    Am I being hacked? "USB file transfer turned on" even when phone is not connected to computer

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:23 PM PST

    Hi,

    I've googled this without success. I'm feeling really stressed about this right now.

    A few hours ago I noticed that my Pixel 2 was giving me a silent alert saying USB file transfer is in use. The trouble is the phone wasn't connected and hasn't been since several hours ago. I'm used to the message coming up when I am connected to my computer but I don't think I should see this when I am not connected.

    When I click on the notification it brings up the relevant settings page but everything is grayed out.

    What's more worrying is that WHEN I TURN OFF WI-FI and MOBILE DATA the silent alert goes away.

    I've tried restarting the phone and that does not change anything.

    Am I being hacked? Is my data being stolen? How do I tell?

    I only install things from the google play store and only ones which have a lot of users.

    Any help or advice appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Possibly dumb question.

    I have a Razer Phone 2 and I have an adapter to hook it to the tv, which works great. However, it forces the resolution to 4k and I was wondering if there is a way to force to 1080p. I have retroarch on it and I'm trying to set it up for good emulation.

    How to Connect Galaxy Gear 2 Neo to OP6t?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 09:17 PM PST

    I got a Galaxy Gear 2 Neo for free and I tried connecting it but wasn't able to connect to my 6t? I don't think it is possible because the gear is old and my phone is more newer. I'm assuming I can't. Is there a way to connect gear to 6t if possible?

    4G/3G/2G Icon won't go away and other 4G Problems

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 07:44 PM PST

    Hello! I recently got a Samsung S20 FE the other day and I noticed that turning off mobile data does not cause the 4G or H+ icons to go away like it does on my other phones. It goes away on Wifi though. Is this behavior normal? Also when I do turn on mobile data, my phone does not automatically reconnect and I have to toggle Airplane Mode on and off before I regain internet connectivity

    Google Assistant recurring reminders not working correctly, google sets them as wrong date!

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 07:17 AM PST

    Heads up. When you set a google assistant reminder to repeat once per year (recurring), it puts it in as the wrong month! Huge bug, and potentially disastrous if you need to remember something important.

    It's doing this on me and 3 family members' phones, though we all have Samsung phones. It's doing it on both Android 10 and 11.

    Can anyone else confirm?

    1. Set a reminder for a date, like March 20th 2021.
    2. Set it to repeat "yearly", forever.
    3. Now check what date it actually set the reminder for. In my case, it set the reminder to occur yearly on January 18th. 😒

    Are you getting the same problem? Maybe it only happens on Samsung phones? Idk.

    Google needs to fix this, but as usual with big tech companies, there's no apparent way to contact them about this.

    What is the "Device Personalization Services" app and why it has access to the microphone?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 09:23 PM PST

    It's a Google app that appeared recently as a system app. From time to time an update for it pops up in Play Store. This app has access to the microphone... what's the purpose of it?

    [kaspersky] infected file cannot be placed in quarantined

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:34 AM PST

    After running Kaspersky's scan, several files cannot be quarantined. The team told me to either reflash the phone or to root it, so I chose the hard factory reset (vol up + power on).

    But first app I reinstalled was the anti-virus and it keeps saying that infected files cannot be quarantined... The Kingroot app didn't work neither. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hey, i was just wondering, if they are ok to delete. I have some in my "dowloaded" and they are not exactly small, i don't even know what they are but im always careful with deleting unknown formates as they might be important. Is this the case?

    How to view all TCP connections to an Android device?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 07:13 PM PST

    Title says it all. None of the network apps on the play store seem to work. I can't find an answer to this anywhere. I basically just want what TCP View is on Windows, on my phone.

    Garbled Voice Calls Samsung

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 07:06 PM PST

    My samsung phone started having an issue with voice calls. I cannot hear the other person properly and they cannot hear me properly either. I took my phone to my provider and they suggested I restart my phone. I tried it and to my relief it worked! Here comes the problem - it started happening again. I tried restarting again and it worked! But this cycle keeps happening and it seems to be getting more frequent. It used to be at least a few days before I'd have to restart, now it seems I have to every day. Though the restart technically works, I'm dying for a more permanent fix and am worried I will possibly get left unable to make intelligible voice calls. Any advice you have would be great. The phone is pretty new, just over a year old, so I'm gonna be unhappy if I have to replace it already. Thanks

    Texting app with BOTH MMS renaming and categories

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 08:39 AM PST

    I've really enjoyed the categories that the native Android messaging app has added, but I have a lot of group chats with a lot of the same people in them. This gets confusing quickly since I can't rename the groups and they're all just strings of names. I'm using Textra now because it lets me rename groups, but I miss the categories as they let me separate family, friends, and school chats.

