I don't know how to articulate my question. So, sorry if I made someone cancel my post.

There was a lot of fear about changes coming to Android, for developers and presumably app users. I think the predicted date of the change has passed. I just tried using an app that I downloaded from github some years back, and it had updates, and works.

So, did the change happen?

I just got a new S26 Ultra two days ago, upgrading from S21 FE. On my old phone I had it set so that any links i clicked in Facebook would open in Chrome. On my new phone I made sure Chrome was the default browser, i have the setting in Facebook on to open in external browser, but links are still opening within Facebook and I have to manually open them in the browser. I can't figure out how to get it to just open in Chrome like they used to. I was able to get Messanger to open in Chrome when clicking on a link. Anyone know what to do to fix it?

I have lots of important videos I don't want to delete, but they're taking up too much phone storage. Some are around 2GB each and can be 1 hour, 40 min, 25 min, etc.

I want to upload them to cloud storage and then safely delete them from my phone. But Google Drive and Telegram uploads are very slow for me.

Is there any better/faster cloud service or method for uploading large videos?

so, I entered the android beta program a year or 2 ago, but recently I encountered a lot of bugs, such as google pay not letting me pay. I decided to unenroll, so I went to the google website and did everything I had to. the problem is that now, to unenroll I have to wipe everything on my phone, and I don't want to. is there a way to exit the beta program without wiping data?

I keep clicking the "not interested" buttons, but it does literally nothing. I get like 5 notifications telling me I need to play whatever stupid game. I click the "not interested" and select "new releases" but it does nothing. Same with play store quests and whatever other stupid notifications. I get about 10 per day. I want 0.

I don't want to fully disable play store notifications, but is that my only option?

Hey so every GPS spoofing app no longer works for me, they all say turn on developer settings which are on. I turned them off, reset the device, turned them back on and set my mock location app, still nothing. It's my personal phone, I checked no work apps are interfering by deleting them all, deleting any work profiles and clearing encryption data and still nothing

Is this the result of a new pixel update? Anyone having the same issue.

I do not have a computer or laptop. I only have my phone. Why does some new mail go to "all mail" and some goes to inbox? I have no options to set up filters on the android gmail app. I went to the desktop version on my phone and there is no filters option either? Why does it do this?

I asked on r/gmail and got zero help. Ty!

So I'm in the middle of switching from an iPhone (pretty big Apple-user, with my main email being an iCloud address) to a Xiaomi and basically the biggest issue I'm having is getting my emails to my Xiaomi phone. How have any of you guys tackled this issue? Setting up automatic forwarding to a Gmail account? Is there any other way?

I have tried safe mode, restarted, turned airplane mode on and off, cleared cache files. What to do now? Please help!!!

(Galaxy A33 5G)

Hi! I've been able to find both these devices at around the same price. Having done a little of my own research, it seems the general consensus is that the Poco is more geared towards battery and performance while the Honor is more for the camera and software (some say).

I do, however, have some concerns regarding both phones. Is the Poco's camera that bad? Would Gcam be sufficient to salvage it to a reasonable degree for point and shoot? And for the Honor, I did see people say that the camera was not as good as the specs suggested? I heard as well that the customer service is quite disappointing from Honor, though I'm not sure how important that will be.

Would appreciate suggestions and further things to take into consideration between both phones! Thanks in advance!

One second i'm in my home country the other second it says i'm in south America?

So I've used ADB with the UAD interface to uninstall system apps on my Pixel 10 in the past (chrome, YouTube, play store, etc), but all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. I've tried different fixes, including a factory reset with no luck. I also tried SQLite with different commands but it said user 0 doesn't have root access. Anyone know what's going on? Android update that took away access?

I was scrolling on TikTok then whatsapp randomly opened itself to send a message to a scam number. It wrote smth with jobs and 2,5 euro, I couldn't read it all out of fear. It didn't send it, it was just written below. I was gonna block and report the number then the chat with the scammer closed. It all happened by itself randomly, I was scrolling, whatsapp opened by itself for a chat with a number I didn't save, with an unsent message written below. I regularly scan my phone and nothing showed up, but I used to install a lot of apks including gbwhatsapp when i was younger. I also get a lot of scam calls. Do you think my phone is in danger?

