Help (LG Stylo 5) Help with something unique

So my phone is busted, the screen is completely screwed up and there's nothing I can do except get a new phone when my finances allow. However, there's an issue. My phone has to stay on so I get notifications when people text me, so I don't leave them hanging for 30 minutes. The issue here is my alarm. It goes off every 5 minutes and I cannot find a way to disable it. It's been doing this for an hour and a half now and shows no signs of stopping. I can't turn the phone off (holding the power button doesn't seem to work) and I don't know if there's a way to disable the alarm while not a pixel on my phone functions as normal and the touchscreen doesn't work either. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Bluetooth earphones connect but won't play audio

I recently got the T01 Truly Wireless Earbuds, and they were working fine with my Galaxy J3 until a day ago. They connect just fine to the phone, but will not play audio. It will basically be mute, even if I have the volume all the way up. I've tested the earphones with other devices and they work, so I know it's an issue with the phone. I've paired and unpaired, restarted my phone, and reset network settings, but nothing solves my issue. If the issue requires me to factory reset, I'll just suck it up and get a new phone, but I want to see if I can solve this issue before it comes to that. I have sought out general advice for Bluetooth and Samsung/Android but I've had no luck. Any advice?

Help Phone needed - not tablet

Hi.
Where do i go, if my wife need a replacement for an rather old LG G2 mini.
My requirements are quite simple really...
NOT bigger - preferably smaller - than the G2 mini (129 x 66 x 10 mm) - I know that narrows it down to about 0....
Why is it not possible to get a reasonably sized android phone anymore?
The g2 mini has actually been a great device... She even think it is to big....
Is it really nessesary to go Apple? I don't wan't that!

And is it possible to run some kind of game on such a phone, the child wanted to play Granny :)

Strange Internet Delay

Moto7+, Android 10.
When I say delay, I don't mean slow Internet. I have a 50mbs fiber connection, and speed test shows that's what I'm getting. The problem is that in certain apps, when I initiate an action that requires Internet access, there is a very long (up to about a minute) delay before the transfer starts. Once it starts, no problem.
My wife's phone (Nexus 5, Android 6) has none of these problems, nor does my chromebook or Windows laptop using the same network.
I have seen this problem in Play Store, Kindle app, Google Contacts app, and probably some others. Most Internet apps work just fine.
After trying many things, I thought wiping the system cache might be the answer. I've done this before with other phones, but, to my surprise, after I get to Recovery Mode, that option is not there!
So I went for a factory reset, not loading the backup, but starting from scratch. I still have the problem.
Any wisdom out there?

Cannot install APK on Xperia XA2

Hello,

I cannot simply install the apk of my Android app on Sony Xperia XA2.

I gave permission for unkown apk sources
I disabled AVG Protection (who knows)
I gave "install" permission to Chrome also
I tried with: 1. Astro File Manager, 2. Chrome 3. "APK Installer" from apk.cafe
In all cases I can press "install" button wih result message "App not installed".

Why ???

Backround: I have created a small Android app. In debug mode (debug build) it deploy and runs fine on my Sony Xperia by using Android Studio + ADB. Now I created a release build (with own certificate made by Android Studio's menu) to see how it runs. But I cannot install it :(

Any hints are welcome. Crazy to spend hours on a 2 min action...

ps: I logged my efforts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Try this new APK on Som's phone:
- delete the debug version (to make sure that I see the release version)
- keep phone in "debug" mode
- copy the APK into "internal..." / "Download"
- install from the APK:
- Astro File Manager : can find apk
- Open with : "Package installer" selected
- starting isnstall says: "app not installed"
WHY ????
- "Apps & Notification" / AVG Protection / "Advanced" / "Install unknown apps" : "Allowed"
- starting isnstall says: "app not installed"
Still !! Why ???
- this has not helped:

- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...-apk-files-t2271081/post41222140#post41222140
: some apps block app install from unknown sources, so:
- Disabled "AVG Proection" + retried: still "App not installed"
WHY ???
- I could also try to install by Chrome, but I could not get a good URL...(file:///...)
file:///storage/ >> ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
- "Unrestricted data" given to ASTRO : still "App not installed"
- Could this help?: https://apk-installer1.apk.cafe/sony/xperia-xa2
- I installed this "APK Installer", asked it to install Colormix : same failure: "App not installed"

Help My phone may stop working in 2021

Hello,

I have a LG L90 D415 that I bought back in 2014 and is working perfectly. I was using it with the last official update sent by the manufacturer (Andorid 5.1.1 Lollipop), but one single APP stop working and when I check for that APP, for it to work I needed to have Android 6 Marshmallow. Problem was that the manufacturer stop supporting the unit and they decided not to provide any other update beyond 5.1.1. Luckily I found that there was version 7 Nougat for my unit as an AOSP with Linange OS. Me, being an ignorant of android configuration, had a hard time installing it but finally was able to make it work. If not for that APP that stop working I would never change the OS but at the end I was happy, it was like having a new phone. I was able to install the APP and make it work. Then few days ago I read this article:

Devices may stop working next year: Here's why

The article is talking about devices that won't be able to work due to outdated security certificates. Specifically about andorid devices using Android version 7 Nougat (the one that I recently install on the phone), the article says:

The most vulnerable devices

Helme said users of Windows computers won't need to worry, as Microsoft has built in constant updating of certificates. Web browsers on most platforms get certificate updates regularly. And because iPhones get system updates so frequently, "I wouldn't be too concerned about this problem if I was an iOS user (I am)."

"But it looks like Android users might have some concerns in the not too distant future," Helme added.

That's because as of April 2020, nearly 40% of all Android devices visible to Google were using now-unsupported Android versions such as Nougat or earlier. (These statistics don't include Amazon Fire tablets, Xiaomi Mi phones or other devices that run non-Google versions of Android.) Many of those older devices may soon lose the ability to connect to most app servers and websites.

Since I have an old unit it seems that there is no interest from the LinageOS people to build at least version 8 of Android for the LG L90. So I need to ask, What are my options? Is there a way to find updated security certificates?

Please advise.

Acer A3-A40 Optimising ?

Recently on startup this tablet has started saying "Optimising app 1 of 1" which takes ages to clear.
I found out all the app install dates using "App Detective".
I have uninstalled in sequence the last 12 apps installed during 2020 and 2019 but nothing has changed.
Is there a way to find out which app is causing this so I can uninstall it ?
Many thanks for any advice.
