Music all the sudden started playing in background?

I had my phone on my desk and was voice chatting with a friend on an app called discord. All the sudden I heard music in the background, I thought it was my friend that had music on but decided to check for myself anyway. I was shocked to see the music playing in the background from the "play music" app. Did someone hack into my phone? I'm scared now. I downloaded antivirus and ran a full scan, it didn't find anything but I'm still worried. How could it have launched without me touching a thing. By the way it was an mp3 file that was being played. I've never had this happen before. If anyone has some info I'd really appreciated it thank you.

Android user going to use Iphone for first time, what problems will I encounter?

Is that why you're going to iOS? I mean, as opposed to having something against Android? Are you actually switching to Apple, or will you use it and Android both?

Personally, I could not, would not, accept the locked-down, non-customizable, highly-curated world of iOS. Just the thought of having a screen-full of icons--that I didn't put there and don't want--makes my heart start racing, like a panic attack! :eek: I need my desktops clean, not all cluttered up with stuff I can't remove.

I'm interested to know why you're doing this, but as it's none of my business, you're certainly not obligated to explain. :)

I did not buy the iphone, had the chance to use it so I just wanted to try it then decide.

For now I am ok with android. I have nothing against android, been using android my whole life, never had an iphone before. The only good thing i heard about iphone is it can backup everything in the whole phone easily, and it seldom have malware. (from what I read on web and videos) I think android is equal or better . I heard people are too used to apple ecosystem and find it troublesome to get out, maybe using too many apple app or software.

Unlock itself

the app allows you to pay using the device. that is the 'feature' i speak about.

my point still stands--if you want to eliminate the app as a potential issue, you should remove it to test.

Gestures?

It's not a feature the note 8 has built in. Samsung has their own payment app. But mobilepay is an app most people in denmark use, whether its for shopping, getting food, paying online, transfer money to others.
If i remove the app, it means always use card or cold cash. And who even uses cash anymore...
But i'll try to force app to close after every use and see if it still does it, or if it open other apps instead

Gestures?

Help Apps freeze when playing videos, reboot helps temporarily. Logs attached. I'm out of ideas, HELP

Have you installed YT Vanced since reflashing the device? These types of apps can cause havoc when returning to the original app even if you have uninstalled them.
Vanced was installed via a Magisk module. I have since then uninstalled the module and wiped the data of the original YT and updated it through Play Store. Since I was using it through Magisk, the system partition was unmodified. Doing these should be enough, right?

Useful info for SoCal residents

I heard there were fires up your way, Moody... how bad is it?
Where I am, Arcadia, knock on wood, we've been unaffected so far. But the LA region has been hit hard. Just today a fire broke out in Topanga Canyon. Honestly, it just seems like a never-ending chain of fires.

As if the fires weren't bad enough, Trump adds insult to injury by withholding [or threatening to] federal funds to fight them. He's so pathetically misinformed, it's not even funny. He thinks these are 'forest fires,' and has previously declared that if we managed our forests better [by keeping them raked], this wouldn't happen. The truth is, these are wildfires, in urban/suburban areas, nowhere near forests--and, even if they were, the federal government manages 90-something percent of California's forests! So he should look in the mirror to see who's mishandling CA's forests. :rolleyes:

What about you? Are you okay?

How to reset Child Phone

Any ideas how one can wipe the phone and start again?
Sure. First, log out of your child's Google account; there's info here you can read to be sure you're doing it right.

Then log in with your credentials and make sure you've saved anything important before proceeding. Then log out of Google as above, go to System Settings and locate 'Factory reset.' (It's in different places on different devices.)

When you're satisfied that you haven't missed anything important, follow the prompts to reset the phone. This will result in a just-received-from-the-manufacturer device. :)

Virtual keyboard vs mechanical, is it still the way it used to be?

Thank you all, this forum is helpful and people here share decently without abuse.
It's nice, isn't it? Some forums are so...MEAN...they're best left alone!
I am going to attempt my dissertation using the virtual keyboard. I will be happy if anyone confirms they actually have done a real document typing job by virtual keyboard
Well, I certainly haven't and, frankly, I can't imagine doing so. If you're using a tablet, not a phone, that's certainly better, but the keyboard's still going to be small compared to a real keyboard on a computer. (I'm typing this on my big laptop, with its full-sized keyboard w/numeric pad.) For me, typing on virtual keyboards is a slow, error-prone method I use when I don't feel like sitting up at one of my computers. But I'd never even consider doing that for a 'real document' kind of job. That's just me, though! You're sure to get other opinions, so it really boils down to what works for you.
