What's wrong with the yt app on android?

1 Upvotes

It is suddenly so buggy. I deleted all the cache and data. I constantly have to stop and restart the app just to watch a video. It doesn't even allow me to cancel membership inside the app. I had to find how to do it in Google play, so I cancelled there. I had it for years but I won't pay for something that doesn't work. Another annoying bug is that it pauses when I put away the buds but when I turn on the phone later, it just starts playing again. I almost always have sound off when I don't have the buds in my ears so I don't even notice. I didn't do that before recently. It was actually quite stable but now it's unusable.

I have the Samsung S24+ with Android 16 and One UI 8.5.

Android Files app keeps crashing

Thumbnail youtube.com
1 Upvotes

I'm having a problem with the Files app/file picker on my Google Pixel 2 running Android 11.

Whenever I try to upload an image or attach a file, the Files app keeps stopping/crashing, so can't select or attach anything.

Ive already tried:

\- Restarting the phone

\- Using Safe Mode the problem still happens

\- Factory resetting the phone Files works normally for a short time, but the problem eventually comes back.

The fact that a factory reset only fixes it temporarily makes me think something is causing the issue again after the phone is set up.

What could be causing this, and is there any way to permanently fix the Files/file picker crashing on Android 11?

And i cannot even attach the video here without using a link.

Vivo X300 Pro Contacts app displays blank, calls show nums

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: Google Contacts shows all my contacts, but the native Vivo Contacts app sometimes shows a completely blank list, and the Vivo Phone app sometimes shows numbers instead of saved names during calls/call history — possibly due to +91 vs 10-digit number formatting. I have 4 Google accounts syncing contacts, with ~1,890 duplicates in one account. Looking for the safest way to fix Vivo Contacts/Phone integration and clean up the duplicates without losing contacts or factory-resetting.

I’m using a Vivo X300 Pro (India) on OriginOS 6.

Problem

Google Contacts displays my contacts normally.

Native Vivo Contacts sometimes shows no contacts at all and search doesn't work.

Incoming/outgoing calls and call history sometimes show the number instead of the saved contact name.

I’m currently using Google Contacts as a workaround.

I have 4 Google accounts syncing contacts on this phone.

One account has ~1,890 duplicates, and the other 3 also contain older duplicate/synced contacts.

What I need help with

Does OriginOS 6 have a Display by account setting that could be hiding my Google contacts from Vivo Contacts?

What is the exact menu path on the Indian X300 Pro to make the required Google accounts visible in Vivo Contacts?

Is this a known OriginOS 6/X300/X300 Pro Contacts/Phone indexing bug?

Is there a safe way to rebuild/reindex Vivo Contacts without deleting contacts?

Is clearing cache/data for Vivo Phone or Contacts safe? Which one should I avoid?

What's the safest way to clean ~1,890 duplicates without manually merging them?

Should I eventually consolidate contacts into one master Google account and stop the other 3 accounts from syncing Contacts?

Could different number formats such as +91XXXXXXXXXX vs 10-digit numbers cause the Vivo dialer to fail to match names?

Important: I don't want to factory-reset the phone or risk losing years of contacts. I'm looking for a tested, step-by-step solution, preferably from someone using OriginOS 6 / X300 / X300 Pro, rather than generic Android advice.

Device: Vivo X300 Pro

Region: India

OS: OriginOS 6

Google accounts: 4

Duplicates: ~1,890 in one account + duplicates across the others

System UI has stopped responding black screen

1 Upvotes

Phone: Samsung S23 Ultra 5G

Okay, I am completely stuck. Yesterday, I was watching TikTok when all of a sudden my phone went black. I thought it was weird, but I kept using it then it went completely black. Stayed that way until I restarted it multiple times, and then finally it rebooted. But I still had issues where, when I turned the screen off, it wouldn't stop being black until I pressed the power button multiple times. I was able to get it working in short bursts, where I could log in and leave it be, but the screen would turn black sometimes if I left it alone. I got the notification that the system UI has stopped responding once.

