Security issue

Hadron
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

Gabriel Luke
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

MrJavi
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

Rob
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?

Galaxy S7 vs A51 - Will a new down-series be improvement over old flagship?

Dropped my S7 and now looking for a new phone. I was considering something from the new S series lineup but the prices are absurd.

If I went from a S7 to A51, how do the specs stack up in real world use? Useability, processing speed, signal strengths etc. Would it be better (technology constantly improving)? Same? Worse? I have looked at side by side specs but I'm no expert at spec comparisons.

I mostly use my phone for calls, text, email, social media, streaming music, and GPS (travel and fitness tracking). I don't game often, I take pictures/videos but it is not of utmost importance to me.

I'm not against other makes, but Samsung phones have been very good to me so I have a little bit of brand loyalty. I'm on Verizon and reasonably happy with my service and would prefer to stay.

TIA!

Suggestion for Enhanced Back Swipe Gesture Function - iOS like?

Hadron
Now that app's description addresses one of Google's failures: making the side swipe only active on part of the edge makes it easier to avoid interference with other UI elements.

But failing to think that through, and failing to provide the ability for users to customise things for themselves (beyond a very limited "sensitivity" setting), is I'm afraid quite characteristically Google.

How to move a downloaded mp3 file within phone

Your homescreen is a virtual location, that you can store app icons, actual files cannot reside there. You can however, add your media player icon to the homescreen, and play from it.

Quoted for truth. In fact android is completely unlike Windows in this respect: there is no Desktop folder you physically put things in, and indeed the desktops are created by an app called a launcher (so if you install more than one launcher each one, when you run it, will produce its own set of desktops with different things on them).

However, if it's a specific music file you wish to play you should be able to put a shortcut to that on your homescreen: using a file manager find the file, long press to select and look for an option to create a shortcut. You can then put the shortcut where you want it. Click on it and it will probably ask which app you want to open it with: choose the app, tell it to always use that, and job done.
