Horrible performance on Android Auto

I just sold all of my Apple products and got android/windows. I got a Galaxy s10+ and absolutely adore it.

But I have encountered a problem that is about to cause me to sell this phone. Android Auto preforms horribly. It crashes every few minutes, Literally it will NOT function properly without crashing. Today I was having to use my GPS a lot to drive around some friends and I finally just had to unhook the dang phone and use the GPS from the screen which was very difficult.

I have a hard time believing that android auto really performs this horribly. I feel like it is either something wrong with my settings or something physically wrong with the phone. I noticed that sometimes the gps is a little bit off and points in the wrong directions but it quickly corrects itself. I have had other phones including iPhone do that same thing.

What is going on with this? Is this common? And if so, can you all please help me diagnose and treat this before I end up selling this phone?

Thanks, and yes I joined the forum just for this question. That is how frustrating it has become.

Sim2 has better reception quality than Sim1 slot

So I had my Vivo phone for a couple of months now, originally I installed the 4G card in the Slot 1, reception quality is good outside but in the underground parking it's almost impossible to capture 4G signal, most of the time the network symbol is switched to H+.

Last month I spent 2 weeks abroad for a family visit. While staying there I bought a temporary local 4G Sim and put it in the Slot 1, moving the main Sim to the Slot 2. When I came back from vacation, I didn't remove the junk 4G card but I disabled it from the Settings page. I noticed that the reception quality is suddenly improved, I even can use 4G connection in places where it's impossible to use before.

I did a test by placing the main Sim card back to the Slot 1, the reception quality is dropped significantly, just like before.

I'm no engineer so this whole experience makes me a bit perplexed. Not sure if it's just my phone or it's common thing on all smartphones.

Root Bootloop after successfull root

Let me just start off-- I havent rooted a phone in manymany years and my skills are pretty much gone.

I don't know why, but shortly after the successfull root, my phone started bugging and glitching. Perhaps because I deleted all the Bixby files with SuperSU(??)

Anyways, I decided to reboot my phone the ordinary way but it got stuck in a bootloop with the SAMSUNG logo, which appears right after the first boot logo with the phone's model etc.

It's rooted with Magisk. I tried to do the rooting over again from TWRP and wiped the phone -- but still the same problem is there. I guess it's the shi**y Bixby files that still are removed.

My best guess is that I need to reinstall the Android OS and start everything from square 1 because, somehow, the Galaxy needs those Bixby files, just because...? Thanks for any help my fellow Androidistas!

@ The risk of seeming like another rookie post again, I am quite inquisitive of Note 10 or Plus owners choice of audio players you choose on the device. This is not a biased question. I myself prefer bassy, and clarity. Of course quality headphones are also a factor. Dolby atmos is tricky, but It amazed myself of the
quality produced on the device. Simply put, What's your chosen player

s5 Battery situation in 2019 (ANKER no longer available!)

So, I am still rocking the s5. Not only that, but everyone in the household is, due to my recommendation, which was/is in turn due to the replaceable battery, good LineageOS support, accessories (OtterBox cases, etc.) available, etc...

So, I went looking for another battery recently, only to discover that the market has changed a lot since the last time I bought an ANKER battery (maybe a year or so ago). So now it seems that my go-to battery the last couple years (ANKER) are no longer available(!).

Factory batteries I don't think have been made for some time. ANKER made pretty good aftermarket ones, but seem to have gotten out of that business (probably because the s5 is no longer a "mainstream" phone?).

So we are back to random lying people on eBay and even Amazon. You cannot even get a legitimate OEM battery on Amazon for Chrissakes, the sellers are just straight up lying and clearly neither Amazon nor eBay give a single good G.D.

So what to do? Just take a flyer on any of the random no-name s5 batteries?

I actually saw an "s5 OEM" battery on AliExpress for $10 and thought I'd give it a try. I mean, it can't be worse that any of the (likely garbage) available on eBay or Amazon, so I might as well save myself some money, amirite?

Help Sharing Photo - Random Contact Suggestions?

Hi there,

I have a Google Pixel 2 XL.

