    I found my dead brother's phone Android Help


    I found my dead brother's phone

    Posted: 02 May 2020 04:45 AM PDT

    My brother (25M) was schizophrenic, and he killed himself last year, unexpectedly. He was very paranoid and hid most of his life from all of us, even me, despite living with me.

    This made closure really hard - we had no pictures of him as an adult, aside from his facebook profile picture, we didn't know who his friends were, and most importantly, we don't know if he left us any suicide letter. He certainly didn't leave a hard copy, and I checked his laptop - nothing.

    We couldn't find his phone, until today. He died in my parents garage, and the phone was under a cabinet there.

    We'd really like to be able to unlock his phone to see if there is anything that can give us closure. It's an android with a pattern lock. Can anybody provide any advice?

    Contact List Issue (?)

    Posted: 02 May 2020 10:09 PM PDT

    All of my contacts that I don't have a custom profile picture for have gone completely white from the random colors. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not.

    My Note 8 keeps shutting off in four distinct quadrants. Specifically, it appears as if my phone is separated into four wide CRT monitors and each shuts off simultaneously. Gilt is recurring with each time I turn on the phone on. What's up?

    Phone storage management

    Posted: 02 May 2020 09:40 PM PDT

    I was cleaning out the storage in my S8 (64gb) and things just don't seem to add up. From the file explorer, it seems like I have roughly 14gb in apps, 12gb in media and a few gb elsewhere in the onboard storage. However, the phone cleaner reports that I have 4gb left only which doesn't make sense since I should have roughly 20+gb available.

    Anyway, disregarding that, I went into WhatsApp and deleted around 6gb worth of videos from chats. However, the phone cleaner app only reports that the remaining space increased by 2gb from 4 to 6gb so I'm not sure what's going on and if apps are holding on to storage or what. Would be great if anyone can give insight into why this is happening and what's the best way to trim the useless items from the storage.

    How to restore Titanium Backup to a new phone

    Posted: 02 May 2020 08:38 PM PDT

    I've always backed up my phone and apps using Titanium Backup. I have a new phone that i'd like to restore all my apps to. I've only ever restored backups on the same phone within TB and tbh have always found the UI quite confusing/intimidating.

    My backups are synced to Google Drive so ideally i'd like to just pull them from there and restore. Does anyone have any simple guide to follow to do this?

    Samsung Note 8 resets "Ignore do not disturb" settings to specific apps/contacts

    Posted: 02 May 2020 08:09 PM PDT

    Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 updated to android P (latest patch too) and I have a problem with the option "Ignore do not disturb" for the application Plus (telegram alternative), I keep getting the option disabled randomly and I don't really know why. I have a contract with this option enabled but sometimes I don't receive a sound notification and checking the setting "Ignore do not disturb" I see it disabled. Any way to solve this?

    I don't have root and I didn't try to uninstall the application yet

    How can I bypass the Google Play decive scan?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    I have a Fairphone 3 and want to install Fortnite. But I have 3,8 gb of Ram and not 4 so Google Play says my device isnt compatible. Maybe it wont run, but I´d like to try it. Is there any way to bypass the version scan (At best without root, but I can try with it. I just dont know/ found a good guide to root)? I once saw a video in which someone did this and ended up with the message "This app might not be compatible with your device" but could install it - sadly I cant find that video anymore...

    Thanks for helping!

    Has anyone ever got a virus/trojan on an Android device before?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 07:22 PM PDT

    I know they exist but has anyone actually ever got one? I've been avoiding updating my phone which of course means missing security updates and got downvoted to oblivion for having the audacity to claim a security update wasn't worth me updating for. Either way I got curious, who's actually ever got one? I've seen those ones that have adware popups, not exactly the worst but nuisances though even I have never gotten that myself.

    Question about my Moto G Power (Or Android 10)

    Posted: 02 May 2020 06:42 PM PDT

    On 9.0 on the recent app tab, I could swipe all the way left to close them out. Since getting my G Power with Android 10, I could do this until I put Nova Launcher as the main Launcher.

    Is there something on my end I can fix or is this a potential bug?

    Wife's s10 is doing system updates every 2 - 3 days without prompt

    Posted: 02 May 2020 06:41 PM PDT

    Like the title says my wife's phone is doing a full system update for the past few weeks every few days. It happens at random times and has impacted her work.

    Is this a bug? Can we fix it?

