    Disabling hardware overlay

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:07 AM PST

    I gave back a carrier branded Oppo Find X3 Neo believing it had a defective screen to get another one on offer on Amazon no brand, but this too crushes the black / dark scenes with halos, pixels, marked shades, artifacts, etc ... A guy told me did go in the developer options and put the flag to "disable hardware overlay" and now It doesn't do this "defect" anymore but I noticed that the battery drops significantly faster ... Do you know what that setting does and if there is a way to solve the problem without activating it and without making a second return? PS: apparently not all the Neo as that defect (which is seen more when you have high brightness)

    How to switch the default camera to front facing.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 11:43 AM PST

    Hi all,

    As the title suggests, is it possible to switch the default camera to the front facing camera? Any tweaks in the system to enable this?

    I'm on Android 7.0.

    The reason I want to try this; my main camera is damaged - I suspect due to rainwater. It can still take photos and video (though they come out slightly blurry) but it can't recognize QR codes - which I now need to enable whatsapp.web on a laptop.

    When I select the whatsapp.web option on my phone, it automatically opens the back camera to scan the QR code. So if I can change the default camera to the front facing, I may be able to scan the QR code.

    Of course this may not be a camera issue at all but at least it's something I can rule out.

    Thanks, Vince.

    Is it possible to transfer apps and data from rooted android 2.3.7 tablet to (not rooted) android 9 tablet?

    Is it possible to transfer apps and data from rooted android 2.3.7 tablet to (not rooted) android 9 tablet?

    hi, I have a very old rooted android tablet that I want to move the data to an android 9 tablet. I looked everywhere; helium, adb commands, but all of them require android 4.0+. Is there any way around this, or is android 2.0x just so old no one supports it anymore?

    - Note: this is my first post

    Two Pixel 3as on the same network, one can RCS the other can only SMS

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 11:16 AM PST

    Solved
    I deleted the thread on the SMS phone then hit the "start chat" button and selected the other phone. Typing notifications, etc. are working now.

    Both using Google Messages, Android 12. RCS is enabled on both phones and both say 'Connected'.
    Messages sent from phone 1 to phone 2 will always initiate an RCS chat. Messages sent the other way always revert to SMS.
    RCS used to work between these phones, but I'm not sure what changed. I've tried clearing storage for Carrier Services on the SMS phone but it didn't work.
    How can I get RCS working?

    Why did the casting icon suddenly appear and then disappeared from my volume settings? Why does the cast icon sometimes appear in my YouTube and other apps even though I don't have any device that supports it?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:55 AM PST

    It's weird, I was turning up the volume and the cast icon suddenly appeared there with the normal volume and notification volumes, like if I was already streaming or casting, I'm using a Huawei y9 pro if that makes any difference. I've been thinking someone is spying on my device somehow.

    How do I keep my Audible Player notification at the top of the drop down list?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:53 AM PST

    I'm considering switching from iPhone to Android due to a very specific hardware problem. I want to know if Android has this problem too.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:44 AM PST

    I have an iPhone 8 that is around two years old and it will not charge without me physically pressing the charger into the phone. I press the nub of the charger into the phone and it charges, but the moment I let go the phone stops charging. This isn't the first iPhone I've owned and they all ended up dying this way.

    Do Android phones also have this problem? I like having a smartphone, but I don't want to have to replace it every few years.

    How can I easily get an M3u8 URL from any streaming video/ live ?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:37 AM PST

    Probably bricked my pixel 4a.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:30 AM PST

    Flashed a modified boot.img file and rebooted. Now I get a corrupt OS error. No root, that was the goal. Tried to sideload the image.zip from development.google.com and no go. Getting a device unauthorized in terminal kill-server, shell, rebooted and no go. No backups, did dumb. Is the pooch screwed?

    Missing snapchat cache

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:21 AM PST

    Hello, so before any judgement flows my way this is not nude related lol. I recently reconnected with someone and I really would like to get back some old messages and pictures we exchanged on snapchat. Its a lot more complicated than i worded it but yeah lol. I tried different techniques online but I keep being led to .nomedia files which are apparently supposed to exist in my snapchat cache folder. Only thing is the folder is empty on my phone. I have allowed hidden files to be shown as well. Others say i should root and do a deep recovery but both my warranty and my limited trust in myself to not break the phone completely prevent me from doing so. I have a galaxy s10+ btw. Anyways, anything non root related and any advice as to how to find these .nomedia files is much appreciated.

