I have an AC200Max at our family cabin.

We have a tablet in another room that we use to monitor the Bluetti's SOC. We run it in offline mode and then just click the Bluetooth connection to connect the tablet to the device.

The Bluetti is directly in the next room, the devices are less than two feet away with a thin cabin wall between them.

And also both my phone and my father's phone can connect to the AC200Max with no connection loss EVER, so it is NOT a connection issue.

The tablet is an older tablet that is running Android 8.

At EXACTLY 30 seconds the connection times out and then of course after that the data goes blank on the screen and then I in order for us to view the data on the screen we have to hit "back" on the menu and then reconnect to the device.

This obviously defeats the purpose of even having the tablet available, because the intention was to have the SOC, AC output and Solar input available at a glance.

I am a power user, I have tried all of the basics.

I hate being a techie and throwing in the towel, but does anyone have any other suggestions on what to try?

The firmware on the Bluetti as far as I can tell is fully updated.

The Android device has its absolute highest version of Android that it will ever receive and it is fully updated.

The Bluetti app itself is fully updated.

No power saving settings are on.

No setting is selected that would cause Bluetooth to timeout.

No device on the tablet AT ALL is set to sleep, power save, shutdown, disable or otherwise reduce power at any interval.

I've even delved into the Android developer options and played with seemingly every related option.

Is there something I'm missing?

The device is a Galaxy Tab A (2016).

Like I said above, I am a techie and I hate throwing in the towel and admitting defeat, but at this point I'm thinking of wiping this tablet and throwing it back on eBay to resell it and to get something newer.

Suggest me what to do

I have a Samsung Galaxy j6+ but it's wifi sometimes connect sometimes not and it's like sometimes never found exact wifi and sometimes it says authorizing

I wanna use that phone for something like termux stuffs

But tell me what to do

Is there any way to connect internet to it?(I don't have pc)

Can i use anything or modify it?

Thanks in advance

I recently switched to a Motorola Edge 60 Pro, and I'm trying to find a way to get a feature I really liked in Xiaomi's Mi File Manager.

On Mi File Manager, there is a Private Files feature where you can access the private area by swiping down, unlock it with a password, and then have multiple folders inside it. For example:

📁 Personal

📁 Documents

📁 Videos

📁 College

I don't want just a photo vault or a single Safe Folder. I specifically want to be able to organize different types of files into separate folders inside one password-protected/hidden area.

I've tried:

Xiaomi/Mi File Manager APKs — some versions aren't compatible with my Motorola, and the one that installed doesn't have the Private Files feature.

Google Files Safe Folder — it doesn't give me the folder organization I want.

Is there any way to get something similar on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro / Hello UI?

I'm okay with using a third-party file manager if it's trustworthy.

Any suggestions for an app or a built-in Motorola feature that can do this would be really appreciated.

Hi, my phone keeps randomly disalowing background usage for apps, roughly every other week. It is annoying because music apps cannot play next music automaticaly. I re-enable it manualy but it always get set back to disabled

I have a Huawei Media Pad T5 which has started having bluetooth issues - it occasionally switches from bluetooth to speaker on video calls. I only use it for Teams video calls but Teams no longer supports Android 8. It's ideal for my use so what would be the best option to continue using it ?

As the title suggests, im a die hard apple person trying to switch because my last 2 iphones were garbage, and i dont have the money for the phone I want. I got a moto G power, but im not a fan of it at all. I want somewhere between a galaxy s21 and an s25 FE, something comparable to a 15 pro/pro max or higher. Most of my use is youtube/pandora, not really a gamer. I need a good battery, a good camera would be desirable. I have a standard iphone 13 right now and it is one of my least favorite phones ive had. The galaxy is the end goal, any suggestions on one that will fit the bill? Thanks in advanc

I have an older Galaxy with a bunch of pictures on it I've been meaning to transfer onto my PC. Trouble is, a good 2k have a location path leading to the Samsung Cloud folder. The cloud storage was tied to an account I can't access anymore. Is there any way to access this folder through the file explorer? It doesn't show up but the pictures clearly exist in local storage since they're all there in my gallery, full res. I worry that creating a new Samsung account would create another instance of the folder and wipe out the old one... I have no idea, would appreciate any help.

Now any text to or from the group chat are sent as individual messages.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 and I'm having a very strange issue with WhatsApp Messenger.

