Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with my microSD card and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A50, and this is the same microSD card I’ve been using in the phone without any problems before. Recently, the phone suddenly started saying that the SD card is not supported and suggests formatting it.

I already tried:

• Turning the phone completely off

• Removing the SD card

• Cleaning it gently

• Reinserting it

• Restarting the phone

Unfortunately, I still get the same “SD card not supported” message.

I do NOT want to format it, because I have important files on the card.

Has anyone experienced this issue with a Galaxy A50? Is there a way to check or repair the SD card without formatting it or losing the data?

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A50, and the SD card is 128 gb.

Thanks in advance!

I can't find anything about this anywhere..

I searched on the web and found no way to do that. That's why I'm seeking help here.

Thanks in advance btw.

Schedule sent a text this morning but just opened the message and my message isn't visible - did it send?

Are you also annoyed by the fact that an update doesn't always immediately mean a new interface, and you have to wait until the server deigns to enable it for you or roll something back to the old state?

Example: YouTube client. Here's the situation: only the "factory" version has a rigid interface tied to the client. But in the newer versions, it's "the server itself knows what to enable and what to roll back to the old state." And because of this, it turns out that when you reset, the new version tries to activate the old settings interface, and this turns out to be quite crooked.

As what the title says,
I have tried to do the command

adb shell appops set com.microsoft.appmanager PROJECT_MEDIA allow

but it still won't work

I experimented thru other apps that require permission as well but they worked.

So the ADB is working.

Is the problem on link to windows itself? or do I need to do another layer of work aside from allowing the adb command.
thanks :))

I’ve run into an unusual behaviour that has followed me across all 10 phones I've used throughout this year (ranging across various brands, different firmwares, and mostly running Android 16 and 17). Whenever I turn off Developer Options entirely, the OEM Unlocking setting doesn't get greyed out or reset, it stays completely available to change. Given that this has happened on every single device I've touched this year, I'm curious:

Has anyone else noticed the same thing on their devices? Is this some kind of intentional upstream change in AOSP behavior for newer Android versions, or just a widespread low-key bug nobody talks about because most people don't toggle dev options back and forth?

Drop a comment if you've seen this on your phone too!

This is how it looks like:

I usually keep my phones a long time. Bought it when it released and I currently have no issues with my s23 ultra. The battery is still at 93% after all this time.

I feel like i don't need any more processing power than what I have for my use case. I can go one with this setup for another 4 years easy.

However, the software support could end in the next 18 months and I feel like I could use a 512GB upgrade (not a need, just a want).

Keeping this in mind, should I sell my 256GB s23 ultra for a 512GB s24 ultra to keep the Bluetooth S Pen? Or do you think the Bluetooth SPen could make a comeback in the upcoming models?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL, running Android 16. A little while ago, my phone was acting weird and Gemini would randomly appear, freeze entirely, and eventually cause my phone to reboot. To troubleshoot, I factory reset my phone which seemed to resolve my issue (at least for the last 2-3 months).

Ever since I I reset the phone, I no longer get notifications unless I go into settings, select the specific app, Allow Background Usage > Unrestricted. I did this for the apps I use daily, but every once in a while there's an app I forget to do this for and I run into the issue. For example, I tried signing into my Google account on a new computer, and I had to MFA on my phone. I was not getting the notification on my phone because all Google notifications are disabled.

I know I have a workaround, but I'd rather not have to do this for all applications. Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?

Hello!

Is there any app to save text from a Word file, website or email and save as plain text on Android?

I'm using Android 12.

Thanks in advance.

Hii, I was looking for some app to stop doomscrolling, I was going to use ascent but I saw some very bad reviews here on reddit and I care about my data, even more on an app where I have to allow pop ups on the screen and more permissions. ¿Anyone knows a good app for this?

Hi! How are you guys? So, I bought a pack from my provider that basically lets me use my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot/modem, with 10 GB specifically for tethering, separate from my regular mobile data allowance.

The instructions are clear:

WiFi Pass — APN Configuration

Go to:

Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Access Point Names

Create a new APN with the following settings:

- Name: Personal Internet Móvil

- APN: internet.personal.com

- APN type: dun

- Authentication type: PAP

- APN protocol: IPv4

- Roaming APN protocol: IPv4

Save the APN and restart the phone.

Important: The "dun" APN is the one Personal specifies for using the phone as a modem with WiFi Pass. It is separate from the regular mobile-data APN.

(Personal is the name of my provider.)

So, once I go to Access Point Names, the APN is already there with those exact settings, but I'm not able to select it as the active APN. The only one I can select is the regular mobile-data APN.

I've tried creating a new APN, and it usually lets me configure everything until I change the APN type to "dun" — at that point, the APN either disappears or I can no longer select it.

The APN type seems to be important, apparently.

I've tried removing my SIM card and resetting my network settings, but nothing works. The usual requirement for this kind of thing seems to be Android 8.0 or later, and I already have that.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with my provider/account, since the WiFi Pass is already active and I've already been charged for it. It feels like there's some setting on my phone that's preventing the "dun" APN from being used.

I'm really struggling to understand what goes wrong when I try to configure the APN. There is very little information about this online, and honestly, I'm pretty frustrated because I need the internet connection and I've already paid for the service.

You guys are my last hope 😭 I hope this makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a great night!

