    Is it necessary to clear apps on Android?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:26 AM PST

    New Android user here, coming from iPhone and on that platform, closing apps isn't necessary because iOS has background app refresh settings where you can disable it per app. Does Android have a similar setting? Or do I simply close out an app when I'm done using it?

    Thanks in advance!

    How do I restore the old swipe-down icons in new Android update?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:21 AM PST

    I reckon I can put up with most changes to the Android interface, but one is driving me nuts: now, the swipe-down icons for turning on/off WiFi, battery saver, night-time mode etc have changed from simple little round icons that can be quickly swiped through to clumsy big icons with visible names, and now I need to swipe down, then down AGAIN, then left or right to access them all.

    How can I change it back to the old, less cumbersome style? I know what all these icons mean, FFS. When I click the settings cog under the new options, it just takes me to the general settings, rather than the specific one for this function, and I don't know where to look.

    Can't receive verification codes on s20 FE

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:18 AM PST

    I recently got a new S20 FE on Fido and now can't receive verification codes for Google Pay or Samsung Pay. I have received verification codes from password resets for facebook, hotmail, etc. I'm on Android version 11.

    Things I've tried: Restarting network and restarting phone

    Clearing cache from messages

    Making sure none of the numbers or messages were blocked

    Try to get the code on wifi and off wifi

    Making sure I can receive premium messages

    Message inbox isn't full

    Put Fido sim card into older phone

    Pretty much anything I found on Google I've tried. Short of calling the bank or my provider (which most people say does nothing) I'm not sure what else to try.

    I just want to edit the floating feature to have Google Discovery on my Samsung, but you need root to edit system files, is there a workaround with no root or adb?

    P20 pro Bluetooth pairing inquiry every 10 seconds

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 03:04 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I was going to paair a new device to my huawei p20 pro via Bluetooth. By mistake I've chosen the wrong device which sends me now a pairing inquiry every 10 seconds when BT is enabled.

    It's not possible to disconnect the device. A restart of the system wasn't helpful either. I won't reset the complete phone.

    I can't find an setting to disable that my BT is seen by strangers devices. Also I can't find a setting to allow inquiries only by paired devices.

    Google wasn't pretty helpful. Do you know this issue?

    I hope everything is clearly enough.

    Thank you for advice!

    Restore app data from google drive on new samsung phone

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 02:57 AM PST

    How can I restore my backup on my new device (its a samsung S21)? On my old phone I've enabled google backups and all my apps have saved their data on my google drive . Now I want to import this backup on my new samsung phone but it does not ask my to import my data...

    Can anyone help me with this?

    I should be asked after resetting my phone to import a backup from an old phone but I'm not asked. I never see a question about importing my old backups like it's described e.g. here: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-restore-your-apps-and-settings-new-android-phone

    I don't want to use a samsung service like the smart switch because I don't use samsung services at all - I really want to use the native google backups. Actually I just want that newly installed apps use the backup to restore their own data

    Dual boot tablet trouble..

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:48 PM PST

    Hello, noob to the community here. Anyway.

    I have a dual boot windows/android tablet. Updating the windows side was simple but the android side is kind sketchy.

    I'm stuck on KitKat 4.4.4...aaand the maker is gone, so, no updates or support there.

    Can anyone give or point to an update guide that won't mess with the existing dual boot?

    Thanks.

    The new system update has completely change how my phone looks and I want it to look how it did before

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:35 PM PST

    Firstly: there is now a big obnoxious clock on the front of my phone whenever I open it, and it looks so ugly. Secondly: whenever I swipe up to open my lock screen for some reason it, instead of just having the keypad in front of my wallpaper like it used to, it take me to some shadow realm keypad. Thirdly: whenever I swipe to close tabs it sends them to the shadow realm too and the wallpaper just disappears.

    Those things I urgently need a change the rest I can sort of live With.

    My keyboard whenever I type a big bubble of the the letter I just typed and is generally super annoying. Whenever I pull my notification tab down that just looks awful

    This new system update did nothing for my phone and it makes everything look, feel, and just exist worse

    If you can give me a hand with any of these issues it'd be greatly appreciated

    Auto Spell Check Missing After Update

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 09:27 PM PST

    After I updated my Samsung s21 I noticed my auto spell check that underlined things in red was missing, and I cannot find a way to put it back and it's so frustrating. There is no option in settings for it anymore

    I got a couple of question regarding developer option.

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 01:05 AM PST

    1. Do force 4x MSAA throttle the phone?
    2. Do game driver preference do anything when you change it?
    3. What does system tracing do?
    4. Why is it that "turn on WiFi coverage extension" automatically turn off whenever I leave the developer setting
    5. What does "disable HW overlays" do?

    Just answering one of them would be greatly appreciated.

    Keep Google from trying to open links in apps

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:47 PM PST

    So my issue may be pretty isolated, but for things like reddit or YouTube I tend to use opera to open, a- because opera has a ln ad blocker plugin, and b- at work I can use it's VPN plugin to access reddit.

    My issue is that the Google search app constantly tries to open search links in apps, is there a way to turn this off so it defaults to my browser?

    Dictionary Popup - Android 11

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:16 PM PST

    I've just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the popup dictionary (Collins Dictionary) doesn't work on, for example, news websites I subscribe to. The options on the popup menu are Copy, Share, Select All and Web search, with no 3-dot/dictionary option.

    It does, however, work on, for example, a Google search results page, with the addition of the Dictionary option under the 3-dot options.

    This worked fine on my old Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (Android 9) without my having to change any settings. It has the [DB] Collins Cobuild Advanced Dictionary installed, as does the Ultra, and on Web pages where the popup has the Dictionary option, the Ultra is using the Collins Dictionary.

    Much of the advice in a Google search is unfortunately out of date and I'm now going nuts! Any help would therefore be much appreciated. TIA.

    How to factory reset A51 with PC? (Tried all button methods)

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 05:07 PM PST

    My A51 will start restart and show the powered by android screen, and I can hear my ringtone when called, but the screen will stay black and will not react. I have tried to go into recovery mode to reset it but I am just brought to a "download custom OS" screen when I hold down the buttons mentioned. Thank you for any help.

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

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:51 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 who said It worked fine, 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,

    Android noob

    Oneplus 8 will randomly vibrates, all the time.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:47 PM PST

    Just got a used Oneplus 8 last week. It was factory reset, updated to 11.0.5, and cache wiped. I'll get random vibrations for it every few minutes, and the game I'm playing will hang for a second, like I'm getting a notification, but I am not. Might be like a phantom notification, whats is happening? Thanks!

    Pop Up with Keeper app

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:13 PM PST

    Hi everyone. Since updating to one ui 4 a pop up has appeared on my screen with the keeper app icon. It can move around the screen anywhere and be hidden along the side where the icon goes away and is replaced by a person. Tapping on it and holding it does nothing other than allowing me to move it. I can't figure out what it is, or how to get rid of it, any ideas?
