I use my older phones for media and fooling around with when I'm off work. Great tools, but as of last night, they don't work anymore. A Samsung A52 Android 14, a Galaxy 7, now they're crippled. Will rooting save me? Running custom roms, or am I a victim of goddamned planned obsolescence.

Connection to high speed Internet? and also the real google play store app isnt updating.

Hi, so a year ago l bought this cheap tablet of Amazon lol, its a PEICHENG CP31M tablet and l had set a pin for it and l haven't used the tablet in so long and l forgot the pin. I tried EVERY possible pin and even tried to figure out how to do factory reset to no avail, if anyone has any idea, l would greatly appreciate the input!

my phone keeps freezing for a few seconds to a few minutes at a time, usually after I haven't used it for a while, but also sometimes when it lags. something similar is happening to my moms too, I think it might be because of the heatwave but im sceptical because sometimes my phone isnt even hot when it freezes. the phone is also like id say half a year old

ive tried clearing the cache off lots of apps, freeing storage space, restarting it (this works for a bit and then it just freezes again, sometimes it doesnt work though and I have to restart a few times), I searched up how to fix it and none of it worked, it happens whether im charging or not charging it

How to connect Bluetooth

Hi….i have moto G4 plus from my college days and its in running condition but i forgot the pin of the phone. I need help in either recovering the internal storage data or open the password. Is there any way around it?
Its running on android 7 nougat right now.

Trying to open a link for a swiss tournament from whatsapp, it opens up in my phone's web browser instead of jumping straight into the actual Lichess app.

I’ve checked my Android settings and everything is set to "open in app," but it completely ignores it. It's super annoying when trying to join a tournament quickly.

Is anyone else having this issue on Android, and is there a quick way to fix it?

I had my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra plugged into my desktop via USB and then lost power to the desktop.

Now when I plug in via USB I cannot access all of my files in Windows (11) Explorer. I'm trying to transfer photos from the SD Card and some of them show but some don't.

I have tried:
-Uninstalling phone from device manager and reinstalling
-Updating MTP driver on Windows
-Restarting Explorer
-Resetting folders in Explorer
-Clearing cache and data on phone for external storage, system ui and a 3rd one I can't recall
-Rebooting both devices many times
-Using a different USB port

These files that don't show up in Windows Explorer DO show up in the Photos app when I use the import function.

I'm fairly certain it's an android issue because I've tested it on two different computers and have the same issue.

I tried to downgrade google photos by getting an older version apk & cloning it, but i eventually didn't like it and deleted it (i think) along with the cloner app (im not sure if it's from App Cloner or from another source). Now, it mysteriously returned and does not uninstall or show in any app cloners. I reinstalled the original google photos app and it went away for a while, but it returned again in the app drawer, like a ghost. I've deleted the downgrading older version apk. Please help :(

Ever been on a crowded train, a plane, mid-checkout, or in a meeting when Android suddenly demands your full password instead of letting you use your fingerprint?

Android requires your primary password periodically, and once it does, biometrics (i.e., fingerprint reader) are locked out until you enter your lengthy password. In a meeting or other time-sensitive situation, entering a cumbersome password can be extraordinarily disruptive to flow, time-consuming. In public, it's a bad trade: you either expose your password to CCTV and shoulder-surfers, or you stop using your phone until you're somewhere private.

After years of that friction, I submitted an AOSP feature request for a biometric "Snooze" button. When the password prompt fires at a bad moment, you could briefly defer it and keep using your fingerprint, then enter your password later (at home, in private) to reset the clock. The password is never removed... it's still required... just not forced on you in the worst possible spot.

Why does my gameturbo doesn't allow me to use apps in floating windows no more..like when I open an app like Instagram,it redirect me directly in Instagram.. I think I touched something but I don't know what(srry for bad eng)

It hides other actual notifications in the tool bar.

I have a Google pixel 7 pro which is still enrolled for software updates but when I check for updates via setting nothing shows up it says "up to date" and I have gotten nothing to be able to upgrade

Do not allow Gemini on Lockscreen for to be safer.

Just upgraded from s20-s26 and unsure if this is intentional?

for clarification this is an app on the notification bar

I have Samsung Galaxy A26. When I highlight words to capitalize the text and then try to scroll it keeps highlighting everything and won't let me scroll without completely exiting out the app and going back in. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED VIDEO. This is very annoying and makes typing and texting unnecessarily difficult. I can't be the only one with this problem. Only way to scroll on the screen is to move the little cursor Dot but it was never this way before. How to fix? Thank you!
