    Mom was told her phone will stop working next year due to network upgrades

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:39 PM PDT

    Hello All, My mom got an email from ting stating

    "The four major US carriers are shutting down their older networks in favor of newer LTE and 5G networks. Your phone (the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL) lacks the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology to make calls over these networks. As a result, your phone will begin to experience issues such as dropped calls, failed connections and general poor call quality. It's unlikely that your phone will work at all on any major network after the end of 2020."

    Is this just saying only one feature will stop working and thats it? She should be able to still make calls using regular cell signals right? Also general cell data should still work right? Seems insane to think that a network upgrade would just make millions of perfectly functioning phones obsolete. Are there even any budget phones with 5G modems on them? I thought that was just coming out with the latest wave of flagship phones.

    [moto g7] every time I get a group text, I have to download it manually

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT

    So I got this new phone [moto g7], and I'm on a couple of group texts... however, everytime someone texts in the group text, it doesn't download automatically... I have to do it one by one. It sucks, and when I download them, they go in the group out of chronological order, so it is just a huge mess.

    Anyone has been through this and know how to fix it?

    How do I stop incoming calls whilst I'm on the phone? S10

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 06:56 PM PDT

    I have a very large and extended family who undoubtably have extremely poor timing, calling me whenever I have important phone calls, I can be on the phone for sometimes a hour to two hours at a time for work and they obviously forget I'm busy and will spam call me like no tommorow. I'm sick of the constant beeping in the back ground when im on the phone. Is there a way to adjust my settings so that when I'm on the phone, my call isn't disrupted and just auto forwards them to voice mail? Any help will be appreciated. TIA

    HTC\TWRP - Touch input disabled in recovery

    Posted: 01 May 2020 01:31 AM PDT

    I have the T-Mobile HTC U11 Life and I have been following the rooting guides for it. I have unlocked the bootloader and I am now trying to install custom recovery TWRP. I have tried flashing every image of TWRP that I could find for my device even those linked in the guides and they all have the same problem. Touch functions are not working in recovery so I am unable to interact with TWRP and it has me really frustrated.

    Can anyone familiar with the HTC U line, HTC in general or TWRP help me figure out how to fix this?

    Again, I am using the HTC U11 Life T-Mobile/US with Android 8 (2.15.531.21).

    Posted: 01 May 2020 01:25 AM PDT

    So I'm in a rural area right now and my mobile data seems to be working fine at day, but ar night i just start getting 2g nothing loads. So I was wondering if there are any settings or any apps to boost my signal strength or mobile data speed. I use Samsung Galaxy A8 2018.

    Edit: Also I don't want to buy any boosters, they seem to be too expensive

    Phone keyboard isn't letting me use phone.

    Posted: 01 May 2020 01:17 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm not sure what to do about my phone. I downloaded a keyboard last night and I can't get the phone to work now. It won't let me scroll down in my settings to delete any apps. I want to reset the phone but can't get to the part of my phone that will let me do that.

    Is there anything I can do? I've managed to delete the keyboard app but it still hasn't stopped.

    Samsung A30 restarts randomly. Tried ALL troubleshoot but no good.

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:13 PM PDT

    My phone (Samsung A30) started to restart randomly ever since a minor update from android 9 (currently android 10). It restarts in any app, even when it is locked. Also, sometimes when it restarts, after it booted, some apps are continuously crashing to the point i have to restart my phone. A few days ago, it restarted and got stuck on the logo. After a half an hour, a text saying something is preventing the device from booting up normally so a factory data reset is needed and I did. During the reset, it shut down and boot up in safe mode but it was already RESET but it still asks me to do another reset after i finish the setup. I did reset again and it still restart randomly. I try doing troubleshoot. Went into safe mode hoping it is caused by a bad app but turns out its not since it still restarted in safe mode. Tried factory data reset. Tried clearing the cache partition. All of these did not work and still facing the problem up until today. Could this be a damaged internal memory? Corrupted/damaged firmware? Or a hardware defect? There is no physical damage to the device as I am very careful on it nor it was submerged in water. Please help me since this was the very first phone i bought myself. Thank you.

