    Best pdf app? Android Help

    Best pdf app? Android Help


    Best pdf app?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 10:14 PM PST

    So apparently the built in Google drive app doesn't do anything besides view PDFs; you can't edit them or anything.

    What's the best - preferably foss - pdf app for Android? Ideally it would be fully featured with the ability to view, edit, redact, and sign while on the go.

    How do I get my phone to stop pairing with my mom's car?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 07:32 PM PST

    In settings my mom's car isn't listed as paired

    On the smart things app my mom's car isn't listed as a paired device

    Yet when I pull down the notification bar and click on devices it has my mom's car as a paired device and automatically connects to it.

    It's incredibly annoying having my audio disconnected so suddenly and obvious stuff no one wants their parents listening to.

    How do I get rid of my mom's car as a paired device?

    Edit: I have a galaxy s20 incase that's needed

    Google Find My Device - not updating location

    Posted: 03 Jan 2022 02:11 AM PST

    I've set up Google Find My Device on phones before without a problem but have just set it up on a Motorola phone and it won't update the location when the phone is on the move, even though it can see the phone in the 'home' location. (I've also set it up on Motorola phones before)

    I can see the battery percentage and even initiate the Play Sound on Google (on my PC browser) but, as mentioned, the location of the phone never changes.

    Signal quality is fine, I've hunted online for ideas and tried various suggestions. I've also downloaded some GPS test software and that's working okay so the phone hardware isn't the problem, it's a config issue somewhere but I can't figure it out.

    Any ideas please?

    Or is there a better free alternative?

    What's the different between PiP and Appear on top? What happens if I only allow one? Any example?

    Do newer Samsung phones support file system formats on SD cards other than exFAT?

    I'm hoping for anything that supports case sensitivity.

    S21 Ultra QR Reader Issues

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 09:35 PM PST

    https://imgur.com/a/j9mMWfN

    My wife's phone had an update and since the update, when scanning QR codes (with built-in camera app), it now has "show options" instead of "tap here to go to "insert URL" in your browser". My S20 Ultra still has one tap to load the url in browser.

    How can I fix this?

    We live in an area that requires QR code check-in for everywhere you go, so we scan A LOT of QR codes.

    Most notifications not working on Doogee x95 pro

    Posted: 03 Jan 2022 01:01 AM PST

    As the title says, most apps won't send notifications. The only exceptions are Whatsapp, line and clash royale. It's not about messages, since I don't receive notifications from Instagram dms.

    Some old forums said the problem could be solved by making apps system apps, but that didn't do it.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling apps didn't work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Are there any smartwatches that have a camera on them and are customizable (such as running Android 4) to take a photo every 3 seconds?

    Are there any smartwatches that have a camera on them and are customizable (such as running Android 4). I want to have a small device that takes a photo every 3 seconds. So far I found this device on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Smartwatch-Android-Bluetooth-Smartwatches-Golden/dp/B013W2WDSO

    Getting random "Time to Leave For" notifications from Google Maps. Is this concern for a breached account or is this just spam?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 03:45 PM PST

    At least once a week I'm receiving "Time to leave now for XYZ" notifications. They're always for local restaurants in the city I live in, but they're never places I eat at. I don't google them or look them up ever, although I know of them.

    A while back there was a scam/virus thing going on where people could put random reservations/items on your Google Calendar and the body text was full of virus links. But this obviously contains no links...so I don't get it.

    Does anyone else get this or know what this could be?

    Manage my android phone hotspot

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 07:08 PM PST

    Now that I am working from home, I am using my old android phone internet connection as a hotspot for my work. Can I have something which would prioritize the internet speed on my PC with respect to other devices connected to phone?
    Also I want to keep a check on what are the devices getting connected and how much data they used as an individual.

    I am using Pixel experience custom ROM in a xiaomi device.
    Thank you

    Not receiving all texts on my Pixel 6 Pro from my friend with an iPhone

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 06:10 PM PST

    I have a Pixel 6 Pro. My friend with an iPhone (not sure which one, but it's older), and I noticed that I wasn't receiving all of their texts. It happens occasionally, but it's still annoying not knowing whether or not they replied yet. I use Google Messages.

    This also happened to me before when I had a Pixel 3XL when I texted other people. I have never owned an iPhone, so it can't be an issue of not disabling iMessage on my end. I have T-Mobile, and I'm not sure what carrier they have. Aside from switching messaging platforms, anyone have any thoughts on how to possibly fix this?

    TIA

    Moto G Play 2021 lock power, volume buttons and quick settings panel?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 05:52 PM PST

    For the Moto G Play 2021 running Android 11, is there a way to fully lock the volume and power buttons, and the quick settings panel? I cannot find a way to do this, so when the phone is in my pocket it's constantly changing the ringer volume or turning off the ringer altogether, as well as engaging or turning off features via the quick settings panel. Password screen lock does not prevent this behavior.

