    MacOS Preview equivalent? Android Help

    MacOS Preview equivalent? Android Help


    MacOS Preview equivalent?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 07:36 PM PDT

    Apparently, MacOS has a pretty powerful app called preview that's built in. You can do a lot with it, including redacting pdf files.

    Does Google have an equivalent app for their ecosystem with similar capabilities? On Android, the Drive app is the default viewer, but it doesn't seem to be able to do anything beside just viewing the file.

    Can you make a phone data-only? (without carrier blocks)

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 08:38 PM PDT

    I've got a few devices that are strictly for data use. Any sort of voice services cause it to drop the LTE connection and change to something less.

    Tons of articles about limiting data use, but I want to do the opposite. Is this possible? I don't want any non-data services causing it to drop the LTE connection. Heck I don't want voice services to work at all really. Just the data stuff would be ideal.

    Android noob, keeping screen on for kiosk mode

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 06:48 PM PDT

    I received a Nexus 7 for free. It has version 11 on it. I'm using it as a Home Assistant control and would like it to always be on it to automatically be on the HA screen if someone taps the screen (maybe after a long time out). I enabled developer mode and got the "stay awake" option on but it seems every several hours the Nexus reverts to the Lock Screen and I must input my PIN and select the app again. Any thoughts?

    Need help restoring contacts on new phone.

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 06:31 PM PDT

    I bought a S21 Ultra and had all my data transferred from my S10+.

    My dad wanted my old phone so instead of factory reset, I just manually deleted my contacts on my old phone not knowing it would also delete my contacts on my new phone.

    I tried to restore my contacts on my new phone but half of them aren't appearing. Before clicking restore it shows me that I have 1000+ contacts to restore, but after clicking restore, I only have 400 contacts (which I already had before restoring). Why am I not getting all of them back? I'm confused and really need my contacts back!

    Audio quality is bad during calls.

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 01:52 PM PDT

    Whenever I'm in a call, if there is a music or a video playing the audio quality goes to hell. I know that when you are in a call using a Bluetooth device, it goes mono so the waves can pass mic input and audio at the same time. But what if I'm using a headphone in the 3.5mm jack and the phone's mic, what's the excuse?

    I just want to be able to chat in discord while watching something or listening to some music with decent audio quality in both places man.

    How to find my phone on silent mode?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 08:42 AM PDT

    It's a Huawei P30 if that helps.

    I tried using "Google find my device" and it tracked down my phone so I know it's in my house, it gave me the option to ring my phone (even if it was on silent) but it wouldn't ring, it just said "connecting" for half an hour.

    s20 fe exynos overheating issue

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:37 PM PDT

    S20 fe exynos version overheats often. First, I was wondering why my battery loses capacity so fast. Then I realized it was because of the heat. Now, if this phone which is great by the way, has issues with CPU, can OTA update fix it? I did factory reset and all recommendation. What is your expirience? I put a lot of money on this one :(

    OnePlus 6 System Uses 36 GB of Storage

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:55 PM PDT

    I've been running low on storage on my (rooted) OnePlus 6 and I noticed my System is currently using 36 GB. It has been as high as 39 GB before. I've looked online and it seems to be related to Android's AB Partition system.

    Is there any way to reduce the size of the System or delete the currently unused partition?

    Help unlocking AT&T Samsung Note 10

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 03:44 PM PDT

    Hi there -

    Sorry in advance if this is long winded.

    I bought a Samsung Note 10+ in September 2019 and AT&T had a promotional for BOGO. My friend needed a new phone and the sales rep told me I'd be able to unlock the extra Note 10.

    Flash forward to current date and that extra phone is still locked, brand new and unused. I have been told so many conflicting messages and going in circles forever. I dont know what to do. I am here seeking real advice or experience.

    My friend has a Samsung Note 4 hanging on by a wire and at T-mobile. We really want to get this Note 10 unlocked for him. I still owe for atleast 5 more months on my phone (10+). ATT says if I pay off my phone I will owe for 2nd phone... which currently is being "paid for/BOGO" by having $30 credited on our bill. I have little trust in AT&T as we've had bill discrepancies for past few months. I just am hoping someone can be straightforward.

    Thank you in advance!

    I need an "airpods" recomendation

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 03:32 PM PDT

    So i use android and im tired of using headphones with cables, mostly because i usually sleep with them on, and i end up breaking them due to tensing the cable while sleeping and eventually they stop working.

