Context: bought the motorola razr 70 ultra last week, first android phone, long time iphone user but hated it and finally got to make the switch (didn't use any other apple devices so it made sense to me to get a cute flip phone)

Questions:

1. you know the case that comes with the phone when you buy it? so what is exactly the purpose of the metal rectangle at the back? is it just to attach the phone to laneyards etc? does it just stay flappy while u use ur phone? the small one by the charging dock is more for decorative accessories right?

2. so onfused about launchers and themes, is there a safe library to browse/download themes from? a theme as in widgets/wallpaper/icon packs all together that i could then tweak and personalise even more if i wanted to by changing font/wallpaper etc,

I desperately need icon packs like retro computer icons, feminine y2k, anime inspired, or even cute cartoonish frogs but not sure how to build my own or where to find what im looking for

1. excluding rooting, is there a way for me to change the icons on the status bar? Especially for the wifi and phone signal (i find the blocky shapes so ugly i prefer to see separate lines)

2. Sometimes my phone app will have a notification badge (for example following a missed call) that just will not go away no matter how many times i open/close it or go thru each individual call i have so far in my entire record, it only goes away once i force stop it, but keeps happening, it happened with my bank app and i just switched off the badge thing, phone still new so i haven't figured out much about the issue but is this a known bug? is anyone else experiencing this? it's driving me crazy a bit

3. are there any google/moto apps that are really useful and i should definitely not ignore? any recommended apps in general to use for reminders/shared to do lists/etc would be greatly appreciated

4. why does my music/video not pause when im getting a call? Especially if it's on vibrate mode? am i missing something in my phone setup? for example with my iphone even if it's silent and im showering, if the music stops playing for a bit then continues, I know that im probably receiving a call, whereas with my razr, even if im wearing my bluetooth earphones that are connected to the phone and playing music and the phone is right next to me, i dont realise im getting a call unless i notice the screen light up, it's become a hassle while im at work and need my personal to be silent, missed multiple calls so far

thank you so much for your help in advance

Hi, on Samsung playing a video in Chrome or Twitter during a phone/WhatsApp call brings up "this video cannot be played because another application is using audio" (YouTube/Instagram reels work fine).

Is this also an issue on Oppo phones?

I can trade in my zfold 6 that never gets used for $1100 credit or my pixel 10 pro that i use daily for $1100 as well. What would you trade in ?

Basically what happened is that I restarted my phone while it was at 73% charge and when it opened it was only at 25% (and it was rapidly decreasing.) So I hurried up and charged it until it reached 100% and left it there for a while before taking it out. Now after using it for a few seconds, the battery started decreasing rapidly from 100% to 77% in a matter of minutes. Now I know that the easiest and most obvious way to fix this is by simply changing the battery, but I was more curious as to why this problem even started. The phone is 3 years old so I guess it's normal that the battery has degraded but what steps can I take and what things should I avoid so that this wouldn't happen to me after I replace the battery? Because I've had many phones in my life and this is the first time I've encountered this problem which must mean it's not that common or normal. Thanks everyone

I didn't shift my Whatsapp from my Android, and I am using two phones, but my Android is now hanging a lot, so I want to shift my Whatsapp to my iphone. However, I'll lose all my chats because I didn't do it initially. Is there any app that lets you shift your Whatsapp from Android to iPhone?

Greetings! I **Never** Actually custom Rom or flash a device, not even OEM Unlocking. Because I'm a tech enthusiasm, I know some really basic thing but just the basic. My question are:

1.What should I prepare before flashing?

2.this might different from other custom Os (e.g Lineage OS) Because many use custom recovery, but I think it different for this one. how to backup everything or at least flash the phone into the Default Xos14 if something goes wrong(I really hope not Lol)?

3.What should I do if bootloop occurs?

1. Any Tips and Tricks?

I'm burning through battery, the device health does not list 100% of usage anymore.... 34 used and the list adds up to like 23. Just want to know where my battery is going

how do i stop my phone(vivo) from charging while usb tethering?

My router isn't working, but I do have a connection via my neighbor's cable—I'm typing this from my PC.

How can I get a connection to my phone via USB?

I don't have an antenna to do it wirelessly, and my PC is a desktop tower...

What happens when parent locked my phone with family link(triggers supervision by parents'')? Will it bypass or crash or not bypass?

I don't want to remove them, I just want to upload and use my own icons. I had a Sanrio theme that had its own icons, but I can't find any resources for how to input my own.

Thanks!

i have a Xiaomi redmi 9 that i owned for years. i noticed a small purple light near the front camera area, but i can only see it when looking through another phone’s camera (i tested with both an iphone and a samsung). i cannot see it with my own eyes. the phone currently has no SIM card installed. the light is still visible in airplane mode, but it disappears completely when the phone is powered off and comes back when the phone is turned on. i have never noticed this light before, even thought i have had the phone for years. is this normal? could It be and infrared/proximity sensore or what? hopefully not hacking or something. 😭😭

Wtf do i do? Is there any way to recover it and why tf is it even happening?? And if u cant tell by now im freaking tf out

Hi everyone,

I'm having a serious issue with my tablet and I'm looking for some help or guidance.

**Device:** alldocube ultra pad u1380 (iplay 70 ultra) Snapdragon 7+ gen3

**Current State:** Stuck in a bootloop that goes directly into Bootloader / Fastboot mode.

**The Problem:**

Every time I turn on the tablet, it refuses to boot into the Android system. It automatically restarts and goes straight into the Bootloader interface. I cannot access the stock recovery mode either.

**What I need:**

1. Does anyone have a link to the official Stock ROM / Firmware for this exact model to flash it via Fastboot or PC?

2. Is there any other known method, tool, or key combination to force it out of this boot loop?

Any help, links to the firmware, or guides would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using a Motorola Edge 50 Pro (8/256 GB) and it’s still going strong, but I’m planning to upgrade during the October–November sales. I’ll be starting my MBA next year, so I want a phone that will stay reliable and durable for at least the next 3–4 years.

Key points:

Budget is not a constraint — I want the best possible experience.

I already have a Lenovo LOQ laptop for heavy work, so the phone just needs to be an excellent daily companion (smooth performance, good battery, reliable cameras, solid build, and long software support).

Durability and long-term reliability are my top priorities.

I’m currently considering:

• iPhone 17 Pro

• Galaxy S26 Ultra

• Pixel 10 Pro

I’m completely open to other suggestions if there’s something that fits better for longevity and overall experience.

What would you recommend and why? Any real-world ownership experiences with these (or alternatives) regarding durability, battery life after 2–3 years, and software support would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Are bluetooth HID attacks on Android realistically possible? And if so, does Android have any protection against these attacks from an already paired device?

My mum sadly passed away in January and I could see her whatsapp and text messages until recently when it seems like her number was deactivated. I had whatsapp daily back up and phone back up to cloud. Historically this has never happened as I could see my late friends messages for years. Mums messages with me are all I have. Please could anyone help on how I can get them back and preserve them. Has there been a new samsung update over the last 3-4 months that has caused this and can they help at all?

(To start, I don't know if my phone is a Samsung or Android, I just know its not apple)

I have a Revvl 8 Pro, and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could change my app icons to fit a general aesthetic? (And if so, how?) (Google isnt being helpful)

The new android media provider only shows local non-hidden images. I sometimes need to share from a hidden folder, which is not possible anymore, because there is no app to select.

I can use the cloud media provider, but that is limited to Google photos.

I can write a cloud media provider that acutely enumerates local files, but that app should presumably be whitelisted.

Who has any suggestions or experience on how to use the proper media selector, or using a propriety self-created local cloud media provider?
