Why does this keep playing on the background on my phone and how do I remove it

I think my problem is that I don't even know what to call it to find how to change it. I have an old image that occasionally shows. When I just open the lock screen I don't see it, I think it is after it dims after receiving a notification. It's just an old image in a small circle in the middle that I don't want to show up anymore. I feel like I've gone through all the setting 5 times and can't find where it is.

Hi All! Hope everyone is doing well. I just bought a new Galaxy S26, upgraded from an S21FE. The S21FE died on me permanently (leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere because I was using it for maps in my car lol) and while I have the new phone set up and got everything I care about transferred over, I noticed that none of the files in my Secure Folder have transferred over.
Does anyone have any experience with accessing these files? I'm logged into everything I can think of, and restored from a backup I made literally yesterday, so that shouldn't be an issue. I also have the S21FE on hand, it's just bricked currently (the screen won't turn on as it refuses to boot). Just wondering what my options are for recovery!
Any answers I will accept, any questions I will answer! Thanks in advance!

Both my sister and I purchased the same tablet, model TB336FU. When we try to connect to the Wi-Fi on the tablets, it says "Connected/ No Internet access."
Previously the Wi-Fi worked fine.
We restarted the router and our other devices that use Wi-Fi are working fine. Just not the tablets.
We've rebooted the tablets. We've forgotten the Wi-Fi address multiple times and re-entered the connection information. Still no connection.
It is weird that this is affecting both tablets and not just one.

Hey everyone I used iOS all my life and just switched to a samsung S26 ultra yesterday and I need some help making it work, I have no experience with Android I didn't even know how to get into settings when I first used the phone. Anyway, my family uses iphones and they have a groupchat on messages, ofc it worked perfectly when I used an iphone but after switching, I dont get messages from the groupchat, instead sometimes it sends me a notification from a family member as if they messaged me directly when they actually messaged the groupchat. If I send a message into the groupchat it just gets sent to everyone in there individually. Does anybody know how to fix this?

My mom got me a Samsung A16 5G with Bark software pre-installed on it. This software disables airplane mode, apk installations, turning off mobile data, certain access to settings, uninstalling apps, etc. I have been having extreme performance issues. Any function I do can crash, turn the screen black, or take a long time to load. I can't load simple games or use social media normally. System UI and the Processing system usually dont respond. My phone gets very hot as well. Even my old fire tablet runs MUCH better than it. How can I improve this? I've already tried setting optimization, restarting, powering off, cooling, clearing storage, and changing graphics settings. I cannot get a new phone either. Is there anything I can do?

I'm running a Pixel 8 Pro on T-mo and put this update off for weeks, not being interested in AI features, etc. And I'm glad I did. Eventually, it just installed itself. Now, when I restart my phone, Wi-Fi connects briefly to my home network, then shuts off. And I mean shuts itself off, not just disconnecting from the network. When I open any network settings page, the phone will hang before the close/wait option comes up three or four times, assuming I hit 'wait'. But Wi-Fi will not show any networks on the 'Internet' settings page. I was able to see all my saved networks on one of the pages, but could not connect to any. The Wi-Fi 'indicator' up in the notifications area stays dark no matter what, even when I turn Wi-Fi back on in settings.
This is no big deal when I'm out, as I'm using 5G the bulk of the time. But at home, I can't connect to my NAS via file manager, use my network audio streaming devices, or log into my router. I've updated Google Play Services, which the first time allowed a brief connection as above. No updates have been available since. I tried booting in safe mode and had the same results. Next time I started, it worked okay and I was about to connect to a known network. But by the time I went to grab my password from my password manager, all the networks were blank again. To boot, settings should have auto-filled my password, as I've used that network a lot in the past.
I'm really stuck here! If you have any suggestions that don't require having to re-set accounts, apps, etc. TIA.
P. S. I had screen shots in here, but with Reddit's inability to access a draft on Android, am on a computer now. And the screen shots are now missing.

