what you have is called adware. it probably came from a recent app that was installed. if you put the phone in safe mode, you can find out if this true or not. safe mode prevents 3rd party apps from running. if the issue goes away, than you know an app is the cause of this.

i would then go over your most recent apps and unistall them the best practice is to first find the app in your app manager. then you will need to wipe cache and data for the app. after the wipe, then you can uninstall the app. sometimes the app will leave the adware in cache and data which sometime will not get erased after uninstalling the app.....so do it first.

Correct, no notification on the phone. I'd have no idea I was receiving a call if I was looking at the phone.

In the Wear app Mute notification on phone is switched off.

You would think someone else would design the rain and winsheild wiper into there app, since HTC is gone.

agree

When did it start? Because incoming call as a little notification when the display is on is exactly what my Galaxy s21 (Android 12) does, so I expect this is standard.

If I look in my phone app's settings I have an option "call display while using apps" (Google might give it a different name - Samsung like to rename things). This controls how incoming calls appear when you are using other apps, and has options "full screen" (what you want), "small pop-up" (default) and "mini pop-up" (even smaller). So have a look and see whether you have similar options.

I've never met the thing about the in-call UI disappearing. Are you sure you aren't touching something that moves you away from it? Though I'd expect the recent apps navigation to get you back to it in that case, so don't really know what this is about.

Hello all,

I have a Redmi note 10 JE phone running Android 12 SKQ1.210821.001

My problem is that the WiFi will turn off automatically but wont turn on automatically. Turn on WIFI automatically is already turned on. Sometimes I forget to turn the WIFI on manually and unintentionally use my mobile internet, which is annoying and could cost me money.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Or is there a way to stop WIFI automatically turning off.

Thank you.

Hahaa! Same here man!!! LOL... I remember that full weekend of talking with a few friends of mine about it lol...... I think my hard drive quit after that, possibly I also got a new one due to Odin lol.

I didn't kill anything with Odin. But within a few weeks of buying the Galaxy S, I did discover the joys of rooting, ClockworkMod, and CyanogenMod.

The Galaxy S4 reminds of a trip I took to Hong Kong in July 2013, where I bought an S4 at the Sincere House Tech Mall in Mong Kok for a friend, because it was the latest thing at the time, and wasn't available in mainland China.

I have been running the phone on Battery Saver for a while and the battery has performed well in that mode. I discovered, though, that this was wrecked my real time Google Maps timeline feature (most of the time, doesn't work at all or is completely inaccurate) and I rely on that for quite a lot of things so I'm switching it off and keeping only Dark Theme, will see how the battery performs with that energy saver only in place.

Are you sure that you can only root Samsung S20 Ultra with computer? Does that only apply to S20 ultra or all android? Im not saying you guys are wrong, Is just that I read so many things online if you google root without computer a milion results and guides come out. Sorry if this is stupid question.

Click to expand...

The problem is that the internet is a great repository of information, but it's also a great repository of out of date information, or plain clickbait, deliberate misinformation or information that the person posting it hasn't checked. But any site that tells you that King Root or Kingo Root will root an s20 Ultra is pushing misinformation. That may just be because to generate clicks they automatically recycle the same stuff they wrote years ago with newer device names, without caring whether it's right or not - I can only speculate as to why they would post such stuff. But those one-click-root apps have not worked for years.

So yes, prior to Android 6 all of this stuff worked. You may find some more recent devices where such exploits still work - Chinese "fake" phones often use old Android versions that have been reprogrammed to pretend to be newer (seriously!), so they would still have the necessary vulnerabilities. But an s20 Ultra? No chance. In fact any even reasonably modern android will need a computer. Even with an older device, if you still hope to be able to use things like banking, payment apps or many media apps, I would avoid a non-computer method: the root methods that are best at hiding root very definitely rely on a computer (indeed if you are thinking of rooting I would first check whether any individual apps that you care about still work after root: don't rely on some statement like "this Magisk module hides root", check whether it allows that specific app to run).

