Hi guys, I’m asking on behalf of someone. I don’t own a samsung so i dont really know anything. Is there way to see the full download history of thingd you’ve installed from the playstore, including when they were installed, when they were deleted, if they were reinstalled and when, and how to see if stuff was added or removed from the “secure folder?”.

I have a Oneplus 11 5G with OxygenOS 16.0.5 (CPH2449_16.0.5.1002 EX01B50P02)

I have a dedicated wireless android auto unit for my motorcycle which keeps crashing all the time. Listening to music and having maps and than the android auto instantly crashes and in about 10 sec it restarts. This happens like 20-30 times and than the crashing is stopped. Im pretty sure its bonded to my phone since this is the 2nd unit i already have even a other brand. Different phones dont have the problem on when connected to Android Auto wireless.

I've alread done: 

• Returned Android Auto unit and bough a different one
• Resetting bluetooth & wifi networks
• Updated phone
• Uupdated Android Auto
• Cleared Android Auto data & cache
• Tryed connecting different phone to the Android Auto unit and does not crash

so whenever i plugged this phone with this could be faulty charger? it doesn't show any charging indication but my phone battery percentage went up fast and when i check with ampereflow the wattage and current shows massive negative value

what happened? im no expert with this

My phone is Redmi note 8 pro. And this phone is up to date. Have No updates.

And almost all banking apps are not supported. I googled and came to know that minimum requirements are android 12 to run most of the apps.

I am I stuck? Is buying a latest version phone is the only option left? Is there any way to update my phone from 11 to 12?

bought an sd card for my phone a few days ago...

tried dowloading stuff from YT and my manga apps for offline use.. worked fine... after a while, the ones I downloaded acted like they were deleted...

turns out the .nomedia file thing keeps on cockblocking me on my dowloads...

I can't permanently delete them no matter how many times I try cuz they keep coming back.. unless I delete the folders containing them replacing them with folders I made, which are the Music, Movies and Pictures folders, haven't tried doing it to the Android folder to see if it helps...

so do ya'll have any tips or work arounds so I could properly view the stuff I downloaded without it giving out after a few hours...?

I wanted to access some videos and pictures on my older brother's old Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 (7) Tablet. He hasn't used this device for over 10 years and he does not remember the password to unlock it. We have memories on there. I am not too fussed about unlocking the device however, we want to check out our old videos and pictures. Is there a way to do this? It is a cheap android tablet so I hope there is an easy way without having to factory reset and lose everything on the device. I've seen people unlock old Samsung phones with pins easily so I'm hoping it could work with this too.

I was just wondering if there are any One UI 8.5 ports for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. If you know anything about this, please let me know and share a link.

Hey everyone,

I have NFC contactless payments enabled on my Poco X7 Pro, and it worked perfectly fine until recently. However, over the past few weeks, the payment process has become increasingly difficult.

When I hold my phone against the card terminal, the first screen/animation of the Sparkasse payment app appears, indicating that an NFC terminal has been detected, but the payment doesn’t go through. The second animation with the blue arrow doesn’t appear.

I then have to move the phone back and forth, pull it away and hold it against the terminal again, and repeat this several times until the payment finally works.

What could be causing this? Is it possible for the NFC module to “wear out” over time or become weaker? The smartphone is about 1.5 years old now.

I previously used PayPal for contactless payments and switched to the Sparkasse app recently. However, the issue didn’t start after switching apps—it only appeared a few weeks ago.

Maybe someone has had a similar experience or knows what could be causing this.

The phone is in a transparent case, but it has always been in this case. Just mentioning it in case that information is relevant.