    Factory reset is not ideal as she's not super tech savvy and I have no idea what she's backed up or hasn't.

    which phone cloud provider do I go with?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 05:26 PM PDT

    Hello i have recently moved from iphone to andorid and can honestly say even from a tech nerd aspect that its been so far a bad idea, the first cloud provider i purchased was g cloud witch was a complete scam, clever scam but still a scam, i cannot use Samsung cloud as my note 10 plus doesn't support the carrier or something like that which is really stupid

    my ideal backup for just in case i lost my phone etc would be to have

    photos and videos backed up

    voice memos or anything from the document folder backed up

    notes, txt files backed up

    i would like all of this to be achieved by automatically backing my data up

    i would like to go for the cheapest provider and would only need something like 200gb

    i would like my data to obviously stay in the cloud forever until i cancel my plan

    if i could choose to just backup a few folders instead of the whole of the phone to save space that would be great!

    when pictures or videos are deleted i would like them gone from the cloud as well, to save storage thats another big plus

    also if it can backup app data, settings etc as well that would be good but not essential

    if i can backup one folder or a few files on the pc as well that would be a big plus but not essential

    thank you very much! :)

    Anyone recommend me some wireless headphones w/ good mic?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 04:39 PM PDT

    Yes this is Android related, I'm looking for Android bud type wireless earphones that any of you have personally tried that has a good mic (mic is important to me for phone calls) as tried many cheap alternatives to Earpods/ buds and the mic quality was shocking! Any help would be appreciated and maybe where I can get these from online.

    Why my Samsung thinks it's in another country?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 04:30 PM PDT

    So I noticed this yesterday, when I wanted to add location on my Instagram post and it showed weird places, mostly Bucuresti, Romania. I thought it was just a temporary error so I didn't give it too much attention. Today I looked at my weather app and it showed weather for Bucuresti, I checked gps if it's turned on (tried to turn it off and on again). I checked google map to see my location and my phone thinks it is in Bucuresti. For no reason.

    **I restarted the phone and it's showing location as it should.**

    But I don't live in Romania and I have never been there! (I know sometimes phones get some old location)

    But why did this happen, should I be aware of some misuse or is this a common thing?

    (Samsung galaxy A6, Android 10)

    App that sends location every few minutes to an email?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 12:08 PM PDT

    My car has an Android unit that runs Android 5.1 and installs apks just fine.

    I was looking for an application that will email me a notification every 3 minutes, as the unit has wifi. There are a million Public ISP hotspots with the same SSID everywhere and it works beautifully with it.

    Thanks

    Is there any way to prevent downloaded videos from appearing in my gallery?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 03:30 PM PDT

    It looks off to me since I feel like that should only appear in the downloads(I feel like it was like that once). I guess I can move it to the hidden collection but if I can, I would like to find another way

    Thank you for your time

    What are the best Android Phones for someone who doesn’t care about a camera?

    Posted: 02 May 2020 03:09 PM PDT

    I'm doing some research because I'm looking to break out of the Apple ecosystem. A big reason is the price justification... I feel like so much effort and energy at Apple goes toward the cameras that they ignore what they could invest into screens/performance/refresh rates/etc.

    Now I'm NOT looking for an anti Apple rant, I'm looking for pro-android suggestions.

    Amazing screens/design/gaming potential/performance /strong battery lives- those get me going. I have a budget up to $900, but would prefer to be closer to $600.

    What phones would you suggest?

    Galaxy S9 help

    Posted: 02 May 2020 02:52 PM PDT

    Currently on my old Galaxy SJ7 typing this.

    So I have a Galaxy S9, I would be typing this on it! But the issue it is having is why I am here.

    So since I've updated it, it says "couldn't authenticate connection" and takes about half an hour to 9 hours to connect to any wifi network, whether it be home wifi or work, or even wal mart wifi.

    I don't know if it's because of the phone or the update.

    Btw, I've had the phone since November and this problem started around 4 weeks ago? And has progressively gotten worse.

    Activity overview like Apple has it in its health/fitness app

    Posted: 02 May 2020 02:28 PM PDT

    So I just finished watching a youtube video and saw this cool overview: https://imgur.com/a/tVxLd5Q (the timestamped link: https://youtu.be/nxf41fMX_Y4?t=183)

    It's your activity at a glance and I'm sure there are some options available to adjust how much you view at once/on the screen.

    Is there something similar available on Android?
