    Gifting an old tablet to a bed ridden family friend. Wifi will not turn on after a factory reset. Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T230NU

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:28 PM PST

    Hi helpful redditors. Long story short, a family friend is bed ridden in a medicaid facility with basically nothing to do all day. I purchased an old tablet off of facebook marketplace with the intention of downloading all of the streaming apps and logging in to my accounts on there so she'd have something to do. (I confirmed with the facility that there is wifi).

    The device is a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T230NU. Android Version 4.4.2

    After doing a factory reset, the device literally won't let me enable wifi. I click the icon and it immediately turns itself back off. I found a couple of really old threads where people had the same issue, but no firm solution was ever posted. I believe it to be a software issue as the previous owner stated that wifi worked for them (grain of salt). I was thinking I could update it to Android 5.0 and that might help me get around it? Clearly I'm a total novice and accidentally signed up for too much work. I'm hoping some of you may advice. Thanks in advance.

    Play Store only shows short description?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:23 PM PST

    Play store only shows the short description for apps, even when I try to expand it for more details. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to change it, or is this how it is "supposed" to be for play store on mobile devices? I am using a Pixel 4a 5G

    Is the Chromecast with Google TV still a good deal?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:54 AM PST

    The device is about a year old at this point and the newest review I can find is about 6 months old. All reviews mentioning potential upcoming features and most of them say it's the best Android TV experience you can get for the price.

    I was wanting to know if that is still the case? Has software updates improved anything? Are more game streaming apps like Xcloud available on it now? Has the performance degraded or improved with software updates? A lot of what ifs.

    Unlock options for LG phone without data loss after death of the owner

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:18 PM PST

    A family friend of my family had the unexpected death of their son in an accident. They'd like to be able to access his phone without data loss to preserve things on there, and they've turned to me for help, as I'm one of the more tech-savvy people they know.

    The model is an LG K500MM. The screen is locked with a finger swipe code, and I currently have the device in my possession. I've looked into software to unlock it, but everything I've been able to find will erase the data on an LG phone. Is there any way to be able to get this unlocked, perhaps through the phone carrier upon submission of a death certificate, software, or any method that anyone is aware of, without causing data loss? I'd really like to be able to help them out, but I'm not too confident at the moment. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Random translucent bar appeared above the navigation bar

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:10 PM PST

    The bar is around an inch wide, sort of looks like the edge panel. Only appears on the home screen and only since I transferred from a faulty S21 to a new one today. Has anyone dealt with this before?

    Many thanks

    I want to upgrade from my Galaxy S10+, but I REALLY want to keep my headphone jack.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:49 AM PST

    So over the last few years, I had the Pixel 2, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and now the Galaxy S10+. My Pixel 2 ran it's life, and I traded my note for the Galaxy because I found the stylus useless and cheap feeling but found myself desperate for a headphone jack. It was a worthy trade for me. That said, I am really not a fan of Samsung phones and my device is paid off now. Checked my upgrade options from Rogers, their selection is kinda terrible and NONE of the phones on offer have a headphone jack so I noped out of that. It doesn't HAVE to be a brand new model or THE fastest or something, just a relative upgrade from the S10 Plus and with a headphone jack.

    I want to clarify a couple of things too:

    • I use IEMs and have both wired and wireless cables for them, so it's not like I've totally refused to try switching to Bluetooth
    • I have an okay set of TWS Bluetooth buds
    • I actually DO prefer using a wire / headphone jack and use it almost daily ever since several months ago when I finally ditched the dongle life.
    • I don't like dongles because good ones are expensive, standard ones are built like crap and break easy, in my experience shifting the plug around a bit loses connection momentarily, it sticks out of my pocket uncomfortably, and they get lost easy.
    • I don't like Bluetooth audio because I prefer to have no latency, don't like needing to remember to keep a charge on it, I don't want to abandon my favorite IEMs for TWS ones, and Bluetooth cables just don't sit still on my neck.

    Thanks very much in advance!

    Phone doesn't ring, can't attach files.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:11 PM PST

    Facing these issues for several months on Huawei Y7 Prime 2019 Android 8.1. Phone doesn't ring in incoming calls. I cannot hear the voice of the caller in incoming and outgoing calls. Calls on WhatsApp, etc works fine. The ringtones setting show empty list. When I open it for sometime the list shows up and I can select a ringtone. Then calls ring and voice comes for a few minutes or hours and then again this issue arises. Also I cannot attach files anywhere, Gmail, WhatsApp, Google, nowhere. When I select the files option it opens files for a second and then exits. Also Camera crashes while taking pictures and screen shot doesn't save except when I clear gallery data and open the app. After a few minutes again same problem starts. Please suggest solutions. These all issues seem interconnected. PS: Phone rings and camera works in safe mode. Not aware of file attachment problem since Gmail and WhatsApp doesn't work in safe mode.

