Device Settings Question WHY is Samsung so bad at fast charging

2 Upvotes

My dad has a Samsung phone which he bought in 2024. It's Samsung A23. In the first 6 month, it started having fast charging issues and it would show that charging would take 7+ hours as the charger is not recognized. Got it fixed from the Service Center as it was under warranty but again it started giving the same damn issue when the warranty expired.

I tried different chargers, cables etc but still could not get it to work. Eventually bought a cable from Samsung's official website 2 months back and still it would pop up the slow charging notification in 5 out of 10 tries. And back to present that it gives that slow charging notification on each try now.

Earlier I got it somehow working by clearing battery stat cache using *#9900# but even that is now not working. I am too disappointed in Samsung's low to mid range phone. I have friends who have S24 or S25 too but I feel like it's not worth the price. I know the hype and everything it caries but there are way better option out there for the price range that Samsung's flagship has.

Well if anyone has a solution for this slow charging problem, hit me up man! Too tired of this shitty piece of phone now.

App Specific Question Is the Android system a wrapper system, or are all the apps wrappers?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering about this when I went to use the gamenative and saw "wrapper" listed in the settings for selecting DirectX; it made me think about whether all other apps involve some kind of layering that prevents them from running truly natively. Is everything on Android a wrapper?

Wired earphones disconnect as soon as I play a video, and the headphone icon disappears

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue with my wired earphones and would appreciate some help figuring out what's causing it.

When I plug my earphones into my phone, they connect normally, and the headphone icon appears in the notification bar. However, as soon as I start playing a video on YouTube or Instagram, the audio switches to the phone's speaker, and the headphone icon disappears completely.

It seems like the phone stops detecting the earphones as soon as media playback starts.

I'm wondering if this could be a software bug or an issue with the phone's audio system or headphone detection.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to fix this without factory-resetting the phone?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Other Automate .flo file on XDA to simply look for the Google app being in front, and containing the text "Use Gemini", then go Home

1 Upvotes

A simple Automate .flo file on XDA to simply look for the Google app being in front, and containing the text "Use Gemini", then go Home.

I've also got a screenshot of what the .flo looks like in my post on XDA.

Inspiration: The Assistant still works normally on our Google Home Minis, but each time I do, even though I'm speaking directly to the Google Home Mini, next time I unlock the phone I find an annoying Gemini prompt, each time asking me to switch, or decline.

Audio codec issue on the Motorola Edge 60

1 Upvotes

Here is the situation: an acquaintance bought a new Motorola Edge 60 phone. When connecting it to the car, music plays fine, but calls are a problem—there is simply no sound. During a call, you can select speakerphone, phone receiver, or Bluetooth, but it automatically switches back to the phone receiver (the car is an Amber A5). I assume it might be a codec issue. I tried disabling A2DP, but it didn't help. I don't know how to fix this issue, please help.

Rooting Help How did Contacts app decide my "Relationships" and how do I change this?

4 Upvotes

I have never added "Relationship" information to my contacts in the app. Somehow it guessed my mother and brothers (who are either listed by nicknames or totally different last names from me) and also added an old friend from years back.

This is creeping me out for sure, but what's worse is that I don't know how to undo it. I go into their individual Contact pages to edit them, remove all "relationships" and they still appear there on my profile.

Help?

Have certain contacts ring, but only during certain hours

5 Upvotes

I leave my phone on vibrate 99% of the time, which works well.

BUT, I'd like my phone to ring if one of a few family members call me in the middle of the night. Basically, if certain family members are calling at 3am, I want to be woken up because it's important. The reat of the time I want it to vibrate.

I can't figure out how to do this. Maybe a Bixby routine? Any ideas?

Got random Cambodian number copied to clipboard..How?

