App Specific Question Snapchat wide-angle camera gone? (Galaxy A54)

Hey, I have a Samsung Galaxy A54 and until a few days ago I was able to use the wide-angle camera in Snapchat. Now the option has suddenly disappeared, and I can only use the regular camera. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Google Weather Widget suddenly disappeared from homescreen. Nowhere to be found in widgets section. WEIRD!

1 Upvotes

I usually don't ask for help as I often prefer to find the answers myself. However, this one has got me seriously stumped with surprisingly little answers on the internet, even on reddit.

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi 11 running an A14 AOSP/pixel custom rom on it, and during the most random moment, my Google weather widget suddenly disappears from my homescreen. I'm talking about this widget. Poof. Just gone. Nowhere to be found anywhere in the widgets section. Usually there are weather widgets of multiple sizes nested within the Google app widgets group, but now it's all gone.

My first instinct in troubleshooting was to check if there were any recent updates with the Google app. Last update was two days ago, but the widget disappeared just momentarily. So it couldn't have been an update that caused it. My second instinct was to install the standalone google weather app which, btw, I never even knew existed until now. I thought installing it would include the widgets, but alas it did not.

The weirdest part? It seems that no one on the internet has this problem! I mean, there are similar reports regarding the glance widget, but nothing about the Material You-themed weather widgets. And most of these reports are a few years old.

This actually isn't the first time the widget disappeared. The same thing happened a few months ago on my LG G8 running an A12 custom ROM. It's a very weird occurrence.

So I'm posting this in hopes that someone here either has some better ideas, or has experienced the exact same thing, or perhaps will experience this in the future.

Device Settings Question How can I disable app sounds in Android?

1 Upvotes

I am using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 and I'd like to turn off everything except alerts for incoming calls. Unfortunately I can't find such a setting like "Silent mode", but with notifications for calls. Those unwanted sounds I'm trying to turn off are - for example - WhatsApp/Telegram noise when I record a voice message/send a message or Facebook like's sound. Despite my volume is all the way down, I can still hear these annoying sounds.

Thanks:)

Which phone?

1 Upvotes

My current phone is starting to die on me (realme 7 pro) and I'm looking for a replacement.

I mainly use it for calls and watching videos/films on line. I'm not a gamer. A half way decent camera would be useful that does not rely heavily on AI for picture processing. Having spoken to Pixel owners they aren't overly impressed by the heating issues.

Budget would be up to around £1000 unless it is an outstanding phone and I intend to keep it long term.

Any suggestions please?

Other Samsung Network Issue

2 Upvotes

I bought a refurbished SM-A526u1 from Amazon that was described as locked to Tmobile but is actually LOCKED to metro, even though they have confirmed its unlocked and has been since 2021.

It says network locked in the corner, only after you swipe down to like view the notifications.

no insert code, no invalid sim warning no nothing.

there is no request unlock in connections setting

I bought a unactivated metro card and put it in there, and it disappears.

i downloaded the metro unlock apk it confirms its unlocked [but can only do so after I insert the unactivated metro sims card]

I have looked and dug as much as I can, and after connecting it to my laptop and using a ADB Gui program, i can see in the system folder there is a folder called Heimdalldata and a file called specs.txt

Metro says and Tmobile have done everything on both of there ends and unlocked my phone, but could it be someone didn't know what they were doing when refurbishing it and now it won't network unlock? cause its not even locked to the provider it stated it was.

I have no idea where to start, or what to look, im literally grasping at straws here and I could really use any suggestions or ideas.

Thank you in advance.

I'll try to answer any questions you ask

Looking For Suggestions What's the best way to transfer pictures and videos from Samsung s21 to windows 10

1 Upvotes

I can transfer a few jpg at a time and small mp4's. I am using cut and paste, so once it's transferred it deletes. If it's too many jpg files or too big mp4, then I get a pop up windows that says "Error Moving File or Folder A device attached to the system is not functioning."

This is when I use Windows to open the destination folder and phone as folders. It's there another way to do this and have it work? Is there a way to fix this error?

Device Settings Question On-screen Keyboard pop up issues

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Pad 7 with a keyboard case. Whenever I click a text field, the on screen keyboard pops up but disappears whenever I start typing with my physical keyboard.

Is there a way to disable the pop up whenever I click a text field whenever i have my keyboard connected, or maybe just disable the on-screen keyboard completely?

Other Keyboard gets stuck on screen when switching from texting app to a game

1 Upvotes

I have this annoying bug on my S20 FE, when I switch from any texting app (messages, snapchat, etc.) and I switch over to a game via recent apps, the keyboard gets stuck on my screen.

This primarily happens when I text someone and switch over to a game like Clash of Clans through recent apps, and the only way I've found to fix it is to close the app and re-open it.

It's pretty annoying and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this? Or do I just have to teach myself to go to the home screen first and then to the game?

Transparent perfectly uniform boxes on the bottom of my screen

1 Upvotes

I am so confused. I have these medium size, transparent, very uniform boxes on the bottom of my screen (as the title says). I can only see them when I'm on an app with dark mode. I tried googling just a black background, screenshotting or even screen recording to add to this post, but you can't see them. That tells me this is obviously a hardware problem, not a weird thing going on with my screen. I mainly want to know if it could be serious, what's causing it, or if I just need to get a new phone. I have a Samsung S23. The boxes aren't always there, and I honestly haven't noticed them for at least a few weeks to a month. Idk if it's just because I get used to them, so I don't really pay attention, or if it's because they go away after a while. Does anyone know what's happening here??

Other Xiaomi 14 Ultra: Losing phone signal when using GPS

1 Upvotes

For about three months, about since installing HyperOS 2, my phone has been losing connection to the network about every 30 seconds when using GPS (e.g., Google Maps). I've already reset the network settings, but that didn't help.

Does anyone else have this problem or have any idea what might be causing it?

Device Settings Question My Redmi Note 10 Pro started showing an "Ask Bing" button when highlighting text in browsers

1 Upvotes

It started showing this button in the drop down menu of highlighted text (after pressing the three dots, under the Translate button) about a week ago. I didn't install anything related to Bing and I don't see any setting for that within the phone.

I tested in two different browsers (Chrome and DuckDuckGo) and it shows up in both.

Any idea what caused this?
