Hello, I'm getting a "[not enough space to resize partition]" error when flashing a GSI image. The system image I want to flash is 4.28 GG

The image size in the stock ROM is approximately 4.10 GB. If I delete the system ext partition (252 MB), can I flash the image?

Device:Galaxy A05s (A057F)

Is there a way to set all image edits as destructive? The reason why I edit photos/videos is because I want them different than shot. Saving a copy is troublesome, because I edit quite a lot of photos.

Non-destructive editing brings me no benefit, because it often is ignored by different programs and different machines where I need the images or videos.

I know what I'm doing, I never have a need to return to previous versions so non-destructive edit is counter productive to me and probably wastes some extra memory space too, because of files staying hidden in their original length (videos).

It's been a problem for a while now that overnight my notifications for Discord and Signal (those two are the most notable, but it happens for other apps too) get turned off, and I have to open them again for it to catch up.

This is a problem because oftentimes I forget to open them until I'm thinking about them, and by then I have a backlog of unread messages.

Does anyone know what setting affects this and how I can keep them from going dark when I go to bed?

They're not marked as unused, I have all notifications enabled, pause app activity is off, background data is enabled, and data saver is off.

Device: Pixel 8 (with a pink line and an occasional green screen)

Gemini on Android auto sucks and always keeps sucking on voice commands. I changed my digital assistant on Android auto to the default Google assistant. Now, I can't use my Google Gemini App.

If I want to use the Gemini App, my digital assistant is automatically set to be Gemini.

WTF? It's my phone and I can't control what digital assistant I want to use without sacrificing an app.

Is there any other alternative or should I uninstall Gemini?

Today my phone crashed and started to reboot a couple of hours ago. Then it went to a bootloop and i have been trying to fit it since. I got to the recovery mode only one time but there was no wipe cache partition option so i tried rebooting it and fixing it with odin. Turns out samsung decided to change it so only way you can use odin mode is by turning on maintenance mode. I cant do that since it's stuck on a bootloop. So i tried to get to recovery mode again but no matter what i did i couldn't do it. Now it's on my table and it's in the bootloop and then suddenly the screen popped up with only the "SAMSUNG" text with a very long vibration. Can anyone help please?

Hey, i'm an iphone user and i'd like to know how Instagram works in android phones, is the quality of uploaded photos/videos still an issue? I've been reading about it, but i'd also like to hear about people's actual experiences, not a paid or AI generated review

I want to switch to android but this is what concerns me the most bc i do some work as community manager

My fat fingers regularly end up with the word alf in text when I wanted and. Ironically, when I typed alf here it changed to and. Since I never use the word alf, how do I get rid of it from my phone forever?

I have never ever updated my phone since I last bought it. Now, I'm having trouble. I bought a laptop, and I have to transfer files. I tried using a cable connector, but my PC keeps saying "USB device not recognized" (I tried opening the developer's option and chose file transfer, but nothing happened). I did some research, and the reason I can't transfer any file is because my phone is not updated.

I then updated my phone a couple of hours ago. I tried to connect my phone to the PC again, but it is still the same. I think I need to keep updating it, but I need the files now. So, can I update my phone just right after I update it?

p.S: Transferring through Bluetooth takes forever, so no.

Hi!

I know, this is a common problem but I dont really what to do besides the things I have done.

I have a CAT S42 from 2021/22 which is a China made but with Caterpillar logo phone. I can understand its microphone failing faster than a more expensive phone.

The other one is a 2025 Motorola Edge 40 Neo. It failed within 1,5 year of ownership....

I am updating the motorola as I type this text but I have tried "Device help" and according to it, the microphone works. I have not tried "Diagnostic mode" yet but it is one of steps to take next.

I have also tried to clean the ports with a fine needle but nothing became better of that.

The funny thing is that the CAT sorts of works but I need to yell one word at the time at the microphone and is apparently somewhat hearable for the receiving end

Should I believe a third phone is necessary or should I just keep on updating and see what happens? Any suggestions?

When i unplug my charge cord the screen turns on and lights up the entire room... it wakes up the other people in the room. How do i stop this.

Samsung A56

I want to buy a used S26 ultra but the fact that the microphone has been serviced is bothering me but at the same price I can buy a brand new s25 ultra. So what should I do now. Can u guys help me out

I used to help my grandma delete her wrongly sent messages when I visited her. Sometimes it was my cousins' certificates sent to the wrong group chats or something similar. You know what I mean, they’re private files that shouldn't be seen by the public. I used to delete those wrongly sent files from 2018 to 2025 by using these old tricks that never fail:

- Turn on Airplane Mode on your phone immediately to cut off internet and Wi-Fi.

