| What Have I missed (returning to android from apple) Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:19 PM PDT I was an avid android user back in 2012/2013 (Sony xperia). I loved the customization especially when I rooted my phone and under-clocked it when not in use to lower battery consumption. However my family were big on the cult of apple and I ended up getting a few iPhones along the way (accepted them because why say no to a free and good phone right? Also made things like sharing chargers much easier) Well folks I've gotten a bit tired of apples proprietary crap and have gone out of my way to come back to android. What have I missed since I was gone? (Moving from iPhone 6s to a mid range android). I'm already liking the fast charge, the mega sized batteries etc but what else? I've also noticed a few major brands like htc vanishing. What can I look forward to back in the promised land of freedom as it were ;)? [link] [comments]  |
| Dual sim and diseappering gmail Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:33 PM PDT Samsung A50, just this morning installed the android10/oneui2 update. Once it installed i got to my lock screen, logged in and got to the home screen. One second later i got a window that said "dual sim enabled please restart" i clicked okay and it restarted. Everything is fine, i ran a security scan on mcafee and in device manaher just in case but it was a ligit system message. My phone to my knowledge is single sim. Is there anyway i can find the settings page for this and turn it off or just investigate? Why did it enable after the update? P.S- Before I did the update likr an hour before i was scrolling through my emails and reading them, i clicked on one and it disseapered. Since this was in my inbox i check spam, trash and archived to see if this was there. It wasnt so i just moved on. I did a system and mcafee security scan and they both yeiled no results. Any explanation or need for worry? TL:DR- phone auto turned on dual sim, just confused on why and how and an email disseapered after a breif click from inbox on gmail. Should i be worried.

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:38 PM PDT Long story short, daughter tried to unlock phone while I was asleep, it went into factory reset. Any software or anything i can do to recover the pics I had with her? Seen sketchy reviews for Dr.fone so would rather stay away from that. I use the photo app that comes with the phone. Should be samsung but unsure [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a way to run Android10 gestures with third party launchers. Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:06 PM PDT Is there any way to PROPERLY enable the android 10 gestures with a third party launcher? I really wanna use a custom launcher like lawnchair 2 or Nova. I tried the adb command that force enables gestures (adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural) but the recent apps menu doesn't work, just home and back gestures. I want an actually usable option. My device is Mi A3 running Android10 with May2020 security patch. [link] [comments]  |

| Gestures not working after switching launchers. Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:30 PM PDT I recently switched from the default emui 9.1.0 launcher to rootless pixel and to save space I deleted the default launcher. Now I am no longer able too use the swipe up gesture, all the other ones work as well as three button mode. Any fixes? [link] [comments]  |
| Android 4.2.2, LG Smart TV, and Netflix help Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:14 PM PDT This is going to be a convoluted one, but here goes. I bought a used LG 6400 Smart TV a while back. It runs on a modified version of Android 4.2.2 (you can actually get to the Jelly Bean Easter egg on a TV!). There's a built in Netflix app that works well with the remote. Recently, the Netflix app has started loading, before hitting a blank white screen that says "file not found." I have tried unplugging it, connecting to different WiFi, clearing the cache, disabling and reenabling, and even factory resetting the TV. Because it's on Android, there's a Google play store, but downloading Netflix bizarrely gets a different app. The downloaded one has a white logo, instead of the TV's default red one, and doesn't work at all with the remote - you have to use the pointing feature like it's a Wii remote. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas that could help get this built-in Netflix app to work again? I don't know what community to ask for this, and it's niche enough that there's nothing on Google. If someone solves this they'll have my unending gratitude. [link] [comments]  |
| Will an unlocked docomo phone work in the U.S. with at&t? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:13 PM PDT I really wanted a disney mobile docomo phone, and I found a few on ebay. It is unlocked but will it work in the United States with at&t? The models I was looking at are DM-01H and DM-01J (the disney models). [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:10 PM PDT I'm on a OnePlus 7pro with T-Mobile. This just started happening a few days ago, but some of my apps are now in black and white. Twitter and Instagram are both doing this to me. There's no color in either of the apps. Pictures and video are black and white. Text is white with black backgrounds. I've tried turning off any sort of dark mode and battery saver features, to no avail. Any idea what's going on? [link] [comments]  |
| Designs of Old Flagship Phones Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:20 AM PDT I recently saw reviews of old flagship phones like HTC One M7/8 and Nexus 5 and relised that old flagship phones were very sexy and there was a lot of innovation that used to happen in terms of design. Whereas flagship phone nowadays, they all look same. I personally think smartphone industry need a big change in phone design department. Does anyone agrees with me? Also, do you miss the designs of old smart phones?? [link] [comments]  |
| Help transferring bookmarks between browsers? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:03 PM PDT There has to be an easy way to move your bookmarks into a new browser. I'm currently using Brave Browser, and the biggest thing keeping me from trying anything else is that I don't want to lose my bookmarks, or have to manually move them one by one (among others, I have a ton of recipes saved). Is there an app to help with this? A website? I can't imagine I'm the only one who finds this to be a hassle and wants to try a new browser without starting from scratch [link] [comments]  |
| Where can I download the Hangouts Ringtone? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:48 PM PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-CMGm7lRR0 I can't find it anywhere. My dad really likes this one! Found it!Download the Hangouts APK https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/hangouts/hangouts-34-0-314821282-release/#downloads Rename the .apk extension to .zip. If you use Linux or 7-Zip, Winrar etc just extract the file and search for "Cy.ogg" [link] [comments]  |
| YouTube playing in a window MIUI 11 Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:48 PM PDT While using YouTube I used to be able to open another app (a puzzle game or browser) and it would open a window I could move around. Google keeps suggesting it's the floating window feature but I couldn't resize it, just move it. Today it stopped working. Any ideas? Xiaomi Mi9T Pro running MIUI 11.0.6 [link] [comments]  |
| How could I stream my phone over wifi, to my PC, with no root, and with Remote Control. Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:53 AM PDT Hey. Before I had my current Zenfone 6, I had a samsung s6. With it, I could use an app called SideSync that samsung provided, which allowed me to stream and control my phone from my pc. I was wondering if it's possible to do that with any android. I play this game called Fate/Grand Order that doesn't boot up when the phone is rooted, so traditional options didn't work. USB Debugging will stop the game from launching too, so I must do it over Wi-Fi. The game is a pain to transfer over devices so I don't want to switch to an emulator either. I want to simply stream my phone's screen to my PC, and have control over it with the mouse. I know this is perhaps too much to ask, but I don't want to pay for this service either. I know of some apps that allow all this if you pay for the premium versions, but I don't trust them to work. I've tried teamviewer which supposedly would work exactly as I described and it didn't work, so I'm not very confident. Thanks in advance for the suggestions. [link] [comments]  |