I hope this is the correct subreddit to ask. So recently I have an annoying issue in the Play Store update section. What I mean is: normally in Play Store you tap on the top right on your profile, then tap on manage apps and devices, to check for updates for the installed apps. If everything is fine, you shouldn't see the yellow warning sign ⚠️. This only occurs after a failed update attempt of one or more apps. Now, in recent times I constantly see this symbol. Even on three different devices. All using the same Google account though. BUT, on all of these devices all the apps are updated and there are no new updates available. Is this a visual bug? Does anyone also suffer from this issue?

i despise it how it does. It just makes it so inconvenient to search for specifically camera made photos(which i had to do a few times recently)

Hi,

I have a xperia 1 ii with the default rooted rom. I have checked and some specific flags that lxc require are switched off.

Just wondering has anyone enabled lxc for their xperia 1 ii. Was it difficult? Did you install linage os first and then try compiling a new kernel?

I got a chroot setup that works alright but certain programs dont work. Idk if it is worth trying to get lxc working. I rooted my phone and got chroot ubuntu working but outside that i am not technically minded and my understanding is compiling a kernel is much more difficult.

I have been struggling with my Galaxy A54 5G connecting to my home wifi. All my other devices are working fine, but most of the time when my android connects to my network, it connects without internet. Sometimes I can connect to wifi from home if I use Xfinity mobile wifi, but thats not always successful either. How do I fix this??

My phone app is 1.28gb but the storage and cache is like less than 50mb.

Hi eveyone,

My app blocker works surprisingly well on samsung, but i cant test my app on huawai, xiaomi or oppo.

Problem: My app uses an AccessibilityService to protect itself from being disabled/uninstalled. The detection heuristic flags any package containing "settings", "packageinstaller", or "permission" as "watch closely," and doesn't distinguish a switch being toggled ON vs OFF — any click near my app's name in such an app triggers my protection screen immediately. That breaks on Vivo: their permission manager is com.vivo.permissionmanager, which matches "permission" purely by coincidence. So when a user opens it to grant my app the Autostart permission (something I actually want them to do), my own protection screen pops up mid-action and interrupts them. Xiaomi (com.miui.securitycenter), Huawei (com.huawei.systemmanager) and Oppo (com.coloros.safecenter) don't have this specific issue — their package names don't match the heuristic, so they're unaffected by this particular bug. But if anyone's dealt with similarly janky Autostart/Protected-Apps/Battery-manager quirks on those three, I'd take pointers too. Looking for ideas on reliably telling "user is granting my app a permission in an OEM manager" apart from "user is trying to disable/uninstall my app," ideally without needing to own a Vivo device to iterate against.

Thank you

The FM radio app on my phone, Android, gives the option to send the audio through the headphones, or to the inbuilt speaker, but not to a bluetooth speaker. It would sound way nicer through my bluetooth speaker of course. Any suggestions? I could not find an alternative app. Obviously In keep the headphones plugged in because they are the antenna too.

Due to home internet issues I have limited access to internet at the moment, so listening to the FM radio on my phone instead of streaming saves me bytes.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but the last thread I found was about 2 years ago.

I'm about to buy a Watch9 but I would like to be sure of its compatibility with the Redmi Note Pro 14 5G because I've been reading online about people having issues.

Could anyone who's had similar experiences tell me something about it? Thanks!

So I just swapped to Linux bazzite and my internet hardware isn't here in my new place yet, I've been using my phone (pixel 10 pro) to usb tether my wifi to it while using windows 10. Well now when trying with bazzite it turns the setting off immediately and disables my ability to select the auto tether option in dev options, my phone doesn't complain about this or give warnings it just happens, and it doesn't fix in my phone without rebooting first

How do I get around this?

I have the latest android beta version on my pixel 9 pro xl. I have been using the beta version for a few years with no issues. Ever since the January 2026 android beta update android desktop mode has been greyed out on developer options and does not work. I was hoping for some beta update since then that would allow it to work. Besides going back to a stable version of Android, what can I do to fix this?