    Removing song/album covers from Google Photos

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 09:30 AM PST

    I use Musicolet for all of my music, and when I download the music files so that I can listen to them, it automatically creates a new folder for the album or song, and it puts the image file for the song or album cover inside of it. However, this means that I now have hundreds of these individual folders sitting in the device folder section of Google photos.

    Basically, I want a way exclude all of these from Google photos. They're all contained within my Music folder, and there are no other images that I would need access to that are in that folder.

    Is there a simple way to just exclude the Music folder from Google photos in order to not show them in the device folders section?

    Pixel 4 issue

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 09:19 AM PST

    I have a pixel 4, the adhesive for the back glass is kind of losing its grip. It's to the point where I could (with enough elbow grease) pull off the back panel with my bare hands. Does anyone know an easy fix or where to buy new adhesive?

    Unbrick Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (SM-P610)?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 08:56 AM PST

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet that I have bricked pretty hard, and am looking for a point in the right direction to get it recovered.

    I went through the process to get LineageOS installed successfully, so everything is unlocked. But something happened when I tried to get Magisk installed. Now the tablet will only come up with a big exclamation point "An error has occurred while updating the device software". I can't get into download or recovery modes and none of the usual tools (Odin, Heimdall, or adb) can see the device. Samsung Smart Switch acknowledges when the device is plugged in, but it can't seem to do anything either as the device doesn't show up in the Emergency Software Recovery. I have also tried a couple random generic Android one-click unbrick tools, but the couple that I have tried don't have SM-P610 as a listed option.

    I have the stock ROMs downloaded via Frija (AP, BL, CSC), so I suspect that I have what I need at hand, but nothing seems to be able to send these to the device.

    Any pointers that may get me to a place where I can install the original ROMs and try again? Anything that can help this tablet show signs of life?

    Untitled presentation file in my drive that I never downloaded

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 08:19 AM PST

    Hello.

    I've got pretty much the exact same issue as described here, in that I a couple time a day get an Android notification that someone commented on "untitled presentation".

    The reference article suggest blocking the user, but when I open Google Drive I can't find any presentation name "untitled presentation", so I have no way to block the user.

    Has anyone here had the same issue, and knows how to fix it?

    I apologize if this was not the ideal subreddit to post this question on, but https://www.reddit.com/r/google rejected it, and plus this happens only on my Android device (as opposed to my desktop), so in that regards it may be a suitable post for this subreddit after all.

    Google Phone app is unable to be set as default. But it's the only phone app on the device?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 08:18 AM PST

    I just bought a OnePlus 9 pro. Everything is going smoothly except for when I try to access the phone app, I get this screen : https://imgur.com/AAA0mFE.jpg

    Tapping on "set as default" seems to do nothing.

    I have tried reinstalling and it doesn't work.

    Any suggestions?

    What can't you do on a non-Pixel Android phone?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:56 AM PST

    I've mostly used Nexus/Pixel phones and was going to get the pixel 6 Pro when it came out but am holding off for now due to a lot of issues I'm reading about the signal loss problems many people have reported and honestly, I'm not too crazy about the curved screen and all the glass since I tend to use my phone in rougher environments. And there is no more unlimited photos on google photos so there is no extra incentive to stay with the Pixel line. I don't think my current phone will last for another year so I'm coming to terms with the possibility of *egads* using a non-google phone.

    My only experience with non-Pixel phones is helping set up feature phones from Moto and Samsung for older relatives and it always feels weird because their contact list isn't the google contact list. How hard is to keep a Samsung or OnePlus contact list with Google Contacts? Do I have to sync everything everytime I add or delete a name or is it done automatically? While on the topic, can I just use the Google contacts app or am I stuck with the manufacturer?

    How does Google Assistant work? Can I still say "Ok Google" from across the room and unlock my phone automatically or does it only work when the phone is unlocked?

    What about saved passwords? Are my saved passwords on google's password manager still useable?

    How easy is it to transfer all my apps, saved wifi passwords, etc. to a new phone? Going from Nexus to Pixel was nearly automatic. Is that the case with non-google phones too?

    Data reset

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:42 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I am changing phones and i want to delete everything, literally to have no trace of me using the phone.

    Will the factory data reset do the job or are there any additional steps i have to take in order to do it.

    So the next persone using it can never see anything aboat me.

    Apps deactivated due to inactivity

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:23 AM PST

    I got a notification today that a few apps have been deactivated due to inactivity... Mostly games that I haven't played for a few months.

    But one of the apps was Google's "find my device".

    Is there a way to make it so that "find my device", and other important (but rarely used) apps will never be deactivated?

    Device: Google pixel 4a 5G

    OS: Android 12
