90 PCWorld SEPTEMBER 2020HERE’S HOW REMEDY 5 ANDROID ISSUES
But other than waiting for the
next Android update, there are a
few things you can try to fix it. Of
course, you could unpair the
device from your phone in the
Bluetooth settings and try to pair
it again. If that doesn’t work, try
resetting your network settings
(inside System).
Failing that, you can clear the
Bluetooth cache by heading
over to the Apps tab in Settings.
Tap the menu in the app list,
select Show System Apps, and
then scroll down to Bluetooth. Once you find
it, open it, select Storage & Cache, and clear
both. That should get you going.- GOOGLE PHOTOS
WON’T SYNC
Google Photos is a fantastic service for
keeping pictures synced across phones,
tablets, and PCs, and it’s usually
instantaneous. But sometimes photos can
get stuck on one of your devices, and
there’s a simple culprit: your micro SD card.
If you have large photos or videos on your
external storage device (which we all do),
Google Photos will first try to back them up
before getting to ones you just took on your
device, even if you’ve turned off backups
for the card. All you need to do is pop out
the SIM tray for a few seconds, and your
backup will proceed.
3. YOUR PHONE’S SCREEN
IS TOO DARK
Your Android phone has numerous ways to
enhance your experience, one of them being
adaptive or auto-brightness, which adjusts
the intensity of your screen based on the
surrounding light. It’s a great feature, even if it
is a battery sucker, but it could lead to
occasional problems in bright light, especially
if Adaptive Battery is turned on as well.
Thankfully the solution is easy. If you find
yourself struggling to see your screen outside,
just pull down on your notification shade and
uncheck or flip the adaptive brightness toggle.
4. APPS WON’T
AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE
Google has set it up so you don’t need to
worry about using the most current version of
an app, thanks to the auto-updating feature
If your screen is too dark to read, try turning off adaptive or
automatic brightness.