    Is there any app that has both of these features? I've looked around and I've found plenty that can rename groups, but I can't find another with the same category system. Thanks!

    Can you make an SD card the default storage for Google Drive downloads, or downloads in general?

    Basically what the title asks. Versus having to download, then move everything.

    How can I check a VPN configuration?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:43 PM PST

    I installed NetGuard, but I want to make sure it isn't sending any of data somewhere. I don't know about writing code, so I can't check the source code.

    Is there a way to see the VPN details of NetGuard?

    https://i.postimg.cc/BQqcwnNB/Screenshot-20210120-223653-Settings.png

    It doesn't show anything useful when I go to Settings > Connections > VPN > NetGuard.

    How do I get an app to automatically start after a reboot?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:40 PM PST

    Hi folks, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get an app to start running its services after the phone restarts.

    I installed Prey Project on my device. After launching it manually, I get a notification in the drawer that the service is running; after I reboot the phone, however, that notification never reappears until the app is manually launched.

    I tried downloading AutoStart and OnStart on the device to force the app to run, without luck. I also tried to write a flow in Automate - the flow worked, but Automate didn't come back after startup either.

    I disabled "optimizing battery usage" on Prey, which also didn't solve the problem.

    At this point, I'm thinking it's some phone-specific optimization, but I'm not sure how to track it down, or what else I might be able to do in order to get Prey to run after startup.

    Ideas?

    Youtube Showing on Lock Screen, How Do I Disable it?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:20 PM PST

    I'm using a Note 10+.

    When I shut my screen off or lock my phone with a YouTube video playing, a notification appears on the lockscreen the next time I turn the screen on. If I turn my screen off again without unlocking it, the notification disappears. If the video is paused when I shut off my screen, the notification does not appear.

    The notification features a play button, forward/backward buttons, and the title of the video. None of them are functional. I have to unlock my phone to view or hear the video. I searched lock screen settings and YouTube settings and disabled everything related to notifications and drawing over other apps that I could find. Nothing fixed it.

    Notifications on my lock screen annoy me, and this one is non-functional to boot, so I want it gone. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any option to disable it, and given that it doesn't function and only occurs in very specific circumstances, I think it's probably a bug. If I'm wrong, how can I disable it? If I'm right, is there a fix?

    Link sharing Vs. Gallery/pictures

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:20 PM PST

    So my phone updated recently and along with the update my phone now sends "link sharing" whenever sharing photos the the messages app. I used to be able to click on the photos option, attach a photo and send it - but now it sends a link. You have to click the link, then click on the photo and wait for it to load. Not just a click and see thing. This might sound dumb but I'm super not into solving or figuring out shit like this. I just want to be able to send a photo and the person not have to go through 2 or 3 different steps. Plus - the link isn't even fucking working anymore. So now I have to send photos another way. I've tried finding a way through settings, but like I said I'm not the best at figuring out these issues. Thanks in advance

    NEED HELP

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:05 AM PST

    Hey guys, I have a redmi note 4 and I use Es File Explorer in it. Now I had been using that "hide" feature inside this app to hide a folder which contained some pictures that I didn't want to be visible inside the gallery, it worked pretty well but it had a few problems, so I decided to download a "vault" application for this stuff. Now I unhid that the folder which contained all those images and I saw that it was named ".other" Now if you're familiar with this, you must know that any file with a dot before it's name appears hidden (e.g : ".feezeey" will be hidden) so I removed the dot from the name. This messed things up and somehow changed the extension of the folder to something I don't know, and now I can't open the folder at all. Its basically busted and I don't know how to open it, but it contains a lot of pictures of my friends and family that I really want to recover. If anyone knows how to fix this please help me. Here's two screen shots for some visual representation : screenshots

    Pixel 5 Accelerometer Calibration

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:48 PM PST

    Just picked up a Pixel 5 on Verizon and noticed that the accelerometer doesn't read level when the phone is in fact level. It is off by about 1.5 degrees. Noticed it in the camera app and the Sky Map app. I've had the phone for nearly two weeks to see if it would calibrate itself to no avail. Should I try exchanging it for a different unit or is there another way to force it to calibrate?

    Google Play Music is gone but YouTube Music won't work when screen is locked. Pixel 4a 5G

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 01:32 PM PST

    Am I missing something?

    YouTube Music will play when my phone is locked, Galaxy S10+. My wife, Pixel 4a 5G, playback stops as soon as she locks her phone.

    I do not have premium, so I have no idea why this won't work for her, but does for me.

    Both on Verizon.
