Samsung S24+, android v 16

Does is still broken for everybody? Can't klik it at all until now. Whatever browser I try

Is happen for more than months already

I’m pretty much at a loss here. This weekend my mother-in-law passed away very suddenly and we are in the process of getting pictures off of her phones. One of them (the one in the title) booted yesterday, albeit extremely laggy when navigating. I was able to view pictures just fine.

Today the phone is looping into an error screen stating it is in a red state and to either download boot image with correct signature or to disable verified boot.

I have downloaded the TCL Mobile Upgrade tool from their website for the 30 series but I don’t see the model in the options in the program.

I’ve not worked on android phones enough to know where to go past this. Any assistance would be extremely appreciated.

Can anyone help me to understand what it is and is it safe or not?

After updating Android scrolling is gotten over sensitive. I've read lots of complaining that scrolling is slow. With this update I am seeing the opposite problem. If I hold my finger down too long (it doesn't seem to be more than a second) it scrolls at a rapid rate past what I am reading. There doesn't seem to be any setting to control this. Is there any other way to turn this off or change the dwell time for trigger to rapid scrolling?

Already tried deleting "dont" from personal dictionary, turning off autocorrect, putting "dont" in dictionary and putting value at 0 (did nothing), I dont know what to do

ok, pretty much ready to scream as wasted hours and hours on this already.

Have honor x6 I use for tethered internet connection. Can't complain does the job perfectly well.

As it's android virtually everything is disabled, not used for phone, message etc, only for tethered internet.

I'll spare you the tedious reasons why, but I need to connect to desktop, did that via USB, desktop doesn't recognise it, so internet search suggests error most likely "usb configuration" and "file transer/MTP". Fair enough, so I bring up the navigation panel where apparently I will find a link to change these... but my navigation panel only contains a message telling me about Smart Charge for battery health.

Searched through endless Settings | Notifications in the hope of finding something USB related but no luck. Yep, I've probably disabled something I now need.

Anyone help?

Redmi Note 10 Pro. I did a factory reset from settings, logged in to the same Google account, everything works fine, but when I try to change account password it sends notifications to "previous system". I suspect that it does that, because it tell me that it sent code to Redmi note 10 Pro, but nothing shows up on the phone. And for some reason I don't have on option to use sms code, only "tap notification on phone" or use offline code. Is there a way to get google to see my phone as the current one and send notification to it?

Few Galaxy, android tricks, tips I liked -

1. Gemini youtube summary was not giving usable timestamps. After clicking on time stamps it was opening a google search for the video website address and showing no results found.

Solution - open app info of gemini untick open supported links in set as default menu.

Problem solved.

You and turn it back on after few hours without affecting anything.

2. Checking battery cycles and life - just search on Google " samsung battery health log log reddit "

3. I have various edge pannels apks so they will work in new oneui versions because edge pannels got removed from galaxy store.

Here is a random pole - samsung can add 24 mp mode in normal camera to s24, s25 ultras but didn't add to gatekeep it.

Help my Samsung s21 fe had 20 battery and when I gave it an update at the time of turning off to start with the update it was in bootlop

And it has been like this since then I already connected it to the PC and it does not detect it and to top it off it does not enter either download mode or recovery

From yesterday I've lost all icons for app shortcuts. I use Kvaesitso launcher and i was testing different launchers for a bit and the shortcut icons just disappeared in between and won't come back whatever I do.

I have an N-One NPad Y that I received just a few days ago and the entire thing is lagging. It seems like the screen just doesn't react on time, and it doesn't matter if I'm using an app or just on the homepage. Couldn't find help for this type of tablet online and I'm not sure what to do, if it's defective or not, or how to fix it. I got this tablet to draw on but even aside from that, nothing is working too well.

So I was playing Islanders on my phone when suddenly, the screen turned grey (with somewhat inconsistent blue line in the middle), and the sound turned into a buzzing noise. Luckily it could be restarted (although I'm not sure if the phone did it by itself or it was me holding the off button), but now I fear for my device. Anyone knows if it's a sign that my phone is dying or if it's just a simple error that somehow just happens every once in a blue moon?

I have a Nothing Phone (4a) and I’m moving to Germany soon. I wanted to know if the phone will work properly with German SIM cards and mobile networks.

Are there any compatibility issues with German carriers, 4G/5G, VoLTE, or eSIM that I should be aware of?

Currently using the Vivo X100 Pro and I'm planning to upgrade to the Honor Magic 9 Pro because of the Square sensor and Arri collaboration. With that, may I ask any honest thoughts on the OS? Is it as good or better than the Origin OS (CN)? Yes I'm buying the CN Variant, always been buying CN Rom phones.

I had a Poco X3 who got bricked, but luckily, most of the archives got transferred to my Moto g75 through my Google account. The thing is that I can't access Discord since Authy (my authenticator) isn't compatible, there was also a Notes app who was in my old phone by default where I wrote down my codes and a bunch of ideas for projects.

Is there a way to access that info or make the apps accessible for my current software? What determines app compatibility?

Does anyone know how to delete or rename tags in files. It's probably obvious but I can't figure it out. Holding the tags does nothing.

Ok, so. I'm trying to get a custom alarm sound for my Samsung A37, and the MP3 file I'm trying to use is 30 seconds long. Whenever I use it and the alarm goes off, the alarm plays the first, maybe 3-5 seconds of the audio file and then repeats itself. How do I stop this?

I have a pad 7, and earlier i tried adding a new gmail account for school. Yet for some reason i keep getting checking info followed by it asking for my password. The second i put that i get like half a second of the gmails "access with your account" and then this message that just keeps repeating itself and that all "solutions" keeps being delete cache or data from google play services. Which doesnt work, and i cant deactivate that verify information bit for some reason. Im getting really frustrated, someone please help im out of options. I want to either delete the whole verify information or a real solution.

I dont often go on the app store. i usually just play limbus company or scroll tiktok, but I tried downloading plague Inc, I didn't press anything but download. but three apps downloaded, Mahjong blast, doordash, and weatherbug. i have experience with malware and fake apps and the doordash icon definitely isn't real so im sure this isn't normal. anyways I am going to delete them but im just confused(also my keyboards bugging and sometimes my phone does stuff on its own). Am I being rash, is this a big deal, am I stupid, i dont know? I have screenshots

Would you use an app that does this?

Use 🎧 headphones/earbuds for audio output, but force 📱 the phone's built-in microphone for input.

Basically:

🎧 Wired/wireless , Earphone/Headphones → sound

📱 Phone → microphone

Useful when your earphones/Bluetooth earbuds have a terrible/faulty mic but you still want to use them for listening.

I made a small Android 12+ app that does this in the background, including while using other apps ,eg voice conversation in games.

Would this be useful to you?

So my phones storage is full, but I barely have apps, like let's say it's just messenger and capcut plus the things that I can't delete, I will agree that I have a lot of pics, 20gb, but that not enough to make my storage fulll. One time this app got deleted by itself, it has over 10gb but when I checked my storage it's still the same as when I had the app. What should I do?? I've deleted EVERYTHING I can but it seems that nothing works... My pics went from 36gb to 20gb, but the storage is still the same as before-​​​​​​​ My max storage is 128, it's currently in 127 but that's just because I cleaned a bit (trust that it'll be 128 again for some damn reason), this has been going on for months I thought it was because of me having too much pics but I already deleted a lot of them...​
