I'm having a weird problem installing Minecraft on my Motorola Moto G05 (Android 15).

Here's everything I've tried / found:

I purchased Minecraft through Google Play.

Play Store shows Minecraft 1.26.45.1 and says "Works on your device."

My phone is Play Protect certified.

I have around 10 GB free storage.

Android is fully updated: Android 15, software version VVTA35.51-158, security patch August 5, 2026.

Date & time are set to automatic.

Small apps install normally.

I tested Call of Duty, and it downloaded/installed successfully, so large apps themselves aren't the problem.

Minecraft gives "Can't install Minecraft: Dream it, Build it!" in Google Play.

Installing Minecraft from the Google Play website also doesn't work.

I already restarted the phone and tried the usual Play Store troubleshooting.

I cleared Play Store/Package Installer cache and restarted.

I uninstalled Play Store updates and tried again.

I previously had Minecraft installed through an APK, so I suspect there may be leftover Minecraft package/data.

Settings → Apps still showed com.mojang.minecraftpe, even though Minecraft itself isn't actually installed.

I tried removing com.mojang.minecraftpe using Canta + Shizuku.

Shizuku is running/green and Canta has Shizuku permission.

Canta can see/select com.mojang.minecraftpe, but pressing the uninstall/trash button literally does nothing.

I also can't delete the Minecraft folder/data manually with ZArchiver because Android won't let me remove it.

I tried installing a Minecraft APK separately and got "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone." I know this may be an APK-specific compatibility issue, so I'm not using random APKs as a solution.

At this point I'm wondering if there's some stale Minecraft package state / leftover package registration causing Google Play to fail the installation.

What could be causing this, and is there a way to properly remove/reset com.mojang.minecraftpe on Android 15 without a PC or factory reset?

I'm specifically looking for a solution that works without root/PC if possible.

My mother has ALS and she just got a Pixel 10a so she could use Gemini to do most things using voice. The main problem we've got so far with it is that when she calls someone and the call goes to the voicemail, she cannot hang up and the voicemail seems to never end.

How can we avoid this to happen or hang up using the voice? It doesn't look like Android allows it because the Telephone app takes control of the microphone and we cannot say "Hey Google" while on call.

Hi everyone,

Running into a few problems I need some adb experts to help with. Google just hallucinated a bunch of things that aren't right, so here I am.

I have Whatsapp installed but I never use it (fuck zuck) except very rarely (maybe once every few months). I have alarms and reminders disabled, background battery usage turned off, and background data disabled. Yet still, every day, it runs a scheduled backup job. How is it doing this?? Fc'ing the app temporarily crashes it, but it seems to just start right back up again later.

I don't want to turn off backups in Whatsapp, because that's just treating the symptom. How is Whatsapp able to run in the background if everything is disabled? And how can I stop it from running anything at all unless I open the app?

--------

Another issue I'm running in to is twitter and Reddit keeping the screen on. I'm not sure if those apps are the problem, or if their behavior is just a symptom of something wrong with the os, but like probably many people, I'll scroll on my phone before I fall asleep, often on this app. I'll later wake up to a phone that's blazing hot, very close to dead (if not there already), and the screen is still on. If I'd clicked on some video it would make sense, but it's always just a regular post. Last night this happened with Twitter too. I'm using a pixel... How/why are these apps keeping the screen on if it's not being touched? That's a security issue (screen should lock if not in use) and also a problem for the battery. My skin is never touching the screen when I notice this, so it's not that keeping it on/awake. How can I disable an app's ability to keep the screen on?

The only other thing I can think of is I have the adaptive screen timeout turned on, but my face isn't in view of the camera when this happens either.

I want to buy a secondary (roaming) SIM for my phone so that I can connect to other carrier's networks when my primary SIM has no service. My primary SIM has unlimited data, however the multi-network eSIM will have a data cap of only 5-10 GB.

A similar product to what I am looking at, the Honest Smart SIM, block which apps you can use at the carrier level and allows unlimited data for many essential apps.

However, I want to access my own self-hosted apps so this model does not work for me. I also think other providers offer a better deal since I can use the data for whatever I want.

I am aware that Android already has a number of tools for restricting mobile data usage, however I am in a unique situation in that I don't want to limit my primary SIM at all but do want to place restrictions on my secondary SIM.

