    Throw out phone? But can't delete data because phone won't charge

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 09:22 PM PDT

    Hi have a moto that's about 3-5 years old. I think this might be my phone that fell in a toilet and stopped working. Before I drop it off at an electronics recycling center, I'd want to do a factory reset and maybe even use dr.fone data eraser. But I can't get the phone on. Advice?

    Need help restoring off a .bak file?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:25 PM PDT

    Edit! Fixed it. For anyone in the future, or just me again on a later date. B4tman's (on piratebay) cracked 10.0 version worked, got my files recovered without too much trouble.

    Any help is super appreciated ;;;

    I had to reset my galaxy s9+ in a rush, and in that rush took the suggestion I was given of "just backup using some free software", huge mistake on my part. Chose Dr. Fone. Backing up the entirety of my phone went fine! Went through the reset process, fixed my issues, and surprise! "Please pay this 33$ subscription to restore!", gives you a free trial option, which refuses to work. It did give me access to the entire .bak file though, and i'm hoping that accessable somehow.

    If anyone has any solution, or a program that ACTUALLY works with a free trial (or free), I could really use it!! I read a few forums, but nothing seems to give solid solutions. Did I just lose all my data?

    Does bluetooth versions affect battery life?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 01:56 PM PDT

    I know this isn't necessarily an android question but hey...

    So I was checking the developer options when I came accross bluetooth version settings. I was surprised to see that it defaulted to 1.4 when 1.5 and 1.6 was available.

    Why does it do that? Do newer versions of bluetooth take up more battery? Or are there any cons of using newer versions?

    Samsung Note 8 Stuck in Bootloop. Please help Recover or make backup

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:04 AM PDT

    Dear experts

    My Samsung Note 8 SM-N950F Android 8.0 stopped booting all of a sudden. No software update, no modification, nothing. It was working perfectly, I restarted phone and it won't start again.
    When I try to boot it stays stuck at boot logo (SAMSUNG logo) for around 5 minutes and then automatically restarts. It gets quite hot.

    I can access via ADB while it stays in bootloop. I exported logcat. I'll upload if it may help.
    I have around 2.2 GB free out of 64 GB internal storage.
    Never rooted.
    However, it seems like Internal Storage doesn't get mounted. I can't access /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0

    As much as I remember, I had "Allow OEM Unlock" enabled. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin in Download mode, but it fails.

    I'm looking to
    1. Revert phone to working state without formatting
    2. If 1 is not possible, I want to at least make complete backup, something like nandroid to backup WhatsApp data and other stuff.
    Note: I want to recover data from my phone. It has lots of important data. I don't want to simply format it.

    Device: Samsung Note 8 SM-N950F
    ROM: Stock Android 8.0
    Never rooted
    I can boot into Recover and Download mode.

    This is my first post here. If any more details are needed please ask and I'll provide.
    Kind people here please help me fix my only daily driver 😭😭😭

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:41 PM PDT

    So I have a weird problem, earlier my phone had 20+gigs of unknown images (i then found out the problem and deleted it all) and i for a few minutes had 20+ gig of free memeory out of the less then a gig i had orginally... then suddenly my system storage started rising and was rising non stop, it in about a hour went from somewhere about 20 gigs to 42 gigs and now takes up nearly all the storage on my phone and its lagging it out as while ive managed to clear a few gigs (used to be 47 gigs) it might be rising still help! i dont know how to make it go back down! i cleared a bunch of caches (its why its not longer at 47 gigs) and you cant clear system cache it seems...

    EDIT: I may have may have figured out the problem, ive been trying to install a game from a APK and when i click it nothing happens but apprenlty its "shadow installing" as im going to call it and its installing every time i click it but i have no acess to it and its not showing up on my phone (its a app i know i can trust and nothing sketchy dont worry)

    ZTE Z982 Will Not Turn On

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:53 PM PDT

    I have had my phone since Oct. 2019, and today it just stopped. It had about 50% battery, I put it in my pocket, and when I brought it out it would not turn on, the screen was black. I plugged it into the charger, and it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding the power button for about 1-2 minutes, and holding the power and volume simultaneously for a solid minute, and nothing happened. I really cannot afford to replace it, and I have data on there that I can't lose. I plugged it into my computer and it's not recognizing it, does anyone have any ideas?

    Sign in to network message

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:52 PM PDT

    Hey. My buddy has a Moto e5play running android 8.0.0. Most times when they connect to cellular for LTE they see the notification sign in to network. Sometimes it shows other times it doesn't. But it seems like you must select it if you want LTE. Any way to automate that process or is that a bug with 8.0.0? Thanks.

    Galaxy Tablet 4 won't full screen Facebook in landscape mode.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:21 PM PDT

    Asking for my grandma. Portrait mode: no problem. Landscape mode: everything is condensed into a narrow 4 inch feed in the middle of the screen and everything too big to fit is cropped off on the sides. According to her this wasn't an issue until recently. How can I help her solve this issue?

    File format problem

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:14 PM PDT

    I currently have a problem with file formsts, I would want to open/use a ".vid" file on my android, every time i try to open it I get the same "Search for an app to open with on Play-store". I found that I can open it with VLC but I still cant open it by opening the file itself, I need to open it through VLC. Can this be fixed? Ps. .vid to more popular format (.mp4 etc.) converters are nowhere to be found.

    Android Event Logger?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    Hi - I have a standard Moto G6, unrooted, running Pie 9 (security patched to 01 Apr 2020) in the UK. Periodically the phone is either freezing or shutting down. It's unresponsive to buttons or touch, doesn't wake when plugged on charge or connected as a USB device. I have to hold the power button down for a while until it starts or reboots, and then it's fine for a week or two.