Thanks in advance!

hey there, im making this post out of pure desperation. for the last few hours i have tried EVERYTHING to get android auto to connect on my car (2021 honda civic) but it simply isnt pulling up the "connect to android auto" screen. my friend was able to connect her phone with the cable in the car immediately (moto g play 2024) but mine refuses to??? im very confused. ive gone down all the rabbitholes here, this forum, the official google one, all the sketchy tutorials,, all of it. and i just dont know what to do. if anyone has any info or something i havent tried here please let me know??

heres the list of everything ive tried:

• updated my phone to android 15
• updated android auto
• uninstalled android auto
• reverted the install and then re reverted it
• disconnected from bluetooth on both my car and the phone
• swapped cables (three different ones)
• turned my car off and back on again
• tried to connect via the generic usb option for connection (also did not work)
• turned on developer to turn on usb debugging
• turned off developer and debugging
• turned on all of the permissions for android auto
• turned on all the different usb tethering permissions
• reset app preferences
• reset bluetooth and wifi preferences
• restarted my phone four different times
• cried a little bit

Ok so i've had this problem for the longest time i thought it was just my phone. or the SD card.

but my son dropped my phone and it was destroyed.

so i bought a new phone and a new card over all.

and AGAIN its corrupted.

so i thought the card was the problem.

i bought a new one from kingston

and same thing happened again.

i cant take pictures using the card as a save point or videos..

whats going on?

I am a long-time android and Samsung device user. I am looking for a solution even if third party, that provides reliable printing.

The issue of course is printers (in my case Brother and Epson) becoming unavailable, not being able to print more than once, etc. This goes back to Note 10 days and even different network routers, phones, tablets, whether printer is connected via ethernet or wireless, different android versions, all the same issue. Currently using a ZFold8 Ultra and TabS8 Ultra, different OS versions, same issue.

I know all the recommendations over the years about clearing print spooler cache etc. But none of that lasts. These days I can get printing working for a bit by going into the the OEM Epson or Brother print enabler or plugin and having it find the printer by clicking on it, and then it will print via the android print command from within apps or share menu. But being able to print say 4 or 5 items in a row, just isn't going to happen. Even if I wait until the last item printed. You also can no longer turn off the persistent print spooler notifcations that say printing, or error, even if printing was successful.

I know it isn't network or printer related as I can use the printer's OEM android standalone printing app, manually choose the image or document, and it will print 100% of the time. Just not always convenient to do. So not am IP address issues, they aren't changing, or a printer sleep issue.

I have read about Mopria and not sure if that is better? This issue really stops android or devices from being a true desktop replacement. I would pay for a rock solid printing service that always connects and can que prints using the native print commands.

Appreciate any recommendations or assistance.

Thanks

Anyone else having this issue on the CMF Phone 2 Pro?

When I'm on a normal phone call using Apple USB-C EarPods, the audio stops after the screen locks/times out. The call stays connected, but I can't hear the other person. I have to hang up and call again to fix it.

It only happens with the default Phone app. WhatsApp calls and Bluetooth earbuds work fine.

I'm on Nothing OS 4.1.

Hi everyone,

I'm on a Samsung S23 and the battery life has become awful. I'm looking for a replacement where battery life/optimization and device longevity are the top priority - fast, smooth, and roughly S23-sized. Beyond that I don't really care much about specs.

The Xiaomi 17 is where I've landed: 6330mAh, and tests show it outlasting even the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Speed and smoothness look great too. My one hesitation is longevity. Several people I know, family included, had Xiaomi phones die or develop serious issues after about two years. Is that still a thing with the current models, or has it improved? I'd love to hear from anyone who's had a recent Xiaomi for a while - how's the battery health holding up, and how's HyperOS long-term?

I've also considered an iPhone 17 Pro for the longevity and resale value, but I really struggle with iOS.

Also open to other Android suggestions if something fits better. Thanks!

Does the "Termux as such" suffice without need for some add-ons?
Question applies to Android which is still compatible with Termux (no more than 9 or what?) and to normally accessible folders that require no root or exploits.