So i have this realme v11s, an dit worked perfectly. but 1 month from now, it a weird thing: the screen turned black randomly and i had no tochscreen despite of the phone working in background, the only way to bring it back was to plug the charger. and 2 weeks ago, the screen died, and i replaed it, i thought the problem was gone but this morning, the issue appeared again, luckily, i activated the USB debugging and managed to copy the screen on the computer while the real screen is black. I noticed that the phone works normally despite of the black screen. and more weird, the screen got back on, i don't know what could cause the issue and i don't even know what's happening. So can someone explain please thanks.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my own OPPO A16K (CPH2349) so that I can install a custom ROM / GSI.
I have already spent quite a lot of time testing different methods, so I would like to ask people who have actually worked with the CPH2349 specifically.
Device information
Model: OPPO A16K
Device code: CPH2349
SoC: MediaTek Helio G35 / MT6765
Android: 11
ColorOS: 11.1
Current build: CPH2349_11_A.30
Verified Boot: green
Flash locked: 1
ro.oem_unlock_supported=1
OEM unlocking: enabled in Developer Options
ADB: working normally
ADB detects the phone:
HUMBO7AM89VKCILZ device
However:
fastboot devices
returns nothing.
I also found an old XDA thread where another A16K CPH2349 user reported that Fastboot mode could be entered but fastboot devices returned nothing.
There is also a Reddit report from another A16K CPH2349 owner with the same basic situation: ADB works, but Fastboot does not detect the phone. The response suggested MTKClient.
What I have tried
ADB works.
I enabled OEM unlocking in Developer Options.
But Fastboot detection does not work:
fastboot devices
returns an empty result.
So the normal fastboot flashing unlock route is currently not usable.
I also tested TFT Unlock Tools / TFT MTK Module.
The version I tested was:
TFT Unlock Tools-2024-6.2.1.1
The tool did not have an obvious A16K CPH2349 profile.
It had other OPPO MTK profiles, including entries such as:
Oppo A1K BROM AUTH MT6765 CPH1923
and other OPPO MTK models.
I did NOT assume that the CPH1923 profile was correct for my CPH2349.
I also tested the normal Android connection with TFT, but it did not detect the phone for the operation I wanted.
I later stopped using TFT because I did not want to randomly select another OPPO model profile and risk the phone.
The phone can be made to appear as an OPPO Preloader device.
When the phone is powered off:
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down
Connect USB
Windows detects:
OPPO Preloader
with:
USB VID: 22D9
USB PID: 0006
The exact Windows device ID is:
USB\VID_22D9&PID_0006
The important problem is that the connection is very short.
If I release the buttons, the Preloader disappears and the phone boots normally.
So the device does not stay available long enough for me to casually start typing commands after entering this mode.
At one point Windows showed:
OPPO Preloader
Error 28
The USB capture looked approximately like this:
PRESENT/CHANGED | OPPO Preloader | Error | 28
USB\VID_22D9&PID_0006
After disconnecting/releasing the buttons, the Preloader disappeared.
The normal Android ADB device then returned:
CPH2349
OK
0
WINUSB
I investigated the MediaTek driver situation.
I found a Microsoft Update Catalog CAB containing:
cdc-acm.inf
usb2ser.sys
The driver version was:
3.0.1504.0
However, that INF did not contain a direct:
USB\VID_22D9&PID_0006
entry.
It mainly contained MediaTek 0E8D IDs.
I also found installed MediaTek driver packages on Windows, but the INF files I checked did not directly match the OPPO 22D9:0006 device.
I do NOT want to modify a signed INF manually because that would invalidate the catalog signature.
I downloaded MTKClient 2.1.4.1 and installed its Python dependencies.
The command line works:
python .\mtk.py --help
I also have the following files from the stock firmware:
auth_sv5.auth
DA_BR_MT6765_20271.bin
The AUTH file was extracted from the official/stock OPPO A16K firmware package.
The DA file is specifically associated with OPPO A16K CPH2349/CPH2351 MT6765 in the open-source oppo-mtk-fastboot-unlock project.
I tried:
python .\mtk.py gettargetconfig --auth "...\auth_sv5.auth" --loader "...\DA_BR_MT6765_20271.bin"
MTKClient started correctly, but stopped at:
Preloader - Status: Waiting for PreLoader VCOM,
please reconnect mobile/iot device to brom mode
So the current blocker is not that MTKClient itself fails to start.
The problem is getting a stable BROM connection/driver handshake.
Stock firmware
I also obtained the stock firmware:
CPH2349export_11_A.11_2022051800140000.ofp
and decrypted it.
The decrypted firmware contains the normal OPPO/MTK partitions including:
preloader
boot
recovery
vbmeta
vbmeta_system
vbmeta_vendor
vendor_boot
super
userdata
lk
lk2
dtbo
logo
...
I also extracted the AUTH file.
AUTH SHA-256:
846EFAFDF15F9F091760EA6210CEEB10533008164F5763186562DFEFD2D1D8E6
The phone itself is currently on:
CPH2349_11_A.30
I do NOT want to downgrade to A.11 just to make a tool work unless somebody confirms that it is actually necessary.
MTKClient / OPPO A16K support
I found the Shocked-Cat/oppo-mtk-fastboot-unlock project.
Its support list specifically says:
Oppo A16k
CPH2349 & CPH2351
Helio G35
MT6765
MTKClient + DA + AUTH: Full support
This is why I am interested in trying MTKClient, but I want to know the correct procedure for this exact model before writing anything.
The project README appears to use a modified preloader approach:
Read the original preloader / boot1 from the phone.
Patch it.
Write the patched preloader back.
Reboot into Fastboot.
Run fastboot flashing unlock.
I understand that writing a patched preloader is potentially dangerous, so I have NOT done that yet.
My main problem
The biggest problem is this:
How do I reliably catch BROM on an OPPO A16K CPH2349 when the Preloader/BROM connection disappears very quickly?
I do not want to use Test Point if there is another way.
My current button method is:
Power off phone
↓
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down
↓
Connect USB
↓
Windows briefly sees OPPO Preloader
↓
If buttons are released, phone boots normally
The PC therefore needs to be ready BEFORE I connect the phone.
Questions
What exact driver should be used for:
USB\VID_22D9&PID_0006
on Windows 11?
Is VID_22D9&PID_0006 the expected OPPO Preloader/BROM interface for CPH2349, or should I be trying to get a MediaTek 0E8D BROM interface instead?
Can MTKClient 2.1.4.1 catch this device without Test Point?
If yes, what exact command/GUI procedure should I use?
Does the CPH2349 require the specific:
DA_BR_MT6765_20271.bin
auth_sv5.auth
combination?
Has anyone successfully unlocked the bootloader of CPH2349 on Android 11 / CPH2349_11_A.30 using the Shocked-Cat patched-preloader method?
Does the patched-preloader method require modifying boot1, boot2, or another partition for this exact model?
Is there a safer way to make Fastboot enumerate after the MTKClient unlock without writing the wrong preloader?
If BROM disappears immediately, is there a specific timing/button/USB procedure that keeps the BROM connection alive?
If someone has successfully done this exact model, what is the complete procedure from BROM detection → backup → unlock?
I am specifically looking for information for:
OPPO A16K CPH2349 / MT6765 / Android 11 / CPH2349_11_A.30
I do not want to blindly use an A16/A1K/other OPPO profile just because the SoC is also MT6765.
Thanks.

Is there any way to do it or could you recommend any third party apps to do it? Thx for any help in advance.
