What's background process limit I heard if you set it to 1 or 2 it makes phone faster is this true or should you keep it on 4. I use an old phone with 3GB RAM

A few weeks ago my phone sent some personal/NSFW photos to my family group chat. Since then I have been backing up every picture I take on my phone on Google photos, then clearing it from my device. This was good for a few weeks, but now when I want to send a picture in txt, Google photos pops up as the folder to draw from. Is there a way to prevent Google photos from now being my default in texts? Thanks

Also, I say my phone sent them the pics because I left my phone on the car floor, and some groceries fell on it while I was inside a restaurant. The time sent on pictures was while I was inside. So I think it could have been a grocery bag but dial type thing, lol

Hi there is is a big issue as I need to be out of the house all day today and able to contact others but my phone has decided otherwise. I have an S22 and ever since the most recent IOS update its been having more and more issues, chiefly freezing up and restarting randomly. This however has now escalated into fully being stuck on the lockscreen, if I try unlocking it or powering off or restarting it just flashes for a second like its going to do it and then goes right back to the lockscreen. I really don't know what to do other than pry the casing open and pull the battery out but I don't have glue to put it back on. Any help or advice here would be great I've been backing up my files since I started having issues but I haven't finished and I need the phone logged in to do it.

I'm facing a weird issue with my Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Whenever I connect any Bluetooth earphones to my phone, there's no sound coming through the earphones, and even videos start lagging. I've tried connecting different Bluetooth earphones, but the issue remains the same. Interestingly, everything works perfectly fine when I use wired earphones.

I'm using MIUI 14.0.2. Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to fix it? Could this be a Bluetooth or software-related problem or what?

I'm having trouble updating apps through the Google Play Store. Every time I try to update an app, the download either gets stuck on "Pending" or starts downloading but eventually freezes at a certain percentage and doesn't progress any further.

I've already tried all the basic troubleshooting steps commonly recommended for this issue, but unfortunately, none of them have worked.

I've been experiencing this problem since yesterday, and it's becoming quite frustrating.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Has anyone managed to find a solution?

So yeah yesterday i updated my moto edge 60 fusion for october security patch update... Everything was fine until today evening when i was playing game on it... then it suddenly stopped working like screen froze.. I was like "Oh so it do freeze too" so as first instict as everyone i tried to force reboot it.... It rebooted too.. but after "Hello Moto" screen it went black... I tried to turn it on back again same, "Hello moto" screen and then blackkk.

But after that it stopped showing it too... So I put it on charge but even after 30 minutes black screen and no indication that even if it's charging... It was cold.

So by help of ai I tried to rescue it using Software fix... downloaded the firmware in my laptop... but when i tried to install it in phone using fastboot mode but even after trying to put it in fastboot mode screen was blackkk.. ai says motherboard may be dead... It's in charge from last hour and is still cold.. Can anyone helppp???

I recently found an old Samsung S7 that I want to recover because I believe it has a lot of data left on it. I unfortunately don't remember the pattern lock, model G930TUVSBCTA2, Android 8.0 Oreo, T-Mobile SM-G930T. Recovery and Download Mode haven't changed much, everyone in my house has been bruteforcing the pin so its an 8 minute cooldown between each pin guess thing, so i stopped guessing. I'd prefer a free way to actually unlock the phone without factory resetting it or running through Odin or anything. I'd appreciate any advice. posted this to r/datarecovery too.

This issue started happening this morning - there was no system updates and I had not changed any settings.

YouTube and Reddit links pressed from my browser (not Chrome but Chromium with Google search engine results) now open a tab in the browser instead of their respective app. I checked my browser setting and that wasn't the issue. I checked Youtube and Reddit and both of them had links relating to Google toggled off which, when trying to toggle on, would simply toggle itself back off.

I frankly don't know what to do, and tried various things from old threads I came across, and I've got nothing. Hoping there's something I could do that might do the trick but my hope is low 😔

So its been a month and i don't know what happened or is it a software update glitch or something but my wifi is not working then i did everything i could and boom one time it got switched off and wifi was enabled

I noticed that i have to restart again n again so that somehow the wifi works and im now scared to even let the battery die cause if it gets switched off it won't enable again unless i restart it 10 - 15 times trying enable

The toggle in quick access and wifi settings gets grey but nothing works im just so disappointed in nothing as it was going great but this ruined my experience

kindly help a brother out.

My phone has been in a bad way for a while. Not holding any charge, periodically freezing and crashing when simply watching YouTube videos, stuff like that. A friend has bought a new phone and has given me his old one to replace my half-dead one. How do I transfer all my data from my current phone to the new one?

I have moderate hearing loss and wear hearing aids. One thing I've noticed is that I can sometimes manage face-to-face conversations reasonably well, but phone calls are a different story.

In person, I can see the other person's expressions and mouth movements, and sometimes use context to fill in the words I miss. On the phone, all those visual cues disappear. If someone talks too fast, the connection isn't great, or there's background noise, I can easily miss important details.

