Help How to transfer files from PC to SD card formated as adoptable (internal) storage?

J
smarko1983 said:
It was better solved in earlier versions of Android where we could transer just the app data to SD card, considerably freeing space. Now, we are requiered to transfer the app + data, which causes all kind's of problems.

It's Google's way of punishing us for daring to use LOCAL storage, rather than submitting ourselves to Google's cloud.

Apps set to auto update but not updating.

T
UPDATE: No change in behaviour after turning off battery optimisation for Play Store. I am looking at it now and there are three updates pending.

What we have leaned is that those pending updates will be applied at some point, so Auto-Update is working. It must just have a schedule of re-tries. I always switch phone off at night so that would make sense if an update became available then, but I wonder how often it re-tries to update? Phone has been on for seven hours so far today and they are still showing pending.

Help Wifi “connected” but no apps work

C
I recently migrated from an LG G4 (Android 6) to a Moto G7 Power (android 9) but now same apps don't work any more. I still get the eBay and amazon alarms on my old G4 (connected to same Wi-Fi) but on the G7 I have to switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data. ebay and amazon work on FF for Android on the G7 though. I toggled the background data, excluded them from all safety and VPN, changed the DNS, switched to guest Wi-Fi on same internet connection, rebooted etc. but all has no effect at all.

S10 plus screen protector?

T
The Screen Protector depends from person to person. I don't have a screen protector and my phone does fall some times, but nothing has ever happened to my screen because of the case I use. I usually make sure that the case covers all sides and that the edges of the cover are a little thick and are shock proof. For the S10+ I would recommend the Spigen or the Rigke brands.

SD card question

S8 user said:
Hey guys. I have an SD card that was in my old Blackberry. I want to put in the S8. Is there anything special I need to do in order to get this in...or is it as easy as just put it in. Just wondering if it needs to be formatted or anything. Thanks.

Yes you can put old sdcard in s8 but first you need backed up your old data into windows or mac if you have inserted sdcard in hatdware then you can copy and paste whole of your private data into win or mac then formatted with fat32 then you can inserted your sdcard in s8.

Happy 1st Birthday OnePlus 6T!

rcNed9rm.jpg


BIRTHDAY FUN FACT & QUESTION! :D

Since the Global model of the OnePlus 6T is almost 1 year old, it was launched the 6th November 2018, it has received...

13 Official stock, stable, OxygenOS updates covering Android 9 & 10.

18 Open Beta test firmware updates covering Android 9 & 10.

31 updates in total for the OnePlus 6T in a year.

Question: Can anyone supply any other phone manufacturer's model of phone other than, obviously, the stock Google vanilla, Pixel and Essential phones, to have received as many or more updates than this in a year?

Rules: Just reply to this post with the Manufacturer's name, phone model and a link to the confirmed number of updates. ;)

( Caveat: The above does not include the 10 updates for the T-Mobile (USA) 6T carrier minority variant or the 3 Android Q Developer Previews) :)

Picture-in-picture plz help

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Sean Taylor!

A few things to try: go into System Settings and find YouTube in its list of apps. Check its settings; make sure both 'display over other apps' and 'picture-in-picture' are set to 'yes.' Then 'force stop' on it. Reopen the YouTube app; is it back to normal?

If it's not, go back to it in System Settings; access its storage, then clear its cache and data; the latter will lose all your settings and account info in YouTube. Force stop again, then open YouTube again. Fixed?

Last resort [that I can think of] is to do the above plus uninstall YouTube, then reinstall it. Hopefully, that's not necessary.

Repeated App launch

Have the Aristo 2 phone and have never had interest in enabling it every few minutes.

Enabling...the phone? :thinking:
Want it disabled completely until I choose a time to interact with it.

You want what disabled? The only thing you've referred to is your Aristo 2 phone.

You titled this thread "Repeated App launch." Would you please clarify what you're asking? I'm afraid I'm quite lost! :o

Managing the Home pages

nu2andy
Hi Christopher, My apologies. We have been at cross purposes. The instructions I have detailed correctly ONLY apply to the MIUI System Launcher!!
I tried by installing Nova Launcher from Google Playstore and found that Nova had taken over the Default system operations.
If you go to > Settings > Manage Apps > Tap the 3 dots on upper right > Default Apps > Launcher > you should see a RED square icon with home and System Launcher.
Tap on that to restore the original system launcher and all the instructions I listed will work.
I have changed the Theme on my phone (which also changed the app icons) and yet the Edit Mode is still functional as I detailed.
I can only state that if you change the MIUI launcher to any other launcher, you obviously lose Edit Mode control.

Help Bluetooth kills WIFI? (help)

djembeman said:
Dang! I'm glad I finally found other Droid users who care about this. Apple users have been complaining about this. Tons of hits come up in reference to Apple if your search "Bluetooth slows WiFi." Apparently they had a software fix for their issue, but didn't read more into it.

I had the same problem you describe, but I've been testing it using the Speed Test app. They also have a website SpeedTest.net

1. I connect to WiFi and do a speed test that results in 12 Mbps download.
2. I hit play on my Bluetooth headphones which are accessing music that is saved directly on my SD card and my Speed Test drops to .22 Mbps.
3. I pause my music, do another speed test and it's back up to 12 Mbps.

I can be paired to Bluetooth all I want, but when I have an active stream or link to bluetooth my WiFi dies!!!

Maybe this is why they brought back 5 Ghz freq wireless routers. The N routers run 5 Ghz.

It is because they share the same frequency. Someone on the Apple forum suggested getting closer the wireless router... total BS!!! I think the Droid 2 has an N receiver in it so the problem should be fixed on that phone.
Upload speeds aren't really affected.

Audio text message

Adrenoreceptor
I noticed the audio text message icon a while back . Kind of cool. I dont recall the phone coming with that. May have came with an update.

I noticed while I was away from wifi, the audio text icon disappeared in the conversion I had just used it on. It reappeared, it seems, when I got back to home wifi.

It kind of makes sense a feature would be able to be turned off when away from wifi, but I cant find a setting for the feature that allows me to tell it to always be available and or OK to use data.

Anyone know anything about this feature and its behavior?
