Android 10. I run Nova Launcher. When I play a video and rotate the screen the screen goes black and locks. I unlock it and it does it again. One time it rebooted. Doesn't matter which app is playing the video.. MX Player Pro, YouTube Vanced, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] rtfelt:
I have been searching everywhere for a fix. I have stopped all battery optimization, rebooted, reinstalled apps and nothing is working. My phone just stopped giving any notifications. One day it was working then the next it was not. At first I thought it was just SMS, but soon realized it was all notifications--calendar, GroupMe, Twitter....not only not getting an audio notification but nothing in the notification bar either. I'm ready to do a factory reset, but I read from another user on another thread, that person did that, and it did not work. I am at a loss as to what is happening. I even updated to Android 10 in hopes that would fix the issue, but it didn't. Anyone know what will work?
[General Questions and Answers] jayesh0099:
Hello All,

Since long time i facing some issue related to Gallery App. Below is the description.

On Memory Card there is path /Memory Card/Xender/images/abc.jpg. In Gallery it's showing correct path, in 'Other' section of Gallery there is folder named 'images' and in that abc.jpg is showing.

I move /Memory Card/Xender/images/abc.jpg to new location /Memory Card/Pictures/My/abc.jpg and deleted the folder /Memory Card/Xender and all it's content.

Now, when i open Gallery in 'Other' section i can still see folder named 'images' (which was in /Xender/ and i have already deleted it) and in that abc.jpg is still showing. However when i check properties/details of abc.jpg in Gallery it shows me correct path which is /Memory Card/Pictures/My/abc.jpg.

Though folder has been deleted and image file has been moved to different location, why Gallery is showing that folder and image in that folder.

To resolve this i have to clear data of Gallery App and due to which all highlights and discover gets deleted. Which is really sad..

Can someone please help me to resolve this issue or provide the workaround without losing any data.

Reboot dosen't help, also tried to clear Cache of Gallery App.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MoHuToP:
Hello there. From the first release day of Pocophone 1, this amazing device is the only one, that suits for my usage and needs.

I have two Poco F1 - both rooted, the first one is mine which runs official los, the second one is my little brother device, who's unfortunately yesterday he dropped on the ground. And here is the case:

The device is Indian version, 6/128 with NVT-ts panel, rooted, with stock miui, pie. After the accident, the phone survive and there is no SINGLE scratch, no screen cracks or similar, but ALL sounds gives error when I try to play them. YouTube starts with its stream buffering, but the video cannot start play, Spotify and SoundCloud gives me unplayable tracks, when dial or receive calls, the phone hangs and I must perform hard reboot to start this procedure again. But ALL games works flawlessly - CoD, PoGo, Wizards Unite etc. Messaging apps like Viber, WApp works too, but cannot perform calls. Proximity sensors works, IR cam works, 10 fingers test on the panel works too, the phone have full network 4g coverage, fast data bandwidth, WiFi works too. Temperatures of the phone is around 25-35 C

I opened the device, check every single cable, reconnect them and this mess is the same.

Additional info: the situation is the same, even with wired/ Bluetooth headphones - no sounds at all and hangs of the calls.

Later today, I'll upload pictures of the opened poco.

I'm open for ideas, how to revive this awesome phone.

Best regards to the coolest community!

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
I would like to get a relatively inexpensive external microphone that will work when recording videos. Can people recommend specific microphones that are known to work with the pixel 3a?

Would an external microphone plug into the headphone jack or the usb C port? Is an adapter required?

I saw something about TRRS and TRS cables and/or adapters but I would like to know what the best options are to use with the pixel 3a.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] en2tri:
All external microphones that are designed for smarphones should work on the Pixel 3a.

Since the Pixel 3a has an audio jack, you can choose between an 3.5mm jack microphone or a USB Type-C microphone. I would say analog (3.5mm jack) microphones will probably be cheaper than USB Type-C ones. However, if you intend to buy a flagship phone in the future, you may lose the 3.5mm jack and will need to buy another mic.

I only have experience with RØDE microphones, so I would recomend this one: https://www.rode.com/microphones/videomicme

It is very compact, since it directly attaches to the phone without any cables. It costs around $50 and also includes the furry windshield (a.k.a. the "dead cat"), which is a must-have for outdoor filming.

EDIT: the Pixel has the audio jack right next to the camera and this microphone may obstruct it! Please check this before buying.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Thank you for the very detailed and helpful answer! I see what you mean about the headphone jack being so close to the camera that a lavalier mic might work better than one without a cord.

A youtuber that I follow got a 3a and found that the external microphone didn't work on it so I want to be able to test mine and verify that it works correctly.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] WezleeCrusher:
I'm on a different phone and different version of android... BUT I found that I had to try different recording apps to get my phone to use a mic as a mic instead of trying to use it as headphones. The one app I found to do it is from the play store, called "Voice Recorder" by "quality apps (recorder, weather, music)". There's a free version with ads and a paid version. There are others with the same name that didn't work for me. Maybe it'll work for you.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] n1kolaa:

I haven't tested any external mics but I do suggest Open Camera for video. Lots of options including bitrate adjustments and you can even save directly to USB storage. I'm pretty sure it has sound source settings as well.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] hazydayzsue:
3a mic - not 3 - Very different beast.

I also have a Pixel 3a. I don't believe the question was answered. A pixel 3a is not a pixel 3a XL.

Different processors etc. I am not a tech person at all but I too need a lavelier for my pixel 3a for videos.

Can a headphone jack be used for a microphone because they are both Audio? Is it the headphone jack that is used or as posted above, possibly the USB - C end of the phone?

