Help Disabling volume buttons turning on camera.

Necropost, but this is a top match when searching issue using google, so replying for others who reach this page the same way.

Same issue occurs with my V20. I think it's ridiculous that touching down vol bypasses lock screen to turn on camera and developers gave NO option to change / disable!

Anyway, got google camera and set vol keys to be vol keys. (Side benefit: no rapid fire photos just cuz I touch them when turning phone sideways.)

Then, turned OFF Camera permission for native camera app! So now if I accidentally touch vol down grabbing my phone or taking out of pocket, the f***ing camera CAN'T start! Just get a warning message instead.

mic activation when bluetooth device is connected

that is both a hardware and software issue. you will need an app and a transmitter specifically designed for what you want. you can just want something and make it happen. i do not think that there is anything like that as far as transmitters go.

not sure why you want your voice coming in thru your car's speaker via fm any ways.

Safe folder can't be found - exposed or just damaged and lost?

Hi, I last accessed my encrypted safe folder 4 days ago. Today, it couldn't be found anymore. Some pics and videos in unencrypted folders also cannot be played or shown because the "file format is not supported" (mp4 and jpg). I checked a breaching website - my google data was exposed in a breach in September 2019. Is it possible that the folder and the other data were "stolen"??
Thanks.
is it possible? sure anything is possible. did it actually happen? hard to say. sd cards can easily get corrupted where only certain data on the card can get destroyed.

google data and data on an encrypted card are two different things so i doubt that it was from that.

beats solo2 headset wont pair to my LG G4 flex. Is there a mod to replace the bluetooth driver?

Actually, nevermind. I posted because mine wouldn't pair properly, but it turns out my version of solo2 enters pairing mode by turning on and then holding the play/pause button.
thanx for posting your solution.

i got a beats solo3 for xmas. at first i wasn't going to use it because it said that it was made only for apple products. but i looked on the play store and found the beats app to my surprise. i just love the fact that beats does not include any mention of it being compatible with other devices that is not crapple......well at least i did not pay for it with my hard earned money. i'll use it as it is free, and it is hard to turn down something that was given for free.

Help Android Storage Full - Google photos taking up 7.37GB

the Moto G will still see the SD card as an SD card.
Not quite. Every Android device has an /sdcard mount point (folder) which will look like an SD card location to the system. This doesn't mean there is an SD card. Actually, in any Android phone made in the last 6 years, if it has an SD card slot, it will NEVER mount at /sdcard. The explanation why is tl;dr. ;)

Live message avatar delete

Edit: sorry, miss read your post.

If you allowed the camera app to create the AR Emoji shortcut, open that up and long press on your avatar and select the minus icon to delete it. It will prompt you to delete data for other apps, such as messenger.

If you dont have the shortcut, open up you camera app and find the AR Emoji settings and do the same as above. (I found mine under the More settings in the camera app)

car bluetooth issue.

Ok hopefully I can explain the issue. Currently I have an iphone but its not doing what I want. I have a old car with aux in only, I added a Bluetooth receiver with its own mic but it looks ugly so I added a just a Bluetooth reciever without mic which I can hide completely thinking my phone would act as a mic, but iphones won't do that, so I was wondering if there are any android phones that will use the phone as a mic. I don't really care what OS my phone runs, was thinking about a pixel4 if that will do what I'm hoping for.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Laptop frequently gets disconnected from mobile hotspot.

Is your laptop having the same problem of cutting out online connectivity every few minutes when connecting to different WiFi networks? (i.e. a friend's home, work, etc.) If so, that does indicate a problem with the laptop but if this is happening only with your phone's hotspot WiFi network it might not be an issue with your laptop at all.

Another test would be to try connecting a different laptop or mobile device to this hotspot WiFi network and see if the same problem occurs. That would indicate the problem is more with the hotspot software (either the app itself, or one of app's settings).

Also, if you log into your online Airtel account, is there anything relative to hotspotting in the options menu?

Latest Security Update Failing

Thanks for helping with this problem.

I use the LG Aristo 2 as phone, and I have over 6gb of free space. The error I get now is: “Couldn’t Update” “Verification problem”
There is no version seen, but the update size is 462.7 MB. Not sure what will allow me to detect malicious stuff on my phone, but I sense someone or something really wants access to a password manager on my device. I only use it as a relic just in case I need it at some point.
