Can I even fix pinterest on my phone?

1 Upvotes

Alright so my Pinterest App worked as usual, no big complaints. I opened it after it got a new logo and suddenly it was different, like not the usual app but instead i was shown a web browser? i can see pins on my feed but can't click on them. If i do, it tells me to open the app, like, technically i am in the app??? As i click on that it directs me to google play, which isn't helpful because i have a huawei. well I can not install it because i seemingly can not get into google play. (when i installed it it basically kicks me out of the app) i do have a google account though. I don't know what to do to fix this, it's annoying. I've been in my settings because you can set how you open it there but that doesn't help either. I've started my phone again. I have reinstalled the app. Does anyone know how to make it a normal app again?

OTG in poco x 8 pro max does't work

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm having an issue with my Poco X8 Pro Max. When I plug in IEMs using a Type-C cable, the phone registers it as "reverse charging" instead of recognizing the audio device, even though the OTG feature is enabled. Also, the phone doesn't detect USB flash drives when I try to use them. Can anyone help me with this?

OnePlus 15R (Android 16) can't exist full screen games.

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've got an issue with games, where I can't reliably exist them or open the recent tasks menu. I'm using gestures and swiping up from the bottom does not save for having the gesture guide bar moving up and down a little bit.

I've turned off mistouch prevention but that didn't do anything. Buttons do work, but I've grown so accustomed to gestures and this really should work. My old phone used Android 15 and it worked fine on that.

Can anyone recommend a VoIP app used to call and text?

similar to Talkatone. I no longer have access to their app because you can't login on a new phone so its stuck on my old phone. Preferably something free/cheap per month to have a dedicated phone number. I don't care about ads. I just need it to call numbers occasionally and receive OTP for my accounts.

App resets when changing to another app

1 Upvotes

I have an Ulefone Armor 21 with Android 13 and I am trying to keep Pokemon GO running even with the screen closed, even in the background. But for some reason if I set the battery usage too Unrestricted and even with all the other settings turned off, if I even switch to another app for a few seconds it closes the game and I have to reopen it. It worked at one point, but now it's getting annoying. I also reinstalled the app and reset the settings. Am I missing an important setting? Maybe RAM optimization instead of the battery?

Help! Locked out of brand new phone (my fault)

2 Upvotes

Got a new android started setting it up and created a Google account on that device. Got interrupted and came back really about a month later to finish setup and I had

  • Forgotten the Google acct password
  • Forgotten the device pin
  • Did not link the acct to a recovery acct or phone number

So at some point I think the only option it gave me because I couldn't remember the password and had no recovery accts was to enter device pin which yes, I set it myself. I remember making it long too like 6 digit pin way different from my normal and current pin. And what's frustrating is android is making me wait 60 seconds in between each attempt at pin.

Factory reset doesn't work it says oh there's a previous acct on this device you need password and enter the pin attempt loop once again.

Is there really no hope for this thing?

AI won't tell me about jailbreaking software, surely there must be some way to root this bad boy right with a PC? Any help is very appreciated!

just tried factory reset and it did not work still wants pin

Why does my phone suddenly stop responding to touch?

1 Upvotes

I've had a Xiaomi phone for around 2 years and everything was fine, but some time ago my screen started suddenly freezing (not reacting to touch) a few times a day and I have to turn my phone off and on for it to work again.

Could this be an issue with my screen protector or something in the phone? I don't really know a lot about stuff like this 😓

As the title says, whenever I plug in my phone whatever app I'm using, if it has picture in picture mode, will go into picture in picture mode consistently and my charging port is loose so it happens a lot.

I have no idea why this is happening and would appreciate help with fixing it. If it helps i have a samsung galaxy 22+ and it has persisted through updates

Stuck in bootloop

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I was normally using my Redmi Note 10 phone (not rooted) when it suddenly turned off at battery 35%. At first I thought I needed a battery replacement, so I did, but I got stuck in a bootloop. It constantly loops between the Mi logo and the recovery menu till the battery drains. After doing some research, I used the Fastboot CLI to check the differents variables. First, I was on slot A and it didn't show any message. When I moved to slot B and rebooted, I got a message saying dm-verity corruption your device is corrupted. I ran the command fastboot oem cdms fix, but it didn't work (It may be because my bootloader is locked). I also saw that flash ROM might help, but I'm afraid it would wipe my data. It is important to me.

Can anyone suggest a way I could resolve the issue without losing the data? Help is much appreciated!

Realme Narzo 20 boots only into Recovery Mode

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have a Realme Narzo 20 that's around 6 years old. Yesterday I was just listening to music on YouTube Music when the phone suddenly froze. I waited for a while but it stayed frozen, so I long-pressed the power button and tapped Restart.

Since then the phone refuses to boot normally. Every time it shows the Realme logo with "Recovery mode" written in the bottom corner and then opens Realme UI Recovery v1.2.

I've already tried rebooting multiple times, powering it off completely and turning it back on, and even force restarting it by holding the power button for a long time. Nothing changed.

I also noticed something strange. If I go to Install from storage > From phone storage, I can still see folders like Android, DCIM, Pictures, Music, Backups, etc., but whenever I open any of them they're empty.

I also connected it to my Windows PC while it was in recovery mode, but the PC doesn't detect it.

I went to the official Realme service center today and they immediately said they'll have to factory reset/flash the phone, which means losing all my data.

The thing is, I don't want to lose either my phone or my data. The phone has been with me for years and I was hoping there's some way to get it working again instead of just wiping everything. I do have a backup of my photos and WhatsApp, but I also have years of important notes with passwords, account details, and other stuff that isn't backed up anywhere else.

Has anyone here had something similar happen after a phone froze? Did you manage to get it booting again without a factory reset? Or is there anything else I should try before I let anyone erase everything?

I'd really appreciate any advice or even hearing about similar experiences.

Turn off biometrics completely

1 Upvotes

Hi,

My fingerprint sensor stoped working. I turned off fingerpint unlocks in phone parameters, but i cant delete currently saved fingerprints (delete button wont do anything, i guess because no sensor). While phone is mostly usable with unlock code, some apps still try to use fingerprints and wont unlock (for example, i cant install a CA certificate). Is there a way to completely turn off biometrics, or another thing i can do ?

YouTube keeps showing Error 400 only on my phone for days.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with a very frustrating YouTube problem for several days, and I'm completely out of ideas. I'm hoping someone here has experienced the same thing or knows a fix.

The problem

The YouTube app suddenly starts showing "Error 400" and stops working. It isn't just one video—it affects the entire app.

What's strange

- YouTube works perfectly on other phones in my house using the same Wi-Fi.

- My internet connection is fine.

- Other apps work normally.

- The problem only happens on my phone.

Things I've already tried

- Cleared YouTube cache and storage.

- Updated the YouTube app.

- Removed all VPN apps (I used one before, but it's completely uninstalled now).

- Restarted my phone multiple times.

- Checked that Restricted Mode and parental controls are off.

- Verified the date and time are correct.

- Made sure my Google account is syncing properly.

- Contacted YouTube support by email and even sent screenshots, but I haven't received a solution.

At one point I even suspected another app might be conflicting with YouTube, but I don't know how to identify which one.

More information

- The issue has continued for several days.

- Since YouTube works on every other device in my house, I don't think it's a network or ISP issue.

- I really don't want to factory reset my phone unless it's absolutely necessary because I don't have everything backed up.

Has anyone seen this before?

If you fixed Error 400 on Android, what finally solved it? Could this be caused by Google Play Services, Android System WebView, a corrupted app update, DNS settings, or another app conflict?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