    Recover data / start up old phone

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:22 PM PST

    Hey there, I have the following issue:

    Today while rummaging through boxes I hadn't unpacked since moving the last time, I found my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S+). I wanted to check if it still worked and, sure enough, after quite some time on the charger, it turned on. I was greeted by my lockscreen and can not, for the life of me, remember the code. I thought "whatever, just unlock it through my google account." Problem is, I do not have any internet connection on the thing. Can't turn on Wifi either, because the pull-down menu doesn't work. IDK if that's due to the lock or if it's just an old and broken phone.

    Is there any way that I can get the old thing to work without erasing everything, oder at least access old pictures via Windows or whatever?

    Hi, I have a Samsung galaxy a12 and the app "AR Emoji" is showing up in my app list but I cannot use it? I have the option to disable it though. I'm wondering why it's even on my phone if I can't use it...

    Cameras acting up on LG G8, not sure if it's hardware or software

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:02 PM PST

    What can be causing phone cameras to malfunction? It affects all 3 cameras on the phone including selfie cam so it's unlikely to be a hardware issue. At start up, it's black for a while and once the image view appears, it's choppy and keeps freezing. It's also blurry and won't focus. Sometimes there's a message saying to clean the lens. Things I tried: Rebooting (didn't work) Downloading another camera app (works better than stock app but still not reliably) and using apps like messenger/Instagram to take photos through them (didn't work). Checking for system updates (all up to date). Clearing camera app data and cache. (Still takes long for black screen to disappear and still choppy, but can focus now).

    Only thing I haven't done is factory reset and it's a very annoying step to take especially since it doesn't guarantee a fix. I'd rather try something else first.

    What is the bar for below the screen?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 09:34 AM PST

    I'm referring to the bar below the home screen that is always the same, depending on which apps you have put there. I'm believing it is called some type of dock or something? The reason I'm asking such a question like this, is I'm wanting to get better knowledge of Android and how to use my smartphone and tablet better and more efficient and understand more of it.

    As I'm used to working with Windows desktop computers and laptops, smartphones and tablets are still relatively new to me. And I'm not really understanding these devices fully either.

    I have some experience with them. And I have learned they have some usage and there are situations they are coming in handy. But that's it.

    Please help me out.

    Is there a way to selectively require password on next unlock?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:43 PM PST

    Have an S20. I noticed that maybe once a day when I go to an unlock the phone it requires a password instead of a fingerprint.

    Got me thinking. Is there a way to trigger that as a requirement sometimes?

    Backing up/transferring phone with a broken screen

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 05:36 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    Long story short, my giant ASUS ROG 3 fell out of my pocket on New Years and the screen is completely inoperable. I'm looking to get the google pixel 6 pro - this isn't available for another 3 weeks though.

    My question - is there a way to back up my phone on the computer (or even transfer to the new phone) without accepting any prompts on the ASUS phone?

    I know photos can be grabbed but I'm not sure about local contacts etc. Any other advice/methods appreciated!

    Is there any way to unlock an Android phone from a PC?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 08:51 AM PST

    A friend of mine has her phone screen completely broken, it can't display anything other than a yellow screen. Is there any way to unlock it from a PC to get access to the files? She's got the password, but she simply can't input it. ADB and developer mode aren't enabled on that phone.

    Calendar assistance!

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 05:08 PM PST

    I gave a N64 rom permission to use my calendar without really thinking about it. Now my calendar has a dozen spam appointments everyday for the rest of time.

    Also McAffe (which I didn't even know my phone had) is freaking out about viruses.

    Does anyone know how to fix my calendar? I already uninstalled the N64 emulator and the game I tried to download.

    Shazam pop up with Android 11

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 12:39 PM PST

    I'm trying to use Shazam pop up with my Galaxy s20 FE on Android 11 (UI 3.0) and bluetooth headphones (Galaxy buds Pro).

    Shazam can't seem to pick up sound and recognize no title this way. I had no problem with my Galaxy S7 running Android 8.

    Problem/restrictions accessing the internal microphone with Android 11 when wireless headphones are used ?

    Thx in avance for your answers and tips :)

    My Android doesn't recognize the Shanwan PS3 controller. Only work the left joystick.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 03:17 PM PST

    Hello to everyone, recently I tried to play in PPSSPP with a fake PS3 controller from Shanwan, I didn't care because I could play on PC without problems. The problem with my case is that my phone only recognizes the left joystick, and R2 and L2 buttons work as the right joystick. I watched a lot of videos on Youtube but I didn't find the solution. I hope you can help me with this.

    Is there a way to make do not disturb totally hide notifications, not just silence them?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:52 PM PST

    I know I can turn off notifications per app, but is there a way to have them turned off only when do not disturb is on or is there an app that does this?

    When I'm trying to focus, I want to be able to still use my phone without seeing all the notifications I'm trying to ignore
