Hello all,

have a bit of an issue with a Galaxy A01. when it was new and running android 10, formatted an SD as internal memory, moved pics, music and some apps on it.

Yesterday updated to android 11 and the apps on the SD stopped working.

What can I do to run the apps again?
- reinstalled one, it doesn't work. App still not running.

Would reformatting the SD as internal under android 11 work?
Is there another update to download? Or revert back to android 10 (that's cumbersome and requires flashing right?)

Yes I know about the recommendation not to use an SD as internal memory but will still use it as that makes the phone a lot more workable.

Thank you for any answer in advance.

I'm thinking this may be more of an Android OS issue than a phone-specific issue so I'm posting here hoping for some help.

I just got my son an S21+ and the notification sounds don't work. Ringtones work fine and when I go to the list of ringtones every one previews when I select them, but when I go to the list of notification sounds, I can choose any one on the list and no sound comes out of the phone. I copied a notification sound file over from my Note 10+ and it plays it in an external app, but not when I choose it in the list of notification sounds.

System sounds don't seem to work either. When I unlock the screen or plug in the charge cord, it doesn't make any sound either. The only system sound that seems to work are ringtones, and the phone actually rings when I call it.

Since nothing happens when choosing ANY sounds in the notification sounds list, it seems like some sort of Android issue. I don't see how the hardware could make this happen as it just does what the software tells it to do. It seems like that part of the system is just broken. The phone did update to 13 as soon as I set it up, so I have no idea if it worked before that. I did a factory reset, cleared cache, and ran the repair apps from recovery, and it still doesn't work.

I searched online and checked everything I found, and any obvious setting I could possibly think of. Do Not Disturb is NOT enabled, and all volumes are maxed out. There are no apps muted.

Just wanted to post on here an see if anyone had this issue and if so what else it could possibly be before I send the phone back and get something else. If it's an android 13 issue and a future update will fix it, I don't want to send the phone back if it may just happen to another one. It is also a refurbished phone which I guess could have something wrong with it, but almost every phone I have ever owned was a preowned phone and this is the first I have had an issue with. Any info is appreciated.

How about a monthly Zoom Meet & Greet in the evening? It would be fun.

Hi all. I have an S20, and I can't figure out how to get the Android Auto split screen option. it is not in the developer settings or the normal settings. I tried reinstalling it on my phone and unpairing from my car, but nothing worked. Running Android 12, Android auto 8.5.6. Thanks!

Hi all,

I've just noticed today that my normal app menu button in the bottom middle has changed to the last app I used instead of bringing up the menu on my Pixel 6.

Anyone else noticed this or how I can get it back to normal?

Hello,

I bought new Xperia Z5, but it had bad battery (discharging 10% per hour and the phone shuts off in 22%) , so I sent it to reclamation, but then the battery it was still bad (phone drain 2-3 % battery even if display off and if I watching Youtube, battery draining 5-10% per 10 minutes) .

So, I tried bought bigger battery (3100 mAh) from German company Polar Cell. After battery changed, CPU-Z app still show 2900 mAh and the phone still draining battery (1-2 % per hour) on display off and 4% on watching Youtube per 10 minutes :-/ .

I tried disable battery optimization, but I don't see any change (only the phone charging longer time) . What should I try next? Factory reset or reinstall system via Xperia Companion? Or this issue is in phone itself?

And yes, I have wifi, NFC and GPS off.

I know, that this phone is little bit hot (because Snapdragon 810) , but in idle or browsing the web is OK. But still, the battery draining too fast. I had Xperia Z3 Compact before and I can use this phone almost three days! Z5 barely 8-9 hours.

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys.

Good day to you all.

I badly need your help. Last Sunday evening my phone usually requests password every 72 hours as per android feature so that you will not forget your password.

Now I have been doing this for the past 3 months with the same password but after 10+ attempts my phone is not accepting my correct password. It is locked and unable to access via google find my device.

I did not change my password and even have it written on an online notes platform.

Please help guys, I dont want to format my phone because I have lots of work files stored in it.

Also USB debugging is not activated on my phone. I tried searching online but could not find anything.

Is there a way to retrieve my data or unlock my phone without factory resetting it? Thanks guys and happy holidays.

Hello, I live in England but as an ex-pat I have a bank account in the US. The bank has a policy of verifying users every time they log in, but they ONLY verify by telephone, and only a US number! No email. I've been round and round with their support but they refuse anything else, and I'm effectively locked out until I come up with a solution. So, I'm now looking at ways to get a US number that will forward to my UK phone. So far, it seems that I must buy a US SIM card that I can use here in the UK, or go with a company that forwards calls individually. Does anyone have experience or advice on this?