    Never happens while being used, and doesn't seem to follow any pattern. I put it down somewhere, and next time I try to use it I discover it's dead. No demanding gaming or whatever, I can't imagine it's overheating. I did a factory reset but it's continuing. I've checked memory status but there's no obvious leak or hole.

    I guess it's probably a rogue app, but diagnosis by trial and error would take months. I need a function (within settings or as an app) which can provide a recoverable system event log, eg what was happening in the seconds before the OS crashed. Would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

    Why does my version of Spotify have so many weird notification channel settings?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 04:56 PM PDT

    Rooted LG v40, possibly relevant

    I'm on the version where they brought back the queue button.

    My problem with this is the issue I encountered on my rooted LG with an older than normal version of pie. Also, with magisk I've installed a ton of audio plugins. Without going into detail, my phone's Spotify started skipping songs randomly and tons of crazy stuff like that. I fixed it by restarting my phone and also maybe by creating an Automate rule to clear Google's cache every twenty seconds.

    Here are the screenshots of what I created the question about the first one is the permissions that Spotify has: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uedqLUD6Uv6277tz8

    What I question really is if these notification channels are at all necessary.

    How do I recover a video I accidentally deleted on my android OnePlus2?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 04:31 PM PDT

    I've been having a lot of trouble trying to recover a few videos I didn't mean to delete on my OnePlus2. I would prefer to not use my computer but I'm having a lot of trouble. I've tried about all the "recovery" apps and none of them from what I've seen, have been able to recover the videos I've lost. I looked into rooting my device, but all the apps and softwares I used didn't do anything that helped me recover my videos. I am unsure if my videos are permanently gone after I deleted them; Any help is appreciated.

    Weird Samsung Keyboard Issue. It Does Not Learn Numbers.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 04:02 PM PDT

    Hey. I've gotten a Samsung A30s on Android 10. My previous phone was an LG G5. The keyboard on the LG had an underrated feature. It would learn and remember almost every number combination I typed frequently. If I was going to type an 11-digit account number that it had learned I would just type the first 2 or 3 digits and the keyboard would predict the 11-digit number for me to choose alongside other choices. I found the feature really helpful as I would just have to teach the keyboard a number I would input frequently, such as a phone or account number on just the first occasion and it would predict it.

    Now, onto the Samsung A30s, the keyboard lacks this feature. I have to type numbers fully each time into the keyboard. It is a PITA. Have any among you found this infuriating as well? And what have you done to remedy it? I have just tried out GBoard and it seems to be lacking this feature as well.

    Pixel 3 XL upscaling screenshots?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 03:45 PM PDT

    I don't have a Pixel 3 XL but my friend does and he's too lazy to post here. According to the internet, the thing has a resolution of 1440x2960. He says that his built in screenshot tool, when you take a straight screenshot without cropping the field, comes out to that resolution. His built in screenshot tool apparently has the function where you can limit the capture field before saving the screenshot (like a pre-cropping). And for some reason, when he uses that function, the resultant image has a resolution higher than 1440x2960.

    For example, taking a screenshot of a tweet on his feed, by selecting the capture field and then saving the screenshot, he got something like 2048 (height) x 1814 (width). The screenshot tool on his Pixel 3 XL is adding information to captured screenshots when using the pre-crop tool, something that negates the purpose of screenshotting imo. He googled it but said he couldn't find anything on the issue. Does anyone else know anything about this? Seems really weird to me.

    Random battery usage by Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 03:37 PM PDT

    Does anyone else have Docs, Sheets, and Slides pop up randomly in their battery usage?

    Recently I've noticed when checking my battery usage that these apps are randomly using battery, it's always at 1% and happens at least once a week. When I look at the info it doesn't say it's from active or background use either just "out of total app usage". For me Docs usually shows up on its own, while Sheets and Slides pop up together either the day after or before. I've tried force quitting them but they just restart on those random days.

    This seemed to only start after my phone last updated, along with google play services now showing up too but that is more explainable as from what I know it is always being used for phone functions.

    I have a LG Rebel 4 if that is important

    Auto Photo back up service

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 03:10 PM PDT

    So I just became a father for the first time yesterday, 28th July.

    My phone has a large storage, 256gb, but I would hate to lose everything.

    I already have Google Photos installed and backing up switched on, I also have a Microsoft OneDrive account, but the promotion I had from purchasing a Windows Phone has expired.

    Are there any better services for a similar price?

    Thanks

    Is Snapdragon 765G the lowest chip spec for smooth scrolling on Android?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:23 AM PDT

    I own an old Snapdragon 626 phone, the scrolling is not smooth eg scrolling down web search result or Reddit posts. Thinking of upgrading to a SD 730, but then in OnePlus Nord press videos show the reason they're releasing a mid range phone now that mid range SD chips finally is able to give an acceptable user experience showing smooth and fast scrolling. Nord is using 765G, suggesting that to get a smooth scrolling experience one must aim for this chip or one with higher spec. Any of you have otherwise experience getting smooth scrolling on lower spec chip?

    Does disabling an app, make it lose complete functionality?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:23 PM PDT

    If you adb in your phone and disable a harmful app for example, or a normal app instead of deleting them, do they actually lose their complete functionality?

    Does disabling an app from your phone making it lose complete functionality, and do they receive/apply updates while disabled (if disabled Play Store apps don't apply updates, what about pre-installed apps via OTAs)?

    No YouTube video quality option (Pixel)

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    I've noticed in the last month or two on the YT app that some videos don't allow me to change the quality and are set to a very low level (looks like 240p or something like that).

    These are videos that most definitely have better quality so what's going on here? It seems like a bug to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I've also noticed a lot of stuttering and lag (with video not audio) when watching 60fps videos, from roughly the same time the above began.
