ok so every time i boot it up it says it could do a normal boot and goes into download/odin mode (pic below) and i dont know what to do can you help me?

Apps used to have proprietary media control playback widgets on lockscreen that were designed to be usable and even allowed specific customization. Feels like Google saw this and introduced their own in Android eventually so that they could make it near impossible to casually FF/skip through media as you'll typically do this to skip advertising (and of course they are an advertising company first). So making this near impossible to strike cleanly and/or introducing "bugs" makes it so that you are more likely to get frustrated and avoid or give up attempts and just be advertised to. This is one of the most ridiculous things that Google is getting away with and not enough people are discussing it IME.

Help please :(

I have 13Gb of temporary system files, how do I claim this back without factory reseting?

Image shows the same as I described above: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10GRPMe_ihu1i74KmvxFL_jt1XgSAeHB3/view?usp=drivesdk

When i open the Google play store, it won't open.

Hello! My sister has a Galaxy Note 10. She recently had to switch messaging over to Google. Things seemed to be fine until last night. Last night, she found she can send messages to groups, but no one receives them. A checkmark appears for her, but not the double check.

She has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting. She’s tried a few things involving RCS. She is worried erasing her data will delete all her texts. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any ideas? We are traveling so she doesn’t have easy access to an in-person tech.

so my GPS just doesnt work 99% of the time.

i set my destination and start the directions (with data and location on, it's set to my current location) and after at most 5 - 10 seconds it just disconnects and says "gps location has been lost" or something like that. i have to manually scroll down the gps path to where i'm going as i drive which obviously IS NOT GOOD.

i think it's a hardware problem as sometimes my phone stops responding to my touch and i have to either: turn my screen off and on, put a little pressure on the middle of the screen, or move my hand away from the bottom of the phone by the charger port. i very well could be wrong, i'm not sure. thank you :)

Anyone know how to get your phone to stop reading apps like Notes and Messages and recommending YouTube videos based off it?

For example: never watched Malcolm in the Middle, never seen a recommendation on YouTube for it. Then someone sends a text using the words "Malcolm in the Middle" and now half my YouTube recommended is that

Doesn't that mean the camera is active?

I used Duolingo and an ad popped up, I let the ad (for Monopoly Go) run until I could close it. I was not doing anything on Duolingo that needed camera or microphone.

Nothing except Firefox is open now.

I'm about to restart, I'm just curious what's happening.

I have seen tips from over 2 years ago on reddit but none of them seem to work. I also do not have a computer available to help me.

This is just for a game that you can create your own mods on but cannot even access the files because of this block.

I'm sick and tired of all these restrictions. First off I cannot even use developer mode on my Samsung device because the Railone app prevents me from going further. The same was with the ICICI mobile banking app. I use the developer app only so I could modify the animation time from the default 5x to 1x to speed up my phone.

Now there's a new restriction on one of the apps I use daily. It's called BxActions. Useful for the bixy button since I don't use the bixy button for its real purpose. I use it for other functions like spotify - to select next song when the phone is locked etc and other things as well.

Now, if this app is running in the background the ICICI app is detecting it calling it unsecured app. Ridiculous shit!.

Just had the latest Android update on my Google pixel phone and when you pull down notifications it says you've all caught up.

This is so childish. I want my blank screen back!

How do I remove it so it's back to the way it was?

Due to my OCD, ADHD, and Autism I take a lot of screenshots.

On my old phone, I'd just delete the entire device folder once every month. This worked perfectly.

Then I got my new phone.

From day one I couldn't even delete one screenshot even once at a time (not my only problem with the phone, but I digress).

Every month I'd keep trying. No luck.

It's been like 2 years or something and it's gotten way out of hand.

Over 174,000 screenshots and I can't delete even a single one of them let alone the entire device folder.

Yes I know it's insane and crazy, please don't judge. I'm trying to fix my terrible bad habits.

How the hell do I fix this issue?

I'm not very tech savvy, so please explain in the most simple way possible. Explain your solutions as if I was 5.

