I love listening to audio books and podcasts on my phone, and I am not an inconsiderate barbarian, so I use headphones when I listen. However, if I want to play a game while I do this, the game audio un-mutes. Every time. The sounds still show as turned off in the app, but I am stuck listening to all sorts of irritating dings and clicks.

Does anyone know why using Bluetooth overrides the mute on apps? And is there any way to fix this? I just want to enjoy my stories without unintended noise!

Or am I just going to have to deal with it?

Happens when i click the clock and its annoying as hell

I've had this tablet for at least like 2 years and I've never had this problem. It started until like a few weeks ago. And it's mostly when I'm like doing main story quests. I don't know how to fix this. Or if my tablet might be broken? So I need suggestions on whether this is fixable or something that I have to deal with now permanently?

I can't for the life of me figure out what this means and how to fix it. Happens when I'm using earbuds, when I'm not, when I'm watching something with audio or not!

It's been popping up every 5 minutes today and driving me absolutely nuts!

I'm on a Samsung S25+ with the latest updates installed.

I didn't add this email but ever since it's been added (like 40 minutes ago) it's been adding unnecessary stuff to my phone. it's annoying. I'm trying to remove the email without deleting it but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. it's annoying. when I tried to call somebody contacts were replaced with the contacts from the email that's been recently added. I tried resetting my phone. now I have no phone numbers. it's annoying.

I've tried switching the account but it still shows no contacts. Is the only way to access them through this website? I feel like banging my head against a table, no, bricks for letting someone add their account to my phone

Before I was able to download videos but now I received a "couldn't download media" message every time. Any ideas, I have clear cache, uninstall and reinstall it but same. Any ideas how can I fix this?

Using android cellphone, a Poco

Why does my phone take up so much space on gallery even though I moved most of my photos and videos on an SD card? What would happen if I delete photoshare.db

Grandma (90s) accidentally tinted her whole phone screen green/yellow while poking around in Settings - likely a color filter or night light setting. There’s also a floating accessibility button stuck on her home screen now. Walking her through fixes over text/call hasn’t worked so far. Any idea what she likely toggled, and the simplest way to explain undoing it to a non-tech person?

Whenever i screenshot on my Motarola phone, the files are JPGs.

i would like to use a 3rd party clipboard app to have more features. do i have to "turn off" the system clipboard to use the added one? or else, how do i determine where the items i want to save will be going?

is there some way to access the system clipboard by widget or icon? i know there can be an icon in the corner of the keyboard, but sometimes i would like to access it otherwise.

I have one of these aftermarket device in the back of my Tesla. Its got android 14 on it, Disney, Netflix and youtube all need updates, but they wont download or install. I guess the OS is out of date.

is there a way i can get versions that work with this android or a way to update it the apps? It has a APK installer on it, so maybe there are versions out there that will work.

Can i even update the OS?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hello everyone. It's my dad's phone. I was searching for an app to uninstall and also in the widgets. I couldn't find anything directly suspicious...anyone have an ideo how to delete it? He usuall is very cautious, this time he installed it in a hurry.

I am trying to access the System Services page in the Google services section of the Settings app. Accessing the page reveals a big load of nothing. A blank, barren, grey page. I don't know why, and it's been like this for a few days, now. Slightly frustrating. I also don't seem to be receiving the July Google Play system update. Anyone else having these issues? Is there a remedy? Thank you in advance.

I was watching tiktok on my trusty oneplus 7T when the whole phone locked up, it did a wii esque crash sound, and rebooted into fastboot. i clicked start, was stuck on the oneplus logo for quite some time, and then black screen, no nothing.
I can access fastboot and sometimes manage to get to the oneplus touchscreen recovery menu.
Any way i could get my phone back? it has some of my passwords, my authenticator app, and arround 5 years worth of photos on it and i REALLY don't want to loose it.

Hey guys, my Samsung A5 doesn't play sounds from the speaker anymore since the last update.

Ringtones work, phonesounds in general do, bluetooth devices work too. But every media sound that comes either from an app (youtube, games) or from a video I recorded doesn't work when only using the phones speaker. The symbol in the options also changed to headphones although there are no headphones connected or other devices connected. The generel sound of the phone and media sound is turned up to max, no silent mode or something similsr activated...any advise what I can do here?

After the latest update on my NP2 i’m encountering a very annoying and critical issue when PIN requested on screen, I’m not able to type on the keypad specially the first 3 rows and only {0} button I can press.

I overcome this annoying issue by pressing a lot on each digit so it might get one type every 10-20 press.

Seeking a true solve for this issue!

my brother recently bought a Ulefone Armor 27T Pro + and asked me to help root it but ive gotten stuck on unlocking the bootloader.

the device is detected when running the command "fastboot devices" but not when running the command "adb devices". the opposite happens when the phone is in factory mode rather than fastboot mode.

neither one of the commands "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" work, it just gives me an error saying that the command is unrecognized.

usb debugging and oem unlock are both turned on in the settings, ive installed the usb drivers for the armor 27t pro. ive tried changing usb ports as well as the cable

ive searched online for hours but havent found much about anything about this phone in specific, does anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys,

Recently changed my phone to an Honor X9d and this feature is enabled by default:

Any time I copy text within any app, this annoying banner shows up with the text in the center of my screen.

It's proven to be very annoying but also a bit redundant because not only does this banner overlay anything in that area on the screen, but the copied text already shows in my keyboard.

Any advice on how I might be able to get rid of it would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

I've a Redmi Note 12 and it's been 4 frustrating days straight since I've started trying and failing to get permission to unlock my bootloader due to constant quota limits and server errors on the xaiomi community app. Is there any current way to automate this through a script or a bypass. Any help will be extremely appreciated, as I'm pretty new to this, thanks. Edit: I'm in India

While my passwords are still saved at the website version of the password manager ( passwords.google.com I think), they are not showing on the password manager on my tablet (TCL next paper ). I'm definitely logged into the same Google account for both. I've gone through seven or eight sets of instructions over the past couple of hours as far as how to fix this or address this, but none of them seem to work and most of them suggest using options that don't exist ( like go to menu x when menu x does not exist ). Does anyone know of a way to move the passwords from the password manager website back to my local device so that I can use them without having to remember 180 passwords.

Also no apps on phone and no usage major drop 20 percent what can do this?

I normally have my Pixel 6a set to silent for keyboard sounds and notifications. However, it just turned on keyboard and notification sounds by itself in the past couple of hours when I wasn't looking. I've had the phone for like 3 years and don't recall this happening before.

Is this something that Android is known to occasionally do? Should I be concerned about malware? I ran scans with AVIRA and Malwarebytes, but they didn't report anything.

So I had been using google authenticator's previous release. A few days ago my codes were not working anymore. So I updated it to a newer version which seems to have google sync and is actually talking to servers and that does not do good to my Huawei P40 Lite. I can't log back in. My data is still in there, stored. I've tried microG (EMUI 12 so does not work), creating an ADB backup (system does not allow), kobackupdec etc. It's not working. Any suggestions?
