Do I enable screenshots with power button + volume down?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    I did a full reset on my samsung A50 a few weeks back and I can no longer take screenshots via power button + volume down, only by swiping my hand across the screen which is really annoying. Anyone got a fix for it?

    Problem with huawei y9s

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 04:10 PM PDT

    Hi there. I bought my mom a new huawei Y9s a couple of months ago.

    Today she showed me the phone, and the screen was completely dead, there's still sound coming out of it, but I couldn't find the problem. When I took a look at the camera lens, there was some fog over it. I cleaned it up from the inside of the phone. But still, there was no sign of the screen being on.

    I tried restating it, cleaning it and putting it in rice.

    I finally gave up, so please could you help me out with this problem. I can't go outside to fix it because of quarantine.

    Thanks.

    Decent Affordable Android Phones

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 12:21 PM PDT

    Looking for me and my fiancee to go on the same phone plan (leaning T Mobile, currently on GoogleFi). As a result looking to possibly buy a new phone. But my question is are there any decent affordable Android Phones. Most phones seem to be either at the extremely low end, or at the high end. I currently have a OnePlus6T/OnePlus6. I mean back in the day you got the Nexus Phones/ and previously OnePlus used to make a decent phone for an affordable price. Its just annoying that this is the direction most manufacturers on Android are goin. Rant Over.

    How do games recognize which device I am using?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I have a quick questions for all of you knowledgable people.

    So I'm playing a game on my android device, I buy gems regularly, now, I changed my phone and when I tried to purchase something I got an error saying I need to switch back to my old device.

    I did find an solution after contacting the game support but it made me wonder, how do the games know which device am I using?

    Can they actually track your IMEI/IMSI or what? Isnt it kinda illegal to track your IMEI, how do they do it?

    I don't think it' data/cache because it works even if you factory reset.

    Can I have problems if game developers actually got ahold of my IMEI?

    Thank you in advance everyone!