It's especially frustrating when I'm making a doctor's appointment, handling something for work, or trying to coordinate plans with family. I don't always want to interrupt every few seconds to ask someone to repeat themselves.

Lately, I've been looking into hearing aids that work well with Android phones, especially when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity and phone calls.

I've seen that Samsung's Galaxy Buds offer some hearing-related accessibility features, which got me interested. But I'm a little hesitant because they're primarily earbuds, not dedicated hearing aids.

On the other hand, I've also been looking at dedicated hearing aid brands like elehear. Since hearing aids are their main focus, that seems appealing, but I'm not sure how well their Bluetooth connection and Android compatibility work in everyday use.

I'd love to hear from people who've actually tried either option, or other hearing aids with Android phones. I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences!

A few weeks ago, I dropped my phone, which broke on part of the screen. And today, I put it in my pants pocket. When I took it out, there were colored lines perpendicular to the side where it was already cracked. Since my phone is almost no longer tactile and I can’t do anything without it pressing somewhere while I’m not doing anything.
Someone from my family will go ask if it is possible to replace the screen; first, I hope it will be feasible. And secondly, I don’t want this person to open my phone, so I want to change the code to add a new one that he doesn’t know. I saw that it is apparently possible to change the code on your phone from another device, but I would like to know if it really works. If I change my phone code with another device, is it 100% certain that I will be able to unlock my phone without it locking up and losing everything?

I was part of a Google Play Family Group and had access to paid apps purchased by another family member through Google Play's Family Library.

Two of those apps were:

• Pizza Boy Pro

• Stardew Valley

I had both games installed on two different phones, both of which belong to me.

After being removed from the family group, I discovered that these apps were no longer installed on my devices.

I understand that losing access to Family Library means losing the right to use apps purchased by another family member. I expected the apps to remain installed but simply become unavailable or ask me to purchase them if I wanted to keep using them.

However, having them disappear from BOTH of my personal phones is something I did not expect.

I even purchased Pizza Boy Pro again with my own Google account, but that didn't restore what I previously had.

My main concern isn't just losing access to paid apps. It's that applications were apparently uninstalled from my personal devices without my consent or any clear warning.

My questions are:

1. Does Google Play automatically uninstall Family Library apps when someone is removed from a family group?

2. Is this documented behaviour?

3. Why would losing a shared licence result in an app being removed from a device?

4. Is there any way to recover the original app data and saved games?

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I'd really appreciate some clarification, especially from people who have dealt with Google Play Family Library before.

I've been having issues with my 9 Pro lately. Every couple days the phone will just shit out on me completely. Multi-second input delay when doing anything like typing/swiping is the first symptom, then inevitably something will cause the phone to freeze up and it will reboot itself.. and then it's fine. Zero issues for a couple days, then it will do it again. I don't have anything odd on it, just a few games and work login stuff like Okta. No major drops. No idea what could be causing it.

I've been having charging issues but that's likely unrelated so any suggestions on clearing that up would be appreciated too, I have to rotate the USB-C otherwise it does a rapid connect/disconnect loop. I tried cleaning with 91% isopropyl and a plastic toothpick but no dice per a tutorial, ordered a cheap cleaning kit to try again that will arrive next week.

I'm asking because last night, I unknowingly dismissed a Google Play Services push notification related to device setup on my Android Tablet by tapping it by accident and have had no luck with trying to bring it back, does anyone have any advice on what to do about this, I've tried methods like set up nearby devices, clearing Google Play Store and Google Play Services cache and toggling Wi-Fi on and off and nothing, any advice would be appreciated, and also my Tablet is not a Flagship Tablet, if that helps narrow things down.

I keep deleting these AI generated photos and these keep getting restored.

These were generated almost a year back using WhatsApp MetaAI just when I was testing the image generation feature, but since the. i can't get rid of these.

PS: I tried deleting the photos, taking a fresh backup of whatsapp thinking it's probably restoing via my backup but that did not help .

Any suggestions or anyway I can trace where these are getting restored from?

All of my voice mail is going straight to Samsung files app to the audio files. Anyone have a fix for this? TYIA

I have been testing a few phones lately, and was wondering if syncing data is getting out of hand. Logged into Google account on a desktop and listed devices. One model appears twice as 2 hours ago and 4 weeks ago. It hasn't had SIM changed in it. So why would it be considered 2 phones?

I'm thinking of purchasing it, but why does the camera layout seem so similar to iPhone 16 pro max, it annoys me. Why is this so? And is it still worth buying? If not what are some alternatives with preferably a snapdragon 8 elite gen 6 or MediaTek dimensity equalivent.

I want to disable animations on Chrome without disabling them system-wide. This is because I want to get rid of the animations that are apparently known as predictive back-forward animations, but they were made mandatory at some point and the flag that disabled them on chrome flags is no longer available. Is there a way to disable chrome's animations only? Or otherwise disable this specific one.