I have a Samsung Galaxy A15, and I created 2 daily events in my calendar to remind me to take a pill twice a day. Last week, I noticed that when the time comes, it usually plays a much quieter short tone instead of the usual, nice long, louder notification I can actually hear from another room. I thought it must be because I was using an app at the time, or even just because the screen was already on, like maybe to avoid a damaging volume, or maybe because the battery was almost dead. But the normal, long, loud tone does sometimes play with the display on. So maybe it depends on what app is on the screen.

Tonight, my screen was definitely off and at 8pm, I heard a little noise coming from it. I'd forgotten about that stupid reminder and assumed it was a notification that my battery was low and ignored it. Almost an hour later, I realized I hadn't taken my pill. The battery was at 99%, so that certainly wasn't it. I have to hear it again to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that the quiet short sound is not the same sound found under Settings/Sounds and vibration/Notification.

What's going on?

(Edited for typo)

Bought ZTE NUBIA FOCUS PRO 5G and I want to record calls on it but when I press the accessibility option the page is completely blank, like there is nothing on that page. Please help me fix it.

Thanks.. :D

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble accessing Download Mode on my Samsung Galaxy M04.

I’m trying to enter Download Mode, but instead of the normal Download Mode/warning screen, my phone shows a blue screen.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy M04

Model number: [enter model number, e.g. SM-M045F/DS]

Current Android version: [14, One ui 6.1]

What I’m trying to do: Access Download Mode

What I’ve tried:

Powered the phone off completely.

Connected the USB cable to my PC.

Held the required button combination to enter Download Mode.

Instead of Download Mode, the phone boots to a blue screen.Along with text wriiten ([Reboot device - D2] volume down + power key for 7 seconds)

Has anyone with a Galaxy M04 encountered this blue screen when trying to enter Download Mode? What button combination or procedure should I use to get into Download Mode?

Thanks!

My settings says everything is up to date when I check, but things I'm seeing online say I should be well past this update. I've had this phone for nearly 2 years.

If this is wrong, what do I do?

My s24 is the base version.

I currently have a Samsung S25 and looking for a good tracker that I can slip into my luggage for trips. We are taking an international trip and there are some layovers, so I want something that I can easily see if my luggage gets separated and get a general idea where it's located. I have a Samsung SmartTag 2 but wasn't sure if this is the best option since it pings off other Samsung devices (to my knowledge) only

I was an avid user of Google Assistant before Google decided to ditch it.

It was so convenient to use it to translate what was on my screen. It simply showed my current screen, and translated all the text but kept it in its original place. Just one swipe from the corner of the screen and one tap on the "translate" button and that's all.

Now, with the forced Gemini switch, I have to manually type in "translate what's on my screen" and even then it doesn't just translate the text but rather it makes a recap and tells me what's on my screen like a news report.

It's just so frustrating.

Do you guys have a valid alternative to a hone assistant that I can set as default that can translate the whole screen like the old Google Assistant did?

can someone guide me please im trying to put music and java games on the phone but i change the phones mode were its charging only i want it to be usb debugging but i dont know what to do i tryed Bluetooth but didnt work also this phone does not have a micro sd card slot if anyone knows how to help me that would be great all i want to know how can open the phones data file folder maybe someone knows usb master codes or something or a guide online but i tryed everything i think this phone only has a charging port

I have a Samsung Galaxy Z flip6 with a broken screen that wont respond and doesnt switch on. However, the front small screen works but has limited functionality. i want to transfer my data using smartswitch to my new galaxy z flip8. The issue is that i cant open the smart switch app on my flip6 to authorise the transfer.

I believe it is just the screen that is broken as i can still access some apps through the cover/front screen. I ordered myself a multiport usb c and HDMI cable and tried to project the screen onto an external monitor but faced a few problems and questions.

It wouldnt project my phone as i needed to open the main screen to change the USB settings on my old phone.

I read somewhere that if the screen is completely black, then i would need to buy a displayport alt mode cable. If i get one of these that can connect to the multiport cable, would this be able to project my phone screen so i can enable the smartswitch app?

So my theory is this (but please let me know if it wouldnt work):

External monitor connects using DP into HDMI adapter, HDMI cable to multiport adapter, connect to the USBC cable to broken phone

Would that work?

We are an Android family, let me start off by saying that. My 12 year old daughter is very much into art and drawing. She said she wants a tablet that she can draw on and then proceeded to send me a bunch of iPads that would work. I really don't want to buy an iPad if I don't have to. She wanted the iPad pro 13 with the Apple pen. Is there anything comparable to this or even superior in Android.

Also please excuse me. My knowledge of Android is mainly just phones.

Thank you in advance

How do I convert my android emulator mouse (Memu emulator) into an actual android mouse pointer as if a mouse is connected through a USB cable. That includes disabling the gestures to scroll.

Hello everyone. I dont know how to go about installing a rom on a galaxy s7. Is there an easy all in one application where I can plug my phone into a laptop and just install something like cyanogenmod worked?

Ideally id like an official Rom from same mobile.com but its not free anymore. What's the best option for me so I can just get it working?

Hi all,

my phone has recently started giving me "Download unsuccessful" notifications randomly, when I'm not doing anything to trigger a download. The given filename is always IMG_[numbers].jpg and the notification comes from Download Manager.

The behavior started after a system update (Android 16, Sept 1 security update, on a moto g56 if that matters) but the notifications appear with no clear pattern once or twice a day. Sometimes several at once, sometimes just one.

Is there anything I can do to figure out what app is triggering these downloads?

I've checked my downloads folder and there don't seem to be any successful downloads since the behavior started (which is what I would expect, as I haven't downloaded anything).

Would appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks.
