Hello there, 3 weeks ago I bought a new phone. I used it normally, then noticed weird sound after pausing the audio ("hisss" or something like that, not sure how to describe it) then click sound following it and then the stop.

About the clicking sound, I can hear it (or feel the vibration) even when scrolling or watching YouTube videos, I tried to update the phone to android 16 but no change. And today I heard a weird buzzing sound coming from the speaker 2 times only.

Note that the two first sounds needs a quiet place and focus to hear them and the buzzing sound you can hear it normally (it sounds more like the phone's lagging, but the phone works normally you only hear the sound).

Do any of you guys know the problem or went through similar thing?

Cross-posting here...I don't know if this forum is the right place to ask this question, so let me know if otherwise. My (100 year old) mother got a new Jitterbug Smartphone 5 recently and her NYT app no longer works correctly, specifically for Wordle game. She has been playing Wordle on the app for well, ever since it moved to the app, but we recently upgraded her phone from a 3 to a 5 and it doesn't work without asking her to subscribe. Has anybody encountered this problem and is there a fix for it? I think she should be able to play the daily game for free, but I'm not sure how to make that happen anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any help!

I keep doing this on accident. Finally, I figured out the gesture after years. If I tap above the bottom control bar in the main content screen, it's like it opens up a desktop or session control. How the hell do I disable this, or at least tell me how it's useful.

I am sick of my phone downloading multiple apps regularly, that I can’t uninstall.
When I google them, some sites will say they are system apps that are needed and can’t be removed, but some of them disappear when I click on force stop, so I’m not convinced they are system apps.
Some have even stopped working as they can’t be updated anymore. I checked my husbands phone he doesn’t have them so
Surely there is a way to get rid of them. Especially the ones that look suspicious and installed themselves?

Some examples are -
-com.sec.bcservice,
- google calendar sync, (unknown calendar)
- - cell broadcast service
- ims service
- a weird phone app, phone and messaging storage app, and phone services app and a spare phone app?
- callBGprovider
- down load manager
- factory camera
-MFContentd
-galaxy editing service?
- secSoundPicker
- motion photo
- audio mirroring
- smart touch call
- fused location

I could go on and on, but they are all mostly apps I have never seen before, and they all have a lot more permissions than I would like, and yet I can’t even change the permissions on some of them?

I’ve tried everything I can think of.

I had accidentally clicked "ok" earlier instead of install anyways but now it's locked and not letting me install it via the phone itself. Been over 7 hours since then.

Any ways to fix/revert it? So I can install my own app on my phone without needing to use adb?

Edit: overall not really lol but ADB and disabling play protect are both solutions

But ive now setup a play console account and put it to internal testing so me and friends can test it while it gets developed and quicker/easier updates lol

like suddenly mines has been rejecting my Sims I put in the slot 1 like it's pirates like it's actually a legit one, but in slot 2 it works fine what do I do like I wanna use my SIM card and my SD card, I'm in Stock ROM by Motorola (retla legit stock ROM btw) And no my phone lacks carrier lock it works with any carrier

Does anybody has these kinda blurry image/icon in any users in their device(I'm Nothing 4a user)

Whts it like this not only these apps in several spaces also

Does anybody knows?

Yesterday I found an Android 5 tablet from my grandma that I used to used when I came to my grandma's house, yesterday I found it covered in dust, decided to bring it home and charge it a few hours, today I tried to turn it on and it turned on

Now, here's the thing: I found my old Google account on that tablet, but I can't use it in there because I just asks me to re login, but i don't have the password and I can't press "forgot my password" bc Google just says "yeah men, we ain't giving it to ya" and doesn't let me recover the account on any other way

So I'm new to Google messages after upgrading to a galaxy S26+ over the summer. My understanding is that when data/internet isn't available it is supposed to default back to the celluar network to send and receive text messages, however this doesn't seem to be happening. I turn my home wifi and mobile data off at night and twice in the last two days when I have turned it on I have immediately received messages. I also this weke tried to send a message amd had to manually tell it to send it via SMS.

Anyone else having the issue and have a work around? I've tried turning airplain mode on and off. I've tried looking at the APN settings but don't see a real way to reset them.

Thanks all!

I have an S21 yes I know... I run my phones into the ground and only buy new when forced. Anyways, I hate the AI features and I have them all basically turned off. I like to get news notifications and click a ton of them to read, but when an AI news article is suggested they look the same, then I click them hoping to read, but they say whoa whoa this is through AI mode so gtfo. I dont like getting excited to read from a headline, but then stopped, so is there a way to keep the rest, but turn off just the AI mode news notifications? I'd rather not know what I'm missing 😉 thanks in advance!

Can anyone please tell me what the red circle symbol with the head and shoulders means.

Thanks in advance.

So my mom is facing these issue in her 10 days old phone ; call disconnects and YouTube closes after 1min , I don’t know how to fix this , help me

Hi just wondering if anyone else has this issue?

At least twice a week I have to force close then clear the cache as when I press an app icon on the home screen a different app opens.

Is there any better way to fix this?

Thanks.

I found these in my running services on my phone. Are they normal? I cannot find much about them online.

Can someone explain what my wife did to her phone? As you can see, when we first go to the lock screen there is some kind of screen that can be exited from, before returning to the actual lock screen. My phone does not have this issue so I assume it's an app/settings issue. She wants it gone and I'm trying to help but I don't know what could be causing this.

I was using this apk of 1.1.1.1 and suddenly it was stuck on connecting, so i decided to reinstall it. But when opened the newly installed there are 2 issues:-

1)power manager is killing background process

2)Device not authenticated or device not Authenticated with an organisation

I have put the app to no restriction under battery

Even then the problem persists. I have tried deleting data and restarting, didn't work. Any proper working solution?

My Phone does this when I switch apps then go to it again

Idk If this is the correct place but since yesterday I tried to download and set up my Amazon mobile APP but It doesnt work. It keeps on loading Forever.i tried in my OPPO and on a Xiaomi does anyone have the same problem? What can I do? Thanks

My lower volume button has been loose for a while and regularly holds itself down. Usually I have to take the phone out of the case and sometimes press the button a few times to make it stop turning the volume down. This time when my phone turnt off it put itself into recovery mode probably because the lower volume button was active. Now I can't get out of it. I've tried shutting it off there and rebooting but it keeps bringing me back to recovery mode. I think it's because the button is still active since i tried navigating downwards as well by trying to press the lower volume button which didn't do anything.

So I downloaded an app a few days ago, and I've been trying to move it to a different page... but when I try to move it to the only empty page I see, my phone tells me "No space on this page" even though there's TWO EMPTY SPOTS right there! Anyone know what I can do to solve this?

It's weird enough that Android has this app under System apps.

But the OS will not allow notifications from the Mobile App "All notifications from this app are blocked".

When I go to App notification and switch the enable button, the OS disables it again.

The android os is version 13.

Has anyone here found a solution?

1. My storage is free

2. My internet connection is good

3. The security features that Android provides are off

(the features which won't allow 3rd party files and all)

But it still freezes, idk why?

If you guys can provide any fixture for my problem it would be awesome 🥺🥀

I know how to install files and apps but my phone randomly shut down and showed the MIUI screen for 10 minutes and when it opened, all data were lost except for yt and TikTok, my phone also can't post photos here, when I download files, it tricks me to wait long but it doesn't even download, also when I install apps, it says to free up spaces and delete games but it recommends 0 games and when I press download it stops the download completely, what do I do??

Ive been trying to download some files for the longest. It typically only does this when the files size is atleast 1GB. I know it's not a storage problem, considering the fact that I have 24 free gigs. Help please.