Does anyone else experience this?

When I go to my Photos, select one ore multiple and click "Share", I'm presented with maybe 1-2 contacts that I'm in touch with daily, and then a bunch of random contacts that I don't talk with at all to share my photos with. These randoms come up almost as a "suggestion"/favorites list.

Why do I get suggestions to share photos with contacts that I haven't texted or called for years?

Thanks

"Fast USB Car Charger"

I looked around on on Samsung's web site and didn't even see a car charger USB thing.

Does anyone know if there really is a rating or something for what I should buy? I have one now, and I'm wondering if that one is not as good as maybe a new one would be.

I was going to buy a couple extra cables and was looking at these

They say "fast charging" but it occurred to me if the car charger isn't fast charging, what would be the point in any cable that says it is?

Looking at this charger, it says its a fast charger

What should I know before buying a car charger and more cables?

Any info is appreciated

Email app for off line use

Does anyone know of an email app that can work completely off line when needed, as follows:

(1) when connected to WiFi, the ap automatically downloads ALL emails (including attachments) in all IMAP folders on the server and stores them in my device (compressed to save space);
(2) when no WiFi available, only mobile internet, does the same but limits the size of each email downloaded to a configurable maximum (so always loads text in email, but only downloads attachments and embedded photos up to the maximum specified by myself);
(3) can search through the current folder, or when requested, through all folders, blisteringly fast, as it is searching through the stored emails not searching on the server (searches can be specified as any combination of subject, sender, recipients, body);
(4) Allows deletion of emails (a) server copy only (b) downloaded copy only (c) both, as specified when deleting.

I have tried lots of email apps and even those that say they download copies of emails for off line use don't do (1) to(4). All apps I have tried only download a subset of emails, not back to the beginning of time, and if I go to another folder I have to refresh the download; and all apps I have tried search the server, and this is very slow. [Windows desktop Thunderbird comes close to (1) and (3), searches are lightning fast through 10s of thousands of emails going back many years - but no Android version.]

Thanks for suggestions,
Roger

Lineage OS 15.1 decryption unsuccessful error

Hi, I have a problem where when I flash a new version of LineageOS 15.1, when it's booting up it comes with a message saying 'decryption unsuccessful' even though I put my password in correctly I still have to reset my phone and thus have me to force reset my phone.

I have magisk installed and I think that's the problem but how do I prevent this from happening?

If anyone knows a solution, please let me know as it's driving me crazy.

Unable to sign into SharePoint App on Android Devices (iOS works fine)

We have an on premise SharePoint 2016 environment, users can sign into SharePoint using the App on any iOS device fine and can sign into SharePoint on Android devices when using the browser, however none of our users are able to sign in using the MS SharePoint App on an Android device.

We can download the App, enter the correct URL but when we enter the login credentials get "There's no network connection, Make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi Mobile network and try again"

I have tried 4 different mobile devices with no luck

I have tried Mobile Data, public Wi-FI, Corporate Wi-Fi with no luck

We have tried force stopping the app, clearing the cache, uninstalling, rebooting the device and re-installing the app.

I stress this issue is only affecting Android devices when trying to sign in via the SharePoint App. This is not specific to a single user or device.

Does anyone have a fix for this very frustrating issue?

Thank

Factory reset now problems

I did a factory reset about a month ago due to being hacked or something .
The factory reset got rid of the what I think was the hijacked scenario pop up on my main screen all the time plus other things .
I do still get strange hang up calls from Nigeria .

But now the changes I've noticed and cannot fix in settings .
I now ''have '' to have a locked screen either swipe or pin number and the lock time is short and annoying .
Before I never had to have a locked screen or I had the option , now I don't .
My Gmail app icon wont show new amount of messages on the icon anymore like it used to. Cannot fix that .
Same go's with Samsung mail no email inbox number on the icon anymore .

I reinstalled facebook but lost the main marketplace and I can no longer get it back keeps saying its not available to me .
Ive tried everything in settings inc all the fix it youtube videos they suggest .

Its just not the same phone anymore , still ok but not as good is it because of the software update ?

Any Idea's

Cheers
