Thank you very much I really appreciate you assistance I believe it has come down to an issue with the phone I may have to send it in for a repair or something because I have literally tried everything mentioned above including the factory reset this is a bummer it's a brand new phone.. factory unlocked and all such a shame

If it worked in safe mode, then it had to work after a factory reset before you added any apps. If it didn't, then your phone is messed up somehow and needs to be replaced. Good luck. If you take it in and they fix it, please let me know what is was. I always like to learn.

Help Instable 3G connection

T
Hi everyone,

I have a problem with the 3G connection on my phone. I don't know if it's a software or an hardware problem.

So, I mainly use my 3G connection with wifi tethering (my laptop is connected to my phone hotspot). Regularly, I lose connection on my laptop. On firefox, the message in the status bar stays on "Looking for www.google.com" or "Connecting to www.google.com", for example. When that happens, the 3G connection on my phone appears to be still active, with the arrows indicating upload and download in the android status bar, but if I try to use the android browser, I have the same problem (the website is unreachable). I have to disable the data connection on my phone and then re-enable it so I can use it again.

I have another problem which is not my priority but may be linked to my main problem : sometimes (I don't know what determines that), if my phones battery is not charging, I lose wifi connection to my phone (when it's tethering).

My phone is quite old, but the battery still works fine, and my android is also an old one : 4.0.4. It's not rooted and it's not a custom rom.

If someone has an idea of where the problem could come from, It'd be great...

I'm on the nova bandwagon. Been using nova for about 5 yrs and I love it. It's the quickest I've found and the gestures help me keep the minimalistic clean home screen that I personally prefer and I've never had any issues with crashing or having to reload it all the time. Nova just always runs so smooth and quick and I have no intentions of changing any time soon. I pay for the full version which doesn't cost much and worth every cent.

And I currently have moto gen7 power

Help Bluetooth issues, popping and cracking. Is it just me?

K
Fixed It..
Mine was working on most devices but just had trouble with my favorite BT headphones..

Had the same problem on my S9. Turned off Dual Audio and it started to work fine.

Just got my Note 10+ and this didn't work.. Tried all sorts. Removing all devices, rebooting etc. Eventually after removing all devices and then pairing my headphones, I turned ON Dual Audio and they started to work without any distortion or crackling.. Can't be sure what the exact fix is but it's all about the Dual Audio... Think you need to turn bluetooth off, then switch Dual Audio(On or Off, whatever works) and then turn Bluetooth back on, not sure if the removing of all other devices had any effect.

Help update changes buttons to gesture, won't revert!

Hadron
Which update is this? I didn't know that the G6 was on the Android 10 beta programme, so are you talking about Android 9? If so the gesture setting name is a bit obscure, something like "swipe up on home button", which doesn't obviously tell you that this is what changes between the "pill" and the 3-button setup.

Or rather, that's the setting on a Pixel - I don't have a G6 to compare with, so am just hoping that it's the same problem (poor labelling of the function). But if it is not there at all then it's not Google forcing it on you but Motorola (because you can change it on a Pixel, after all).

Android 10 name

Hadron
I'm running 10. Have to admit that as a user it's not so different, though the dark theme (black rather than "meh grey" thankfully) and finer permission control are nice.

The gestures aren't well designed (they slow app switching as well as interfering with side menus), and some crazy idea of integration with their own launcher means that the home gesture doesn't work with anything else. Allegedly this will change some time after the release, but they are definitely not good enough to suffer the Pixel launcher in order to have them. ;)
