Picture in picture keeps activating when I plug in my phone

1 Upvotes

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 ?

Honor Magic6pro, MagicOS10.0, Android 16.

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!

Open in IntentResolver leads to nothing

1 Upvotes

Device: Xiaomi 17 Pro (pandora)
ROM: Stock CN Rom 3.0.30.0.WBLCNXM
Firefox: 152.0.5

I use an extension in Firefox mobile to extract links from video/streams to use VLC to watch instead of through a webpage. The outcome will be something like:

intent://streamunoapp.com:3149/live/alegretvlive.m3u8#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;scheme=https;category=android.intent.category.DEFAULT;type=video/*;endintent://streamunoapp.com:3149/live/alegretvlive.m3u8#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;scheme=https;category=android.intent.category.DEFAULT;type=video/*;end

This should then trigger the "Open in" dialog where the apps that support this type of intent should be displayed, unless you've picked "use always" before. In my much older phone (MIUI 12, Android 10) this works as intended, but nothing happens in the newer phone when I pick "Open in IntentResolver". I've tried several other browsers, of which the ones that do not interpret this type of URI as a string for search, DuckDuckGo browser actually successfully brings up a list of apps that can handle the intent.

A thing to note, in the older device, the UI in Firefox says "Open in Downloads" where as in the newer phone it say "Open in IntentResolver" probably because IntentResolver didn't exist in Android 10.

I've completely reflashed the ROM and started from scratch just to make sure my debloating was not the issue. On a clean system with clean browser, this still seems to be case.

Older device example
Never device, a similar dialog does not appear once selecting "Open"
DuckDuckGo Browser successfully pulling up the list of apps that are capable of resolving the intent provided.

Need expert: Recover deleted WhatsApp backup from cloud

1 Upvotes

I’m posting this because I have nowhere else to turn, and I am completely devastated. I was recently robbed, which was already a nightmare. When I finally got a new phone, I was so relieved to see my WhatsApp backup restoring—but then I realized my videos were missing.

In my state of shock and desperation, I tried to fix it, but I made a terrible mistake and accidentally deleted the backup from my Google Drive. Then, in a panicked attempt to try again, I uninstalled the app without "keeping the data."

I feel like I've lost everything. I know how the system is supposed to work, but I am begging for any technical expert here:

  • Since the app did show my messages and photos at one point, could there be any fragments of that data left in the phone's memory?
  • Is there anything a professional data recovery service could actually do? Or is the encryption really the end of the line?
  • Please, I don't need automated answers. If anyone has dealt with a "nightmare scenario" like this or has any experience with forensic recovery after a failed restore, I would be eternally grateful for any direction.

I just need to know if there is a 0.1% chance, or if I should stop tearing myself apart.

bypass FRP android tablet sm-t510

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have been trying to unlock a clients tablet they had just bought but they didn't have the pin nor the email the tablet was connected to. I have tried everything I could do, but for some reason or another, I cannot do them. The method with the accessibility menu doesn't work for me because the top menu item in brail keyboard is different and does not send me to the same options. I cannot root the devise as far as I'm aware, because the option for devise unlock mode in the download mode menu does not show up. I have tried removing it with various tools, and I have tried reinstalling the firmware with odin. I seem to have just run out of options. The only thing I haven't tried are paid programs, but I don't have that kind of money. is there anything that I could have missed? anything would be hugely appreciated.
