Data Saver

Can someone please explain to me how the Data Saver user interface works? I gather that this function keeps applications from sucking up data over the phone network when it's not necessary.

Do the switches "off" mean that an app will get data via WiFi only? How does this relate to the "Data Saver" on/off switch? Are they (even the ones switched off) only protected from sucking data when Data Saver is on? And if

  • an app's Data switch is off
  • I'm off WiFi and have data turned on
  • Have Data Saver turned on

If I want to use an app that needs data (E-mail, for example) when I'm off WiFi, will I have to find my way back to the switches and turn an app's "Unrestricted Data" switch back on before it will work? Or does opening the app allow it to get data via the phone network?

Help Playlists keep disappearing, Android P, unmount remount?

I've got an Android One phone, Xiao Mi A2 with Android P. My playlists keep disappearing. I'm using JetAudio Plus. I emailed them about the issue and Jet Audio said:

''JetAudio use system’s media library to show the playlist to user and this system media library is managed by system. That means if your playlist gone some reason, applications can not show that to user. In most classes, it because SD card un/re-mount events. So please check why your device un/re-mount your sdcard from time to time.''

My phone does not have an SD card slot. What should I do to permanently fix this problem? Thx,

Is it possible for my internal 64gb memory to get unmounted and remounted without me knowing?

How To Give WPS Office SD Card Access?

I just put wps office on my phone because I need something to write draft emails before sending them and it seems to be the best thing I can find.

But it seems to have a problem using my SD card and my phone has precious little memory of its own.

The phone asks me to give it write access when I try to save to the SD card. I click 'grant' and then it goes to another screen where it says to show and select SD card then tap the select button at the bottom..

but I see no SD cards with select buttons or otherwise.

I googled and found a post about google preventing saving to external SD or something but it apparently related to android 5 or earlier. I have android 7 here it tells me.

How can I fix all this? Or is WPS office problematic and I should be using something else? (that's also free).

Android car radio USB storage default

Hi guys,
I have just bought an android double din head unit for my car, it works really good but I want to plug in a usb stick in the back of it and make it default to store to. Eg I have pandora app on it and want to download any songs I like to the usb stick as the head unit only has 5 gig free and this is the reason I want to use the usb stick to keep build in memory free.
Can i set this to be default ? If so how? Am running Oreo btw.
Cheers guys

Can my samsung s3 GT-S7560M be upgraded from 4.0.4?

I have a samsung s3 and did a factory reset on it. It now has android 4.0.4 on it. Is there any way to update this to anything newer, as the one on it does not work well at all. I tried a program called kies? All it does is show my phone is connected, there is no way to update it with that. I tried through google store, but it seems those are fakes and ad based spam. Just trying to figure out if this can be updated, or is it good for paper weight?

How to acces all files of rooted device, with broken touch from PC

Dear all,
i have a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 Tablet which is rooted, but with a broken touch screen (it looks perfect, but i cant swipe click or select any thing. The device has no password, or swipe code.

If i connect the tablet to a pc, i can access many files on the internal memory as well as those on the sd card. But i think not all. I would like to copy all the files, and apps in the hope i can still recover some of my data and particularly some notes from a note taking app, which i could not find among the files to which i have acces.
1 Is it possible to some how see and access all the files, and apps installed on the tablet?
2 Would it be possible to get some how remote access from a PC to the android, such that i can click around with my mouse in stead of using the broken touch screen?
Any suggestions would be welcome

Stop search results that default to local device features?

I apologize if I'm posting this incorrectly, it's my first time on this forum. I love the stock Google search and it's assistant features and have almost no complaints about it so I don't want to switch my search but I would like to know how I can stop it from defaulting to a function relevant to my local device and its features/options, like when I search for torch, or Torchlight, it just turns on my flashlight instead of bringing up results related to the game or movie or whatever I'm actually looking for....I have had other instances of the same problem but can't think of any off the top of my head. it wouldn't be so bad if the relevant feature was just included in a list of search results but it just performs the action and gives me no results. Always enjoy learning about the inner workings of these things so any insight is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Please help, whatsapp clone issue!

Hi everyone,

I seem to have a difficult situation that I am trying to solve.
It is about a whats app clone.
I have a new phone with a new number and used a whats app clone to get my old whats app on my new phone.
So old whats app was connected via whats web to my new cell.
Now someone else has that number and phone, but I have not thought to disconnect in whats app before I transferred number and phone.
I dont have the app installed anymore on my new phone.
Does this all mean that the old phone is connected to my new phone? Should I be worried about it?
I really hope someone can help me with this.

Help Clock keeps changing on lock

Hello!
I recently aquired a Galaxy J6 and it's clock doesn't work as should be.
When I lock the smartphone, apperently the clock keeps changing, not going the speed it should. It goes slower than it should. Today I woke up with the clock on 8AM, but it was 10AM.

This happens both on manually or automatically.

I didn't root or anything. I bought it and just start to use, after software update.
Does anyone knows why this is happening?
Thank you.

Weird Alarm (on Home screen and Notification)

On my Android 5.1 I have a weird alarm on the Home screen and in the notification area.
I don't know where it comes from and can't get rid of it.
That Alarm is NOT visible in the Date/Time App !!!

Joined are two Pics
Pic1 :
Showing the Alarm (Sun 10:00) and the Icon in the Notification Area
Pic2 : Showing a new alarm I added together with a SECOND Icon in the Notification Area

When the alarm of Pic2 is terminated, I'm back on the Pic1 situation.

I tried already to remove/add the widget and had a look in all sort of Apps.
Can't find a way to get rid of that alarm

Any Ideas where / how I can see where it comes from ? How to remove it ?

Images and Files deleting overnight

Morning

On each of the last 3 days I have woken up to find my phone has deleted all images and files.

If I check Gallery all images and videos have gone, if I go into my files and to the relevant folder they are not there either. This includes all downloaded files.
The only way I appear to still be able to see the images is if it's something been sent via WhatsApp going back into the chat and clicking the image to download it again.

I had not downloaded any new apps prior to this. I've tried device maintenance and running scans with no threats found, I've since downloaded AVG on my phone and also got no threats found.

Any suggestions?

Phone Samsung Galaxy s10+
Software Android 9
Please let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks in advance.