Thanks.

Hello,

recently I changed Android phone to iPhone but still I want use Gboard app Unfortunately I don't like order how the application on iOS is displaying special characters after long press for example letter "A". On Android when I chose polish as a main language after long press I got "Ą" as first one and that was perfect! On iOS special letters are displayed on second position even if I have installed only polish package in Gboard.

Does anyone have any idea why is like that? Or this is some kind of disadvantage of iOS

I have a bright green icon at the top center of my phone which I understand to mean that something is accessing my microphone or my camera. But, I have no idea how to find out what it is. Tapping on it does nothing, and swiping it down just brings up my usual list of things such as Sound, Airplane mode, Auto Rotate, etc, etc. How do I find what it causing that icon to light up, and to turn it off?

I have an old phone and it say:" Demigod Crash handler: DBI apps watchdog reset!
Board rev.:1.0
Ram dump mode.
Option:SD card ram dump mode.
Push below files to sdcard before test.
Rdcookie.txt, rtcookie.txt."
I really don't know what to do and i can't udertand what he is asking me!

Can someone please tell me what kind of notification icon/symbol this is?
Thank you very much.

Galaxy S22--trying to create new email folder. I am using my ISP email account-in what ai assume is samsung email? Or is that a totally different email system? I go to settings in email, click folder, scroll to hottom,but there is no test email or add folder button like everything I have read says there is? Does anyone know why there isn't a new folder button or how to add one somehow? TIA

i do mechanic / contracting type work and i keep breaking my phones, now i keep it in truck/toolbox but now i keep missing important service calls. is there any type of device i can get to connect to my phone like an old pager that will beep/vibrate and let me know what missed calls i have? i just got an amazfit band, its primary function is fitness monitoring but it does have what i need but it will only vibrate when i get a call, no notifications. i really need something thats primary function is staying on top of missed calls.

Had this problem a while. Smart cast wont work right, skips and freezes, unless I delete phone frome tv and restart tv. I try to reconnect and first try it wont but the second always does, then it runs perfect but if I disconnect and try to reconnect I have to do it all over again. How can I fix it? It's a samsung tv, no internet/ wifi it's all offline. My galaxy s7 and a20 work every time I use them but the s21 won't. The problem started a couple months ago I was streaming a movie and the power went out for a moment then came back on and since then I've had this problem.

So I just upgraded from the Rog phone 3 to the Rog phone 6. And I'm looking for a feature that I love as a power user of android.
Press and hold on the task option like the above link and the app just slides up to allow split screen and you can chose from already open apps or a new app.

This new system of press and hold on the app icon in the open task section is fundamentally the same but much more of a hastle in comparison because

A: you have to open the menu first.
B: you have to hold on a more awkward location and press another button after doing so
C: you can't access new apps or home screen from this split screen

Dose anyone know how to enable this on newer android such as my rog phone 6?

Here is an imgur link with a video of the function if your unfamiliar

Hello, I have big problem with connecting to my VPN server from 50% of Android devices.

Cannot resolve it 2 weeks with network and android developers

VPN server based on IKEv2 with Charon and Strongswan libs, and it works stable with iPhone devices

But on Android devices it fails with error “IKE_SA failed, peer not responding” after 3 retransmits of sending IKE_SA_INIT requests

I tried to gether information what was tested, and some hypotheses we had:

1) Android app used to connect is problematic:

No, it is most popular Strongswan application for VPN connection, that advised by many respective VPN services

2) Network providers is problematic and cut some traffic:

No, because iPhone device can connect to this VPN through standard settings. iPhone was connected to the same Wi-Fi and was in airplane mode for disable cellular network (I doublechecked that cellular network was disabled)

3) Android devices that was on manual tests is problematic:

No, because when I using not Wi-Fi from my home provider, but using wi-fi from my iPhone hotspot the connection is Successful.

Also another GooglePlay IKEv2 free VPNs is failed to connect

So based on this 3 points I have very strange situation.

Screenshots of android logs will be attached at bottom, with error connection(through wifi) and success connection(through iPhone hotspot)

Also screenshot of VPN server error connection log will be attached

I am android developer, and have network developer in my team, so any additional questions please



Dear developers, please give me some advices what I can do to test and understand what problem we have?

Very need it, because based on this VPN serves android free VPN app will be created

How do I get silent WhatsApp notifications on Pixel? I have checked silent notifications, but the only way to stop incoming WhatsApps from pinging is to turn off notifications for the app using settings, notifications, apps from the main menu. I would like to see the notifications on lock screen etc, but not hear them. Do developers deliberately make controlling notification sounds an impossible labyrinth?
