    I Want to lower my screens refresh rate from 60hz to 30hz. Does anybody have any idea how to do this? I would be incredibly grateful if anyone can show me.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:44 PM PDT

    For reasons I won't go into detail about, is there any way to lower your screens refresh rate? I have a Motorola One 5G Ace that runs at 60hz. It is super important that I am able to make the screens refresh rate 30hz.

    I am not the most tech savvy person out there, but I will do anything needed be. If rooting is necessary, I will do it.

    I have tried looking for any bit of info on how to accomplish this, but I can't seem to find anything. I see tons of videos and tutorials on how to increase your phones refresh rate, but nothing on how to lower it.

    I appreciate any and all help very greatly!

    Morning alarm cancels itself immediately

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:04 PM PDT

    I'm on a Google Pixel 2 and I noticed my alarm wasn't going off in the mornings so I would just sleep straight through.

    I tried to replicate it by setting an alarm for 1 minute's time and the alarm turned on, vibrated for around one pulse, and then just disappeared as though it were never there. (I have it set to vibrate first then fade in a Spotify playlist)

    However when I tried to replicate it again, it worked perfectly. Most of the time when I try and replicate it, it works fine but only occasionally it cancels itself like it does every morning.

    I have tried all sort of different things with toggling DND or bedtime mode and other stuff that I might be doing each night differently from when I'm trying to replicate it but it's very hard to draw any kind of link between possible factors and what is happening.

    I would really appreciate any help because I love the Spotify alarm and hate sleeping through my alarm, so this is very frustrating.

    Found a Samsung (possibly s20?) with a completely smashed screen. How can I mirror it to my computer to try and access it?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:34 PM PDT

    Found it on the side of the road and the phone is completely smashed with zero visibility, but it still turns on and seems to be getting notifications. How can I mirror it to my PC to try and see the screen?

    I've tried connecting to my computer via USB->USB-C but I think its locked, also tried HDMI->USB-C to my TV and that didn't work.

    Gallery always asking for Permissions?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:10 PM PDT

    So I own a Z Flip 3 and Everytime I save a screenshot or a pic and view it, it asked me to enable permissions. All my permissions are enabled. I noticed that my gallery is manually disabled, would that be the reason? How do I enable it again.

    System file has become all-consuming leviathan

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:02 PM PDT

    Hi team.

    I got my phone wet the other day (put in wash by well meaning spouse). We took it to a ubreakifix shop and all that. Remarkably, it is still functioning. There's a little repeating clicking sound that happens any time the speaker is activated, but the issue is that now my system file is gobbling up all of my available storage. For the first time, my phone told me it was running out of space, so I deleted some old, big apps. But the system file grew to consume that freed up space too. It's like Little Otik, if anyone out there is a Jan Å vankmajer fan. At the time of this writing, the system file is using 209 gb and has left so little space (i.e. 0 bytes) that I am not able to open my messages program. The only thing I've done to fix it is delete programs and media (which just feeds the file) and restarting the phone.

    Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it? I have a new phone arriving in a few days, but I'd like to be able to text until then.

    It's a t-mobile oneplus 8t+5g.

    Thank you!

    Is there a way to extremely minimize android consumption?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:50 AM PDT

    As the title suggests, I'd like to turn an old android device into an "E-reader" so I don't care if every function that doesn't belong to reading is obliterated. Any tips?

    how do i run apps from sD card on a samsung galaxy a01 (Android 11)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:42 AM PDT

    I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy A01 running Android 11, and the internal storage is getting quite full. I've been unable to figure out how to move apps to the SD card. I go to Settings > Apps and enter individual apps, selecting Storage, but there's no option to move them. I can't find a solution in Settings > Battery and device care > Storage either. Did I ignorantly get a phone too cheap to support this feature?

    Thank you.

