    Broken power/volume button ribbon on my Nexus 6 - How to power up the phone?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 10:06 PM PDT

    The power/volume ribbon on my nexus 6 is broken. The ribbon disconnected at the connector in the middle. Can I power up the phone without the power or volume buttons, or do I have to replace the ribbon? The phone is really hard to work on so I am just hoping to just get it working for a few weeks until my new one arrives. Thanks!

    Change notification priority?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 09:41 PM PDT

    I have a VPN and recently got HUE lights, i have a notification set to control the lights quickly and easily, but every time i disconnect from my VPN, the android system notification pushes it down. Id like to keep it in a single spot at the top of my notification bar, is there any way to prioritize it at the very top?

    Having some issues with my S20+ 5G.

    Posted: 24 May 2020 09:38 PM PDT

    Hi. So every time I open my phone, it automatically opens a Chrome tab, usually being one of those scam sites, but sometimes it can also be NSFW, and I need help to figure out how to stop this. I am willing to disable Chrome, if that's possible, but any help would be appreciated.

    Whatvare some interesting things I can do with my rooted galaxy s9?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 03:36 PM PDT

    Backstory: I have two s9s at the moment, the big and small model. Since the small model only has 4 gb of ram and a smaller battery, I decided to install a custom Rom/kernel as well as rooting the phone. (I dont care about knox or warranty) So my question now is, what are some exciting and interesting things I can do now to my s9?

    Something like Niagara Launcher that allows for more than one widget?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 09:28 PM PDT

    I love Niagara launcher and find it amazingly easy to navigate. The fact that your home screen has your favourite apps and that you can access your entire app list using the by scrolling on the right side of the screen is a game changer!

    That said, I would love to be able have more than one widget. My calendar is my current widget, but I also want to be able to add a to do list. I was wondering if there are any launchers that combine the ease of use that Niagara launcher has (especially the navigation) with allowing more than one widget?

    Need help with Custom binary blocked by frp lock

    Posted: 24 May 2020 05:22 PM PDT

    Using a note 9, havent tried to root it or anything and it came up with this problem. Ive tried flashing stock ROM on Odin, but everytime it says it has passed, the phone reboots straight back to the custom binary screen. I have tried the stock ROM for the UK bound to o2 (my service provider) and when that didnt work I tried the stock ROM for the UK and Ireland unlocked incase o2 havent locked my phone, still didnt work. Can anyone help me out, ive look at tens of threads and youtube videos and followed it step by step and cant work out why these stock rom flashes seem to change nothing. Im currently sitting with an expensive paperweight on my desk, please help. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this :)

    Weird issue with Nova Launcher

    Posted: 24 May 2020 09:01 PM PDT

    Howdy y'all. I've got this problem with my phone running Nova launcher, and I'm not sure if anyone else's has been like this, but it's been having conflicts with the default launcher. Like, no matter how many times I switch to Nova in the menu, after an arbitrary amount of time it resets back to Pixel launcher. It especially wants to do this when I swipe up to bring up all my open apps.

    Anyone else have this problem or perhaps might know a solution? I've managed to temporarily fix it by manually swapping to Pixel launcher and swapping back to Nova, but as I said it always swaps back later on down the road. I appreciate any input y'all.

    How to fish out URLs for external playing (like in VLC)? / Browser with external playing function?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 05:15 PM PDT

    My Firefox with a "play externally" extension is working slowly and crashing all the time; Amaze browser from Play Store is "not compatible with my device"; and another one I was recommended, UC Browser, doesn't seem to have that function after all.

    So I'm looking for a browser that does have such a function - anyone know any aside from Firefox and Amaze?

    Alternatively, if I could get the URLs I can just copypaste them into the VLC player and that'd be fine too - as most here probably know, Youtube URLs can just be pasted into the player and played, however with most other sites that doesn't work and you need a different URL that's normally invisible;

    anyone know how to fish those out and copy them?

    Thanks in advance!

    Unlock system notifications

    Posted: 24 May 2020 05:14 PM PDT

    I recently updated my phone to Android 10, and Samsung in their infinite wisdom has decided I am too dumb to control what System app notifications I should be able to disable. Is there any way with ADB [I am not rooted] to change how system apps have permissions in order to enable me to disable notifications I don't want to see?

    For instance I'd love to turn off the notification for DND in SystemUI, I have a DND schedule I know when it's on and off. I don't need a persistent notification to tell me.

    Posted: 24 May 2020 04:41 PM PDT

    Hi there. I use split screen often between excel and Calendar and I used to be able to keep the calendar in Schedule View but now it goes to annoying view with a week along the top.

    I'm on Android 9 on a Moto G7 Power.

    Anyone know how to get the Schedule View in split screen?

    PHONE WONT TURN ON IF IT NOT PLUG IN

    Posted: 24 May 2020 08:08 PM PDT

    My Samsung A5(2015) wont turn on if I not charge it If I doesnt connect it with a charger and try turn it on, it will only go until the samsung logo and then it turn off, vibrate and the samsung logo show up again, turn off again, vibrate and this continue untill it run out of battery or it stop by itself.

