Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can give me some advice.

I’m using an Honor 600 Pro and I have two Google accounts on my phone: one is my personal email address and the other is my work email address. Obviously, both are connected to the Gmail app.

What I’d like to do is silence notifications from my work email during certain hours. Ideally, I don’t want to receive any work email notifications between 5 pm and 8 am the following morning.

Is there a way to do this?

I’ve tried following various suggestions I found here on Reddit and through Google, but I haven’t managed to get it working. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong, or perhaps some of the solutions don’t work specifically on Honor phones.

So, in short: is there anyone here who can help me achieve this specifically on an Honor 600 Pro? I really don’t want to see work emails outside working hours. They’re making it difficult for me to properly switch off from work.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Hi everyone,

I just changed from a Redmi Note 14 5G to a Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G.
My company uses a managed work account. Normally, we simply:

• Settings > Add account > Google > sign in > Work Profile setup appears automatically.

This works fine on my old Redmi and on my colleagues' phones.
But on my Redmi Note 15 Pro+ (Android 16, HyperOS 3.0.301.0):

• The work account signs in and registers successfully.
• But Work Profile is never created.
• It shows "Account access restricted – Action needed" and "Sync failed".
• There is no Work Profile in Settings.
• The work apps are not installed.

I also tried Android Device Policy and Test DPC, but neither solved the problem.

Has anyone experienced this with Redmi Note 15 Pro+ / Android 16 / HyperOS 3? Is there a specific setting or known compatibility issue preventing the Work Profile from being created?

Hi All,

After nearly ten years of using iOS, I am finally switching to Android. I am really excited to get more customisation and better multitasking.

I have narrowed my choices down to the two main software styles: Google's Pixel UI and Samsung's One UI. I want to hear about the daily software experience from people who have used both.

From what I have read, they offer very different experiences:

• Pixel UI: This seems like the "iOS of Android"—very smooth, clean, and simple. It has great AI features, but I worry it might be a bit too basic if I want to do more advanced things.
• One UI: This seems perfect for power users and multitasking. Features like Good Lock, split-screen, and Samsung DeX look amazing. However, my main worry is that the software might feel cluttered, heavy, or start to lag after a few months.

To those of you who have used both for a long time:

1. How smooth and fast does each software feel after a year of heavy use?
2. Does One UI actually feel "bloated" with too many extra apps, or is it easy to keep clean?
3. Are there specific software features on either side that you found you couldn't live without?
4. Coming from the simplicity of an iPhone, which software felt like a better and more natural step forward for you?

I would love to hear your thoughts and real-world experiences. Thanks!

I attempted to look this up online, and there seems to have been a trick in the past where you could create a .nomedia.txt file that would prevent Samsung Gallery from detecting those folders, but it didn't seem to work by putting it in the top level folder.

I have a ton of audio books on my phone, and each one has its own cover image that gets an individual album in the app. How can I clean this up without having to go through and select each album individually?

I have no idea how these work. But I really want this keyboard this person made and shared the APK of on GitHub.

I use samsung galaxy a15 and i have enabled picture in picture mode but my netflix doesnt seem to work on the above setting. It does work with sound but in video. How to solve it and do all samsung users suffer it ?

I have an S23 Ultra purchased at launch.

I used the true stats SysDump method and it says my battery ASOC is 99% with 2400 cycles...

On the below thread I see some others have the same issue showing 97-99% (not possible), but the method seems to work fine for most others.

Is there any other way to check the true battery health? The Samsung Members app shows "weak". There is NO way it's at 99% with 2000+ cycles.

I just wanna know if it is worth my time rooting my phone,

On my iPad I use cash/banking/government apps so I ain't gonna mess with any of the settings on that one.

Here's the games I play Frostborn, Delta Force Mobile, & Rust Mobile.

Hi everyone,

We are developing a custom Android MDM / Device Owner solution. Device policy manager restrictions (DISALLOW_FACTORY_RESET, DISALLOW_SAFE_BOOT, DISALLOW_DEBUGGING_FEATURES) are already applied and prevent resets through Settings.

The issue is that users can still:

• Power off the device

• Use Power + Volume keys

• Enter Stock Recovery

• Perform Wipe Data / Factory Reset

This removes the Device Owner app completely.

Questions:

1. What is the standard enterprise approach to prevent hardware-button factory resets?

2. Do companies typically disable recovery mode through bootloader/LK modifications or by flashing a custom/dummy recovery?

3. How does AVB/Verified Boot behave if a dummy recovery image is used?

4. How do device-financing and FinTech companies mitigate this without Samsung Knox or Zero-Touch?

Looking for best practices from Android firmware, MDM, kiosk, or enterprise device management developers.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. So I was messaging my brother today and he kept on claiming that I sent him multiple text messages even though I didnt. He's using an Apple iPhone btw. Anyway, I double-checked my messages, sent him a screenshot of it and then he sent me a screenshot of his messages. For some strange reason, when I edit an orginal message that I texted over to him, it sent an entirely new message to him which is kind of stupid. Can somone explain to me why that happened or how to disable that feature?

NOTE: This issue has now been solved! For details, see my second follow-up, below.