    S21 5G "No face detected" randomly while charging.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:44 PM PDT

    When i have my S21 plugged in and charging, just sitting on my desk, every so often (maybe every minute or two) the lock screen comes on, face id goes "No face detected", the phone vibrates once, and the battery % comes on the middle of the screen, then it goes dark again.

    Unsure whats causing it to randomly attempt to unlock itself, and it only attempts to do so while plugged in and charging.

    Happens regardless if the phone is face up or face down.

    I assume it has to do with it being charged, using the cable that came with my galaxy 8 (usb a to usb c) plugged into a built in usb-a port on my desk.

    Any help appreciated, Thanks.

    Why am I getting hundreds of emergency alerts?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:37 PM PDT

    I have a Samsung note 9 and I have been getting 2 emergency alerts every 3 minutes since 5:45 and it's driving me crazy. They don't even say emergency alert, they just say "21401118424011255380".

    What is going on and how do I stop it, other than throwing my phone out the window?

    Fastest way to get ad/malware?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:23 PM PDT

    I work at store selling phones, there was a TCL phone that got marked down to $5. I bought it as a joke for me and my coworkers to test/mess around with. My question is, what is the fastest and easiest way to bug this phone down with adware, and or malware?

    I've been downloading numerous sketchy APKs off the internet, but it hasn't done anything that I know of. Any advice?

    Why do Google Play in app purchases stop working after a while? Apps

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:52 PM PDT

    I recently switched from iPhone to the Samsung galaxy fold 3 and found that after making a few purchases, any new transactions suddenly cannot be completed.

    I live in the US, have sufficient funds, and have no blocks on my credit, debit, or PayPal. Payments will work on initial set up, but will randomly stop working after a while.

    Things I have tried :

    1. Updating/Removing/Re-add payment methods
    2. Delete data/cache of Google play, play services, and play games
    3. Added exceptions in battery management/priority mode for Google play, play services, and play games
    4. Started a new Google account

    It should be noted that transactions on the same payment methods made through galaxy apps work just fine.

    My galaxy s6 has never had this issue.

    Emergency alert tones aren't going off even though I get the pop up on my screen

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:50 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I get emergency alert pop ups but not the accompanying classic amber alert tone. When I set up my phone, I did disable Amber alerts as I am a college student who doesn't drive, but I did leave everything else enabled. Despite toggling the settings, my phone didn't make any noise when others around me did. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

    Is there an alternative to the One UI share screen?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    Whenever I share through any app I get the default share options on my Galaxy note20. This screen has a lot of issues for me. The suggested contacts are always people I never speak to. A lot of the apps I use the most to share to like discord and snapchat have multiple entries on this screen. If i pick the wrong one, I get an error which causes even more issues.

    Is there an app I can use to substitute this screen, similar to how you can use a different home screen compared to One UI? If not, are there settings to make this share section more bareable? My apologies for the questions, i found this a difficult topic to google as i'm not sure the proper terms.

    Thanks!

    How do I prevent Gallery from creating new folders every time I get a picture from a new source?

    Ideally anytime I get a picture from a source (reddit, twitter, screenshots), I want it to be located into a central photo folder.

    Google Phone App Not Displaying Voicemails Anymore?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:10 PM PDT

    When I first downloaded the Google Phone app on my OnePlus 6T, there was a Voicemail tab at the bottom that displayed my voicemails. That tab has since disappeared and I can only check my voicemails through the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. I am also constantly getting a "syncing voicemails" notification from the Phone app, but they're never displayed in the app. Anyone know how to get them to display in the app again or is it impossible because of the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app being installed?

    How to access phone or fix app that isn't letting me open my keyboard from lockscreen?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:03 PM PDT

    Hello, recently my keyboard app has not been working and it locked me out of my phone because I can't pull up the keyboard. Is there a way I can get rid of it or disable the app with remote function? If I could project the phone onto my PC with a charging cable that would be cool, but I'm not experienced in that so I would appreciate some advice on how to do it. I can't unlock the phone by itself. The only thing keeping me from doing that is again the keyboard so if I can project the phone onto my monitor I could enter my password with my computer keyboard, uninstall the keyboard app, and fix the problem. I also tried recovery mode to clear cache but that didn't seem to fix it. Restarting additionally did not fix the problem yet either.

