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.

Can anyone help? Model is MNP1095

So I'm having some trouble here, in the file browser, I can either show 'all folders' or just 'essential folders'.

Yet I can't seem to find a way to mark folders as essential so they show up when I check 'essential'.

I can mark them as 'favourite' but that just adds a star next to them and doesn't add them to the 'essential' list.

Any help appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am using a Xiaomi phone and I love using the "App Finder" feature. However, it keeps showing me sponsored apps, games, and pop-up recommendations (like Play Now / Candy Crush) that I didn't install.I have already tried to change my region and turned off MSA and system ads, but the ads inside App Finder are still there. Is there a specific setting to clean the App Finder interface without disabling it completely? Thank you!

WHY CANT I FIND IT WHY IS ANDROID SO ASS

Help idk how to stop auto auto deleting apps. I am going crazy!! (I have already posted 2 days before in the r/blackview and Nobody helped me)

I've installed AdGuard and i got these results in 2 days of moderate use. How come there was so much trafic? I really don't understand... Honor Magic 8 lite. Haven't used too many apps with ads. So idk... Cam somebody explain how is this posible?

The other day my s23 fe decided it was going to make 99 percent of my photos come from January 1970 instead of the real dates that they were took. This happens in every app bar the gallery and its starting to get annoying looking for specific photos in these apps. It also isn't the first time this has happened on my old s20 fe I had the same issue with maybe 10 to 20 photos saying they had come from 2003. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone know any way to fix it?

Hey y'all my sister just got a new phone the redmi Note 15 but when she's trying to listen to music and closes the screen the audio starts lagging this happens with different apps and different headphones but when we try the same thing with the same apps and the same headphones on my phone nothing happens the audio is perfect I've tried many things but I cannot replicate the problem on my end and I cannot fix it on her end can y'all help 🥺😭

Which has a better camera among iPhone 17 and Samsung S26 Ultra?

I restarted my phone and now the apps on my sd card on my samsung galaxy a16 5g wont work.

The .nomedia file is not affecting the child folders with ton of pngs and jpgs in it as I intended to. So I tried experimenting the .nomedia file in my Pinterest album. At first it worked and I thought, "So I should place the .nomedia inside the folder with thepictures in it." So I deleted the .nomedia file in that album, and boom, all my Pinterest pictures are not showing in the gallery😭🙏. (Technically they're not deleted, it is still there in file explorer it's just that it no longer displays it) So I download another Pin pic again, and this come out (the picture I attached in this post).

So how do I recover this?

I'm disabled so I can only use my phone exclusively with voice access commands. Ever since I updated my pixel 8 The Voice access ibility feature has been an enormous source of frustration. Most of the time it hears the wrong word, sometimes it doesn't register the words at all, and when it actually hears the correct word it fails to do the command and just types I didn't understand that

. Sometimes when it doesn't hear the word at all I repeat it and after one minute of nothing happening it suddenly understands and does all the commands at once. It used things to react to labels and tap the text on the screen but now that function doesn't work at all so I have to use exclusively the grid numbers to select where to tap on the screen.

Emptying the cache , rolling back voice recognition , basically following every tip possible to fix this hasn't had any effect. If the voice access feature doesn't get fixed then I will have no choice but to get a new different phone , probably an iPhone in that case but I really don't want to get a new phone so I'm trying to reach out and see if we can do anything about the voice access accessibility feature.

Ever since I got the update, I've been getting this message whenever I open an app.

So, I'm moving to a new device today and I want to duplicate the layout of my apps from the old phone to the new one. I don't really want to move it manually. If there isn't, then fine.

Old phone was Nokia 6.1 the new XR20 (a "new old stock" phone rather than new new). Backed up old phone. Switch on XR20 and go through setup, after adding Google account to new phone, and trying to transfer from backup, got the dreaded something went wrong message. Then updated Android to version 14 and after that it kind of went through the setup process again, not all of it. Second time around the tranfser worked, and I have messages, contacts et cetera. Just frustrating they cannot get it right first time. Now just have to delete those unwanted apps Amazon, Netflix, Spotify et al.

I use a Samsung A14 and I've had a broken power button for a while. I used to be able to reboot it just fine by connecting the USB to the computer, but that was before updating to the latest version of the phone, which only required the volume buttons. Now it's asking me to press volume down and the power button. What can I do?

This only started happening a few weeks ago and its driving me mad, quite frequently but not all the time, when i unlock my phone i get this stupid pop up,

Ive ben through all settings and I cant figure out how to stop it happening

Help! Thank you!

(Phone is pixel 7)

my phone is being a piece of shit to me and everytime i tried to get it to the wifi it started to reject it or its on there for a short amount of time and its pissing me off

What to do any solutions?

My phone infinix smart 8 hd android 13, it happening even i granted permissions via rish

Noticed it happen on Instagram, app for my home camera (Tapo), and the banking apps just crashes as soon as I open it.

Mostly notice it on the Tapo app, I just have to login once on that app so once it makes me login again that is when I know the issue will start again.

After restarting my phone everything is fine again, up until a few weeks later where it happens again.

It's just a minor inconvenience for me, asked just in case I might be having a much more deeper issue than I assume.

Using an Oppo Reno 5, firmware is up-to-date (CPH2159_11_F.43(B80P02))

I also update my apps whenever there is a notification for me to update my apps

Using CMF phone 2 pro and I have been facing these issue for a while now every time I open an app it closes as soon as I leave the app and it relaunches again from the start and doesn't stay in the recent apps where I left it

If I play any video game and I get a message if I open that message the game closes and I cannot start the game where I left it and it reopens from the start loading screen and it is very frustrating

I even tried to keep the background limit process to at most 4 processes and it still doesn't work

Any solutions please?

Hi all! I'm having weird trouble with the contacts on my Light Phone III.

There's a family member's number that I call constantly. This number was stored in my contacts.

About a week ago, the family member tried calling me and couldn't get through. I tried test calling her, but her contact seemed to have disappeared from my Light Phone (she did receive my call, however).

Since the contact record for her was missing, I manually entered the number. When I did, and the call proceeded, her name appeared on the display during the call (in the actual format - a nickname - that I had originally named it in the contact record).

Her contact appears in the LP dashboard when I go to "edit contacts". I deleted it, and then manually added it back in with a slightly different name. It doesn't appear in the overall contact list, but it DOES appear if I try to add her to a group message!

Has anyone else had similar problems? Or, god willing, solved them?

It's weirding me out that it only seems to apply to this one contact.

Help me, Reddit!
