Why do they let ads have access to make my phone vibrate?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 09:35 AM PDT

So, sometimes when I am browsing around on more...adult-oriented sites, I am bombarded with skeevy ads (fake virus has been detected, etc) which always make my phone vibrate like crazy.

I am rooted, and run AdAware, MinMinGuard, and UnbelovedHosts, but they obviously don't always work.

Why the hell does Android even allow these scumbags to control my phone's vibe? Makes me a bit leery about whether they can also access other HW without me knowing (camera, etc).

I just switched sides from Apple. What are some must-have apps?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 09:46 AM PDT

I'm new to Android and so far I'm loving it (I got the S7 edge). Do you have any apps that you would consider "must have"?

My PS3 controller connects to my console via Bluetooth. My phone has bluetooth connectivity. Is there any way to use my phone to control netflix on my ps3?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:53 PM PDT

I'm using a PS3 Super Slim and my new ZTE Zmax Pro, in case that information helps.

No go back page option google chrome android.

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:14 PM PDT

Lets say I visit any site and want to go back a page and there is no option.

If I visit reddit on my android then click a post I cannot go back.I have to restart reddit to get back to the main page.I dont even use my phone for browsing because of this.

Perhaps a third party app that can add back one page?

I can tap upper right corner button but there is only forward button.

Can anyone recommend a browser for android that has the ability to go back one page.

Thanks.

My Priv has 3GB of RAM...

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 01:02 PM PDT

How is it with 3GB of RAM I can't multitask between Pokémon Go and Maps or Snapchat reliably? Often one app gets killed when trying to jump between them. Just hard to believe 3GB isn't sufficient for Go and Snapchat. Does this behaviour sound correct?

Can Someone Explain Single-Core & Multi-Core to Me Like I'm Five?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 08:02 AM PDT

I always see these Geekbench scores or something, but have no idea what they mean.

I know higher is better, but what exactly do they measure/mean? Is single core measuring web browsing speed? And multi-core gaming speeds?

As a light user who doesn't game or even stream Netflix on their phone, what should I take away from these tests?

(Inspired by iPhone 7 and Marlin leaked scores)

I opt for a smartphone, and stopped at the Nexus 5x. Is there a smartphone that surpasses it the ratio of price quality?

I've been having a ton of problems trying to sign in to public networks. The authentication page never loads.

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 03:12 AM PDT

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Verizon and I'm running Android 6.0.1. I've tried multiple browsers, but it either: times out or brings up a page that says "x website is not secure" normally it's Google since it's my homepage.

I am able to connect to private networks without a problem, but this becoming an increasingly frustrating problem to have when I visit friend's apartments or want to use the wifi at a hotel/McDonald's/a cafè/etc.

Galaxy S7 Edge - Smart Alert not working?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 04:22 PM PDT

I just recently got an S7 Edge. I have nova launcher installed. Smart Alert isn't working at all for me, although activated. I've tried deactivating it then reactivating without any success.

I am also using Textra, I imagine this is the likely culprit?

Any input would be greatly appreciated because I really like the idea of this feature.

Take care and thank you

Transferring game saves from Samsung S3 to an S5?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 04:03 PM PDT

So, I've shamefully spent a lot of money on some of my games on my S3. Is there a way that I can transfer my save to my S5 when I get it? I really don't want to have wasted that money...

I cannot view my installed apps to update them in the Play store.

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 04:02 PM PDT

Im on mobile so sorry for lack of formatting.

Recently out of no where, my installed apps wont show. I can browse the store like normal, I can view the "All" tab, but I get an indefinite loading sceeen for my installed apps. I've let the device go for about 10 minutes and I get nothing but the loading circle.

Has this happened to anyone else before? I've been on Android for over a year now and this is the first it's happened to me. Im running a rooted Nexus 6, 6.0.1 if that helps. Thank you!

Edit: Also just wanted to add, Ive rebooted my phone several times and it didnt seem to fix anything.

Play Store using GPS like crazy?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:57 AM PDT

Apologies if this is something that had been asked before. A quick reddit search didn't turn up what I was looking for. I have a HTC One M7 running Android 5.0.2. Every morning I find my GPS icon flashing in the top bar and Location shows that Play Store is highest user. Force closing Play Store stops this. But why is it happening in the first place? It knows my location already.

Forums also show that this is happening to other phone models. But no indication as to why.

Add other apps in the 'draw over apps' section

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 09:43 AM PDT

A lot of apps require some permissions to fully work and you can give those in the draw over apps panel, however, quite a few apps are missing, like WhatsApp for example. I don't know what I can do to add it to the panel or give it the permissions... Any clues?

Thanks

Can't do hard reset on Moto G4 after disabling Google App...

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:38 PM PDT

Hi everyone,

Last week I bought a new Motorola Moto G4 (unlocked), to replace my old phone (iPhone). So far my experience has been pretty good, but today I messed things up I'm afraid. I was looking into removing the Google Search Bar from my homescreen and thought I had found the solution in diabling the Google App.

So I did... Homescreen was gone and I tried to reboot the phone, but it got stuck on the 'Moto' screen.

After searching around some more, I managed to get into the Boot Menu and selected the 'Recovery' and later 'Factory Mode', but neither of these options gave me any results. First I would end up with 'no command' and the Android robot lying down and after that it would just try to boot again and get stuck again.

I read that with the No Command screen, you can hold down the Volume Down button for 10 seconds, followed by the Power Button, but this gave no results, I tried it with the Volume Up button and both Volume buttons at the same time as well.

And now I can't even get the 'no command' screen back again.

I'm at a complete loss, I hope you have any suggestions as to what I might try.

It's late at night here (Netherlands), so I'll try to reply early morning again or otherwise after work. Thanks in advance!

Music players with customizable widget other than Poweramp?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 10:34 AM PDT

One of the things I love best about Poweramp is the customizable widget. I usually render it transparent so that the controls float on my wallpaper.

I was wondering if there were any other apps with this kind of ability. I have tried Blackplayer and Phonograph. Neither of them have it.

Is now a good time to buy a Pixel C

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:02 PM PDT

They haven't really dropped in price yet but should I wait for the rumored Oct 4th event on the off chance the new pixel phones push the price down somehow?

Does anyone have any serious buyers remorse?

Podcast Republic: export chapter marks

I know there's a way to export a OPML file which has info about what podcasts you're subscribed to, but I don't think it contains chapter marks.

How to export chapter marks from each episode of a podcast?
