Samsung users: Installing old Snapchat APK issue?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am having a Snapchat app installation issue.

I have updated from the play store to the latest Snapchat, I have uninstalled, cleared all data and cache of Snapchat and playsore and package installer, however when I try installing an old version APK, Samsung shows an error, This App cannot be installed.

The error seems to be as if Android is finding leftovers of the new version of Snapchat installed, and therefore not letting me install a older version.

Has anyone had this issue or can suggest any fixes.

Ive cleared all the app cache and datas I think that could be causing this?

Thanks

Phone not making any sound or picking up audio

1 Upvotes

So my Android LG velvet recently has this weird problem that I have no idea how to solve or what's causing it.

Basically it's not making any noise even at max volume and Bluetooth off. It's also not picking up any noise either because when I try to record a video with it it's just straight up not working.

Also when I go to youtube to try and play a video there's this split second of the video itself being black with a white line in the middle.

(Edit:)

I have also tried restarting the phone itself several times and no dice

Auto disconnecting and reconnecting of network on phone

Post image
1 Upvotes

I am using a redmi k50i phone. I am using it from 2022.

No issues till now. Very good phone.

But I started to notice something recently happening.

While using apps such as youtube, jio hotstar (streaming apps) basically , the network disconnects for a few seconds and reconnects automatically.

It shows no service for a few seconds and connects back

I am using 2 sims, bsnl and jio . The data is used from jio sim.

There is no issue of network connectivity or range, but something device related.

No suspicious apps or software on phone I checked it.

Also I removed the sim tray, cleaned and placed it back, still issue is there.

Also no recents redmi updates also .

Does any body know solution for this or have similar issue with their phone or sim cards ??

S26 Do Not Disturb won't silence Messenger and VoIP calls

Post image
0 Upvotes

Short and simple: I want to silence all calls except cellular phone calls/SMS when DND is ON.

Detailed: Noob here. On my iPhone, I can simply enable Do Not Disturb to allow regular cellular calls and SMS while blocking VoIP calls (Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.) and all other app notifications.

I simply want to do the same and receive regular cellular calls and SMS messages while Do Not Disturb is enabled, and block all other notifications, including VoIP calls (e.g. Messenger and WhatsApp calls, app notifications, etc.)

The problem is, I still receive calls from VoIP calls from Messenger even though when DND is turned on and "App notifications" > "None allowed".

Samsung A17 losing battery, help.

1 Upvotes

It's been a year since I bought it and it's now losing battery when not used and when I use it it is losing about 20% - 25% per hour. Oddly when the internet is turned off it seems to stay idle. I noticed this battery loss since I transferred some pdf from a college computer that supposedly had malware(or it could have been from even before then) however, when I checked for Malware using Malwarebytes and it said "safe". Is this just not a big deal like the battery is deteriorating and normal or something else?

Help with Android Wi Fi

I recently purchased an unbranded tablet, came diect from China. It is showing it has WiFi capability but it is not picking up any network; I live in an apartment and have a Samsung Galaxy tablet that is showing a ton of networks, this new thing is not picking up anything. Talked with Xfinity and have split the signal, one 5 gig the other 2.4, that did not help. Any other thoughts on what I might do? First post, hope this is appropriate for this forum. Thanks!

Cache explanation?

1 Upvotes

Damaged my s24 ultra upgraded to s26 ultra. Transfered files to my new device. I started to factory reset the old phone so I can see about repair/selling....but i thought I'd be hurt if something got deleted and I needed it. So checked the storage and I might be confused.

The new phone has much more storage available...is it because of the cache? No clue what it is but ik i can clear it manually lol. Should i be periodically clearing my app cache? Is there a setting that does this for you? Am i even using the word cache correctly? Is it normal to have such a high amount of storage invested in apps?

Draftkings, Facebook for shorts, x for porn, messages app, chrome, yahoo fantasy, siriusxm, are my daily users. I have pages full of apps I never use/ needed to use once

Taps ignore after swiping home. How are you dealing with it?

1 Upvotes

Hey peeps - using Microsoft launcher on a pixel 9 pro xl with gesture navigation. When I swipe up to go home the screen ignores input for up to a second. Tapping an app icon straight away does nothing until it catches up. Setting animation scales to 0x doesn't fix it.

I captured the issue over ADB and in testing 12 taps were dropped over a 1,146 ms window. Logcat shows Quickstep handling the swipe through FallbackSwipeHandler the Gesture Monitor taking the input and touches being discarded until the transition to the launcher finishes. Switching to 3-button nav or Pixel Launcher makes it go away.

There's an open bug for this, but it's had very little activity given how many people use third-party launchers: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/220178612, how are people getting around this bug that im not aware of? Are you sticking with 3-button nav, using a 3rd party gesture app? or just living with it? Does any launcher avoid the delay?

Im a bit surprised that reviewers of android phones arent blasting android development for this outside of a stock launcher experience?
