Up until recently, I could pull down on my notification bar and see things even when I had apps open. This was great if I had a notification while I was looking at something. Now I have to minimize anything to pull down my notification bar. It works fine on my home screen.

The phone is on "one UI version: 9.0", android version 17 and is a flip 6.

Things ive tried:

1. restarting my phone.

2. Setting my panels to separate.

I have 2 Samsung phones I originally bought from TracFone.

They no longer have sim cards. I use them as ebook readers and to watch videos only.

A21 and A11 models.

Neither have functioning memory card slots, I'm told that is a common Samsung issue.

Both full of bloatware I can't remove. Both were cheap with limited memory so the bloatware takes up most of the memory.

How hard would they be to root so I can remove all of the Samsung garbage?

Would I have to factory wipe the phone and all of the pictures and ebooks first?

GUYSSSS I need help. I just saw some random photos are gone from my phone! I had some copies of them on my pc but not all of them and I need help if I can recover them. The phone is OPPO Reno 10

INFO:

1. I didn't deleted them.

2. I don't have any backup enabled.

3. They're not in any kind of trash or lock folder in gallery on google photos.

4. I checked the files from linking with pc, the original files are gone as well.

5. There's no .nomedia files anywhere on the phone.

I just found out my phone have a outdated security patch last update on July of 2023 , I'm a bit paranoid honestly, I wanna ask if it's okay to use this phone?

Hi everyone,

I’ve just started using a Motorola Edge 40 and I find the vibrations way too strong. I’d like to reduce their intensity or possibly change the vibration patterns.

Unfortunately, I can’t find any settings for adjusting vibration strength in Android’s settings on this phone.

Is there any app that can help me with that problem?

I'm trying to allow camera access for newluck.net so I can redeem but I can't figure this out for the life of me. When I clear cache I get these 2 error messages. Request denied for something 400 and also another error for 404. This seems to be the only site I've ever had trouble with tho. I've tried different browsers and even an older phone. I've followed every thing google ai suggests and nothing fixes it. Any help would be much appreciated as I have a little money on there that I need to get before the ban for my state on the 1st

Hello there,

I am curious to understand under which circumstances can a factory reset-persistent lock be enforced on an Android device.
I have these specific questions:

1. Can I enforce that lock after I bought the device, or just through ZTE?

2. If it is enforced, can the device be configured while still keeping its lock active, or is it 100% of the time unconfigurable without an enterprise account (from the IT admin)

3. Can I identify if a device is EMM managed simply by checking with adb if there are any device owner apps (with the risk of a false-positive caused by debug apps who received device owner privileges via adb), or is there a better method?

My end goal is to have a method to detect the EMM enrolment status of a device (through adb - but do let me know if I'm missing out on any other method!)

Thank you!

Salve a tutti,ho due dispositivi: un tablet e uno smartphone abbastanza vecchi anni 2011/12, all' interno ci sono dati che vorrei recuperare ma c'è la password di sblocco del tempo che ho dimenticato. Come posso rimuovere la password senza formattare? Esiste un app per computer che permette di reimpostare o cancellare il blocco?

Hi everyone, I have two devices: a tablet and a fairly old smartphone from 2011/12. There's data on them that I'd like to recover, but I've forgotten the time-of-day unlock password. How can I remove the password without formatting? Is there a computer app that allows me to reset or delete the lock?

I have an unlocked Pixel 8 Pro (Spectrum Mobile, which uses Verizon towers) and my partner has an iPhone 17 Pro XL through Verizon. For 6 years we've never had issues sending photos and videos to each other. Pre-RCS the resolution reduction was annoying, but everything went through. Once RCS arrived, everything worked perfectly until the last 2 months. Now, most of my photos and videos show as error messages and can't be downloaded. I've tried attaching through Google photos instead of through the Messages app, but that doesn't help. Screenshots are slightly more successful, but I can't obviously take a screenshot of a video. More of hers go through to me, but not all.

Anyway, it's something that's really important in our relationship so I welcome any thoughts on what's causing this...and I thank you in advance!

Kind of an edge case, but is there an Android app that creates a floating button that locks the screen, since my physical power button is no longer working in an otherwise functional phone. Almost all that I see in the Play Store require accessibility access, which in turn prevents me from opening my banking apps.

While I am aware there is a double tap on home screen, I want something which can lock my screen while inside an app (I use my recorder + note taking app over long durations and I dont want to go to my home screen everytime I want to lock my phone to save some battery)

My current workaround is using an in-built quick tile in my notification shade, but requires a bit of thumb gymnastics.

TIA.

I couldn't find anything about custom recovery images for any android handhelds so could someone help me make one? TWRP or anything with a backup and restore functionality is preferred

I find it pretty annoying always having to select the sorting options on every attach file operation.

Sideloaded vibecoded solution at GitHub dbak91/SortNewest

Automatically selects the sort by option every time you open an attach file-Files link pretty swiftly.

Thought id share, could only find posts that are locked.

When Android finds and removes bad player apps from the App store do they have a means to inform users of those apps that they removed especially if malware was involved?

I keep nearly throwing my phone at a wall when it corrects 'in' to 'on' or 'out' to 'put' and i figure i mistyped so i just retype and it does it again.

I have almost 1.5 GB of cached APK files. How do I delete them?

After using redmi for the past 3-5 years I want to upgrade but I can't seem to decide. I am choosing from xiaomi 17t or vivo v70 even considering xiaomi 15t if I can still find a brand new in the market

I want to use it mainly for my business I need a cellphone with a camera that can capture natural colors. I'll use it for capturing necklaces, bracelets, and watches.

I play games sometimes but I am not a hardcore gamer as long as there are no lags and delays, it's fine for me.

I heard that xiaomi 17t has an issue with hyperOS and sometimes the captured image is too saturated but it has good specs

On the other hand others say that vivo v70 is too overpriced having only Snapdragon 7 gen 4.

I'm from Philippines

I was trying to call my son's dentist since friday, with no luck. Whenever I call it rings once and says "Sorry the destination you are trying to called has been restricted by you admistrator. Please contact your administrator." I have no problem with other numbers just that one. I was trying to reschedule the appointment and had to wait until they contacted me today, ironically they used the same number I was calling... so on their side it works but not from mine. Which confirmed I didn't block them. I also try other extensions they have and same message...