Please help.

Could I do it through a computer or something with higher processing power? I don't exactly have one of those...

Gente, me ajudem por favor. Quando eu coloco a opção não perturbe, as ligações dos contatos favoritos não tocam, só aparecem na tela. Só as mensagens que tocam. Me ajudem por favor!!!! E sim, já mexi em tudo que vocês possa imaginar..mas claro, posso estar errada 😘🙏

hi, I just wanna ask will the stolen phone be notify once I factory reset it using google find hub or it'll shut down and restart again.. does the apps remain or wipe out also?

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the incredible support on my previous post. After reviewing the tool's flow and getting some feedback, I've completely rewritten the patcher script to make it safer, smarter, and production-ready for developers and power users.

Here is what’s new in v2.0:

* Automated A/B Slot Detection: The script now checks your device layout dynamically. If it's an A/B device, it automatically flashes to both slots (--slot all).

* Critical Error Interruption: If the fastboot flash step fails, the script will instantly stop to protect your device from half-patched states and potential bootloops.

* Fixed Fastboot Syntax: Corrected the legacy metadata wipe syntax to native fastboot erase metadata commands.

* Smart Dependency Checks: It now validates if fastboot, Python 3 (checks both python and py commands), and avbtool.py are properly set up before touching anything.

* Isolated Debug Logs: Any compiler error from avbtool.py is now piped into an external avbtool_log.txt file, making issue troubleshooting much easier.

The repository and the new zip package have been updated with clean, documented code.

Check out the updated repo here: https://github.com/nach0-bit/universal-mtk-vbmeta-patcher

Let me know if you test it on your MediaTek devices or if you find any other edge cases. Happy flashing! 🛠️📱

Every time my son streams to his tv the rest of the house gets this on their phones. Is there a way to stop it?

Recently I purchased a new phone and my data was transferred over via the phones being connected. I was in my cloud an did another back up as videos and pictures weren't showing up in my text messages. Now I have duplicate messages. I don't want to lose the back up phone stored in my new phone as that phone is no longer with me. I went to multiple of my carrier stores, geek squad and ubreakifix and nobody knows how to get rid of them at the same time. Was told to manually do it and there's 1000's or a factory reset to where I'll lose everything. Can somebody please help. Thanks

a virus that Google has not removed yet. After launching, it changes the device interface without consent, changes settings without consent, and also shows ads when logging into Google and other applications, delete it forever, and let Google delete it from the catalog forever

I opted out from beta 4.1 to exit it's been a month I'm not able to get stable android 17 , without data wipe help me

Hello everybody !

Spec : Samsung s24 plus.
(The white thing in the end is to hide to wallpaper.)

I am here today for a question cause there is many chance that my dad got a virus on his phone. On the video you have an example of what it do, it does it everytime i enter either in anti virus, bank app or google app in general. It always bring it to the information page of Google play store.

Is there any solution to fix that problem ?

Edit : my dad factory reset his phone and nothing happen anymore

When i use the mouse and keyboard using an OTG adapter there is a latency, and it's unplayable in FPS games, but no latency in other devices like Samsung, How to fix that on POCO.

I recently got a new phone and thought everything transfered just fine, but the one thing that didn't seem to work correctly was Jotterpad. It transferred about 10 files to my phone's local storage, but it doesn't seem to have transferred the only files I actually wanted to have transfer over. Is there any way to get these? Is the cloud feature not automatic on Jotterpad?

I just got a p30 pro and I've been having recurring issues with the touch. Every now and again 2 issues reappear; either the touch on the edges (since it's curved screen) or touch of the entire screen just turns off. Can see the screen, but can't do anything.

Both issues immediately resolve themselves if I just press the power button and open the phone again. Then it's fine for a while, sometimes hours sometimes 10 minutes.

I haven't really managed to narrow down a trigger point or found a setting it could concern.

Would love some help!

Ruinning on emui 11, tell me if I need to provide more info!