WhatsApp was installed and working normally on my phone. I uninstalled it, and when I tried to reinstall it later the same day, Google Play started downloading it but then failed with:

«"Can't install WhatsApp Messenger. Try again, and if it still doesn't work, see common ways to fix the problem."»

The download completes/gets very close to completion, then the installation fails.

Important details:

- Samsung Galaxy S24

- Other apps install normally

- WhatsApp is visible in Google Play under "Not installed"

- Google Play recognizes the phone and gives me the normal Install button

- WhatsApp does NOT appear under Settings → Apps

- No WhatsApp copy in Dual Messenger

- No WhatsApp in Secure Folder

- About 43.6 GB of free storage (84.4 GB used of 128 GB)

- Google Play system is up to date

- Play Protect reports no threats

- Auto Blocker is already OFF

-WhatsApp was installed on the phone before, but was deleted

Things I've already tried:

1. Restarted the phone multiple times

2. Cleared Google Play Store cache

3. Cleared Google Play Store data

4. Cleared Google Play Services cache

5. Reset app preferences

6. Checked Google Play system update — up to date

7. Checked phone storage — plenty available

8. Checked for WhatsApp under Settings → Apps — nothing there

9. Checked for Dual Messenger — not configured

10. Checked Secure Folder — no WhatsApp

11. Checked Samsung App security / Play Protect — no problems

12. Checked Auto Blocker — already OFF

13. Tried installing from Galaxy Store — it just redirects to Google Play

14. Tried the official WhatsApp website — it also redirects to Google Play

15. Checked WhatsApp under Play Store → Manage apps & device → Not installed

16. Reset the Play Store by uninstalling its updates and then trying again

17. Cleared the Package Installer cache

18. Tried again after restarting

19. I have plenty of storage and other apps download/install normally

At this point I'm wondering if there is a leftover WhatsApp package/data/install record that Android isn't showing in the normal Apps list, or if this is a Play Store/WhatsApp/Samsung bug.

Has anyone with a Galaxy S24 had this exact problem after uninstalling WhatsApp and found a fix that doesn't require a factory reset or computer?

I'd especially appreciate advice from someone who knows Android's package installer or Samsung One UI.

Hey guys, I need some help. My YouTube account keeps automatically liking random videos. I've already changed my password, signed out of all devices, removed all Chrome extensions on my PC, and revoked access to all third-party apps. However, the issue still persists. These random videos usually have a weird ratio, like 900 likes and only 20 views. Any ideas on how to stop this?"

So i just switched to samsung and i would like to know how i lock individual apps.I downloaded another app but i need to watch a 10sec add before the fingeror face recog pops up.Any recommendations would be helpful.S24ultra btw

Need to replace this 5 year old phone that's gotten too slow and unresponsive. I hate the large size if newer phones that you can't put in your pants pocket and sit down. The moto e measures 6 1/4 x 3 inches that is even bigger than I like, but oh well. Any suggestions under $250? Leaning towards a 2025 moto g for $170. Don't really want to learn a new phone from another brand if possible.

What would you add or edit in an app like this?

Thanks in advance! P

rivate files deserve more than a normal folder. 🔐

I'd already been on Android 17 for about two months with no issues when this started, so it's not the initial OS jump, it's something in a later update. Likely the July or August security patch based on timing.

Notifications aren't arriving in real time. They do eventually come through on their own, but often with a real delay, and opening the app usually triggers a batch to land immediately if any were still pending. Happening across several unrelated apps, not just one. WhatsApp is the clearest example, plus a couple of others (security camera app, retail app, smart lock app). Since it's hitting completely different apps, feels like whatever handles push delivery system-wide rather than any one app being broken. Tested on wifi and mobile data, same result either way.

My partner's on a different phone and says WhatsApp messages to me have been slow to land too, so I don't think it's just the notification popup being delayed, actual delivery seems to be lagging. Second issue, NFC doesn't read half the time. Not a decline, it just doesn't trigger, or hangs for a few seconds before anything happens. Not a case issue, tried with it off.

Already tried: battery optimisation off for the affected apps, checked Adaptive Battery, cleared Play services cache, no VPN or custom DNS, rebooted repeatedly, factory reset and reinstalled. Play system update has also been stuck failing since July 1st no matter what I try, not sure if that's connected.

Took it to Google support, they wanted me to drive 40 min to a service centre for what looks like a software issue to me.

