    Stupid noob question, just bought a prepaid phone, if i see network bars on the screen, does that mean it already has a sim card inside?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:42 PM PDT

    I bought a prepaid phone. I see bars on the network but everytime I place a call it ends after a couple of seconds. Does the fact that i can see network bars means the sim is inside the phone, and the phone hasn't been activated for service?

    Any app that uses a map crashes - except Google Maps

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 03:08 PM PDT

    This started today - any app that has a map will crash when I run it. Uber, Running trackers, Trails, doesn't matter. If it shows a map it will crash on start. The only app that works is Google Maps.

    If I revert Google Maps to stock version - it also crashes. If I update it to latest, then it works. I tried to delete cache from the bootloader menu, didn't help.

    Samsung S8.

    Help, I really don't want to factory reset.

    Not Receiving notifications Through text for picture messages. (Koodo)

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    So I generally keep my data off but if I happen to receive a picture message through text I'm not alerted. Obviously I can't view it until I turn data on but I'd like to be alerted so I know I received a picture message. I'm using a Huawei P30 Lite. I tested the same thing on my gf's phone (Samsung galaxy s8) and she still gets alerted with her data off.

    Can someone suggest me a repair kit for general Samsung Galaxy phones, or Android phones really, for one person?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 12:56 PM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime with a broken screen, and a broken headphones port, and I'm trying to find a repair kit that is hopefully durable.

    Galaxy S9 running out of space, 34GBs used by system.

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:58 AM PDT

    There's only 52 GBs showing out of the 64GB as it is, and 34 GBs of that are unusable as system data. Is there any way to reduce that? I'm running out of space and it feels weird to have to delete since I bought a 64GB phone and I'm only using 17 GBs

    Android Requiring Password to Start

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:35 AM PDT

    I turned my phone off and back on again, but it's requiring a password to start Android. The problem is, my phone doesn't have a password, it has a pattern to unlock it. I've never had this problem before tonight, and when I try to enter a password, the UI crashes. Any tips or fixes for this problem?

    OP8 Pro vs S20

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 03:39 PM PDT

    Hi, I have the s8 today and will upgrade to either s20 or OP8 pro. I live in Europe so the Samsung would be exynos.

    I can't decide and some of my key concerns are the following (as I've understood it):

    Pros/cons:

    +s20 edges vs -OP edges

    -s20 battery vs +OP battery

    -s20 exynos performance issues vs OP SD or exy in EU?

    +s20 size vs -OP size (I like the size of my s8 but could stretch to a little larger)

    -s20 software vs +OP software

    Was also thinking of getting some kind of wearable and so far the galaxy wearables have sparked biggest interest. Any cons of using it with OP?

    Where I can find info for Android 10 on J4+?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:29 PM PDT

    Posted this on r/android, automod reccomended this subreddit.

    I've recently heard android 10 has hearing aid support and I can hardly contain my excitement! Having sound stream directly to my hearing aids will be a life changer.

    I know android is a bit spotty when it comes to updates. So I figured I'd ask if someone can point me in the right direction as to where I can find information on when the update will come to my phone (Galaxy J4×). Or just a website that'll notify me when it's coming. Or anything related, I suppose.

    Galaxy M20 BOOTLOOP!! Please Help :(

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:25 PM PDT

    Hi, hope you can help me. I tried to root my Galaxy M20 SM-M205M but something went wrong once the Odin finished cause it got stucked on a bootloop. Then i realized that the name of the file i was using was "ROOT-M205F-U1-Android 9 Pie.tar" i guess that was not made for my phone version. After a short investigation i downloaded the SM-M205M Firmware from Sammobile, it came with 5 files and i put each file in its respective field (using Odin 3.14.4) i tried to follow the instructions.
    -The phone is in download mode
    -Im using my original usb cable
    -Odin recognizes that the phone is conected
    -I have the Samsung drivers installed
    But when i hit the start button it says Fail and a sentence appears in the upper left corner of the phone screen "CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 4 BINARY: 3", so now im running out of options, i would appretiate your support, thanks.

    Video Can't Be Played in Drive

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 03:15 PM PDT

    So I have a GP3 and I uploaded a video that I took to Google drive but it just will not play. I cleared the cache and updated the app but it's still not working. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Edit: So clearing the cache worked? It just took a while?

    is there a way to have voice commands for an app?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:53 PM PDT

    I'm using the Udemy app to play videos and I have to start/stop/rewind quite a bit and it's sitting up on a stand as I type. I'd love to have a voice command to do these thing.

    I don't know if the app has voice built in or if the OS can do that for any app.