    Facebook keeps reinstalling itself on my phone. How can I stop this?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:36 AM PST

    I have a Moto G7 Power with Android 10 and am under a TracFone plan if that matters.

    I don't remember for sure, but I think my phone came preinstalled with Facebook. I have uninstalled it many times, but it always comes back within days. And by uninstall, I mean it actually uninstalls; I click the "Uninstall" option in settings, and the app disappears completely. It no longer shows up in any files or any places in my phone.

    I also have Facebook App Installer disabled.

    How does it keep coming back? I really dont like having Facebook on my phone for various reasons, and it's frustrating me a bit. Any tips on how to stop it from reinstalling?

    Videos from iPhone's are not sending correctly to my Android

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:56 PM PST

    I'm a new Android user I've been on iOS for the past 5 years and just recently switched to a galaxy S10+ and I need a bit of assistance. I turned off iMessage on my old phone after switching the SIM via wifi and I can receive regular texts from iOS users fine.

    Ok so my dad sent me a 18 second recording of dash cam footage via his iphone but it just sent me 2 blurry frames of it as well as 18 sec long audio file separate. I saw the message he sent me on his phone and it looks normal and he also texted it to someone else with an Android don't know their specs though.

    Not sure if it matters but I made Google messages my default texting app. I couldn't find anything in my settings that seemed to relate.. any ideas?

    Thanks

    Upgraded my phone. Now BT is disconnecting;

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:42 PM PST

    I upgraded from a Pixel 2 XL to a 4a 5G. My Spigen Legato earbuds are instantly dropping the connection. It will drop the connection and then immediately reconnect. This started happening immediately after pairing to the new phone. I changed the battery optimization for BT services so that it is not battery ⠀optimized just in case this was the issue, but it is still happening. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Factory reset Android and recover from Google backup

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:30 AM PST

    If I factory reset my phone and then just allow Google to "restore" my account and data from it's backup, what does it actually put back on? Is it "clean"? Is it just account information and clean install of apps that it puts on? I want my phone to run as well as possible and would rather do it all manually if it's the better option.

    What tech support communities are available on the internet for consultation other than the ones on reddit?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 11:41 AM PST

    I would like to know more about what sort of tech-savvy communities are there available on the internet besides the ones that I usually find on reddit. I already know about the likes of XDA developers and such but I would also like to find some more websites alternatives to use so that I can ask for more questions and tips.

    Are Android tablets already powerful & convenient enough for coding or programming?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:02 AM PST

    Doesn't have to be very heavy use.

    Would only use it for scripting and web development.

    I'm looking for something more lightweight than my laptop and it seems tablets could be a great replacement.

    So I have an s8 that is destroyed. The battery is damaged as well. The phone won't turn on at all. Yes I did the press and hold trick. I want to get my pictures and videos back but I can't find a good solution. No I didn't connect my phone to the onedrive so I can't get them from there.

    Question about storage for Google Play-certified devices

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:33 AM PST

    Does Google require that these devices use eMMC, or could a manufacturer theoretically install Android on upgradeable storage media such as a SSD, and still get clearance for Google Play services?

    Tracking the GPS location of an Android phone

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:10 AM PST

    Hello everyone.

    I need a way to track an Android phone's GPS location at all times, preferably continuously updating me. Most importantly, it shouldn't require any physical access to the phone.

    I have a teenage son going through a really strange phase. I already talked to him and we agreed on therapy, but even his doctor recommended following him remotely to make sure he's out of harm's way.

    So to make it clear, I don't want to spy on his calls or messages. Just a continuous access to his specific location.

    Thank you.

    I've been using Infinix note 10 pro for a while and as we've seen Android 12 roll out I believe my device won't get an update according to companies history so how can get a custom android 12 Rom. As far as I've searched no one's making roms for infinix devices and i can't even find a TWRP for it

    AB test of Android copy paste pop-up HELP

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:28 AM PST

    Using this article: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/alfa-bank-ping-russiagate/

    I have 2 phones side by side my OnePlus Mclaren 7t pro and my Pixel 6

    When I select all the McLaren pop up menu appears so I can copy all the text while..

    When I select all on the pixel the pop up never appears

    I noticed that the OnePlus while the pop up shows up it lags indicating it struggles to cache the selection but completes but the Pixel just can't complete the task.

    I use a spritz reader readsy to consume these 4000 word docs on the go and select all is best way to transport into reader. So it sucks that my new flagship currently can't keep up with old one in a primary task

    What say you?
