    Google assistant responds but doesn't open Android Help

    Google assistant responds but doesn't open

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 05:30 PM PDT

    When I say "hey Google", the Google assistant does the little ping noise but doesn't open the app even when it replies to whatever I asked it. This is annoying when it says "here are some results I found" or whatever but it doesn't even open to show me the results it found. I have tried restarting my phone, checked if Google assistant needs to update, looked through the settings, and can't find anything about it. Has anyone else had this problem? (I am on a Galaxy S8+ on Verizon if that makes any difference.)

    Pixel 4XL Australia June 2021 Security Update

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 01:24 PM PDT

    Hi there,

    Does anyone know when Pixel 4XL (Australia) will get June 2021 Security Update?

    This is my device's current stats:

    Google Play system update
    1 June 2021
    Security update
    5 April 2021
    Build number
    RQ2A.210405.005

    I've checked the update page and my Build Number is still tagged to April's update.

    I have tapped the Check for Updates button daily.

    Anyone else still on April or just me?

    Thanks in advance

    Is the OnePlus 8t worth it?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 01:24 PM PDT

    I want to replace my old iPhone and I have been considering the OnePlus 8t and a few other phones for a while. The unlocked 8t with 12gb ram and 256gb storage is currently $549. Other phones I was considering was the Samsung s20 fe and the Google pixel 5. Is it worth it?

    Question about android audio support

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 06:20 AM PDT

    https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats

    At this link, it says that android has built in support for " Mono/Stereo (no multichannel). Sample rates up to 48 kHz (but up to 44.1 kHz is recommended on devices with 44.1 kHz output, as the 48 to 44.1 kHz downsampler does not include a low-pass filter). 16-bit recommended; no dither applied for 24-bit. ". Does this mean that any and every android device(above android 3.1/4.1) fully supports decoding 16bit/44.1khz or 48khz audio? Do specialized devices such as the Fiio M15 fully support multichannel and higher decoding rates?

    I have to UNINSTSALL the Google Update 2-3 time a DAY to get Voice to Text to work

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:38 PM PDT

    I compose 90% of my texts by clicking the speaker icon and speaking my message for which Google turns it into text. Recently the color of the Voice Button (microphone icon) has changed from Green to Blue.

    Whatever version is associated with the blue color button is absolutely has terrible accuracy. Typos everywhere and you can't click a misspelled or mis-typed work to use the correct suggestion, if that makes sense.

    I searched online and the fix is to go to Settings -> Apps -> GOOGLE, then click the upper right and uninstall updates. You get a message about it resetting to the factory version, which is good. Once you do this the Voice button goes back to the previous green version and is infinitely more accurate.

    The problem is... for no reason whatsoever (even if I don't touch my phone) at some random interval, the voice button will be the new poor blue button version again. This happens 1-5 times a day. I literally have to uninstall the update 20 times a week.

    I've made sure to go into the Google App and Google Voice settings and make sure that Auto-Update is turned OFF. No matter what, this still updates itself every few hours.

    Correct Green color button version - https://imgur.com/a/60TKzWo
    Super Villain Blue color updated version - https://imgur.com/a/ztPBSxJ
    Clicking this changes it from Blue to Green - https://imgur.com/a/HYUAgya
    Confirmed Auto-Updates for the app are off - https://imgur.com/a/ygkcSqz

    Does anyone have ANY idea why? It's driving me crazy.
    I'll buy ya a pizza if you can fix this for me :D

    Despite changing the SIM names, it still shows "SIM1" and "SIM2". Is it a known bug ?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:36 AM PDT

    Maybe I'm missing something ? I changed the SIMs names trought "SIM card manager" but it doesn't seems to actually change the name outside that menu. For instance, when I have to choose which SIM will send SMS, it shows the default name. Any idea ? I'm on Samsung S21, last update.

    The Evergrowing "Other" Category

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:47 AM PDT

    So, my phone has been having a bit of a storage problem for the past week or so now. I look into what has been taking up a majority of this storage and most of it is being eaten up by the category labeled "other."

    I clean up all the cache I possobly can, have my phone down to 4 apps, and cannot do much of anything else to help it.

    I get a micro SD card of 64GB, hoping moving these apps to an external storage could give the internal storage some more free space, and if anything, whatever has been taking up so many GB could move to the SD card.

    Well, it did work, kind of. The apps, pictures and anything I could possibly move over to the SD card is on the SD card, but this "other" category is STILL continuously growing and taking more and more space on my internal storage. While the storage is not dangerously low, I fear that it is going to just keep coming back and making my phone inoperable.

    This is really my last resort- does anyone know a way to clear up this category, or to at the very least, keep it from growing and messing up my phone?

    And before anyone mentions it, I have tried multiple cleaning apps, they didn't help me whatsoever.

    Google search bar gone? (Galaxy s9+)

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:17 PM PDT

    Recently my bfs Google search bar on his home screen went missing. We tried adding it back with widgets, however that particular widget just opens a new tab in the chrome app. He liked that the old one kinda opened a separate page, that you could close within the app switcher and never have to see it again. But this other widget one opens a whole new tab and now he's just so mad that he has dozens of tabs for just random searches throughout the day 😂😂 I laugh but Its hard on his ADHD cuz sometimes you just wanna know something that came up and that's all. Like I said, we tried the widget one and it's completely different and I'm not quite sure why 😂 if anyone else has any possible insight that would probably make my day. We both have the same type of phone (galaxy S9+) so I know if it happens to me I'm gunna want to know how to fix it too lol.

    Reaching a breaking point with Android & texting

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:03 PM PDT

    I've been on Android devices for about 9 years now. And I absolutely love everything about them except for one absolutely ridiculous problem that I have no matter what phone I have.