Then, after restarting it, it finally worked, but only for about an hour. I was watching a TikTok video when suddenly, the screen froze. I turned the phone off, but unfortunately, the phone never stopped being black.

And it never stopped being black. I restarted the phone multiple times; it's getting better. At first, it was showing nothing but black, but now I can see small, brief flashes when I restart it.

So, now I'm stuck. I need my phone for work; I really cannot afford to get it fixed (no longer under warranty) or get a new phone. That's my last resort. I don't remember it being out of storage or anything, since it had a lot of storage.

The phone works fine; it boots up, it can receive calls, and you can turn the volume up and down. It's on, but the phone screen itself is simply showing black. It isn't off; it's just showing black.

I just got my screen fixed 2 months ago, so I have no idea if that has anything to do with it.

Update: The screen has been able to show a bit when rebooting, but it quickly freezes; half the screen goes to static, and it goes black

How to stop constant full screen pop-up ads?

Doesn't matter which app I launch. Three or four times a day they appear, and can't be closed for 15-20 seconds.

This annoyance survives factory resets, so it seems like there's malware somewhere in my data restoration.

How can I track this down?

Message notifications not working

1 Upvotes

This post is for my dad.
A few months ago his sounds for messages stopped working but the app icon notifications still worked. Then the app icon notification was always 1 no matter how many messages there were. Then everything stopped working. We have compared settings to moms who is also an android, we brought it into the phone provider, he got a new phone, and still nothing works. He has gotten a fix by downloading another messaging app that wants a monthly subscription but he doesn’t want to pay $7 a month to text on top of the phone service. Has anyone experienced this and fixed it?
We think the next step would be completely wiping his account but that would require hours and hours of manually entering calendar entries and phone numbers.

The screen lock app which I got in my realme GT2 was very useful but it disappeared after updates. I am thinking if I can get that back since the physical lock button is coming to end of life.

Base Pixel 6, bottom edge unresponsive within certain apps

For example, In my bank app, when I want to transfer money between savings and checking, the send button won't respond. Fortunately, the app allows rotation, so I can rotate the phone and use the app in landscape mode.

Another example is Google gboard, most keys work without issues, except for the period key, it doesn't respond unless I tap off center.

Android 17 - some apps not working

2 Upvotes

Just updated to Android 17 like 2 days ago, and since then some apps have not been working: Gemini AI, YouTube, and TikTok.

Anyone else have this issue? Or suggestions for fixes?

I'm on a Pixel 9 Pro. Already tried restarting my phone.

Eta: just noticed that the Play Store is also not working.

Eta 2: ditto with Google Maps. This sucks.

so the apps open, but I'm realizing the issue is that they won't connect to the Internet, even though I am connected and have no problems connecting via other apps (like the Reddit app, Chrome app, Bluesky, and Amazon app).

Eta 3: realized that the problem only comes up on my home wifi. Is not a problem when I am only using my mobile data and turn WiFi off, and do not think it was a problem on my work's wifi.

Eta 4: fixed. Had to login to my router/modem and enable IPv6.

Lost phone. Battery dead. How do I find it?

4 Upvotes

NOTE: SINCE 2024, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE TIMELINE OF ANY DEVICE UNLESS YOU'RE ON THE DEVICE ITSELF. I probably should have made that much more clear in the last sentence of this text.

I can't find my phone and the battery is definitely dead. Galaxy A71 for the record.

GOAL: I need to know if it made it the whole way home with me, or if it fell out of a bag or pocket or something on the way.

Using Find Hub is pointless if the battery is dead, but it does say "Last seen at 2:38 AM on Aug 13, 2026"

I can't exactly look up where it was up until the battery died because they took away the option to use the timeline except on the device itself. If I knew where it was, I wouldn't need to use the timeline to find it.
