    I asked someone to help me (though they aren't very helpful more often than they probably should be) but they weren't exactly able to figure it out...

    Should Wifi turn on when Hotspot is turned off?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:34 AM PST

    Howdy,

    Just want to check if my phone is working correctly or not (Moto G7 Power). I use the hotspot feature now and then. When I turn the hotspot on, it turns off my wifi which is expected. However, when I turn hotspot off, it doesn't turn my wifi back on. Many times I don't notice until sometime later when I'm wondering why I'm downloading slow and my data usage is high.

    I'm just curious if Android is supposed to turn the wifi back on when you turn hotspot off or not.

    Can anyone confirm and maybe provide a way to do it if Android doesn't support it on its own?

    This is an update about my last post of the blacklisted note 10+

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:24 AM PST

    So, the "friend", never came to pick it up. When I told him the day before on insta that the phone is blacklister, he left the message as seen and never replied back. I'm now the proud owner of a note 10+, oh well, pretty sure I'll take it to a store to get it unblacklisted.

    Turn off back gesture on right side? Android 12

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 05:17 AM PST

    Is there a way to turn off the back swipe gesture, but only on one side (right)?

    I really like the back swipe on the left side but the one on the right constantly gets in my my way when swiping through things like deleting emails and swiping through pictures on IG.

    Any way to change it to just one side? I didn't see any

    Is there any 16:9 screen android phone?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:58 AM PST

    hello. So now I have redmi note 8T and dude this thing sucks. So I thought I'd buy a new phone. Ideally with more powerful cpu and more ram. But one more thing that infuriates me is screen size. I have 6.3" screen, but I still can't type without misstyping. Its bad. Like a lot. Why do they make it and why do they make a selling point from it? it's stupid. 480439849:9 screen ratio look at it. Tf? Like 95% of online content is in 16:9 so why so tall screen.

    So my question was simple. Is there any decent smartphone with not more than 18:9 screen? ideal would be 16:9. I remember my Lenovo K6 k33a48 had (dude its mayn years old and it had freakin' FULLHD) 16:9 screen and it was smooth af. Thinking about it and maybe Ill buy one.

    Thanks for any reasonable response.

    L2TP/IPSEC PSK Connections on Android 12

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:12 AM PST

    Hello all,

    Android 12 is not supporting L2TP/IPSEC PSK connections anymore? (unless you had the connection setup on your device running 11 then upgraded to 12). My company is working on a new VPN solution, but we need a workaround for the meantime.

    I have looked into the following 3rd party VPN clients and ruled them out due to incompatibilities with our network.

    • OpenVPN
    • WireGuard
    • Tailscale
    • Enterprise VPN Client
    • FortiClient VPN

    Any 3rd party apps that will work for L2TP/IPSEC PSK connections? Thanks!

    SD card formatting for apps

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:03 AM PST

    Recently, I finally got an upgraded sd card. However, i can not seem to move any apps on it to save on internal storage, this is not a case of certain apps just not going on the sd card. I can see the app on the sd card but it still takes up interal storage and I've read that i need to either change the default storage or just quickly format the sd card because it only stores the APK externally. Windows offers me NTFS and exFat. It is on a Samsung Galaxy S9 and a 128GB SanDisk card.

    Feature similar to iPad Center Stage

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:03 AM PST

    Is there a feature similar to iPad's center stage/Portal smart camera on android devices? Center Stage adjusts the camera automatically to keep the user in frame when they move.

    Wondering if the S5 mini g800H dual sim unlocked will still have any purpose, especially after 3G shutdown. For US or international travel. Any idea?

    Some apps require a notification to be able to run in the background and avoid being closed by the System. My question is, will they continue to do this if I hide the notification from the System settings? (in this case Settings->Apps->Syncthing->Notifications->Hide notification)

    Here's the notification I want to hide and the settings where I'm thinking of turning off the notification https://imgur.com/a/HVoBcPB

    My husband and I both updated our phones and now they are pretty much useless. Screen goes black. Both phones bought new this year. Any help for us?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:40 AM PST

    Our phones started the new update automatically and now the screens are blinking black. Really hard to unlock it. My husbands phone won't do anything this morning. He can't even restart it. It's completely bricked. Mine is still usable but the screen constantly goes black and apps close. I don't think it's a coincidence it happened immediately after the update. I have a Galaxy S21 and my husband has a Galaxy xcover pro so they are newer phones and had no issues up until this point. Anyone know what do to? I have a business and we need our phones for work.

    No option to restore from Google One backup after phone reset

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 07:26 AM PST

    I got the Android 12 update on my phone yesterday and it didn't go well, so I ran a backup on Google One and wiped my phone. After getting it up and running again I'm finding there's no option in Google One to restore the backup I made, even though it shows it in the app.

    It was trying to run an initial backup after getting everything setup initially so I ran that and now my phone is listed twice under Device Backup.

    How do I restore from a Google One backup? There's no option anywhere to do this. I can live without my app setting and call history, but I kinda need my texts back. That was the whole reason I made the backup to begin with. What's even the point of offering a backup and then refusing to let you restore from it?

    Any modified ROM for a Moto G3 (2015)?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 07:07 AM PST

    I had been using Lineage OS and it worked pretty well, but the app I use for my bank stopped working with that ROM, so I switched to the official Android 6.1, but it works pretty slow and now my phone is looping, won't turn on (something that had already happened to me months ago). So is there any modified ROM that works with bank apps (BBVA in this case)?

    USB debogging through tv screen

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 07:05 AM PST

    Hi all,

    So recently I broke my phone screen (a Huawei P30). I wasn't able to get my files from the phone to the pc as the usb debogging couldn't get activated (as the screen is both black and broken).

    So I followed the instruction from the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF-XNHMZlFU&t=463s

    Now, I was able to get the main screen to show on the tv, and the phone answer both to the mouse and the keyboard. However, when trying to insert the password, the phone just turns off. I can get back to the main screen again, but each time I try to go through it and reach the app, I get a black screen.
    Can anyone help me?

    2FA - two'factor authentication - how to disable it on second phone?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 03:17 AM PST

    I have authenticator apps on 2 phones. Second one got sent in for repairs, and I'm a bit paranoid (they would do a full wipe of course, but... who knows?).

    How do I make the authentication on that phone invalid? Like is there a way to reset your Google and Microsoft authenticators so that they are only valid on the one phone I have now?

    Why are there two different Google Pay apps on the play store? Is Google ever planning on combining them?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:01 PM PST

    I was surprised to see the Pay app recommended to me while browsing the play store since I thought I had already installed it. So I installed it again. Turns out there's two apps and they've both been updated within the past few weeks. Both can store credit cards for contactless pay. But you can only send money to individuals on one app. While on the other you can store things like concert tickets and your Costco card. I thought this was pretty weird and confusing to call them the same name.

    Contact's names won't show up on messages

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 12:12 AM PST

    Got the pixel 6 pro and synced my contacts. They are all there in the phone book but on the messages app it just shows their number instead of contact name. If I click on the number and open up the contact it shows the name but not when viewing the message.

    I heard deleting the message app and reinstalling fixes this but I don't know how to uninstall it because it's the default Google message app

    Google messages for web keeps unpairing on my PC

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 04:43 AM PST

    So it'0s not an issue with disconnecting, but it comp0letely unpairs. And keeps asking to use the QR code to pair again.

    I always click to remember this computer.

    I use Chrome stable.

    Not sure what is causing it, when, or how to fix it.

    Anyone else has this issues?

    Most seem to have issue where once started, it will say it's not connected to a phone. This one is different and have not seen similar posts.
