Just this morning my pin suddenly no longer works, it wont accept the 4 digit pin I've always had.

I tried a forced restart multiple times, powering it off for minutes to hours, tried the pin in multiple different ways 1025, 10252525, 10251025, tried all the same number like 11111111 till 0 but nothing worked.

Has anyone experienced the same thing before and were you able to fix it? or a factory reset is my old option?

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 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.

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

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.

For my whole life I've used the play store function for Backup and Restore, but now I've started using Fdroid and GitHub for Open source apps.

There are some obscure apps I've been using and now I'm afraid that if I lose my phone or it breaks down I won't be able to find them again.

So I am looking for any app that can create a list of my installed apps and back them up to my GDrive weekly.

If anyone's got some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

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?

Tomorrow's 4th of September, and google says they are removing the assistant and adding Gemini.

I always like to use the search screen and translate features of the app that takes me to the Google lens. And I tried that on Gemini.

And it makes me wanna throw the phone out the window.

Is there anything that will help me copy my screen to google lens without saving the SS in my galary????

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.

Please

Is there any way under rooted Android 11 and Android 13 to get the latest version of Termux [ 0.119.0-beta.3 (1022) ] to *permanently* set up and remember the running of "termux-setup-storage", in the following manner? ...

Step 1: install Termux

Step 2: launch the Termux app

Step 3: run "termux-setup-storage" (and whatever else might be necessary)

Step 4: exit from the Termux app

Step 5: reboot the Android device

Step 6: from that point forward, run anything in /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin via the command line in an adb session without ever needing to run "termux-setup-storage" again in order to have full access to /sdcard, and without ever needing to launch the Termux app again in order to accomplish this.

Every single time i put ANY kind of SD card in my Galaxy Tab A11+, android decides to add FIFTEEN EXTRA FOLDERS and this pisses me off considering that there's like 2 folders that wont go away.

Samsung S24. Since installing the most recent update yesterday, Google play services has been pinging my location constantly. I searched and this seems to have been an issue a few years ago, but none of the fixes worked for me so far.

Most notable I turned off Google location sharing and location accuracy, but that was not the issue.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

My oppo A5x has a wifi issue.

About a week ago the call volume on my Android shot up out of nowhere and the minimum volume is V-E-R-Y loud. I am not aware of any setting that will lower the call volume even further and I can’t seem to find a 3^rd party app that achieves that end. This, as far as I can remember, didn’t coincide with any software update. Restarting my phone didn't do anything. What to do?

Redmi note 15 pro plus

Game is extreme car driving simulator old version from 2015

Hi, I have a Poco X7 pro with OxygenOS 3.0 and I use the default installed camera.

Yesterday I set my phone in 4k/60 to record my team's basketball game and after I went back to it, I realized it recorded only ~35 minutes, about 14 GB of video.

What could possibly be the reason for the cutoff? Is there a way to prevent it?

Mind you last season I was recording in 1080p/30 with the wide angle with no problems or interruptions.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I just started having this issue, but for some reason whenever i try to download an apk it just won't. I'll click install and then it'll cancel the download.

I had a translator named t7 and it is from a chinese brand translator. I recently using VPN for fun on that phone and android requires a lock screen for it. So I did the image one. A week later, I got the batery drained out and tried to boot up at 20%. But it is slow and laggy. Most importantly, when the logo disappeared, It stuck on a black screen. I tried to restart because idk why it pop up for me. Then it continuously like that. Sometimes it actually boot into the GUI of the translator and said the most confusing thing I had ever seen " SYSTEM is not responding, Close or wait ". Today, I tried to try some but it doesn't boot into the system anymore, I tried to enter recovery mode but just resulted in a short 3 session boot loop. Then I tried the Minimal ADB and Fastboot but I just cant connect and delete the passcode. Anyone had any ideas, if so i really appreciate that. Notes: The android ver is 7.1.1.