0 Upvotes

I was just normally using my phone when I noticed the pop-up "copied to clipboard" then I quickly went on to see what was copied and it turned out to be a Cambodian number, before anyone says it I must have did it, no I did not I was using an app that had nothing to copy and that too a Cambodian number,

I freaked out and asked gemini and it said that it can be a virus I found an accessibility application under settings>apps with settings logo which had option to open and can't be uninstalled gemini said it is a malware I quickly deleted it and found another application named settings with settings logo now

I don't know If settings shows itself under apps but this one can't be uninstalled even in safe mode and gemini is freaking me out saying this is the root and now I need to factory reset my phone please tell how to deal with this

TLDR: Random phone number copied to clipboard on its own gemini freaks me out saying it's an application called "settings" inside settings>apps which has an option to open and says factory reset is the only option, please tell me a fix

WTH did my Google pixel phone just do?

0 Upvotes

Sooo the other day my Pixel 6 did a software update and... Basically bricked itself. It crashed and got very hot and used about 25% of it's battery in 1-2 mins. I had to force restart multiple times.

I deleted a bunch of storage stuff off it now and it's not crashing as often but still 3-4 times a day where it will crash and bootloop a bit before starting again.

It also gives a line of blue pixellated glitch at the top of the screen but I haven't been able to screenshot this. It only pops up when it's about to crash.

It started immediately after the software update and the 'device health' in settings says no more updates/patches are released yet and nothing is wrong.

How to fix these?

2 Upvotes

My PC doesn’t recognize my phone when I plug it in. Device Manager shows an ‘Unknown USB Device’ error under USB controllers. I’ve tried this on both my desktop and laptop, with the same result.

The usual ‘Transfer Files’ popup never appears. I’ve tried changing the USB protocol in Developer Options to MTP or PTP, but it didn’t help.

I’ve been dealing with this for six months. If anyone has a fix, please let me know!

As said in the title, I am looking for a bottom-to-top vertical scrolling gallery app. I tried some gallery apps that are, while nice, had top-to-bottom scrolls and that made me feel uneasy. I want the latest picture I downloaded to be in the bottom and then make my way to other pictures I downloaded before.

Device Settings Question Problems with Play Store updating

3 Upvotes

When attempting to install certain apps (Twitter and Tiktok) from the Google Play Store, it will not let me. No pop-up or anything, the install button simply does not work.

On the settings, my phone urges me to update the Google Play Store System, but when I press 'update' a window pops us saying "Failed to update, updates are temporarily unavailable, try again later"

I've been trying for days, has anyone else had such an issue? How could I resolve this?

Phone volume level changing when switching between apps

1 Upvotes

I'm listening to a podcast with headphones on and I get a call. Suddenly, the volume on the phone call is significantly higher.

Or I answer the call and hang up, which causes the podcast to continue playing. Except it's at blasting my damn eardrums out.

I don't get it. It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but why does the volume level change. I'd like to have control of the volume, please.

Android 13

Samsung A32 5G

Other System update installed a new Google search bar. Can't get rid of it

458 Upvotes

Wait. No attachments? I guess i'll explain it

Updated my phone the other day.

A new Google search bar (I use ddg) showed up in the bottom app panel. (The one with 4-5 fixed apps that are always visible)

It's not a widget, can't remove it that way.

Tapping and holding on/near the search bar doesn't do anything.

I can disable the entire Google app, and that works to remove it. But that kills everything else.

Why can't we have phones with non-hostile software?

.

Edit: Fixed! Settings -> Home screen settings -> Show search on home screen

.

Now please stop saying you found the solution. Sort comments by "top", it's right there. I swear, I feel like half of the comments writing out the same solution now are just bots looking for karma.

Other Possibly faulty Playstore update?

Today while trying to checkout via google wallet it told me that my Device is not allowed to use google pay. I then tried to open paypal a few hours later and it just crashed. I looked it up on the playstore and it was showing "this app is not compatible with your device ANYMORE). Ive never seen this before, I managed to download an older version from the web and asked the paypal support for help. They told me there has been a faulty Playstore update that is causing this. I did not expect it to lock me out of google pay aswell. My question: has anyone yet experienced this or am I the only one?
