    Phone disk space missing Android Help

    Phone disk space missing Android Help


    Phone disk space missing

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:45 PM PDT

    I have a samsung J7 2016, is has 16GB of disk space. Yet it says i only have 1.2GB left of space, while all my stuff (apps, photos, ...) only take up 5.5GB of space. I dont understand, is it because the phone disk is SSD and space wears off?

    Google Fit significantly over tracking steps after upgrading to Android 12

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    I have a Pixel 3 which I upgraded to Android 12 over the weekend. Ever since then, my Google Fit app has been way off tracking my step count, sometimes claiming I've walked over a marathon's distance in a single day (doctors hate this one trick, learn how you can walk 25 miles from the comfort of your desk!)

    Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot? Worth noting I have no external step tracking devices set up.

    Weird Problem in an A21

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:08 PM PDT

    I hope this is the right reddit to ask this, if not apologies.
    So I have a Samsung A21 Stock Rom (Boost Mobile) that I gave to my father a while back, when I had it the phone worked great and had 0 problem. However ever since he got it, it's been doing strange things such as the following:

    - Restarting by itself and deleting all contacts

    - Turning on TTS and adding a pin/pattern by itself

    - Changing the language to Chinese and once again adding a pattern / pin by itself

    - Deleting applications (WhatsApp / Facebook)

    At first I thought it was him, so I took the phone home and left it by itself after doing a Factory Reset, and this morning it had somehow added a pin by itself and changed the text to Chinese, I could also see it had deleted all the apps as the messages from WhatsApp were no longer in the notifications.

    Even after I factory reset it, it keeps doing the same thing, what could be the issue?

    floating green menu

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 04:07 PM PDT

    Hey all, I have a Google Pixel 5 running Android 12 and tonight it had this green circle with three horizontal dots in it show up, I can drag it around the edges of the screen. Pressing it up opens a menu of UI/OS type options. It's annoying me. Any clues as to what this is or how to turn it off?

    Light firmware for SCH-S738C?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:55 PM PDT

    Hey guys, just dug out an old sch-s738c and am wondering if there's a super lightweight firmware that I could install on this. I bought it several years ago to be a Bluetooth slave but never really used it because it has a really hard time functioning with the OS on it (Android 4.0.4). Is there a better firmware package out there for this device that won't drag it down so hard?

    Any tips and tricks how to make Android phone friendly for elderly people?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 03:10 PM PDT

    I have recently bought Samsung S9 to my grandma, she knows basic how to use the phone, i have increased text size and, found good theme that gives clean look, increased the size of keyboard, all important stuff on the home screen, only 1 home screen, widgets for direct calls for most important contacts.

    Is there any other ideas and tips that i can do to help her out navigate this phone.

    Before this she used my old reliable and lovely Nexus 5 which she low key hated because we werent able to increase the text size to the right amount (didn't wanted to do custom roms or any heavy modifications on it) so its quite the steep progress.

    I know Samsung has easy mode, but that makes it harder not easier cause she needs to swipe trough multiple screens to open app.

    Trying to recover old photos off of a Samsung Galaxy S7

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:04 PM PDT

    A few years ago I dropped my phone, and while the phone system is still working, the screen completely broke and is black. The photos and files on it are not backed up. I tried using Droidkit to recover the data, but you need to allow USB debugging for this to work, and I can click on anything since the screen is black. Is there anything I can do to get the data back

    Is there a way to change individual app notification settings?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 08:41 PM PDT

    I've got a pixel 3xl running android 12.

    I just installed a new intercom system (DoorBird) at my home and I'm wondering if there's a way to have any DoorBird notifications be audible while the rest of my notifications are on "Vibrate"

    Or if I can even change the doorbird notifications to pulsate instead of a quick buzz that i frequently miss.

    I've tried searching, but a lot of the replies on this are a few years old / outdated.

    I'm even okay installing a 3rd party app to manage this if someone has a good recommendation.

    I've been using the Google now launcher on my Pixel 5a without issue since the device came out, but since getting the android 12 update I can no longer set it as the default launcher app. Is there any way to force setting this app as the default?

