I just upgraded my phone, something last done 4+ years ago. Two major issues:

Last time I upgraded, Titanium Backup was very useful. I simply back-upped up some apps (primarily small games) on the old phone, restored them to the new phone, and everything was there including the app’s data. Now, there is no way (that I have found and about which I have asked) to move an app’s data from the old phone to the new. This should be trivial, but it does not seem possible.

On the old phone, I used True Phone as my default dialer and kept an older version of the default dialer on the phone for listening to voicemail and blocking/reporting a number as spam. The old version of the default dialer does not work on the new phone, the new version of the default dialer won’t run unless it is the default dialer, and I have yet to find a voicemail app that supports Google Fi.

If anyone with Google is reading this: You darned well better address these two issues because if more people experience these same issues, they may start leaving Android…

Hello everyone!. I am searching a device that can replace ScreenBeam Mini 2 to project my tablet to projector wirelessly without the need to connect to existing home/office wifi network. What can I buy? Thanks for the suggestion!

I've seen a few different things written that touch on this, but nothing I can find directly answers this question.

Is there a way in Android to see - and change - what app is the current default app for handling a file based on the file's extension? By handling, I'm referring in my case to when I open the file from the My Files interface on a Samsung phone, with Android 10.

There is the Settings -> Apps -> ... -> Default apps thing, but that doesn't seem to give you the option to look based on file extension (e.g. .mp3, or .txt, .abc, or whatever). It just brings up a list of very general app categories (e.g. "browser app" or "phone a''). So - that's no help.

In Settings -> Apps -> <select app>-> Set as default you can see if it's default for some file types, but that has two problems: A) you have to know the default app ahead of time, and B) You can only do "clear defaults" for *all* defaults for that app - you can't specify it on a per-extension basis. So - that's no help.

In the My Files app if you long-click a given file it gives an option "Open With" where you can select what app opens a file - however it doesn't show you what the *default* app is. If there is no default app then it will prompt you to "open always" - this does set the default app for that file type (yay) - however this only works for extensions that don't yet have a default specified. It doesn't work for ones that already have a default, where I want to view and maybe change the default app. So - that's no help.

Any other method that I'm missing, that someone knows about that could be used?

Note: I do *not* want to have to install some new app just for this purpose. I'm hoping that there's a way to do this in Android natively, like there is in pretty much any OS.

Thanks.

I'm using Redmi Note 7. Never had such problem while using my custom ROM. (crDroid 6, Android 10, latest)

I changed my screen resolution to a lower one through this app, used it for a while, restarted and now I see a black screen after startup animation, but system is running, I just can't see or interact anyhow.

I cleared the cashe via Orange Fox Recovery,

I tried to change the resolution back via:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920

Also tried this command to reboot into safe mode:
adb reboot safe-mode

It didn't work as well, so I tried this:
adb shell setprop persist.sys.safemode 1 && adb reboot

I tried to connect to my phone via Mirroid (have been using it for a while), to share it's screen with my PC, didn't help, I saw a black screen.

What should I do?

and if that is possible how and can i change the Operating system so i can get google play store?

Hi! I'm Cooper, first year CS student.

I've always used Android rather than iOS devices and currently have a Samsung phone and tablet. Plus a drawer full of old phones 😆.

Why shouldn't you do that: After charging is complete, disconnect the adapter from both the device and the power outlet. Do not charge the device for more than 12 hours.

Why shouldn't you make a call with the USB cable plugged in?

Hello,

I have Sony Xperia X Compact. This is my first phone with USB C connector. I actually have two cheaper USB C cables, but phone gets hot while charging (on display too) . Battery shows 40-42 °C in CPU-Z and CPU cores are on 43-50 °C . But only when charging with these cables. Could better cable make phone cooler? Charger/s are OK (2,1 A) , I charged older Android phones (Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z5) with them without any issues with phones hot.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there!

Please can someone identify the app from this notification icon?

I have attached an image

Has anyone else noticed that the number of ads in non-paid apps seems to have increased by an order of magnitude??

For me the Play store has become almost useless.

I have a Samsung A8 tablet. My cable box uses Tivo to record shows. Through the Tivo app on my tablet, I can download shows that I've recorded on my Tivo. My question is, can I move those downloaded Tivo recordings from my tablet to another device (external HD, PC, etc) for viewing elsewhere? When I download the Tivo recordings using the app on my tablet, I can't find a copy of them anywhere on my tablet. Does anybody know where those files are stored? Thanks

For a long while I have been using GoldenDict on different devices to utilize ".dz" and ".index" files. Now with the upgrade to Android 13, GoldenDict keeps crashing on my devices. Could you introduce a solution to the crash or an alternative app which opens the forementioned files on Android 13?