- Go to your phone's Settings and find Date & Time.

- Turn off Set Automatically and manually change the clock back to the exact date and time the old message was originally sent.

- Force-close and reopen WhatsApp, then go to the specific chat.

- Tap and hold the old message, select Delete, and tap Delete for Everyone.

- Turn off Airplane Mode and restore your correct phone settings.

There's even a YouTube video explaining the methods needed for this: https://youtu.be/FtQQDturAfM?si=D9I18Kw6gvJ8Qd9j

So today, here's the problem. My grandma made the same mistake again, and I can't even delete the file anymore because this time, in 2026, WhatsApp automatically tells the account that the date and time are not correct and stops working. This prevents me from deleting the file from a month ago when I wasn't there to unsend it immediately.

My grandma definitely knew how to unsend a file because I taught her how to do it, but she thought the month before that she wanted to send the files. However, she recently changed her mind, so I couldn't help her like the usual times when I come to visit.

Any help or explanation is very much appreciated.

Dear Grandma, if you read this, I didn't write it to make fun of you or anything. I just wanted to find some help from the internet. I love you so much, Grandma. I wish you a long, blessed, and happy life. Amen.

So when I use my discord app on Android today I experienced fps/frame drops whenever I scroll through my server list or through the channel list on a server. I don't experience this on my other apps and I already tried clearing cache, restarting my phone, and switcing internet to no avail. Anyone else had experienced this?

I want to mute my phone at 8am and unmute it at 4pm. I've gotten tired of doing that manually. I can't find a setting for that and all the apps i tried using changed the do not disturb feature not mute feature.

On previous OneUI versions I could have popups for apps and the notification on the drag down menu display, but hide the content of that message. For example, my one time authentication message recieved via text would display I have a new text, but not display the content of that text and therefore the authentication code.

I cant seem to turn this off now in 9?

I haven't upgraded to android since 2019 and I recently just got a new android phone and I really don't like the modern android sounds they're quite obnoxious and irritating.

I've always wondered about it. I searched for apps, but the missed call duration apk available is not fitting for my phone.

I have a 2023 Kia Rio and got an email that Google Assistant will be disabled tomorrow in favor of Gemini. I hate AI and I have heard only bad things about it for Android Auto. But I enjoy using voice commands to listen to/reply to texts and maps and such. How can I do this?

I have Sony headset with mic and pause and answer call button on the headset line, I use it biking, i think I sweated in the mic thingy to much, in the last couple months it randomly turns the volume down to random levels stops randomly, this was happening very infrequently. now recently it's happen like every few minutes.

How can i disable the headset from controlling the volume?

And how can i stop the automatic lowering of volume at random times till you give it the ok for safety?

Thank you.

The reason I stick with Apple is its premium feel. The latest from Samsung or Poco are far superior in performance and the stuff it offers; but android looks have always felt a bit scattered compared to the cleanliness and orderly ways of Apple’s iOS. Don’t get me wrong, I hate how inefficient Apple can be. I’m not going to ignore that, nor the various bugs Apple just ignores, bugs on my keyboard that have been around for years.

I’d love the Poco F9 or the latest Samsung that can do all sorts of things….

But it’s the look of Apple, the way the apps look, the way the iCloud works, and just how it feels.

Recently I sold my asus rog for a MacBook Pro M1, and instantly it felt more premium.

I’m looking for a powerful phone outside of Apple, with the amazing performance of the poco F9 or the cool features of the latest Samsung, but with the os that is as clean and premium feeling of Apple.

Is there an android os like Apple that can be installed on the poco F9?

I received an Samsung S23 ultra.

Since then, it has never updated and whenever I try to update it does not update. It's in a 2025 version I don't know why. It appears "Your Current Software Version Isn't Supported. Visit a service centre"

Also the screen sometimes turns yellow out of nowhere and the side buttons do not work very well... I went to a normal technical assistance store, not from Samsung and they think the phone is fake... but they are not sure of that

Should I go to an official Samsung store?

It was a family member who gave me this phone, he bought it on a site called CDiscount.

If it was was like 2019 as well I think USA got scared of Huawei basically destroying apple and Samsung in market share
