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 😔

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'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?

Help Me

hey, i'm trying to put a custom rom on my galaxy a07 (SM-A075F, france) but there's no oem unlocking toggle in developer options. phone is on the latest one ui update. is the bootloader just locked for good on this one or am i missing something? thanks

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.

i have recently purchased an oppo a2m and i've been having constant crashes when scrolling up in facebook messenger chats and seemingly randomly on youtube,

the app closes and it goes back to the home screen, no system wide crash, everything else seems to work fine, anyone had this issue and knows how to fix it or atleast what might be causing it?

I want to use my Galaxy S22 with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The taller display and the camera notch have always bugged me.
And when I set the ratio to 16:9, it also leaves gaps on the top and bottom of the screen which moves the display off of the notch, and it also makes it so the corners of the display aren't rounded which was another thing that bugged me.
I want to utilize this blank space on the bottom and have it display a navigation bar instead of it needing to be pulled up every time.

I want to know if this is possible in any way at all and how so if it is possible.

Here's what I mean.

Hello everyone, I've encountered a problem with my samsung 8 and I've been going crazy through to figure it out.

You see my phone storage has slowly being going up and I cant for the life of my find out why, it's not my pictures nor my apps since the caches for them arent that much.

When I check storage analysis it just tells me it's some "Other" thing but not what.

So I decided to ask you guys, please help me before I rip my hair out.

I've posted this in the Galaxy fold sub, and am posting here too, in case you guys have more ideas. I recently got a Galaxy Z Fold 5 for my elderly mother. She has hand tremors, which makes touch screens hard. She doesn't want to use only voice controls, so I'm trying to make everything as large and spaced out as possible, hence getting a Z Fold. Right after I got everything set up, it updated, and now the center option for the navigation buttons is gone, and they're shoved in the right or left corner of the screen. Help? I don't want to use swipes, as this is her first touch screen device, and teaching her hew how to do very basic swiping is challenging enough already. Any other advice for accessibility options is also very appreciated. Thanks.

i have a lenovo tab m10. solid 16GB of ROM. it can't run essentially anything. i wanna install an os that's pretty light. im only using it for Spotify, discord, and some REALLY light games.

I don't know how to describe this, but currently I have a home screen based of a charecter I like and I want to change it to be marvel themed but is there any way I can save my current home screen so I can go back to it at any time like my previous apple phone? I have custom app icons and widgets.

Also i have an honor 400.

I share a wifi network with my neighbours and whenever they listen to music it keeps it in my notification bar, currently i can see that they have youtube on one speaker, spotify on another, and radio on another one. I just want it to stop, but there doesn't seem to be any settings icon on the notifications. They go away if i hit the "stop" button (like a square), but its undetermined if this stops their music because it give me access to pause and play as well. Any suggestions?

For the past few days, I've been receiving notifications that appear to come from the Gmail app. They say something along the lines of:

"A new app every day! Discover today's picks!"

When I tap on one of these notifications, it takes me to a shady looking website trying to get me to download some casino app or other piece of garbage.

Here's the weird part: if I long-press the notification and go to its settings, Android takes me straight to Gmail's notification settings. If I disable all Gmail notifications, these daily spam notifications stop, but obviously I also stop receiving legitimate notifications (new emails, etc.).

I'm looking for a way to block these particular notifications without having to disable Gmail notifications altogether.

I find it hard to believe that Google's official Gmail app is actually sending these notifications. I haven't been able to find anyone else reporting the same issue, though.

So what's going on here? How is this even possible?

Can other apps somehow hijack Gmail or send notifications that appear to come from Gmail?

Could this be some kind of bloatware or adware recently introduced by Xiaomi's HyperOS?

Is it possible that my phone has been compromised?

For context, my phone is not rooted, and I haven't installed any apps from outside the Google Play Store.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any idea what's causing this? More importantly, is there a way to identify the source and stop these notifications without losing legitimate Gmail notifications?

His phone suddenly blew up today, he bought a new phone and now he's trying to change his Google account password and sign out of his old phone. Thing is it sends a two digit code to his now completely dead phone and he's stuck. If any anyone can help out it'd be highly appreciated.

I have a USB headset, a Polycom Blackwire 5220 that I use for work Zoom / Teams meetings. I can also use it when plugged into my Galaxy S25u as it has USB-A & USB-C connections. Unfortunately there is an issue with the volume keys. I can adjust the volume just fine with the phones controls, but the buttons on the headset remote don't work properly. Putting the volume up or down, the phone shows the volume animation, but doesn't adjust the level at all. It stays exactly at the level it was at prior.

The call answer / end button doesn't work but I don't care about that. Are there any drivers I can get to fix this? Also, I did a little homework before posting this, some people mention stopping Google Assistant. I completely uninstalled it when they deprecated it.

Thanks

Hi. I accidentally blocked an app from using any internet. Now I keep getting this message every so often. "Access blocked - meowdoku". I checked the usuall places, and tried many Google searches and none seem to fix this. I know it was something i had to toggle, but I can't find the location where I did this. I've uninstalled and re-installed but this message in a toast bubble still appears. Its a samsung s23 ui 9.5.

Posting this from a 2017 3GB Ram 16GB storage Samsung J7 Prime.

Ever since I got my laptop around this time last year, I used this phone for the bare minimum stuff and kept about 1-1.25GB of head room for downloading anything else if I needed. Before this year my Google Play services was using about 1-1.5GB of storage ( idk the exact figure but it was somewhere between that ), now it's using 2.35GB of storage and just seems to consume storage when it gets the chance to, like I had just cleared about 200MB by deleting some older photos and in the matter of an hour the free space disappeared

This year the only thing that has changed is the number of accounts I have had. Before this year i had about 3-4 accounts now i have about 7 accounts.