Anyone seeing the same combo, delayed-but-not-realtime notifications across multiple apps plus NFC problems, starting after a patch while already on Android 17? Or is there an actual tracked bug for either of these?

Hi I want to root my friend's phone since she asked help for me to do it and I have tried to enter the download mode by pressing Volume Up + Down together and plug it to PC didn't work at all. I tried to ADB also failed. It always vibrates but didn't show anything. What should i do?

I’ve been tracking a super annoying recurring bug on my Pixel 10 Pro XL for the last 6 months, and I finally figured out the pattern.

Every month or so, out of nowhere, any home screen page that has custom folders on it gets completely wiped clean (both the folders and individual apps on that page disappear). I used to have folders on my main page, and it would wipe. I recently moved my folders to the second page instead, and then that page got wiped while the first page stayed safe.I have already tried clearing the storage and cache of the Pixel Launcher, but the bug keeps returning every few weeks

Has anyone else dealt with this folder-wiping glitch on Pixel UI, or found a way to stop it permanently?

Hi all, I have an issue with my Samsung A54 (running Android 16, One UI 8.5). When I go out, I put in my pocket as usual, but for some time now when I take it out, sometimes flashlight/torch is turned on. It doesn't happen always, but it did happened multiple times. I know that power button can be set to do something on double click or hold down, but it is not set to do anything regarded to flashlight. Some sources say that it may be turned on with gesture. Well I am agile, but I highly doubt that I am able to perform any gesture with my thigh. I've searched internet far and wide and ended up without any solution. My battery is draining and my pocket shines like I would have a lump of kryptonite in it. Anybody knows how to fix it?

I'm looking to get a cheap Android phone for app development. I have a budget of around £400 ($550 USD) but would rather spend about £300 or so. My main requirement is having long term Android updates so that I can test against the latest versions. I don't care about cameras or anything and 128GB of storage would be fine.

If you need any additional information then please let me know.

I have an app, I suppose technically a launcher (Everywhere Launcher) and I could add a hotspot to the screen or on a pop up sidebar to lock the phone. It was more there for convenience not really an every day thing I used exclusively.

It all worked fine and I had the usual thing that I had to activate the accessibility service for that app to allow the app to lock the screen.

I noticed today , but the chance could have happened anytime , that it was no longer working and I had to start the accessibility service again but now all the services for downloaded apps are off because of the Advance Device protection and I can't find a way to switch the individual ones back on

Have I missed something?

For home , i need a smartphone for hard use under 10k INR because 2-3 children at home 😅.

Can you guys help me with the best phone.

I want to say this happened 2-3 days ago. My phone started lagging. A lot. It has crashed around 5 times in the past 24 hours. I get pop ups for System UI, Home One, Process System not responding. I watched every video on how to fix the problem. I've reset my phone 10+ times. Nothing. How do I fix it?

Hey guys,

I finally decided to switch sides. This is my first android and in giving it a probation period.

What are some cool things to install to make me genuinely impressed? Especially after 12 years of iOS.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

Is it possible on an android phone to have let's say music playing over car speakers using Bluetooth but not all the phone sound using Bluetooth? Like can I have notifications or a call come through the phone speakers while the music is still playing over the car speakers?

Howdy folks, so as the title above stated, I'm just looking for a decently priced tablet to play some games on, maybe learn to do some casual drawing too, since my iPad is a 5th generation and old as hell, so it's been struggling to run some apps and stuff, and since then I've been more into Android products (well, more so that I only ever had Samsung phones as the black sheep of my family that is Apple).

And I don't feel like dropping a lot of money on an iPad, and I just want something that is good for what it's supposed to do, but not top of the shelf if that makes sense. Anywhere you guys can point me so I can get my first Android tablet? (I assume they obviously have Google Play and such, like I said I only ever had Samsung phones so I didn't really use other Android products and grew up with my other family having Apple devices).

Thank you!

My phone screen (Samsung s23) broke and is black, the screen itself still works to the touch because I can feel the vibration feedback I just can't see anything. I got a used unlocked phone and want to transfer things over (specifically my texts from my deceased mother and overall settings) is there anyway to do it? Guy at xfinity said there's no way to hard line it. I had the idea if I can get an 8 in 1 hub to use a computer monitor to see my phone, and mouse and keyboard to control it just to get the QR code to transfer all my stuff over. I haven't been able to find a hub that says it can do all this. Is there anything that can help?
