Help Significant lag when taking photos on S10+

Hi I just switched to a S10+ from a S8+ and I am noticing significant lag when taking pictures. There's at least a quarter second of delay between pressing the shutter button to the phone actually taking a picture. On my S8+ I could rapid fire photos by rapidly pressing the shutter button, it would take photos with zero delay, but on the S10+ it is so slow I can only take a couple of pictures even though I am pressing the shutter button multiple times. This happens even in broad daylight with good light.

I've tried rebooting, turning every AI and HDR feature, clearing camera cache, and there's absolutely no change. I am on the snapdragon version with the latest Android 10 and One UI 2.1 update.

Has anyone had this issue and managed to solve it?

Notifications

Hi all

I have a Moto G7 and have been experimenting with the notifications. I don't think it's working correctly.

1. Make a noise and pop up.
Makes a sound and pop up banner at top of screen.

2. Make a sound.
No pop up, makes a sound.

3. Show silently.
No pop up, just icon badge.

4. Show silently and minimise.
No pop up, just icon badge.

I presume 3 and 4 should be different, could someone advise what they should do instead?

Remote Delete App \ Non Rooted Backup...

Hey everyone two quick questions, all simple and direct like... First, is there a remote delete app that is reliable, in case your phone ever gets stolen or lost. (Bonus points if it frags the SD card!) And has anything come along that could backup a non rooted Android phone similar to Titanium? (Both system and apps... I've used Helium in the past, by the same dev's I believe, but it doesn't do the system.)

Thanks in advance!

Most AV apps have some sort of option to wipe the phone and snap a selfie and send it to your email after xx number of unsuccessful password tries. Most also have backup options, in addition to manual options to wipe similar to find my phone, hope that's helpful!

Custom ROMs and encryption on the S20 Ultra.

Hello and welcome to Android Forums!
Several questions come to mind when looking for a ROM on any Samsung Galaxy S models:
- Model # (SM-????)
  • Usually only the International versions with Exynos chips have unlocked bootloaders, allowing installation of Custom Recoveries and subsequent ROMs.. No USA versions (that I'm aware of) as of the last 5 or 6 S models, IIRC
- Carrier
  • VZW won't allow it even on devices originally designed and sold for ROM Development.
- ROMs
  • Generally, if it's not posted here anywhere, look in XDA
  • If the device release is extremely new (Within 6mo), the kernel & device trees may not be posted or usable for building yet..

And sorry (not really) for any mental inconvenience this may cause :)

Two game modes are available:
- in the classic mode, discover a new concept on each level!
- in the challenge mode, go as far as possible following more and more complex instructions

* NotNot last version includes a color blind accessibility mode.

Security issue

Are you trying to say that someone interferes with your phone while you are sleeping? Because pattern, PIN, fingerprint, all of those are ways of locking the screen and nothing to do with remote access or malware blocking. So if things happen when using a pattern or PIN but not with fingerprint that implies someone is handling the phone. Have you tried cleaning the screen so that your pattern/PIN isn't visible in the grease?

(But also someone who doesn't know how to force the phone to ask for a password/PIN instead of fingerprint, which is a strange combination of smart and dumb).

Font change

Then you should know that you can still change fonts if you want to give the phone a new look. Several Android OEMs packaged extra fonts with their phones in order to try to differentiate themselves from the crowd. Not all provides this choice, however. The great news is that you can still change fonts even though that's the case with your app.
  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap on Display>Screen zoom and font
  3. Scroll down until your find Font Style
  4. Pick the font you want and then confirm you want to set it as system font.
  5. From there you can tap the “+” Download fonts button. You’ll need to log in with a Samsung account in order to do so.
You can also alter fonts with help of using this converter for fancy font on a phone with other vendors including LG, HTC or OnePlus. If you have a OnePlus smartphone, then you can change the default Roboto to OnePlus Slate to Settings > Display > Font. The font size can also be changed.

Help Not to root new incoming S20 phone

Welcome to Android Foruns @ranjb , nice to have as a new member. V4A and DolbyAtmos on my rooted Samsung. AdAway ad blocker is also a must for me. I myself prefer SuperSu, Xposed Framwork and full r/w system wide access. It hard to give up power of root :)
An S20 on the other had is a powerful chipset and an impressive device. Perhaps if your looking at an upgrade you might want to wait a few more months for the Note 10/Note 20 (2020). At that price rang you could keep your rooted S7 and buy a pretty decent laptop 4k touch 17 inch...... etc. I guess it a matter of what's more important to you.
One thig is it looks Google has tightend down and the developer of Magisk is struggling to keep Magisk hide and pass saftynet pass successful. Google now check for an unlocked bootloader and that the recent update properly uses SafetyNet's key attestation API that remotely verifies a device's security status.
Freaking Google :( If you choose root be willing to give up Google Pay, banking apps, Netflix, pockmon etc. I'd rather watch Netfix on the big screeen tv, use credit cards thhan give up root, but thats just me :)
Good luck..

Broadcast to tv option keeps disappearing on youtube

What you're looking for is the Chromecast option to cast your video to the TV. You need to be connected to the same WiFi network as your Chromecast to make this work. It's possible (and perhaps likely) that the "broadcast to tv" option appearing and disappearing is based on when you are and are not connected to your WiFi network.

Here is a list of things to try:
  • Make sure you are connected to the same WiFi as your Chromecast
  • Clear the cache of your Google Home app
  • Uninstall and Reinstall the Google Home app
If none of these options work can you share with us what type of Smart TV you have or if you're using a physical Chromecast connected via HDMI? If you were able to fix it can you let us know what you did to help others?
