Title.

What the fuck? Why did this happen?

I didn't get a chance to back it up because there was so much of it, but I had planned to do it this week. Now it's all completely gone. I want to punch a hole in my phone.

Why does the Play Store not allow the users to change the language?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 11:46 AM PDT

I tried to change it and came to realize you can't. Then I wondered why Google wouldn't allow that. Anyone got more insight here?

Are there any YouTube replacement apps on the Play Store that allow you to lock your phone, and still listen to music videos?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 02:24 PM PDT

When I had a Windows Phone, I used MetroTube, which was perfect for exactly this, having both a video and pure audio option when playing youtube videos. It's become kind of essential to my commutes, and now that I've recently gotten an Android Phone, I've been unable to find any alternatives so far, and I'm not in a position to get a Red subscription.

Can anyone help?

Note 7 question.

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 09:45 AM PDT

So I got the note 7 on launch day, the screen was incredibly bright which I loved but the past few days on full blast it's not that bright anymore. The only time it's bright is when the enhancer turns on when watching a video. Is there something I did or is it just the phone?

Enable data to turn on temporarily when sending/receiving MMS?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 10:12 AM PDT

I know that Google took away this option after the upgrade to Lollipop, but has anyone found a way around it? Or has there been an app designed to combat it. The Tasker program to enable data during this function does not work. Any tips woule be useful. Thank you.

Moto G4 Battery Question

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 10:49 AM PDT

I recently got a Moto G4 and it came with the 550 mAh charger and that is just slow as balls. During the day when I need a bit more battery faster I use a 1Amp charger and when I have to leave the phone to charge during the night I use the 550 mAh one. The question is..... Will something bad happen to the battery if I keep charging it with switching chargers ?

My phone is almost always connected to my laptop at office, as I am Android developer. I want to ask if its dangerous for my battery of my phone. Its LGV10 with Snapdragon 808

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 12:17 PM PDT

I am Android developer. I write code and test it on my phone. So its always connected to laptop on USB 3.0 port. Although charging from laptop is very slow. Sometimes even when the phone is connected to laptop and its on charge and I am testing some heavy app. Battery level falls instead of increasing. I want to ask if its dangerous for battery life of my phone. PS: English is not my first language.

Is the Sony Xperia X Performance rootable?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 08:28 AM PDT

If I remember correctly, I didn't root my current phone, the Sony Xperia Z3, because I'd lose camera software or something (because some bootloader had to be unlocked or something like that?). Is this the case with the X Performance too? Is it rootable without losing any features etc.?

Edit: After a quick Google, yes, it's bootable. Yay. But my other question remains, do a lose any of Sony's features that make the camera work well etc.?

Should I be worried about LG phones bootlooping?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 03:46 PM PDT

So I plan to get the V20 after returning my Note 7 and people keep telling me I'll have a bootlooping brick in a few months if i do. I remember having the g4 and that never happened to me once. Can't rooting and flashing a ROM fix that? Is the rate of occurrence really that big?

Can someone share with me the apks of these free CM themes?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 07:50 AM PDT

I'm on clean GApps free Android and I'm not aware of another way to download these themes than Google Play. Please download them (even one or few of them will help me) first to your phone from Google Play. Then use an app like AirDroid (open the link and click Apps, super easy) or oandbackup and copy the apks. Put them on some webhosting. Please don't just search for them in the internet, I don't trust pirate sites, they may have viruses. Anyone verifying the apks (or providing his'her copies) would be helpful too. I'll be grateful!

These themes interest me (basically anything AMOLEDish black for CM13 that I couldn't download myself on a friend's phone, those were buggy). From most important to least important:

Manual software update help.

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 03:10 PM PDT

I've been trying to figure out how to update my t mobile htc one m8 to marshmallow because Ive been stuck on Android L forever without realizing it. It will not let me do it straight from the phone because it says there is insufficient space even though I've cleared around 15 GBs of space. I've decided to do it from the computer manually but I'm not sure of the details. Do I have to back up all my data first? Will all my data, apps, info, etc be cleared when I manually update from computer? Thanks.

Need help w/ phone upgrade

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 03:09 PM PDT

Sorry if this is the wrong place to do this, first time on this sub and I wanted "professional" advice. I've had my galaxy s4 for the past 2 years and am looking to upgrade. I wanted an s7, but with the exploding battery situation, should I go for the s6, wait out the s7 fix, or pick a different phone. I'm looking for one that works fast and has a longer battery life, but is easy on the wallet (in the scenario that I can't upgrade/trade-in my s4). Thanks.

Phone power button not working

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 02:31 PM PDT

I can't wake my phone up and I have no idea what else to try. I've called my phone and it gives me the option to accept or decline, but it won't let me get to the unlock screen. I've texted it, and it dings, but the screen doesn't light up. I've also tried emailing myself and facebook message. It also won't light up if I plug it in.

USB Hotspot loading HTTPS Web pages slowly/not completely

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 07:20 AM PDT

So I'm using my phone hotspot to connect to the internet via USB tethering and I'm finding that HTTPS webpages are loading extremely slowly, or not entirely at all. I've searched all over the web for solutions and I cannot find the answer.

Strangely, some do manage to load. For example, youtube seems to load fine despite being a secure website. Twitch loads extremely slowly taking up to 10 minutes, and even not loading completely at all.

I've tried changing the ipv4 to Google DNS servers and I've also tried changing the MTU value.

I've reproduced the problem in Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Make of the phone is Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

If anybody has any idea how I can rectify this it'd be much appreciated, thanks

Best phone under $400?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 09:08 AM PDT

Looking to upgrade and want some opinions on the best value smartphone. What I want out of the phone is a good camera, good battery (no issues lasting the day), and quick performance when it comes to switching/opening apps. I also plan on keeping the phone for ~3 years so I need to to work well for a while. I am primarily looking for what is the best value.

I am currently considering the Honor 5X, Xiaomi Redmi Pro (not yet released in US), ZTE Axon 7 (not yet released in US), Moto G plus, One + 3, or ZTE Axon 7. I'm up for any suggestions though.

Side question, I don't know too much about the Android OS but will 2GB of RAM be enough for the next three years? I feel like I'll need 4GB so currently I'm leaning towards the Moto G plus 4GB RAM 64 GB storage version for $300.

Thanks

Should I use a custom ROM on my Moto G4?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 12:34 PM PDT

Hey all. I am upgrading to android from iOS soon and heard about custom roms. I was an avid jailbreak user, but my phone bit the dust and I could have fixed it if I had file access, which apple locked down. So screw that, I'm going android.

I don't have a lot of money, so I was looking at the Moto G4 (regular, not plus). It seems good for the money, and, well, way better than the 4s I was previously using.

I heard about something called Cyanogenmod, and people seem to love it. But some people say use stock with xposed, based on the phone model. What should I do for my Moto G4? Stock? Stock with xsposed? Cyanogen? Or something else altogether? Thanks in advance?

tl;dr: I'm upgrading my phone and I want to know if I should use a custom ROM for it or not.