One thing you've not said is what type of s20 Ultra you have? If it's a North American Snapdragon-based model then the question isn't whether a non-computer method can work but whether it can be rooted at all: recent Snapdragon-based Samsungs are very hard indeed to root, in many cases impossible. If it's a Exynos-based model (as sold in much of the world) then you have a better chance, e.g. my s21 has an official bootloader unlock method, which a Snapdragon-based one would not have.

Can you go into Sound and Vibrations and adjust the volume level for notifications?

Click to expand...

Yes, absolutely. But Sleep as Android just automatically maxes out the alarm volume when the alarm goes off, despite whatever phone alarm volume I have it set at. Setting the phone alarm doesn't stay where I set it because the app hijacks it and maxes it out to full volume.

Help please!

Possibly because SMS Backup+ backs up to your GMail account, which you say Google has "killed" (though I'm not sure precisely what you mean by that, or why they did this).

There are other SMS backup apps that create a local backup rather than backing it up to an Google account (e.g. the venerable SMS Backup & Restore). Of course if you are worried that removing the primary account will wipe everything then you should copy a local backup to another device before doing removing it.

I hope I'm not the only one who had struggled for years identifying the Snapchat icon (what's the pacman ghost icon supposed to mean?). I used to see it on ads and billboards and feel like such a moron today. I also didn't know what the 'mickey mouse shorts' icon was supposed to be for a long time as well (the Discord app)

What do you mean by "close it"? And what app are you "navigating to a folder" with? The only launcher dialogue I can think of that opens images is the wallpaper picker, so I'm not quite sure where the launcher comes into this.

It sounds like you are opening the image in one viewer, then leaving and returning to that viewer rather than closing and opening things. But without knowing precisely which apps you are using and the exact sequence of actions (at the level of "which button do you press" rather than what you intend to do) I can't be sure. I've tried doing what you describe with 3 different file browsers and the wallpaper picker in Nova Launcher, but not been able to reproduce what you see, so I think I need more detail to work this out.

I've been using Adguard since forever on all of my devices.
It just works.
I've tried others but I keep coming back to Adguard, period.
Glad to hear about it from you also!

I mean the US was the ones doing the whole 3G shutdown, but there's tons of threads online about the UK still having 2G as well as 3G and no plants to shutter those. But I don't live there and don't plan on visiting so I'm only able to trust what I am reading.

Malware yes, use a healthy cleaner to dispose of it, always use google for backing up contacts

Hello,

We have a driving behavior monitoring app that requires gathering location and sensor data from phone in background when the user is driving a vehicle. We take the requisite permissions from user during onboarding to be able to access Location All the time. We also optimise the data collection to reduce battery consumption. Still, some of our users get a sporadic message generated by Android that our App is draining the battery.

Is there any Android documentation that defines the criteria on when such a notification is shown. If the user ignores the notification, will it still keep coming. Is there anything a developer can do to prevent that notification from popping up.

Thanks

In case anyone is interested; read this

Think that I'll continue to use the Modoohut version. There is only a white theme, in yours that doesn't offer any other.
Perhaps, when you've added some others, I'll try again.

Your device may vary:

Settings
Apps
App info
(find the app you installed)
Storage & cache
Clear data
(navigation bar back, one step)
Uninstall

You may have to add this to the end of the file name

Try .avi or
.mov
.mp4

You can try this.

I have tried different downloads to root and all of them come up with an error. Is there a specific way you would recommend?

Click to expand...

what downloads are we talking about? where did you get these downloads from? do you have a link? like i said the more details you give us the better we can help.

as far as what i recommend? always head on over to xda for all things root related for any device. if a device does not have a specific forum than the device does not have much of a community.

however your device is listed so your tablet does have support.....though most threads were started in 2018 so i', not so sure how up to date things will be.

anyways the above link should work as well as this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-root-guide-for-huawei-mediapad-m5.3786157/

not sure what is the difference in methods as i have not read them.