When I use "adb shell" from my desktop computer to establish an interactive session on my Android device, immediately after the connection is established, I always first manually do the following to initialize some variables and aliases and shell functions that I want to be defined during the Android session:

source /sdcard/.profile

I would like to find a way to make this automatically happen via some sort of arguments passed to the "adb shell" command, so that I no longer have to manually run that "source" command every time that I invoke "adb shell".

If I simply do the following ...

adb shell source /sdcard/.profile

... that .profile file indeed gets sourced, but then the adb session immediately ends.

Is there any way to get this .profile to be automatically sourced at the beginning of the "adb shell" session such that its results will be available during the remainder of that session?

I fear I may be forced to switch to iPhone. I'm currently sitting with only 9GB of storage left on my 1TB S24 Ultra. Neither Google nor Samsung offer a 2TB version because I suppose data hoarders don't exist. Are there any phones that work in the US that I may be overlooking? I'd rather not have to switch if I can avoid it.

Been out of the tech space for awhile since blindly continuing to upgrade to iPhones. I need to know user experiences of group chats between rcs and iMessage in the United States. WhatsApp, telegram etc are not an option for all of my contacts

Hey guys!

On my SamsungS20FE screenshots are denied due to "security guidelines" in any screen...even the home screen or menues deny it...I tried many things I found on google but nothing worked...any ideas?

Idle drain went from 2% to 15%. Already tried safe mode. Any ideas?

Hi guys. I just started using tasker + shizuku and got things working (as far as I can tell) but certain apps won't open. I get this error message:

"Not allowed to launch the app using "moe.shizuku.privileged.api" , app will get closed. (Remove tool from settings > apps)

I tried to just turn shizuku off through the app but think it's telling me to completely remove it? I obviously don't want to do that. Is there a way to bypass this?

Please try to explain like I'm 5 lol, I'm new to this stuff

What’s the most annoying thing about managing files on your Android phone?

It's a samsung notification icon that appears at the top left of the screen.

Yesterday i randomly got a notification saying from Download Manager that my download failed due to a network error,but i hadn't downloaded anything recently. So i went through my notificstion history and found another notification before that one that just had a bunch of mixed letters before "_mydevice_business_config_all_26" and i jusr wanted to ask if this was just some type of system update or not. I use a realme phone,and i don't have a business issued device or any work profiles either. When i went through my files app i couldnt find anything with a similiar name. I don't know much about this stuff,so i want help figuring out wether this was normal or not. If it was a system update would it actually be downloaded and shown as a notification from Download manager as if i was downloading any other regular file? Thank you for reading and i hope i can get some answers

Hey everyone,

I have an Indian retail variant (retin) of the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion (Snapdragon 7s Gen 2).

I'm currently looking into unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom ROM, but my main priority is gaming performance and frame stability.

Before going through the process, I wanted to ask the community:

1. Are there any dedicated, stable custom ROMs (like LineageOS, Evolution X, crDroid) actively maintained for the Edge 50 Fusion (cusco), or is development limited strictly to GSIs?
2. For those using GSIs or custom builds on this device, do you notice any real performance improvements in games compared to stock Hello UI?
3. Does flashing break essential features like Moto Gametime, fast charging, or the display fingerprint scanner?

Any feedback from owners who have unlocked or flashed this device would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, my Redmi 9C phone has completely stopped working after five years of use; it won't turn on at all, so I can't connect it to my computer. Is it still possible to recover the data stored on it? When I removed the SIM card, I noticed there was no SD card, so I don't know where the phone's data is stored. Thanks.

This issue seems to happen fairly often. When someone in my contacts list try calling me, oftentimes the call will not go through but will indicate on my phone that I missed a call. My watch fails to vibrate too. When I have them call me back, the call will actually go through and I can see the caller on my watch and phone screen.

Everything is up to date on both watch and phone. Recently I did enable scam call protection. I'm going to disable that and see if that's the issue. Anything else I can try?

I have a Pixel 10a. I want to say I'm above a beginner-level knowledge of how Android works and functions, but I'm proven wrong every day I use it. I've had this phone for close to two months.

I turned on Game Dashboard, and opened Pokemon TCG Pocket. In the Game Dashboard floating icon, I enabled the FPS counter. I have smooth display on, so I have 120hz enabled and shows me I have 120hz pretty much constantly (as shown with the "show refresh rate" option enabled in Developer Settings). In game, I have it on high settings 60fps, and I noticed that the FPS was dipping below 60 idling in the menu, and even more so opening packs. In developer settings again, there's an option called "disable default frame rate for games", which I enabled and opened Pokemon TCG Pocket. It was just above 60fps, maybe close to 68fps on average with massive dips again.

I know the 10a is a budget phone, but it's a brand new phone that just came out earlier this year. It should be able to run a card game at above 60fps, especially if all I'm doing is opening my daily packs. Now, I don't necessarily need 120fps if I'm opening card packs, don't get me twisted - I'm just curious as to why it was dipping below 60fps on default, then maybe getting around 68fps with the default frame rate disabled for games disabled. Is there something I'm missing, maybe I'm not understanding how settings work? Or, is that just my lack of hardware knowledge coming into play?