    How do I remove Google Family Link from an old phone?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 07:01 PM PDT

    I used Family Link on my son's account. I've just given him a new phone--an iPhone, by the way---and want to wipe the Android phone he was using. But it won't let me. The phone says I must first deactivate Family Link, but I can't figure out how. When I go to the app on my Android phone, I don't see anything about turning it off. The closest it comes is an option for deleting my son's Google account, which I don't want to do. But if I can't get rid of Family Link, I can't wipe the phone for someone else to use.

    So how do you disengage Family Link? Does anybody know? Thanks.

    Snoozing notifications is incredibly unreliable

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 06:25 PM PDT

    I'm overall in love with my Pixel 6 Pro and mostly Android 12 in general, but the snoozing notifications feature simply does not work. Hitting the "z" clock logo either results in the notification never appearing again or only reappearing once.

    I really wish I also had the option to make a snoozed notification persistent, meaning it engages an audio cue as well. The point of a notification is to get your attention, not pop up under the radar unnoticed. Any time I've had the snooze notification come back it's always silent.

    I've always relied on a legacy Android calendar snoozing app and it looks like I've got to turn back to it once again.

    Anyone with a similar experience or insight?

    Other than losing data, what are the security risks of downgrading from Android 12 back to Android 11?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 02:28 PM PDT

    The notifications interface on Android 12 fucking sucks. What are the risks of going back to 11? And if anyone who developed the notifications pulldown on Android 12 sees this, fuck you for bricking my phone.

    Issues with controller on Galaxy Tab

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:39 PM PDT

    I have a Galaxy Tab S2, model SM-T810. When I use a Gamepad app, it says my A-B-X-Y buttons register as A-B-C-Y and my R1 says it's the Z button. This makes it impossible to have a proper setup for Minecraft.

    It does this with a Playstation 4 controller and a wired one I bought that works fine on my PC when I play it on there.

    Do I have to root the thing, or is there something easier I'm missing?

    Samsung Retail mode A12

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 04:22 PM PDT

    Bought a Samsung A12 off ebay, turned out to be stuck on 'retail mode'!
    I can't get passed the Samsung Retail Mode app (asking for password, 5444 does not work) and recovery doesn't show me 'wipe data/factory reset' option. Also, the app mentioned is device admin with the deactivate button greyed out.
    I got scammed with this purchase, just posting it here in case someone knows a way out before i throw this phone in the trash.

    Suspicious App(s)

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:10 PM PDT

    Long story short I have a paranoid female in my life that I suspect she's got into my mobile. Is there anyway of finding out any Apps that have been installed without me knowing? I some of these spy ones are hidden so don't show in Apps installed that I've searched about.

    Thinking of buying an android phone

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 03:53 PM PDT

    So I was thinking of buying an android device, but I have heard a lot of people talking about pop-ups.

    Does android have pop-ups built into the stock apps (I know ads can appear in unofficial apps) or do the ads come from apps you download? Do those apps sneak in ads onto the rest of your apps? Do the ads come from the manufacturer and producer of the phone?

    I was mostly thinking of buying a galaxy phone if that helps. What do you think?

    How to stop Chrome from reloading tabs when switching back from a different tab?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:07 AM PDT

    I start writing a comment, switch to another tab to quickly check something, go back to the original tab and chrome decided to unload the original tab from memory together with my comment. When I switch back, the tab is reloaded from the internet again and my unsubmitted comment is of course gone.

    This is absolutely infuriating. How to force chrome to keep all tabs in memory and never reload? I dont care if it wastes battery and/or memory.

    Alternatively, if this is not possible in chrome, is there a browser that has such an option?

    Refreshable braille hack support needed

    Posted: 03 Nov 2021 02:44 PM PDT

    I work in accessibility for people who are blind and DeafBlind, and am working on a proprietary hardware product that is Android based, trying to get additional accessibility features going on it. Unfortunately, I can't talk about the specifics of the device, other than to say that I have permission from the company to tinker with it.

    I have TalkBack working, but I'm also trying to get refreshable braille output.

    I've been playing with BRLTTY and trying to get a display working via wired USB, but I'm not having much luck with it. BrailleBack would be ideal, but it's Bluetooth only.

    Unfortunately, the hardware doesn't seem to have an onboard Bluetooth chipset.

    Are there any class compliant Bluetooth dongles that work in the Android environment?

    Fyi, USB OTG issues should not be a sticking point in this scenario, as this hardware has two standard USB A ports, and is happily talking to a standard keyboard, mouse, and wifi adapter via a USB 2 hub.

    Ideas appreciated!