    Texts getting stuck sending or coming through. Basically freezes my phone up for hours on end. No texts nothing. This has happened on every device I've owned, including by brand new note ultra. Doesn't matter the texting app either.

    Obviously this is a group chat issue, it starts there. Somebody sending multiple texts I guess my phone can't handle it and then my texts are stuck both outgoing and incoming.

    Doesn't matter what I do, nothing happens. I usually have to wait about 12 hours then the texts start flying.

    I've had messages sent and received 4 months later. I'm not kidding!

    Is there a fix? This problem alone makes me want to jump to iPhone sometimes. Shit just works over there

    Display of different countries using vpn

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:55 PM PDT

    Hi, I use duckduckgo using vpn. Then I search "my IP address" on it. Duckduckgo shows Sweden on top of the search results just below the search bar while other sites like Nordvpn, Private internet access, expressvpn, whatismyipaddress.com show USA. Why? PS. They show the same IP address.

    Can someone help with a Samsung s20 fe 5g problem please?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:32 PM PDT

    This is for my adult daughters phone. She's having trouble with auto white balance on selfie mode and wants to have it turned off. I can't figure it out and Google is not being a friend to me tonight. My daughter is autistic and this is really distressing her and in turn is distressing me. Any help will be massively appreciated.

    Data recovery (galaxy j7)

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 01:44 PM PDT

    So, I dropped my Samsung Galaxy j7 into a pool and it was fried almost on instant. Doesn't turn on. Took all the suggested measures like putting it in rice, towel dry, etc. No dice, it refuses to turn on. I guess that's what I get. Anyway, is there some possible way to recover the data and transfer it to a new phone? I bought an S7 off of eBay because I like physical buttons and squared screens and I liked my j7 but didn't feel the need to upgrade to a 2020 phone, yada yada.

    Anyway, is it possible through some way through something like connecting the dead phone to a USB in a computer to recover all of the data to be transfered to the new phone? I backed up hardly anything and I'd like to have my music and songs back some how.

    Any help is appreciated

    Audio problem

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 06:26 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a Samsung A41 with the latest Android installed. Today suddenly my phone stopped playing audio on the speaker when I play songs, YT or any other media, but I can hear sounds when doing phonecalls. It plays all sounds normaly on my headphones, but only plays on one ear bud. I have tested the headphones on my sisters phone and they work fine there so it must be the phones fault. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

    Samsung, when i get a google check in notification it comes twice in a row. how to do it just once?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:09 PM PDT

    When I use google with 2-factor, it will send a notification to my phone. But since using this Samsung phone, it sends it TWICE, and they sort-of interfere with each other. If I answer the first one then it doesn't seem to always work, but answering the second one works, But since you can't tell which came in first, it often doesn't work and I have to send it again.

    What's going on and how can I fix this?

    Cannot make or receive any calls in my house.

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 11:43 AM PDT

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite that I bought unlocked and then activated thru AT&T. For some reason I cannot make or receive calls in my house, I can text and access mobile data perfectly fine, and my mom can call on her AT&T phone with no issues. But whenever I try to call out in or around my house, it just says "couldn't connect", and if someone calls me it goes straight to voicemail. What gives?

    Text message notification reminder when in Messenger App

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    I have a Pixel 2 with verizon and for a short period of time when I opened up a text in the messenger app, I would get a notification/banner of other unread messages at the top of my screen. That feature disappeared but does anyone know how to get that feature back? It was super helpful to remind me to look at my unread messages

    Why Can I Not Receive Text Messages?!

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:18 AM PDT

    My phone did this thing the other night where I couldn't receive texts for a few hours then got them all at once. Today it's doing it again and it's been all day. I've confirmed I am successfully sending texts. Everything else is working perfectly fine. The only thing I can not do is receive texts.

    I've tried clearing the cache, deleting all my texts, restarted my phone, turned it off and left it off for a while, ensured messenger app is up to date, downloaded a different messenger app and tried it, reset my network settings.

    If it matters, I'm on at&t, I have cell service. Not on wifi. I don't have any to connect to at the moment, but when this happened the other night I was connected to wifi.

    My phone keeps disconnecting from my PC while connected via USB

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:43 AM PDT

    I have a motorola one action and I use tethering via USB a lot since my PC internet is really bad. However, lately my phone keeps getting disconnected from the PC (Windows 10). It looks like this:

    I'm using tethering when suddenly I lose internet connection and Windows plays the "device disconnected" sound. Suddenly my PC stops seeing my phone and the option to change USB connection type (tethering, MIDI etc.) disappears from my phone. Doesn't matter how many times I disconnect and re-connect the USB cable from my PC or what USB port I'm using, my phone won't connect to my PC until I restart the phone. I used to have that problem like over a year ago when it suddenly disappeared. I had no problems for over a year but now it's back.

    Best Smartphones with phisical home button?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:10 AM PDT

    I don't understand why it's so hard to get away from phisical buttons like the home button but the questions is are there any brands that still make new smartphones with such buttons?
    I don't want to buy a phone with a bad performance and iPhones are expensive and she isn't really sure if she wants an iPhone.

    So the best options out there I found in this thread.

    The only brand that still makes those type of phones for android is Sharp.
    So the best option would be any new model from then, proberly from the R Series and there is only one on there international homepage.

    A full overview of the models is here and I just want to know if somebody knows a other brand because I don't know how good a sharp smartphone is and if somebody can recommand it.

    Need a quality weather app with severe weather notifications

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 06:20 AM PDT

    Was using Weatherbug for years until last night when a massive storm came out of nowhere and WB was absolutely silent. (It's meant to override Do Not Disturb and given the highest priority)

    I don't see anymore paid apps but now there's subscription based premium weather apps. Don't mind but which of these do a proper job of weather alerts and have a functioning radar?