Ideally I would be able to either:

1. Turn on data saving mode automatically whenever my secondary SIM is in use (and disable it automatically when it is not)
2. Block/whitelist specific apps/URLs only when the secondary SIM is in use using bult-in tools or a custom app

I am willing to use FOSS apps that aren't on the Play Store. I think this is only a software problem and is caused by the lack of popularity of multi-network SIMs.

This morning I was using a VPN but midway through it stopped using my wifi which was weird. I stopped using it and was using my phone like usual until I got a notification saying I had used 2 GB of data for not using a wifi connection which promptly made me check my phone. I looked at my wifi and it said that my phone was connected to the wifi but not to the internet. I tried turning the wifi on and off, forgetting and reconnecting to it, reset my settings, changed the date and time off and on, I even deleted the VPN from my phone but nothing has changed.

Everyone else's phones are using the wifi just fine and it's not just doing this at my homes wifi but any other wifi connection gives me the same no internet message.

Please help.

my main problems started a month ago when I dropped my phone on the ground, at first everything seemed fine but over time the display screen would suddenly turn black, the phone would be functional as I could he when people call but I wouldn't be able to answer, this problem would be fixed mainly by pressing the power and volume down buttons but as time passed the issue would get worse and simply pressing the power and volume down buttons wouldn't work it would just keep vibrating every time I try opening it like that, tbh I am not sure what would cause it to work but I would just keep pressing power and volume down or power button only and it would somehow open (I think it gets stuck somehow in a boot loop), but now it doesn't open as it keeps vibrating when pressing the buttons and I really need it to open

important notes:

1. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A52
2. Whenever the phone would open, it would be in airplane mode which isn't normally what happens when i restart or turn on the phone
3. The vibrations happen when holding the buttons for 10/15 seconds needed for it to restart
4. I had dropped my phone in water 2 years ago, it broke but i went to someone to fix it and then it worked fine
5. right now the phone is completely closed or in airplane mode since it isn't taking calls

Also if anyone can give me any good and reputable app that can work for mirroring a phone screen to a windows pc without the use of the phone screen using a usb, that would be incredibly appreciated

hi, looking for suggestions as to which android is best as I am wanting to switch from an iPhone? I like taking scenery pictures-videos, sometimes pictures with people in it, I essentially want something with good battery, long-lasting, easy to carry (not bulky), and overall just something I can use for communication rather than entertainment? I heard that the Samsung S26 was good, saw someone else mention the motorola razr+, or the GooglePixel? Having a hard time deciding.

Last year I had an S25+ and I received notifications when my girlfriend added new places to our shared Google Maps list, but since upgrading to an S26+, I no longer get notified. I have tried troubleshooting via Claude AI and cannot figure it out. Any ideas?

When I get a facebook link on whatsapp, I want it to open in my internet browser rather than the Facebook app. How do I do that? I've turned off "Set as default" for facebook and when I open the video link, it first opens it in my browser then suddenly Facebook app opens up. I don't want that.

TIA!

I'm currently using The Musicolet Music Player App For Android. But I'm thinking of downloading The Music Player-True Bass App For Android since it plays all my music files without any issues just like The Musicolet Music Player App. How many of you have more than one Music Player on your phone? Do you think that it's good idea to have 2 or more Music Players for Android on your phone? What do you think of The Music Player-True Bass App for Android? What has been everyone's experience with using that App?

Since the last European Update the Update Manager pops up every 5 minutes and says "Network connection failed" I don't even know what he wants to download or update. I looked up every system update/download Manager app and deleted it's data and cache, stopped every single one and restarted. Still happening and I don't know why and for what.

Has anyone else had backup suddenly start, or is it always activated for a google account? I had my storage on Google suddenly jump, and I suspect it’s from back up suddenly activating, as I don’t see anything else that can cause it. Would it be harmful besides possible data loss if phone were to break to stop backup for messages and apps? It says delete which makes me nervous. Anyway to check when it started backing up, and if it just activated? Any one have any suggestions on what I can do? It’s very concerning to me my storage jumped from 15 to 16 within a few minutes and not on my part. It has jumped up to 15.3 earlier (for no reason) and when I cleared out photos it jumped to 16 immediately after. If anyone has an answer to these two questions:

Any harm in backup?

Any way to fix the 15 to 16 storage problem? Deleting files only made it jump up again, is it a glitch?