    The Udemy app is basically a tutorial app that plays videos and has basic functions.

    I'm running Android ver 7 on an Edge S7

    Will notifications still pop up after force stopping the app?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    I want to prolong the battery of my device so I force stop it whenever I will go on a break. (also on dark mode FWIW) The settings for my social media apps are set to high priority (banner, sound, vibration, show on lock screen). Furthermore, I also set them to "run in background" so I won't miss important notifications.

    Under this setup, will I still get the notifications?

    Thanks in advance.

    Phone's signal becomes bad after having it for months?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 02:45 PM PDT

    So this is something that happened to my last phone and has now began with my current one. After having the phone for not even a year the signal starts to get REALLY bad. This seems to be the worst at home no less, no idea why and nothing has changed with the surrounding environment since both phones started having this issue. Nothing I've searched for online for hours helps. Making calls being difficult is one thing, but another is just how badly this absolutely drains the battery. If someone can help or show I'm not alone and crazy that'd really help thanks. My phone is LML414DL by LG. I use tracfone.

    Trying to find a Dock for my mishmesh of a combination

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:11 PM PDT

    Hey Folks,

    I've been an android user since the past 2 years now with OnePlus 6T as my primary device.

    Recently i have expanded my android ecosystem with a Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch and Samsung Galaxy Buds.

    I've been trying to find a dock which can charge all 3 of my devices together, with a possible addon of charging a battery bank.

    So far all i've look at, are designed for the apple ecosystem only.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cannot set Icons to Round - stuck on Square Icons

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:12 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    asked about this a few days ago but it didn't get much traction.
    I hate to persist but being unable to fix this is very off putting.

    For anyone who can help,
    I changed off my theme onto another and my icons changed.
    When I changed back to the themes with round icons, my icons are square.
    To be specific, all my system apps are round but all other apps than that still have a square outline around them instead of a round circle like they used to.
    I can't really remember what setting I had it on for it to be round but upon changing themes back, I couldn't get it again.

    My phone is an Oppo x10 Zoom running the latest ColorOS, Android 9.
    If anyone's got any ideas it would be appreciated so much.

    Thanks~

    Bricked Samsung tablet

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:07 PM PDT

    Hi, I have a 2013 era GT-8010. It's wifi only. I can't remember the password or pattern or backup pin I was using when I was last using this tablet and it's not on my home wifi network, so I can't get around it by changing the password on a different device. Can someone help me, please?

    Playing video files on a TV: Best setup?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:03 PM PDT

    From my understanding:

    Samsung TVs have the best USB video support, but can't play FLAC in video files.

    LG and Panasonic have some support, but they aren't as likely to work.

    Sony and TCL don't support mkv at all.

    Are there currently any TVs that from USB, play:

    10-bit HEVC 1080p video

    5.1 channel FLAC audio

    PGS or VobSubs subtitles

    VLC for Android supports these.

    I tried to find an Android device for decoding video and sending it to a TV through HDMI, but only found "TV boxes", which are used for streaming video from online services.

    I just want a TV or box I can plug a USB flash drive into and play video files, with the level of support that VLC on Android has.

    Is there a way to disable volume limit for Bluetooth only?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:56 PM PDT

    I recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S7 to a S10. While I like the new device, the built-in volume limit now applies to all output devices and cannot be easily overridden. I like having a limit for my 3.5mm headphones, but my Bluetooth devices work best when my phone is at 100% volume.

    Is there a way to remove the bluetooth volume limit? Or perhaps to set different parameters for different devices?

    Would a Samsung Galaxy S7 Be Viable in 2020 (with a Custom ROM)?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 02:55 AM PDT

    I'm considering purchasing a rather cheap (but in good condition) Samsung Galaxy S7 from my mate (£30, in the UK) - I'm not an Android user at all (pretty much stuck to older Nokia non-Android handsets in the past) but was wondering if it was still a viable handset to use if a third party custom ROM was installed onto it.

    Basically all I need from it is the ability to access my GMail account on the go for job hunting (along with the stored contacts I have in it), access to Google Maps along with Internet Browsing (to be done via WiFi only, as my SIM has limited Data) - any input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    Help with Audio Control issue.

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:10 PM PDT

    Hi, recently I've been experiencing some issues with my device where the audio control slider continuously pops up when a wired headset is plugged in. This issue does not persist when the headset is unplugged, and first began happening after I accidentally let my phone die about two weeks ago.

    I have already factory reset my phone once prior after the lower half of the screen ceased working following my phone dying, and I hope to only need to do that again as a last resort.