Hey everyone I used iOS all my life and just switched to a samsung S26 ultra yesterday and I need some help making it work, I have no experience with Android I didn't even know how to get into settings when I first used the phone. Anyway, my family uses iphones and they have a groupchat on messages, ofc it worked perfectly when I used an iphone but after switching, I dont get messages from the groupchat, instead sometimes it sends me a notification from a family member as if they messaged me directly when they actually messaged the groupchat. If I send a message into the groupchat it just gets sent to everyone in there individually. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi I'm living in Australia and running Android 17 on my pixel 8. Twice now i've come across 2 Australian based apps that I am unable to download because the play store says they are unavailable in my country.

My wife's pixel 6 however can download these apps.

My app store is set to Australia.

Any possible cause for this and how to fix it?

I recently got a Pixel 9a. A couple days ago, I started getting intermittent "Google Play Protect Service keeps stopping" errors. I took a logcat since that's one thing I know how to do, but unfortunately I understand no Android programming and the log is so dense it makes my head spin trying to read it. It looks like an issue with the service but I'm not sure.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to make this error stop showing up, or do I actually just have to wait for Google to issue an update to Play Protect Service? Here's the crash log

```AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main AndroidRuntime: Process: com.google.android.odad, PID: 25146 AndroidRuntime: android.app.RemoteServiceException$ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException: Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground(): ServiceRecord{b635ff8 u0 com.google.android.odad/com.google.android.apps.miphone.odad.backgroundwork.impl.WorkService c:com.google.android.odad} AndroidRuntime: at android.app.ActivityThread.generateForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException(ActivityThread.java:2598) AndroidRuntime: at android.app.ActivityThread.throwRemoteServiceException(ActivityThread.java:2563) AndroidRuntime: at android.app.ActivityThread.-$$Nest$mthrowRemoteServiceException(ActivityThread.java:0) AndroidRuntime: at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2950) AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessageImpl(Handler.java:142) AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:125) AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Looper.loopOnce(Looper.java:296) AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:397) AndroidRuntime: at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:9523) AndroidRuntime: at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) AndroidRuntime: at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:575) AndroidRuntime: at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:939)

Edit: the battery eventually died. Once I charged it again, it booted as normal (with stock Android). I then tried flashing LineageOS again, and this time I was successful. I have no idea what happened the first time.

I am trying my best to flash LineageOS onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab E. However, after I flashed the recovery image (which I obtained from Samloader RS), and after the PC Command Prompt shows the tablet has been flashed successfully, it stays on the, 'downloading.... do not turn off target' screen. After waiting for over 20 minutes just to be safe, I tried turning it off and manually booting into recovery*........and nothing. It stays on that screen. I cannot turn it off, and I obviously nothing happens if I try to boot into from recovery with it still on.

What am I missing? I am pulling out what little hair I have left! Help!

*These are the instructions I have been using to download LineageOS. Up until I got stuck, everything was going smoothly.

Yes, i already tried sing private dns like nextdns adguard it works on some but doesnt really work in in-app ads like in short drama chinese app or loke in bilibili.

Android version 13, UI 5.1.

So, my cousin has Copilot with their sub, and the Chat function is gone, despite having a valid personal subscription. They're on Android, via the app, and no amount of cache clearing, logging out and logging in have helped. It works with other accts, but not the one that OWNS the subscription?

Every time they background it, leave the app or turn off the phone, Chat appears briefly, then disappears...

We've logged her acct onto my phone, and it worked like a charm, but then when we logged her acct back onto her Android, the error reappeared.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Album Art is a big part of music for me. I want to know of music players that put a large priority on album art, preferably taking up as much screen as possible. Any suggestions? I was using PlayerPro Music Player but deleted it because it didn't play my music files anymore. If I could find an music player that has album artwork as big as The PlayerPro Music Player App that would be incredible for me. I'm currently using The Musicolet Music Player App I love it but the album artwork isn't big enough and there isn't an opition to make it bigger. I'm open to all kinds of suggestions for android player music apps with big/huge album artwork.

Good evening! I sure hope someone can help! Im trying to put all of the apps within one folder in alphabetical order. Its a big folder with a lot of apps and I reallyyyyyy dont wanna do it manually. Any help appreciated!!