    Yellow tinting on Samsung A50

    Posted: 01 May 2020 12:07 AM PDT

    When I have my phone in the dark mode setting, there is a yellowish tint to the black. This can especially be seen when taking screenshots where the photo would be extremely yellow. I tried turning the dark mode off and switch to the white but the screenshots would still be yellow. This happened around 2 software updates ago before the updates my dark mode and screenshots worked fine.

    I keep getting a pop-up asking if I want to improve location accuracy. How do I stop it?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 11:04 PM PDT

    https://imgur.com/a/wSFNvKS Here's a screenshot of the pop-up. I have never seen it before, but today it appeared about ten times in the space of an hour. I've tried restarting my phone and I've disabled location services entirely multiple times.

    Back to back updates normal? Happen weekly?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:17 AM PDT

    I recently switched to the note 10 plus after being on iPhone for 10 years and this phone is amazing after a day with it. But this morning I woke up and had an update so I did the update and took about 5-10 minutes. Right after that was done I got another notification saying to update the phone like 2 minutes after the other update finished and it took about the same time if not longer. I like my phone in the mornings is this a weekly thing for android?

    Family Link Question

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:58 PM PDT

    Does anyone know if at a certain age you can remove family link from your device? I paid for my device and its plan and my parents still put restrictions on it so I'm wanting to know when I'll be able to remove them. Also, will they be notified if I remove them? Thanks in advanced and sorry if this is not the right subreddit for this

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:43 PM PDT

    I currently use a samsung galaxy s7, and it lags horribly doing anything with graphics(obsessed with google earth) , and it comes with bloatware. I am looking for a phone that will not lag, especially on google earth, and has a long battery life. Thinking of going with a motorola phone, not sure which. Thanks for the help!

    Any way to keep Android apps from being killed after idling for a while?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    I currently have a phone with 8GB of ram running Android 9, however, I never saw my phone utilize more than half of its ram(the highest was around 3.9GB). When I'm using my phone in a session, I can open a lot of apps, but there comes a point when the phone has to kill the last app used from the recents bar. That's not the main problem though, as I noticed that after putting my phone down and not using it for 3 or so hours, most of the apps I used previously disappear, with only 5 or so apps remaining. Any way to maximize Android ram usage? I'm on LineageOS 16 if that's related to my problem, but I'm pretty sure it's a problem with Pie since this is the reason why i flashed.

    Such a shame too since my last phone (Asus Zenfone 3 running Oreo) never closed the apps from the recents (I know since I can come back to an incognito session in Chrome weeks after). It had to reload them, but never cleared them.

    Thanks.

    SoC production process vs ARM-Cortex cores on said SoC

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 03:10 PM PDT

    Hey Reddit, hope someone can help shed some light on SoCs.

    What's the difference between the production process and the use of older architecture ARM-Cortex CPUs?

    The MediaTek Helios P35 is fabricated on a 12nm production process but uses ARM-Cortex A53 cores which are 20nm (AFAIK).

    How do you save slow motion videos?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:59 PM PDT

    My kids were playing around with my wife's phone (Pixel 2 XL) and recorded some great videos using the Slow Motion feature in the default Camera app. After recording them, they went in and adjusted the start/stop of when the slow motion actually takes effect. How do we save the video after the changes they've made? We first tried plugging it up to our computer and copying the files off, like we do with our pictures. But, the entire videos are in slow motion, not just the part they selected. We also tried backing them up to Google Photos, but got the same result, the entire videos are in slow motion. Is there not a way to save them so that just the selected portion is in slow motion?

    How do I set S10+ text tone separate from notifications tone?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:17 PM PDT

    Basically what is says in the title. I have a Galaxy S10+ and I'm trying to set up a custom ringtone for text notifications only while leaving the default tone for all other notifications. I'm using google messages as my texting app if that helps. Kind of a noob question, I know, but somehow I was able to do this on my S7 without issue and now I cant figure it out on my new phone.
