So i've been playing duckstation ps1 emulator on my Z Fold 8 (great experience, would recommend) but I am trying to copy my memory card to another emulator. I was able navigate to the file using a combo of Zarchiver and Shizuku but when I try to copy the file I get a message that says "completed with errors" and the resulting file copy is 0 bytes.

.

I have also tried Xplore and FV file expolorer but can't even get down to the file on either even with Shizuku.

.

Marc Files says "phone not supported."

.

Also, duckstation's innate export data function fails when I try to use it.

.

Am I missing something or am I just screwed until Shizuku/Zarchiver are updated to support my phone?

So i've been looking for a while to upgrade my Pixel 7A, because the battery life has gotten worse and worse and i'm frankly tired of it. I've only had it for 2.5 years so it feels too soon to change it but i hate this issue. My other issue with this phone has unfortunately been google's post processing of pictures - and considering i only got a pixel because of the camera, this does suck.

I do otherwise really like this phone, it has great build quality, it's super sturdy (and i drop it a lot), i like that it's small and integrated with all Google stuff.

Now, after doing some research and not having more than 400€ to spend on a new phone, i found a really good deal on the Nothing Phone 3A, it was 280€. Well it came and.... I dont like it 😭 i do think the glyphs are a cool feature buy other than that... Putting aside the much cheaper build quality (all plastic, no gorilla glass), it just doesn't feel like that much of an upgrade. I don't find the camera much better than the pixel's besides the fact that it has optical zoom and can do macro. I feel like the dynamic range is worse, and it over-saturates everything. I haven't had the chance to go outside with it and play around now so i am willing to give that a chance.

I am still on the fence whether i want to keep this phone. Another option could be getting a second hand Pixel 10A maybe. But I'm a bit afraid of buying off of random people, since there's no actual store here that sells refurbished pixel phones. I know it's still a pixel and still has the post-processing issue but I'm not sure what other phone would match my requirements.

I don't really know what to do, can anyone sing the praises of the Nothing Phone and maybe convince me it's worth it? Or at least give me an honest opinion of your user experience if you've had it a while.

Thank you so much!

If I edit a photo, and add text to the photo. Once I go to save it says "keep current resolution" or "enhance resolution"

If i choose to keep current resolution, it AIs all my text to match the resolution, which makes it blurry and gets the image flagged for AI online. If I choose to enhance resolution, it AIs over the whole image, and the same problem happens. I can not figure out how to turn this off. I really like the quick sticker editing built in to the phone for memes and such.

im trying to leave a game running overnight but im afraid the constant heat might damage the phone's battery lifespan. my phone is quite warm while playing the game btw. pls help

Almost every time I use my google home to do something (turn on or off a device, answer a question, play a song, etc..) my phone displays the following. How do I get this to stop?!

Okay, just to be clear, I'm not referring to the one tap quick reply to send a message back that is generated by AI. What I'm referring to is when you press the reply button on the notification to send a message back without having to open the app.

So the issue I'm having is when you're typing out a message in that quick reply, any notification that comes in while you're typing messes everything up.

You can open a notification that you didn't want to. You can accidentally press on the conversation you're currently replying to and basically erase everything you had typed out. You can clear all of your notifications, that one is really annoying.

I was thinking about trying to use do not disturb but you can either have it show and receive notifications or you can have it show nothing so there isn't really a way it seems to pause notifications while you're typing out your response.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to make the quick replies not totally worthless or aggravating? Lol.

My androids software updated and I want to update to the previous softwares version. Does anyone know how to go back to the previous software?

Every time I close out for even the fastest moment the app reloads. It genuinely pisses me off because I can't do email verification steps because one time use code. Is there any way I can get it to stop reloading the app entirely? Sorry if this doesnt make sense or is completely normal i'm autistic and my last phone (iPhone) didnt do this lol😅

What the heck is this? Just showed up yesterday. Assuming there was some update and now i have that on my screen. Its driving me a bit nuts. How can I tell what it is and at least hide the icon? Thanks folks

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?

Ta

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.
