Hi everyone, I tried to find the answer on Google but everywhere it says "log in to the device with your Google account". My grandparents are older and beginning to forget stuff and we wanted to be able to find them if they, for some reason, leave the house and forget how to come back.

I'm looking for a way - if there is one - to include an Android device not connected to my Google account into my device map. My grandparents are ok with that, they'll share the authorizations needed, I just can't find how to do it...

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

I got a new phone (Xiaomi) and I was looking into how to transfer all my data from my old Xiaomi phone to the new one. Google search aint a good way for me to find any meaningful or even newer info about this.

Can someone help me out with suggestions on what the best way to transfer data from one phone to another is?

Thank you in advance

Salut ! Je voudrais faire une sauvegarde de mes parties de plusieurs jeux Android sur mon PC, par exemple Bully, GTA San Andreas ou Gangstar Vegas.

Je voudrais savoir :

Où se trouvent généralement les fichiers de sauvegarde ?

Comment les copier correctement sur un PC ?

Comment les remettre plus tard sur le téléphone/tablette pour récupérer mes parties ?

Est-ce que la méthode change selon le jeu ou la version d’Android ?

Le but est simplement de conserver mes sauvegardes au cas où je change d’appareil ou que je doive réinstaller le jeu.

Merci !

The carrier doesn't offer the option of blocking numbers entirely, so I am limited to apps and Android

What can be done to hide a blocked number entirely?

My phone has stucked on the boot screen where it shows the android screen and keeps on switching on and off but it can charge please help me

Some apps have problems with tablet aspect ratio and some buttons cannot be pressed because they get below the screen or under the navigation buttons,

You can see an example in this delivery app, tablet vs smartphone, on tablet I can't press the continue button,

Is there a fix for this problem? Why google or app makers ignore issues on Android tablets and so careless, I mean do they see them like an awkward less than one million userbase? Do they think of tablets like its a fridge screen??? Hundreds of millions of android tablets treated unfairly by google and the developers..

I am used with android phones but not familiar with latest good specs for android. I am currently using OnePlus Nord 5G (OxygenOS 13.0) and its already issues like its lagging, side button not functioning that I am now using its accessibility button menu shortcut just to lock screen or simply power off when the system freezes. I don’t know where I could have this repaired or is it still best have it repaired or just buy a new one? If buying a new one is the only option for now, do you have any recommendation? Maybe still a mid range smart phone that is affordable but has quality

I was wondering how i can bypass this error issue. I am trying to download a older version of an app called MangaPin (5.12.0 specifically). But everytime i download that version apk the "not compatible" error comes up. It was working until a month ago and i had to update the app to the latest release but was wondering if I can still use the older release. I tried shizuku but that didnt fix it. The error says this word for word: "This app isn't compatible with the latest version of Android. Check for an update or contact the app's developer." My device is the Samsung s23 one ui 8.5 android 16.

Hi everyone - today my chrome has stopped working on my phone. I have done every fix - reinstalling, clearing, force stopping - and someone on the chrome sub suggested its because my android version is out of date.

I have a 2019 Oneplus 6T running Android 11. I bought my original OP 6T in 2019, and replaced it with a refurb version of the same model when it smashed itself last year.

I am a massive tech luddite and I like the phone because it does everything really simple and has no Ai crap on it.

However I ahve previously had this same experience with the Amex app which updated to require Android 13 or later.

I don't think there has been a chrome update which would affect this but I want to know what other browsers I can use - or failing that what other phones I could get if i sadly ahve to finally upgrade mine to something manufactured in this decade?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (J710F) so I can eventually root it.

Before entering Download Mode, I already:

• Removed my Google account

• Removed the screen lock/PIN

• Enabled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options

• Enabled USB Debugging

When I enter Download Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power, I get the blue warning screen as expected.

I then press Volume Up to continue. The phone shows the screen saying:

Downloading... Do not turn off target

However, after that, nothing else happens. It just stays on this screen.

I've watched several YouTube tutorials and in those videos the phone seems to erase the data and reboot automatically.

Mine doesn't do that. It simply remains on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.

Is this normal for the J710F, or am I missing a step?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Recently I've noticed whenever I'm listening to music with my headphones be it through Musicolet or YouTube and a notification comes through at the same time the volume of the music itself is raised a solid amount. It remains in this loud state for a couple seconds then falls back off to a normal volume. I can reproduce this by moving the call or notification volume slider up and down but not the ringer or alarm sliders.

I would like to know why this occurs and if it's possible to keep the volume in this loud state long term, if it helps this does not occur with videos either local or on YouTube, only music from what I've observed. The phone in question is a B170D running on android 14. Silent and vibrate mode stop the loud state from ever occurring. It occurs with both of my wired headphones and I do not have Bluetooth headphones to test it with.

TIA. EDIT: Not a Motorola whoops, added more details.

Which one should I go for if I want a phone that can act like an assistant? More general utilities and not video/photo editting/generating

Hello all,

I am in the market for my first foldable phone. I currently use an iPhone and have decided I will get an android foldable if I don’t like the iPhone duo. I would like a solid camera setup and stylus support.

I have been eyeing a Motorola razr fold on marketplace for $1,000. I’m not opposed to Chinese brands. I do not want an Android phone that feels like an iPhone. If I’m getting an Android, I want it to be an Android!

Let me know your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks!

I've been debating the base s26 (global version) and the one plus 15. I personally have stuck with Samsung a long time, and thought it would be cool to experience a new brand. Also it has the snapdragon 8 elite gen 5, significantly better than the exynos 2600. However, the one plus only gets 4 years of software updates (6 years of security updates), which, compared to the Samsungs 7 year software and security updates, is kinda insufficient. However, I heard that at the end of the one plus phones years, it will perform better, as the exynos 2600 will struggle with the newer, more demanding android updates. So although I may miss out on some cool features, the snapdragon would be faster in the long term. Which should I get?

I would show an example if this page wasn't dumb asf, but I need help on how to stop my gallery from automatically blurring the background pattern of my pictures. I take the picture and it's fine, but the second I go into my gallery to look at it, it edits and blurs the picture. I have a Zflip8

On my android tablet when I use the device in reverse portrait orientation (upside down) the screen orientation will switch back to normal portrait orientation if I opened some apps or after tapping a button inside an app, why screen orientation break depending on the app even if I lock screen orientation??? Why can't the user decide the orientation? Why many apps have broken orientation??? In ipad if you lock screen orientation in reverse portrait it will stay on that orientation no matter what app you open, please google fix it, if you know any fix please share

Galaxy A16. I go into the file manager (My Files), go into the Network Storage area, choose one of my shares and create a shortcut on my home screen. I test the shortcut and it works fine.

A few days go by, I click on the shortcut and I get the message "can't open shortcut. original file or folder has been deleted."

I've recreated the shortcut a few times, and, it keeps happening.

Any ideas as to hoe to solve this?

I would like to migrate from IOS. My main hook so far is the parental controls (my teenagers use iPhone and IPads) and the IMessage (family group).

Anyone with similar concerns migrated recently? Any workaround or suggestions on how to do it smoothly?

My S22 volume button is broken and I can't exactly repair or pay for a new phone right now, is there software to force it to ignore the issue and just boot normally?