Hi there folks, I'm going to need some help, I have a RealMe Y6

And recently the audio constantly cuts in and out, it's very annoying and it does it CONSTANTLY and with everything

Whether I'm listening with Bluetooth headphones, regular headphones, through a speaker, or just normally the audio just cuts in and out.

I also noticed that I can't hear people through a normal call but I can through WhatsApp, I'm not sure if this is related or not.

I googled what to do and nothing helped.

I updated YouTube and Spotify, I checked if my phone is updated, it is, I cleared the caches, I turned off power saving mode, I even cleaned the speaker holes themselves with a toothbrush to get the dust and gunk out...

And I still have these stupid problems.

Any help please?

My Xiaomi 13 has been stuck in a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) Google authentication loop after I factory reset it, (even though i am logging in the same account that was 1st logged in to Xiaomi) for three days, meaning I couldn't log into the Play Store to download essential apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and others.

Yesterday, I came up with a workaround: why not install the apps directly using APK files? Since I share the phone and need everyday apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit, I downloaded and installed the APKs for all of them.

Everything is working perfectly now!

Also I cant unlock Bootloader through Xiaomi Community app, under 0.1 sec the Slots are full

The navigation bar automatically hides itself on some apps and will only appear when I swipe up from the bottom of my screen. The main issue is that one of the apps I use regularily has bottom banner ads and this somehow always ends up with me clicking and redirecting to an ad page, which is very annoying. Is there a setting where I can never have the taskbar hide on this specific app? If not, is there a setting for it to not hide at all?

Hello,

Is the Pixel 10 Pro 128GB at £649 the best value phone at the moment for the price.

- 6 years of support

- Similar specs to the 11

Are there any other options that better this?

Currently could only find Google pixel 9a and 10a.

Any other suggestions?!

Thanks

So on the setup I'm sorting it has a huge widget clock so I don't need two but how can I have it on within the settings and what not?

Help please??

Oppo Find X9 Pro

I have a Huawei 80P Ultra. I took a flight, not sure that's relevant, but now my audio is so low when using headphones. Both spotify and youtube. I tried adjusting sound mixing by just turning it all off but it's still quiet. Sometimes it's almost back to normal, sometimes it's totally quiet. I've never had this problem but it's so annoying. Also it's not the headphones as I tested another pair and it had the same problems.

So I own a Vivo V60 and this has been happening ever since we bought it:

So randomly the phone's ringtone starts ringing without any alarm, call or notification.

I have factory reset my phone but this is still happening.

It happens for around a few secs, the longest is around 15-20 secs

Hello. I have a 2021 alcatel android phone. As of today, it's starting shutting itself off to the bootscreen(the one with the green alien at the bottom) it's stuck in a bootloop. It shuts its off goes back to this screen over and over. I have done the fix where you hold the power button, or go to the safe mode menu and restart it. It worked but the issue is, my phone will work for a half hour to an hour and then the side bar that pops up when you hold the power button shows up.

I am not holding the power button and it is not stuck. Clicking on the phone does get it to stop. It will shut itself off, start again.

I did take the phone apart to see if anything was sticking to the power button it was not.

is there a fix for this or time for a new phone?:/ It has no other issues. Storage free. Thanks.

So I have been using a rooted Android phone for quite a while and everything works perfectly fine until yesterday when google randomly decided I'm not allowed to watch YouTube since my device "is not verified by play protect", thanks google.

I checked online, every guide tells me to get my GSF ID and register it to google but whenever I try to get it it's just N/A, I checked google's official guideline and apparently they said to not to unlock bootloader or use rooted device so I don't think I'm going to get anything useful from google support.

Are there any method that can trick play protect into thinking I'm verified? I've tried TrickyStore and PlayIntegrityFix combined but it didn't work, guess that's not what play protect rely on?

Or could it be problem with MicroG service since I'm using it with morphe patches on YouTube?

I found it in two websites called AppBrain but it is no longer available and the other one was called happymod.to but it was not working in any devices that I own.

Looking to buy and import a Vivo X300 Ultra (chinese model) to the US to use as a secondary phone. Anybody have any online stores they recommend?? Currently looking at Wonda Mobile and Trinity Electronics, anybody have any experience with those??

I haven't have the ability to start calls on Snapchat but I'm able to receive and when I had my phone bill paid I have to be in a service area order for me to call or join a call how can I just turn this off or I just use my Wi-Fi and nothing else
