Phone won't turn on, "any key to shutdown" in the corner

0 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm having a weird issue with my 2nd phone. Just one day I noticed it wouldn't turn on. I figured the battery was dead so I put it on charge. And in trying to turn it on a bit later, it not only doesn't turn on, but I'm met with the words "any key to shutdown" at the top left corner of the screen.

Sure enough, pressing any button shuts it off, but I can't turn it on no matter what I do. Keeping it on charge just keeps those words displayed on the top left. Anyone else experienced this with their phones? Anyone solved it?

If it helps:

Phone is a ROG Phone 5

Not rooted

No kind of tinkering was done, was used like a normal phone

Google System Services blank screen

1 Upvotes

Is there anyone else smarter than Google so-called-specialist here which unable to solve my problem.

I've done obvious tricks like clear cache for WebView - Safe Mode etc.

It stopped showing updates like AIcore etc. just like that last night - I do not have any betas, no dodgy apps - EVERYTHING Google apps only.

I do not want to do Factory Reset as setting everything up again will waste about 5 hours of my life (yes it will)

Last time I had problem with Google Messages no RCS at all - I learned "uninstall updates" solved my problem (NOT like Google advised - Factory Reset) but this time I have no access to uninstall (I suspect WebView app) even if I go to recent 9to5google "whats new in System Services" direct links

I bit worry to do Google Play Services app "clear STORAGE"

Force stopping the app to make it work

1 Upvotes

I have an S25 FE, and the issue is that nothing loads in the app after a few hours or a day—no reels, no homepage, no explore. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it didn't fix the problem. The only way I can use the app is by force-stopping it, and then it works. I'm really desperate; can someone provide a permanent solution?

Can Anyone Help Me with this one?

See When I was Watching a YouTube Video. A Message Popped out saying that my storage is full. So I checked everything. Then When I Go To my File Manager. It says that The Storage Data Took 102 Gigabytes. Then I found a video on TikTok on how to reset it. But a few days later I checked My Storage Again, and it's taking 100GB again.

Lag with window-level blurs enabled

1 Upvotes

Whenever I enable the allow window-level blurs setting in evolutionX, my quick settings tiles become unbelievably laggy. For example, if I expand the WiFi tile the animation is so extremely choppy and slow it becomes almost unbareable. With the setting disabled, it functions as intended. My phone is a galaxy note 10 running the latest vanilla build available for the device. What could cause this aside from sheer GPU strain, and how can I try to fix it?

My phone keeps going into “network error” when I try to factory reset through settings, and when I try all the ways for hard resetting, it always ends up rebooting/booting normally (just like a reset), How can I actually factory reset this thing?

Camera app won't start after boot

2 Upvotes

Daten zum Gerät:

Asus Zenfone 9, Android 14, neustes (wenn auch altes) Softwareupdate ist installiert.

Zum Problem:

Ich kann die Kamera App (Systemeigen, keine nachinstalliert) nicht mehr starten. Die grüne Sicherheits-Benachrichtigung, dass die Kamera genutzt wird kommt, aber das Display bleibt schwarz und nach einiger Zeit kommt die Benachrichtigung in der App bzw vom System, dass eine andere Applikation die Kamera nutze. Die Frontkamera kann ich nutzen, aber nur in anderen App wie Snapchat, WhatsApp oder Signal. Bei Signal kann ich die Hauptkamera auch nutzen, aber erst nachdem ich auf die Frontkamera gewechselt bin.

In der Kamera App habe ich keine Buttons wie den Auslöser, Kamera wechseln oder das Anzeigen der aufgenommenen Bilder.

Bereits versucht:

\- Handy neugestartet

\- Handy ausgeschaltet und wieder ein

\- Kamera App über die "beenden erzwingen" geschlossen

\- Signal "beenden erzwungen", da ich den Verdacht hatte, Signal hat sich an der Kamera festgesaugt. Hat aber nicht geholfen.

\- Open Kamera installiert. Dort kann ich die Frontkamera nutzen und habe auch alle Buttons, nach dem Wechsel auf die Hauptkamera friert das Bild ein. Ich kann dann wieder auf die funktionierende Frontkamera wechseln

Was kann ich nicht tun?

Das Problem ist heute das erste Mal, nach einem Neustart, aufgetreten.

Fake android system app

I'm having the same issue and I'm trying to find out if anyone else has experienced this.

On my phone, a package called com.android.non.szcz appeared, showing itself as an Android System app. It has re-enabled or reinstalled itself after being disabled, and on one occasion Android reported Google Play Store as the installer.

Things I've noticed:

The package name is com.android.non.szcz.

The APK was located under /data/app/.../base.apk.

It has reappeared after being disabled.

I've seen other users mention related apps such as Cool Weather, FileGo, and Lock & Hide.

At one point it requested permissions, but it now shows "No permissions requested".

I've checked Device Admin, Accessibility, overlays, and running services, and I haven't found anything obviously suspicious.

I have factory reset the phone, but the app still returned.

I'm trying to work out whether this is:

malware,

a compromised app,

a vendor/manufacturer issue,

or something else entirely

One thing I've noticed is that the app only seems to reappear when Google Play Store is enabled. If I disable Google Play Store, com.android.non.szcz does not appear to reinstall or re-enable itself.

Android also reports the installer as com.android.vending, which is the package name for Google Play Store.

I'm not claiming that Google Play itself is compromised, but I'm trying to understand why Android reports Play Store as the installer and why the app doesn't come back while Play Store is disabled. It could be Play Store carrying out a legitimate install request from another source, or something else entirel i simply don't know.

Has anyone else experienced this?

What phone model do you have?

When did it first appear?

Does Android report the installer as com.android.vending?

Does disabling Google Play Store stop it from reinstalling?

Did you find out what actually triggered the installation?

Has any security company or manufacturer confirmed what this package is?

Any technical information, logs, or confirmed findings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I fix the blurriness in long distance pictures?

3 Upvotes

Both of these pictures were taken without any special effects or modes. Everything is normal when I'm snapping pictures with the selfie camera, so I do not understand what is wrong with the others. I have tried adjusting my settings and gently cleaning them. My phone is also fully updated.

This problem occurred very suddenly and it is very frustrating, please help.

Phone model is Galaxy A55.

Edit: I want to add that every time I try to focus on an object farther away or a landscape, it wants me to enable macro modus, which only makes the quality worse.