I have found the same info as previous poster. "Should work" and Do work are not the same.

According to the research the "should work" options suggested for the lower model 3a phone, options do not work. Any further info available - besides get a new phone? Thanks in advance.

Poco / OnePlus users know wht exactly they r getting. For such phones it is always about develpment support otherwise there would not be any sense making such a phone. SD730g is a gud SOC if they mix it with Samoled+90/120 hz, no/waterdrop notch minus poco F1's screen panel bugs and the strong point of Poco - Pricing. (i dnt think OIS wud make its way)

It would make a pretty compelling case for itself.

Hello Devs am Yashra22 , Oppo A37f user currently I was facing some IMEI and sim not getting detected issues with this device but Its fixed by restoring EFS backup from my friend phone who also have OPPO A37f and then restoring qcn using qfil. I had been excessively flashing/changing custom roms in devices as I was trying to port custom roms. So now am facing a very strange bootloop problem with this device , the problem is that when I flash any MIUI roms in this device it passes the boot logo , shows boot animation for 1 min and then reboot then again passes boot logo and show boot animation... this continues. but if I flash any other rom like Ressurection Remix it boots and works fine. This problem arised now, 1 month back I was able to boot MIUI roms

What I tried but no result - I tried Clean flashing MIUI rom , I tried flashing Stock Firmware with PC, i tried flashing Stock OTA.

[Magisk] aeroxy:
I live in China so in order for me access play store I must use a VPN. Play store however, has disabled me from accessing and downloading updates via VPN.

I can activate (after each time I upgrade the system) play store by not being in China or setting up a VPN on a router and then connect my phone to the router. Either way is a bit annoying.

A third way is to use NAT mode when using VPN apps, but this usually means I have to create my own VPN apps (or modifying a third party VPN app I guess, I don't know how tho). This is the method I am using now. The downside is the VPN will consume more battery.

Then when I need to download updates or a new app, I must first navigate to a specific page, tap update or install, and then switch off the VPN for play store to start downloading and then quickly switch on the VPN before the download fails. This is quite annoying too. Or in my new NAT mode VPN, I need to switch the VPN to NAT mode before going to the play store or youtube.

Is there a way via some root trick that I can just disable play store from knowing I am using a VPN?

I am on Android-10 and play store 18, some older devices don't have this problem, btw.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] twasbrillig12:
Looking for any help or at least clues about what is wrong.

I was on ArrowOS 10, updated OTA to latest build two days ago, all was fine. Tonight it suddenly rebooted and when I unlock it, the desktop says the OS is loading, but it hangs, and then eventually reboots, bootlooping.

I had a working Nandroid backup, so I restored that from TWRP. Still cannot get the OS loaded. Wiped everything, even internal storage, backup still had same issue.

Then I tried reinstalling an older build of the ROM that I knew worked for me and I get stuck on the "Just a sec" after choosing a language. Eventually it reboots and hangs on the "Just a sec" before rebooting again. Wiped everything again and I tried another build of the same ROM, same problem. More wiping, tried Pixel Experience, same problem.

I'm thinking something is corrupted but I don't get any specific error messages so I'm not sure what to do. I repaired the data partition in TWRP, thinking that was the issue, but still cannot get any ROMs to load.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated as the phone is useless in this state. Thank goodness I have all my data backed up, but I really hope the phone is salvageable. Thank you.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] twasbrillig12:
Thank you! That fixed it. Any idea what happened? Could it have been from the OTA update two days prior? I'd like to prevent it from happening again if possible.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
First of all good to hear you've got everything up and working again. Difficult to say what caused the problem, best would be to give these informations to the ROM maintainer/developer because he knows best what is changed in his custom ROM/OTA compared to the original stock firmware.

I would think it has been the OTA update that caused the trouble, OTA's are problematic for manufacturers and even more for custom ROMs with a smaller userbase and less employees.

My advice would be to avoid OTA updates if possible, often it's better to (dirty) flash the whole ROM by hand if available.

But the exact reason is not easy to find out, as said check the ROMs thread or PM the maintainer.

If you're in a situation like you've been it's always a good idea to flash original stock firmware, it brings the device to the most stable and recommended state.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] twasbrillig12:
Okay, I was planning on dirty flashing the next update anyway. I usually do since OTA's often don't work for me, but this last one seemed like it was. I'm definitely notifying the developer. Thanks again!

however, just like other community members,i too feel that a better development progress can happen we contribute through the patreon link he has shared. even a little donation counts for a giant uptaking. so lets join our contributions together once again to make this magic happen.

Ok just got one of these devices and I reading that if you unlock the bootloader the finger print reader doesn't work anymore so knowing that is there anything that can be flashed or should I just move on to a different device thanks for any information.......
[Realme 5 Questions & Answers] :
Once you unlock the boot loader the fingerprint won't work or any type of lock screen for that matter. Once you press the power button the lock screen will be a swipe lock screen unprotected by any password, pin etc. So anyone can open your phone.

As there is no solution right now for any of this, I recommend you to move to a different device or you can flash a GSI if you are fine with the above statement. Tested GSIs are available in the development section and I recommend you to join the Telegram group in order to find more.

spl1.2. My idea of the best ROM is one which does not even need all the momory already available in spl1.2. Don't want any bloatware in there. Just want it fast and lean, and bug free. I got the impression that it takes more skills to take things out of the stock ROM than to put more in more software, as removing the wrong thing would cause something to stop working.

I like to decide for myself which third party freeware to use. So, will not upgrade to spl3.5 in the future.