    So i wanted a wireless option, but now i find out from a friend that the airpods, fake ones included, or for example the ones from brands like huawei or oneplus, they all include touch sensible buttons on each airpod, and thats a no for me cause obviously while i sleep the fact that they are touch sensible are going to be pausing and unpausing or switching music while i move.

    I dont need those buttons and ive been reading online, the only ones that have the option to turn off those buttons are the original airpods, and only if you are using an iphone.

    So i need some help finding a good option for airpods with no touch sensible buttons for android (preferably fake ones, or from brands like oneplus they are arround 40 bucks im not trying to spend 200 on them lol).

    Thanks

    How to make Google app appear like this?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:46 PM PDT

    So I have this floating picture that I can't get rid of. Video in the description.

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 12:21 PM PDT

    Like the title says I have a little snippet of a picture floating on my screen. It overlays everything, other apps, and videos too. I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

    I was trying to use the s-pen on my Samsung note9 to do it's OCR thing on the numbers and somehow ended up with this floating picture that won't go away.

    https://youtu.be/cz0OKwdpHFU

    Sorry if the video is blurry, I just uploaded it and YouTube is still processing it I think.

    Anyway how do I get it to go away?

    Is there any way to mute the Google Assistant/Voice to text BEEP at start and finish?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 12:34 PM PDT

    When you trigger the Google Assistant or Voice to text Mic it makes a loud and annoying beep at the start and finish. Even more annoying is on my S10 when I turn the notification volume down to almost nothing the beep is still very loud, which I'm assuming has been done on purpose for some reason.

    I'm on Android 11 Sasung S10e with no root, is there anyway to completely disable the beep apart from turning the system volume down to zero?

    I'd really appreciate some help because the beep is driving up the wall, especially late at night or when I'm in an area where you have to keep your voice down.

    Samsung has a feature to control the volume of individual apps, giving Gboard a custom volume control did nothing and it didn't have an option to add the Google app which is what I'm assuming is triggering the beep.

    Can't use my tablet after factory reset because of Voice Keyboard not going away when entering the WiFi password.

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 06:12 AM PDT

    Basically can't login to WiFi because it doesn't allow the voice keyboard to work. And the voice keyboard won't go away either. Also tried skipping it but they say "The way you restored factory settings may pose security risks. Please verify your identity with your Google account. Please connect to the internet first". Tried everything from factory resetting again to wiping cache partition to solve this.

    Is there anyway to use tasker/macrodroid/whatever to make smartlock actually work properly or add more options.

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 03:18 PM PDT

    I've made smart lock location work within almost half a square mile around where I live but it does not matter, the phone still locks itself most of the time.

    I really wish I could just tell it to stay unlocked while connected to my wifi network or something else to just make it freaking work. Short of leaving bluetooth on 24/7 and something plugged in and always connected is there anything that can be done in any app to make smartlock less trash?

    Do some apps not appear in the /data/ directory?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:24 AM PDT

    I'm looking into doing some reverse engineering research on an Android app, however, upon connecting my android phone to my computer and going to the directory: /Galaxy S8+/Phone/Android/data/

    I haven't been able to find any file or directory related to this particular android application. I've also checked the /Galaxy S8+/Card/Android/data/ to no avail.

    I was under the impression that when downloading an app from the play store, a file is created in one of these directories. Am I missing something or could it be somewhere else that I am not looking at?

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Specifics:

    Operating System: Windows 10

    Android Device: Samsung Galaxy S8+

    App: "Kinsa for Wireless Smart Thermometers"

    Help! concern about stolen phone

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:07 AM PDT

    So my friends phone( Realme 6 os- maybe android 10) has been recently stolen with the sim card inside, she suspects some of her malicious friends with ill intent to hack it. The phone contained some of her explicit photos and videos and we are concerned if somebody can hack into it and get to that content and how easy would that be to do? And can we disable it remotely somehow from here? The content is in the app signal and its chats which is locked by a pin code. The phone is also locked by a 4 digit pin and finger print.

    Android without a Google Account

    Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:43 PM PDT

    I'm thinking of buying an Android smartphone (probably the Samsung S21), but I want to use it without a Google account. I know that I would not be able to download apps from the Play Store, which is not a big problem for me because I would download apps from the F-Droid Store. My question would be if apps, such as Google Maps, would be usable without a Google account and if there would be restrictions on other apps etc.
