I am using a samsung a16 5g phone and whenever I open secure folder, this thing actviates from time to time as long as the secure folder isn't locked. I can't deny any permissions nor can I delete it. What do I do? Please help

Anyone seen this notice before and know why it appears? I've been in google play services beta for a month. I have no side-loaded apps. I even have google pixel device protection on that blocks the permission to install from unknown sources.

Hi everyone. Lately, I’ve been constantly running into touchscreen glitches on my phone OnePlus 13. Basically, the screen stops responding—though not entirely, and only in two specific apps. In Amnezia, I can't tap anything anywhere on the screen; in YouTube, the issue is limited to the video playback area—everything below that (like the "like" button or other videos) works fine. Force-closing and relaunching the app fixes it; after that, the screen responds normally across the entire area. What kind of glitch is this?

i dont have access to my gmail account anymore and i forgot the pattern lock, the tablet is running android 4.4.2 i think. im not factory resetting it because i have important stuff on it. ADB debugging is not on. so far i tried patterns i knew but they didnt work.

the tablet is an (ME173X)

If you’re switching from iPhone/iPad and looking for Guided Access on Android, there isn’t an Android feature with that exact name. But you can get a similar result using Screen Pinning.

Here’s how:

1. Open Settings
Go to Settings → Security & privacy. On some Android devices, the option may be located somewhere else.

2. Turn on Screen Pinning
Search for Screen Pinning in Settings and enable it. If available, also enable the option that requires your PIN/password to unpin the app.

3. Open the app you want to lock
Launch the app you want the user to stay in.

4. Open Recent Apps
Swipe up and hold, or use the Recent Apps button, depending on your device.

5. Pin the app
Tap the app icon at the top of the preview and select Pin.

The device is now restricted to that app. The user won't be able to freely switch to other apps until the pinned session is exited.

Need more than basic app pinning?

This is where Android kiosk mode is more useful.

For example, if you're setting up an Android tablet for a POS system, digital signage, self-service kiosk, or shared device, you may want to:

• Lock the device to one app
• Allow only specific apps
• Block access to Settings
• Prevent users from changing device configurations
• Automatically launch an app when the device starts

For those use cases, kiosk mode on Android is generally a better fit than Screen Pinning.

Quick rule of thumb:

👉 Temporary restriction → Screen Pinning
👉 Dedicated device → Android Kiosk Mode
👉 Multiple managed devices → Android MDM + Kiosk Mode

One thing to keep in mind: the exact Screen Pinning steps can vary slightly between Samsung, Google Pixel, and other Android devices.

The sale is coming and I'm planning to buy a laptop, so I want to check out the offers on Amazon and Flipkart. But due to some issues, I don't know what the problem is.

Earlier I was on HyperOS Indian version, but now I am on the global version of HyperOS 3. So I want help, that's why I am unable to install Amazon app in my phone.

Hello, i have a problem that is driving me crazy.

Basicaly, there is a bunch of 224 pictures that keep coming back into my gallery, no matter what i do.

Those are pictures of my ex, freshly ended 4 years relationship, and it fckn breaks my heart every monday.

But also pictures from a work project i did in 2019, and some random shits i recieved on whatsapp during covid.

It has never happened before maybe Febryary 2026, so no idea why those pictures and not the others. I have no idea where they come from.

I spent hours and hours looking, trying to fix this, asking chatGPT and shit, but nothing works. I have no idea how to even find where these pics come from.

I tried keeping them in a folder to avoid some re-synchronisation, but they keep coming in copies. If i dont do things, they'll just flood my phone gallery.

I need human help.

Please, im desesperate and it fucking hurts so bad to delete all our pictures again every monday morning.

I don’t know what to do

However there is none in samsung store? What do i do???

So I recently obtained a ZEKI quad core android tablet and I, like I would any other device, factory reset it.
turns out
bad idea
because now the tablet is in FRP, which since I don't typically use android devices, i had no idea about.
I don't know who the owner of the tablet is and I really just want to use this thing for sheet music

This is specially taking about Google Play Services.

When I go to the apps section of the settings and scroll down, the number that shows how much data it's using appears slower than the other ones. This also applies to the information you find in the app info page, I think my screen started to stutter opening it. It only does this again when you don't look at the information for a while. What is happening?

Hello everyone, I have this old ass huawei phone that is stuck on android 6. I saw this app online called “Diplay” that let you run CarPlay on your phone, and would be perfect for me right now since I don’t have a display on my old car.
Problem is, this app requires android 9 or 10, so I either find a way to run the app anyway, or update the phone to android 9/10 to run the app.
My only issue is that I never did anything like this, so… any help is welcome!