    Just to clarify, nothing about the phone is broken (screen, touch, etc) so the only thing keeping me out is an app which I need to get rid of. Any help?

    Multiple Android Devices Photos/Videos sync to one Google Drive

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:49 PM PDT

    My wife and I both have Pixel phones (2XL for her, 4a for me) and I pay monthly for a separate Drive account (which is unlimited) where we can backup our videos/photos from the DLSR and just other files. We've both maxed out our free storage allowed on our devices for original quality so is there a way to sync both out phones to the same Drive? I can select this account in the Photos app and it syncs just fine but I think if I got my wife to do the same it would be a complete mess. Is it possible to backup the photos to a separate folder on the drive?

    Sometimes searching for installed apps using search bar only shows internet results instead

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 12:46 PM PDT

    I have a Pixel 4a and I like to search apps by there name cause I think it's easier than seeking it out all the time. I use the little Google search bar at the bottom of my home page. Sometimes when I search for an app, the app shows up. Sometimes I just get results from the internet (IE googling Venmo instead of pulling up the app). Has anyone else noticed this?

    Advice on Music

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:30 AM PDT

    Hi - new here, just looking for help, sorry if this violates rules.

    Ok! I really want to make the switch from an iPhone to an Android. However, I have over $2 grand of music that I've compiled over years of having an iPod and iPhone. I don't want to lose that investment and just switch to a streaming service. I really, really like my music and I've spent a lot of time gathering a huge amount that I really enjoy. I don't want to start from scratch to recreate my library.

    Now that Google Play Music is gone, is there any way at all to still listen to my music on an Android device and continue to buy songs the way I like? I suppose I could pay for Apple Music and do it that way, but would I still be able to buy from iTunes through that service and store it on my Android device? I really don't want to be reliant on paying for a streaming service in order to listen to my music (as my finances can sometimes be tricky, I'd rather just ... own it outright.)

    Any thoughts/advice/help would be hugely appreciated.

    Thanks <3

    Does anyone know how can I fix this?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:00 PM PDT

    I press the install button for Google Play Games, it downloads and installs, but then just resets back to the install button immediately after that. Other apps are fine.

    Suggestions and ideas for budget chromebook or android tablet under £300/€350 for work and entertainment.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:53 PM PDT

    One key feature I require is being able to use Google chrome with extensions. The product will be used for a mix of work (mostly typing documents and social media) and entertainment (fhd/uhd streaming and some very light gaming).

    I'm currently looking at :

    • Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook [10.1 Inch FHD 2-in-1 Laptop - (MediaTek P60T, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMCP, Chrome OS)].

    • Lenovo 10.1 Inch Chromebook Duet - [(1920 x 1200) - MediaTek Helio P60T Octa-Core 2.0 GHz - ARM G72 MP3 800 GHz - 4 GB LPDDR4X + 128 GB. [not sure what differentiates between this and the last one]].

    • HP Chromebook x360 12b-ca0006na Convertible Laptop

    • Maybe waiting on Xiaomi Mi Pad 5?

    Having extra storage options would be a plus. Good sound quality for watching shows/films would be brilliant.

    Any other options or suggestions would be much appreciated. Or tips on adding chrome extension capabilities with the ability to also download apk files would be useful.

    Galaxy tab s7 is too expensive atm.

    Can contacts ring when on vibrate/silent? Samsung

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:44 PM PDT

    I have a Samsung s21 ultra. I leave my phone on vibrate due to the million notifications I get. But I sleep during the day. Is there a way to set specific contacts to ring no matter what time of day? do not disturb doesn't work as I can't leave it on 24/7. I added my father as a favorite contact but that still didn't let him ring.

    Any ideas?
