Here is all we know about “No Service” notification and LTE data connectivity problem on Galaxy S10/S10 Plus at the moment.
I face the “No Service” error every single day and Galaxy S10 won’t detect the network until I manually reboot it. I mean, I can’t neither make a call nor can’t receive a call until I restart it.
It annoys me when the screen suddenly turns off or becomes darker while reading. Therefore, I always increase the screen backlight time (sleep timeout), usually choosing 2 minutes. This timeout is the most comfortable for me, so that the screen does not turn off when it is not awaited.screen timeout
In this step-by step guide I will explain how to change (increase or decrease) the sleep timeout of the screen on Huawei P30, Mate or any other modern Huawei phone that runs Android 9 Pie with EMUI 9 on top of it.
Besides that you will understand why the “Sleep” setting is greyed out (just unclickable) and you cannot change the screen timeout. The solution is actually easy.
In this simple guide you will learn how to enable the dark theme (or dark mode) in settings of your Huawei P30 Pro in a few taps of your finger.
The tutorial will be also applicable to all other modern models running Android 9 with EMUI 9.1 such as Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 30.
File Manager+ is a rather popular Android app. I like it too and use on my numerous phones and tablets. Some time ago I had to install MX Player Pro because my devices played video clips from my action cam without sound. MX Player Pro solved the problem completely but when I tried to open videos using my favorite File Manager+, it played them without sound again.
I was surprised a bit but in a moment I understood that the file manager opens videos and songs in its internal players. In a few moments I made another discovery: as it turned out, my Google Pixel doesn’t have a setting to define a default video play.
By the way, my Redmi Note 5 had such. Here is how to fix to issue and force videos to play in the app you wish.
In this guide you will learn how to change Lock Screen apps on Galaxy S20, S10, S9, Note running Android 10 and 9 with One UI.
Phone and Camera are the default apps that show up on the lock screen of Samsung Galaxy S10, S9 and other modern Galaxy models. You can launch them quicker right from the lock screen by swiping from left and right corners respectively.
But you may want to change default apps to those you use most often. And here is how to do it on Android 10 Q and 9 Pie with One UI.
On Android 10 storage access principles for apps have been revamped. And apart from the positive aspects, this may cause some access problems for individual applications.
I faced a weird issue after installing Android 10 Q Developer preview. Suddenly, I discovered that I no longer see the photos and videos that I take on the Google Pixel, in the Google photo gallery.
The funny thing was that all the screenshots I took and all the pictures from WhatsApp were in the gallery but there were no new items from camera – only those taken before my upgrade to Android 10 Q. The fix turned out to be simple.