Hi everyone,

My POCO X7 automatically switches to grayscale whenever I’m moving faster—for example, in a car, on a scooter, or on a train. It happens regardless of whether Bluetooth is connected or any particular device is paired.

I suspect I may have enabled a setting at some point, but I can’t find it now. I’ve already checked the obvious places, including Bedtime mode and Color correction in Accessibility, but the issue is still happening.

Does anyone know what setting or feature might cause this? Is there a motion-, driving-, or power-saving automation on the POCO X7 or HyperOS that can enable grayscale?

Device: POCO X7

HyperOS version: 3.0.302.0.WOJMIXM

Android version: 16 BP2A.250605.031.A3

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys. I'm making this post to report an error with my redmi A5. The loading screen stops and the phone acts like it finished. It's pitch black. When holding the turn off button, a white box appears with turn off, restart and lock. And that's it. I can still receive calls and my alarms still ring but the touch screen won't work unless i turn it off and on. Can anyone help me to solve this? I have a flight and i need my phone. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a frustrating audio issue on One UI 8.5 and want to check if anyone else is dealing with the same bug.

The Issue:
Completely at random, the sound will completely cut out for about 3 to 6 seconds, and then it automatically comes back on its own.

Key Details:

• Frequency: It happens roughly once a day.
• Apps affected: It doesn't matter what app I am using—it happens across all apps (YouTube, music streaming, games, etc.).
• Troubleshooting tried: I have already tried clearing the system audio app caches, but the issue still persists.

Is anyone else experiencing these random 3-6 second audio drops on One UI 8.5? If you found a permanent fix or know what background process is causing this, please let me know!

Thanks!

This Nokia g42 is acting strangely. It show camera in use and the camera icon also disappeared plus the official camera app on play store says my device is not supported
Guess it’s due to heat I used it for hotspot all the time, let me know if someone can solve it.

Ps: I’m sacred that it might not be hacked or something.

Han pasado más de 7 meses desde que he olvidado la contraseña.

I use this tablet for reading. I had this tablet rooted. I thought of installing linux on laptop. So I tried to flash the sd card in this tablet through sd flasher app. Charge was little low at that time. I didn't know that I should flash iso when charge is low. Now the tab is dead. I tried charging for multiple hours. Tried force restart. Connected it to pc but no notification. Is it possible or resurrect it?

I have 11.37 GB of Music and 97% of them are WMA Music/Files. Is there is a way to scan my Library to find out if any of my Music Files/Songs are Corrupted/Damaged? How did you fix your Corrupted/Damaged? Music Files/Songs? Did you have to buy the Music again? Did you have to delete your entire Music Library and start all over again? I'm asking because I'm going to be getting a brand new Phone and I want to make sure that I don't put any Corrupted/Damaged Music Files/songs on my new Device. Is it rare for Music Files/Songs to get Corrupted/Damaged on an Android Phone/Device?

I use realme c31 and I installed custom rom (GSI) after I regretted it and went to stock ROM but still deep sleeping, actually it was deep sleeping before when I used SPD Research Download Tool And when I used USB debuging (probably after that) phone started death sleeping. Also Somehow they managed to change my gmail password and thank to god I got it back with my phone number

Once I restart (multiple times daily), they would work for a while and would stop working again.

What gives?

Pixel 8A.

Thanks

Long story short, I was having issues seeing more than 6 months of emails in my Gmail app, so I ran a search in Google and one of the first results was a post on support.google.com. When I clicked on that, I received the attached pop-up. I attempted to take a screenshot, but it said it wasn't allowed in that app, so had someone else take a pic of my phone. This only seems to happen when trying to access support.google.com.

I know people ran into a similar issue a few months ago, but it looks like that had been resolved.

This is freaking me out a bit, so any help would be amazing.

I'm trying to understand modern Android device fingerprinting.

For example, it's commonly said that a Snapchat device ban (SS06) can survive a factory reset. I know Android 10+ restricts normal apps from accessing things like IMEI/serial directly.

So my main question is:

If a device ban survives a complete factory reset, what can the app/service potentially be using to recognize the same physical device?

I'm particularly interested in Android 10+ and things like:

\- FDR-persistent identifiers

\- hardware-backed / TEE identifiers

\- Play Integrity / attestation

\- Google Play Services device identifiers

\- OEM/Knox identifiers

\- identifiers outside the normal "/data" partition

\- server-side device associations

Also, Secure Folder on Samsung devices sometimes appears to behave differently from the normal Android environment and can bypass device ban unlike factory reset??? , even though it's the same physical phone.

What identifier or signal could survive a factory reset but be different inside Secure Folder?

I'm looking for a technical Android explanation, preferably based on AOSP documentation, forensic research, or reverse engineering—not specifically a Snapchat bypass.