    This behavior start when I unplugged the charging cable while the phone is booting up yesterday.(the charger spec is 10w charger from ASUS) I doesnt had a problem using the phone for 5 month since I get it and fyi it a second hand phone.

    Note: i primarily use this for phone as hotspot while I'm gaming on my laptop

    I also already tried to fix it by factory reset the phone but it end up still the same

    Can someone tell what should I do to fix this problem? Should I reinstall android software on the phone?

    If anyone need more clarification, just ask ill try my best to answer your question. Btw English is my second language so im sorry if I make a mistake.

    Edit : I forgot to mention when I go in to recovery mode and then unplug the charger it doesnt turn off.

    Is there a way to use the screen reader on android in a non-accessibility way?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 03:59 PM PDT

    I was watching something and saw mention that iphones have a screen reader feature that can basically be turned on and off at will and use it to read eBooks.

    I tried to do the same thing with my Samsung Note 9 but turning it on makes it really tough just to perform basic use features on the phone. Just kinda wondering if I've missed anything there that it's easier than what I'm seeing.

    Basically just want to have the ability to use it for eBooks have it only read the book text and turn it off as soon as I'm done. But the setting I was messing around with seems to read the whole screen and anything you touch and requires you to double tap everything, and I couldn't figure out how to scroll with it turned on. Just wondering if there's an easy way to do what I want with it without impacting everything.

    OTG Bluetooth on Android PX6 Car Radio

    Posted: 24 May 2020 07:36 PM PDT

    I purchase a head unit however they have lock Bluetooth to only their Bluetooth app which only allows phone connections.

    How do I get into the firmware to allow for me to do an OTG Bluetooth connection using a USB Dongle? When I connect my USB device to the OTG I get no option to use it. I just want to know if there is a setting I can change in the latest firmware to turn it on.

    Suggest me custom ROMs

    Posted: 24 May 2020 06:49 PM PDT

    Hey friends, after completing almost 3 years with my S8 Exynos, I've decided to root my device. My first rooting of android device. Before S8, I used iPhone 5s in jailed mode for the first 1 year and remaining 2.5 years in jailbroken state.

    In my S8, what I'm looking for is extra any kind of customizations, themes, advanced gestures / utility softwares, battery & CPU performance improvement and other root benefits BUT WITHOUT LOSING SECURE FOLDER. Yeah, I've been using it for the past 3 years and I don't think I can live without it.

    I know the basic procedure for rooting (OEM unlocking, Odin, TWRP, magisk) but I'm confused with wide varieties of custom ROMs.

    1. Can you please suggest me a custom rom considering my above requiements?
    2. Suggest me a best interacrive community for S8 root / android root

    Thanks in advance.

    S10 does not connect to wifi.

    Posted: 24 May 2020 03:01 PM PDT

    This problem popped up a couple of days ago. My pc, S8, and Nintendo switch connect without a problem. My S10 does connect to other networks (downstairs Wi-Fi and work Wi-Fi). I already tried a forced reboot, resetting the network setting, cache partition wipe, and opening the phone in safe mode. None of these options worked, before factory resetting my phone is there something else I should try.

    Sudden battery drops

    Posted: 24 May 2020 02:37 PM PDT

    Hi!

    For the last few weeks I had a weird problem with my phone's battery and I hope anyone can help me with it. The phone is a Doogee X5 Max Pro if it helps.

    One day I was using the phone as usual when it suddenly turned off saying there was no power, when there was ~40% left. I didn't mind it too mind thinking it just was a one time thing, until it kept happening everyday. When I extracted the battery I saw it was a bit swollen, so I got a new one. The thing is, the new battery does the exact same thing, but instead of turning off at 40%, it does at 70%.

    Here you can see the instant drop and how it jumps to high when charging it.

    Anybody knows how can I fix it?

    Installing a custom ROM on a BQ Pascal 2

    Posted: 24 May 2020 06:54 AM PDT

    Hello!

    You are probably tired of getting this type of questions, but I couldn't find a clear answer.

    I have a BQ Pascal 2 (an old android table), and I wanted to give it a new life by installing Ressurrection Remix (I first considered LineageOS, but I cannot find a compatible version).

    Now I don't know how to install it. I downloaded the image and put the zip into an SD card. Some sites seem to suggest that I make a custom backup and then install it, but I think I need an extra piece of software to do that (such as TWRP?), but I'm newbie and don't know how to do that and I cannot find clear walkthroughs.

    Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

    Unique sound notification / alarm for emails with a specific subject?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    The optimal solution would be an actual non-stop alarm when an email with specific terms arrives, but a unique notification sound would be fine. Would also be nice if it could breakthrough do-not-disturb hours.

    Gmail used to offer unique notification sounds with Labels, but the feature has been deprecated.

    Is there an alternative? Have tried Tasker, but was never able to get an alert working.

    While a Gmail related solution would be preferred, any email client would be fine.