| Downloaded an Android Update & Now the Notes App Won't Load Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:19 PM PDT I downloaded the most recent update from Android on my phone (Galaxy J3 Star) and ever since then my Notes App (which is crucial because I use it for organizing my life & it has important stuff like original lyrics on it) won't even load. It's been two weeks and I've tried restarting it multiple times but it doesn't load. Can anyone help me restore my notes? [link] [comments]  |
| Is getting ads on Android common now? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:18 PM PDT So I'm planning to update an older low end phone to a current low-mid end one, since i've seen some talk about getting ads on notifications and lockscreens, is it normal getting those on android now? Is this a problem with some brands only? How do I avoid it? [link] [comments]  |
| Rcs over data sim in dual SIM setup? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:17 PM PDT Just want to know if this is possible? I have a pixel 3a and I am getting visible for data, and have Google fi for phone/texts. My problem is I don't get very good service in my area on any of the carriers fi uses, but I do on Verizon. If I'm out and don't have service with fi but I do with visible I would like to have the messages come through. I've messed around with hangouts, but Its not a perfect solution either. Really I just wish visible reliably sent me my texts/calls and I wouldn't even have bothered, but that's out of my control. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:05 PM PDT I use a mainstream US VPN provider just for a tiny amount of anonymity on the web, and so my cell provider can't see every site I go to. I just feel like that's an invasion of privacy. I also figured that if I tethered another device to my phone, it would just look like normal traffic from my phone. I used to use it on my home internet, too, but I don't have that now since I'm traveling. But today, quite by accident, I learned that the WiFi hotspot feature on my phone is ignoring my VPN connection! I ran a speed test on my tethered PC just to see what I get and was alarmed that it said "AT&T Wireless" as my provider instead of some random ISP name my VPN vendor uses. If I search "my ip" on both my phone and PC I get different results. Why is this possible? Why does tethering traffic go around the VPN? I've been tethering like this for months. Ever since I learned that I can get full speed if I tether a DD-WRT-equipped router to my phone instead of my other devices directly. If I tether my devices directly, I get capped at 128 kbps speeds. Presumably because Cricket can figure out that they are not requests from my phone. I knew about PdaNet for a long time, and that gives me full speed, too, but it's flaky, I would have to reconnect a lot, and only works for some devices. I tried using my router in split client-router mode for a reason I can't even remember and was really surprised that doing so gave all my devices full speed. So now I have my tablet, PC, and even my Roku tethered to my phone through my router. I figured since my phone used the always-on VPN with "Block non-VPN traffic", I was fine. :( So, now I'm worried that my provider (which is actually Cricket which uses AT&T networks) is going to catch on that I've been tethering. They supposedly only allow it with "compatible phones", and with a 15 GB limit. (I think you can pay for more a la carte.) I used over 100 GB of tethering just last month. It's not unreasonable to use that much as a heavy phone internet user with streaming video, heavy reddit app usage, and miscellaneous downloads, so I figured my VPN gave me plausible deniability. Well, not any more. (I can use OpenVPN from within the DD-WRT firmware to negate the issue going forward, but that doesn't really help now, since I'm sure they have logs.) How fucked am I if they figure it out? Could they drop me without warning and make me lose the phone number I've had all my life? And why TF does Android not use my VPN for tethering traffic?

| Help with transferring contacts via Bluetooth Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:39 PM PDT I am trying to transfer all of my contacts from a phone with Lollipop to a phone with Pie. I tried following a guide which says to go into Contacts and click More, then select Share, but I do not have a Share option there, only Settings and Delete. How do I get the Share option to show up?

| Any custom roms for dedicated MP3 player? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:20 PM PDT Wanting to turn my old phone into a mp3 player. Is there a rom that is just for that? Edit: if not what would be the best rom? [link] [comments]  |
| What is this and how do I remove it? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 04:47 PM PDT So I was talking with one of my coworkers and he showed me a problem that he was having with his phone, a floating icon that when tapped opens up a menu, is always there and is often in the way. It fades after a while but if you tap the spot where it was it activates. Anyhow, i'm here to ask what would I do to disable or remove it? and what enabled it in the first place? [link] [comments]  |
