Help Playback isn't starting when connecting bluetooth device

Hi,

when i connect my OnePlus3 (LineageOS 16 with root) to any bluetooth device i start some apps in background using tasker. This works without problems, the only problem is the audio player. It should start playing after bluetooth is connected or the player should be able to player when i press the play button on the bluetooth device. But this doesn't work every time - sometimes playback starts, sometimes i can start playback manually by pressing teh play button and something nothing occurs. then i have to unlock the phone and start playback directly in the player ui. after that i can controll the player with the bluetooth buttons. I have this problem with all my smartphone (oneplus3, xperia z2 + z3), with all my bluetooth devices (2 head phones and the bluetooth in my car hifi system) and with all android versions (stock rom 6, lineageos 14, 15 and 16).

also the player is not the problem. It occurs with the normal audio player also with podcatcher (antennapod and podcast addict).

Is this a know problem? is there anything i can do?

Sd card greyed out

Personal data, like photos, videos, music and files, can (and IMO should) be stored on the microSD card. I have little faith in storing my critical data in internal storage, because one really nasty drop may render the phone inoperable... and all that internal storage would be inaccessible, rendering my data gone. But apps and app data? Those are really tied closely to the operating system, and should be left on the phone. With the RAM the Note 10 and Note 10+ have, there should be no reason for trying to keep apps on the card. Use the Google and Samsung Cloud backup options regularly - like weekly - and you will be fine.

Help Can't upload new android.

And the instructions for flashing it? That type of thing is also device-specific, but usually involves either using a computer and a program called fastboot (which can work as long as the device's bootloader is intact) or by copying it to the top of the SD card and rebooting. And as that device has a removable card you can use a computer and a card reader to do that, no need to adb sideload.

Missing total battery usage hours.

Hi,

New to the forum. I had a recent android 10 update to a Samsung s10plus. I enjoyed checking how long my battery would last. Sometimes total usage was 20 to 30 hours on a single charge, depending on usage. With the update the UI changed and I see an estimate of how much remaining time the battery has but no total usage. I can drill down to the battery usage history but every item is separate and no overall total. Was this function removed on purpose or is there a setting to bring it back?

Thanks,

Paul

Playing a game during update?

Thing with Android updates, they're usually flashed via the device's Recovery firmware and NOT the actual running OS itself, unlike desktop computer OSs. So any games would need to be baked into the Recovery. And the Recovery usually only takes a few minutes to complete before the device reboots back into the updated Android OS. Maybe a quick game of Minesweeper or Tetris?

Help Group Messages Won't Send....

Got a Pixel 3a a couple weeks ago.

Everything seemed to be working fine but I realized today that people aren't receiving my group text (Message+).

I seem to be receiving group text fine, but people aren't receiving my messages when I send group (Group MMS) texts.

I compared the settings on my new phone to those on my old phone and they seem to be the same.

Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have a solution or some settings I should check?

Thanks for any and all help!

Moving Apps from internal to external storage

But relative to what? The apps themselves are installed in /data/app, and keep their internal data in /data/data, neither of which you can access without root. For moving the app to work it would either require the appropriate parts of the app to be moved to the appropriate place in the SD card where the OS will look (which will only work if the phone software supports moving apps in the first place, in which case no need to risk doing it manually) or else placing links from the expected location to the new one (so the OS knows where to find things). I've been using *nix systems since 1989 and spent the early part of this decade hacking my phones, and relative paths by themselves won't solve the problems that manually moving files or folders would produce.

I have to agree, just like to add the obb files to the list.

How do I search for photographs that I have not tagged?

How do I search for photographs I have NOT tagged?
Can you give us some examples of what you'd be trying to find?
Or should I just download everything to my computer
So you know how to do that.
and is there a Windows program that will accomplish this for me?
You mean the searching issue, correct?

On Linux, which I use, there are a million and one ways to do this. Windows? I don't know. If you give us an idea of what you'd be trying to find, it may help with ideas for solutions.

Pain no paper icon

It sounds like the Samsung Notes app pinning to your AOD. But I cannot be sure! Try the following:
  • Go into your phones settings,
  • Hit the search button and look for Always on Display,
  • Go in there and select Always on Display again,
  • At the bottom of the page you will see Always on Display Alerts - go in there and look for apps that are allowed to pin to the display. Switch any off you don't want.
Hope this helps.

Thanks that actually worked, I forget that I had that app lol

s6 to s10 should my Mom upgrade ?

...could take future dunkings with no issues
future dunkings.....LOL

depends on if you want to save money or not. you might want to investigate and see if they offer a special deal for upgrading.....most likely not. but when the s11 comes out, i bet they will have a special deal on the s10 so that they can move product for the new version.