HI
I just got a brand new Samsung S20+ yesterday and when I try to switch on WI-FI Calling I cannot even see that feature on the phone.

Have done...
Settings
Connections
...cannot even see WI-FI Calling option....

Also tried...

Green phone icon
three dots setting icon
...cannot even see WI-FI Calling option....

Call my provider and they confirmed that WI-FI Calling is enabled for my account.
They even switched it off then back on....still can't see it.

Any ideas ?
Thanks

Google Pixel 6. The latest Android 13 update . While traveling this past weekend I know it's going down the interstate that my ETA at the bottom of the navigation was either black or white depending on the color mode. I really like the green, Amber, red that it displays when there are traffic issues on the route. But currently my Google maps is not displaying any of that. It's just black or white. I'm using the traffic layer. The speed also stays white, meaning it would turn red if over the speed limit, etc. It stays the same color as well. The navigation and locations are working great. Everything else navigation wise seems pretty spot on. Does anyone know what else I'm missing or overlooking to get those colors back working again? I appreciate any help and feedback. Thank you all.

It's there an app that can identify tunes playing on your phone?
Ok so Android has been able to identify tune for 10 years and give you links to the tune on yt. Shazzam came later doing the same job. Trouble is they can only listen via the mic and can't even identify tunes that are actually playing on your phone. Bizarre .

Hi,

I'm in need for some help. For a while I've been thinking about this game I was playing back in the day (cca. 2013-2014) and it really bothers me that i can't seem to remember its name. All I remember is that its icon was a little soldier with an iron helmet and a spear in his hands, I think. The game consisted of two armies fighting each other and you could upgrade your troops to have better equipment and more soldiers in it. It had some sort of medieval theme.

I have tried to look for it in the older apps in my google play account but I didn't have any luck and Im pretty positive I don't have the account I've used back in the day anymore.

Any kind of help would mean alot to me, thank you!

Today while installing a new head unit - Android 12 - whilst trying to get the CAN bus to work the radio app disappeared. The button is still there on the home screen but nothing happens when pressed.Is there anyway to reinstall the radio?
PS CAN bus is now working.

When I wipe my one plus 9 it comes up with a message saying "your device is enrolled in the android 12 developer preview program" which causes a red tint to appear on the screen with white text displaying various it's of information such as what process is running (e.g: com.android)

The phone also can't get past the copy apps and data screen, it just get stuck in a loop after starting to process! I have tried connecting it to a pc but it doesn't detect the phone and I have factory reset it in every way I can!

Any help on this is greatly appreciated, I think I need to flash wipe it but don't know how to

Something strange happened on my new, rooted Pixel 7 Pro today and I cannot explain the behavior at all. Maybe one of you can.

I have ‘Flip to Shhh’ enabled and I have stay awake disabled. I plugged the phone in and flipped it over before I went to bed last night. This morning, the battery was at 88% (and I have since read a number of posts explaining this and possible ways to address this behavior). However, when I saw this, I assumed the cable had slipped out, so I plugged it in, put it down (face up), and hit the power button to turn off the screen.

Here’s the behavior I don’t understand: About 15 seconds later, the screen turned on! I again hit the power button to turn the screen off and after about 15 seconds it turned on again. This time, I watched it to see if it would turn off after 30 seconds. It didn’t, but after about 15 seconds, there was ‘wave’ that moved across the screen (and this repeated like every 15 seconds).

What the heck is going on?

On my Pixel Pro 7 purchased from Google with Verizon as my service provider. Running Android 13 Build TQ2A.230305.008.C1, I have the Bling app version 6.23.0 Build 27931374. Whenever I attempt to modify a camera's motion settings, I'm getting 'java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an in but was 4294967295 at line 1 column 110 path $.advanced_motion_regions[9].' It doesn't matter which camera I attempt to modify. I've stopped/started the app, uninstall/reinstall the app, rebooted as well as powered off the phone. All to no avail. I've contacted Bling support and they are not able to identify an issue. The issue does NOT occur on an iPhone either.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Is there a fix?

Hello all, I recently got a new phone a BLU B131DL Android 11 and everything was fine until this week, but since I have bad hearing I generally use Speakerphone when I get a call, but it seems to be somehow muting the calls now, which I cannot figure out....
Every time I get a call, I answer it, then turn on Speakerphone, but nobody speaks, I think because they cannot hear me as a result of the Speakerphone muting the call. Is there a setting that I could change to stop this??
Thanks in advance!!

Is this a bug that device says "storage space running out" and stuff like downloads, screenshots, etc don't work, even though there is still 20+ GB free in "internal shared storage" ?
Only the SD card is full and is formatted as internal storage

So how can I use the "internal shared storage" space if there is still 20+ GB free?

Thanks
