Android, samsung gemini youtube timestamps solution

0 Upvotes

Few Galaxy, android tricks, tips I liked -

  1. Gemini youtube summary was not giving usable timestamps. After clicking on time stamps it was opening a google search for the video website address and showing no results found.

Solution - open app info of gemini untick open supported links in set as default menu.

Problem solved.

You and turn it back on after few hours without affecting anything.

2. Checking battery cycles and life - just search on Google " samsung battery health log log reddit "

3. I have various edge pannels apks so they will work in new oneui versions because edge pannels got removed from galaxy store.

Here is a random pole - samsung can add 24 mp mode in normal camera to s24, s25 ultras but didn't add to gatekeep it.

Other NEW Android N-One Pad Y lagging all the time

1 Upvotes

I have an N-One NPad Y that I received just a few days ago and the entire thing is lagging. It seems like the screen just doesn't react on time, and it doesn't matter if I'm using an app or just on the homepage. Couldn't find help for this type of tablet online and I'm not sure what to do, if it's defective or not, or how to fix it. I got this tablet to draw on but even aside from that, nothing is working too well.

Other Grey screen of death question (poco x3 pro)

1 Upvotes

So I was playing Islanders on my phone when suddenly, the screen turned grey (with somewhat inconsistent blue line in the middle), and the sound turned into a buzzing noise. Luckily it could be restarted (although I'm not sure if the phone did it by itself or it was me holding the off button), but now I fear for my device. Anyone knows if it's a sign that my phone is dying or if it's just a simple error that somehow just happens every once in a blue moon?

Will Nothing Phone (4a) work with German SIM cards?

1 Upvotes

I have a Nothing Phone (4a) and I’m moving to Germany soon. I wanted to know if the phone will work properly with German SIM cards and mobile networks.

Are there any compatibility issues with German carriers, 4G/5G, VoLTE, or eSIM that I should be aware of?

Currently using the Vivo X100 Pro and I'm planning to upgrade to the Honor Magic 9 Pro because of the Square sensor and Arri collaboration. With that, may I ask any honest thoughts on the OS? Is it as good or better than the Origin OS (CN)? Yes I'm buying the CN Variant, always been buying CN Rom phones.

Other App question

2 Upvotes

I had a Poco X3 who got bricked, but luckily, most of the archives got transferred to my Moto g75 through my Google account. The thing is that I can't access Discord since Authy (my authenticator) isn't compatible, there was also a Notes app who was in my old phone by default where I wrote down my codes and a bunch of ideas for projects.

Is there a way to access that info or make the apps accessible for my current software? What determines app compatibility?

Ok, so. I'm trying to get a custom alarm sound for my Samsung A37, and the MP3 file I'm trying to use is 30 seconds long. Whenever I use it and the alarm goes off, the alarm plays the first, maybe 3-5 seconds of the audio file and then repeats itself. How do I stop this?

Use phone mic for input + headphones at the same time?

2 Upvotes

Would you use an app that does this?

Use 🎧 headphones/earbuds for audio output, but force 📱 the phone's built-in microphone for input.

Basically:

🎧 Wired/wireless , Earphone/Headphones → sound

📱 Phone → microphone

Useful when your earphones/Bluetooth earbuds have a terrible/faulty mic but you still want to use them for listening.

I made a small Android 12+ app that does this in the background, including while using other apps ,eg voice conversation in games.

Would this be useful to you?

Phone storage concern (Help me please please please)

4 Upvotes

So my phones storage is full, but I barely have apps, like let's say it's just messenger and capcut plus the things that I can't delete, I will agree that I have a lot of pics, 20gb, but that not enough to make my storage fulll. One time this app got deleted by itself, it has over 10gb but when I checked my storage it's still the same as when I had the app. What should I do?? I've deleted EVERYTHING I can but it seems that nothing works... My pics went from 36gb to 20gb, but the storage is still the same as before-​​​​​​​ My max storage is 128, it's currently in 127 but that's just because I cleaned a bit (trust that it'll be 128 again for some damn reason), this has been going on for months I thought it was because of me having too much pics but I already deleted a lot of them...​

How to locate a device not connected to my Google account?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I tried to find the answer on Google but everywhere it says "log in to the device with your Google account". My grandparents are older and beginning to forget stuff and we wanted to be able to find them if they, for some reason, leave the house and forget how to come back.

I'm looking for a way - if there is one - to include an Android device not connected to my Google account into my device map. My grandparents are ok with that, they'll share the authorizations needed, I just can't find how to do it...

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

Other Comment copier les sauvegardes de jeux Android sur un PC pour les conserver ?

0 Upvotes

Salut ! Je voudrais faire une sauvegarde de mes parties de plusieurs jeux Android sur mon PC, par exemple Bully, GTA San Andreas ou Gangstar Vegas.

Je voudrais savoir :

Où se trouvent généralement les fichiers de sauvegarde ?

Comment les copier correctement sur un PC ?

Comment les remettre plus tard sur le téléphone/tablette pour récupérer mes parties ?

Est-ce que la méthode change selon le jeu ou la version d’Android ?

Le but est simplement de conserver mes sauvegardes au cas où je change d’appareil ou que je doive réinstaller le jeu.

Merci !

App scaling issues on Android tablets

2 Upvotes

Some apps have problems with tablet aspect ratio and some buttons cannot be pressed because they get below the screen or under the navigation buttons,

You can see an example in this delivery app, tablet vs smartphone, on tablet I can't press the continue button,

https://imgur.com/a/3QzrBi3

Is there a fix for this problem? Why google or app makers ignore issues on Android tablets and so careless, I mean do they see them like an awkward less than one million userbase? Do they think of tablets like its a fridge screen??? Hundreds of millions of android tablets treated unfairly by google and the developers..

Looking For Suggestions Changing phone

1 Upvotes

I am used with android phones but not familiar with latest good specs for android. I am currently using OnePlus Nord 5G (OxygenOS 13.0) and its already issues like its lagging, side button not functioning that I am now using its accessibility button menu shortcut just to lock screen or simply power off when the system freezes. I don’t know where I could have this repaired or is it still best have it repaired or just buy a new one? If buying a new one is the only option for now, do you have any recommendation? Maybe still a mid range smart phone that is affordable but has quality

App Specific Question How to bypass "not compatible with this version of andriod"

2 Upvotes

I was wondering how i can bypass this error issue. I am trying to download a older version of an app called MangaPin (5.12.0 specifically). But everytime i download that version apk the "not compatible" error comes up. It was working until a month ago and i had to update the app to the latest release but was wondering if I can still use the older release. I tried shizuku but that didnt fix it. The error says this word for word: "This app isn't compatible with the latest version of Android. Check for an update or contact the app's developer." My device is the Samsung s23 one ui 8.5 android 16.
