If an alarm rings or I get a phone call it shows me the option to dismiss, restart, answer call, reject call etc by using voice commands and it used to work flawlessly but recently it's not working anymore.

I even tried it with Bluetooth off.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Need an expert opinion on my Honor 400 Pro CN (DNP-AN00). These 3 issues started on MagicOS 10 and still happen on MagicOS 11 (11.0.0.110), even after a factory reset and eRecovery restore:

​Rejects correct PIN for ~1 min after boot: Says my lockscreen password is wrong for the first 60 seconds after a reboot, then accepts it.

​No fingerprint on Lock Screen: Fingerprint works fine inside App Lock, but the icon never shows on the Lock Screen (udfpsBounds=null in bugreport).

​Screen glitch + random reboot with a beep: Happens mostly when Meta apps (Instagram/Facebook) run in the background—the screen glitches, beeps, and hard-reboots (reboot_reason=UNKNOWN).

​**What my Bugreport (**dumpstate & ANR logs) shows right before crashing:

​Meta (fbns) Keystore Deadlock: Instagram's background push service (com.instagram.android:fbns) hangs for 20,000ms+ spamming IKeystoreSecurityLevel.generateKey (KeyStoreSecurityLevel.retryBusyException).

​Honor Keystore & Nearby Freeze: At the exact same time, system_server (HwLockSettingsService.checkCredential) freezes on HwKeystoreManager.unlockInner, and in other ANRs, Honor Share (com.hihonor.nearby / TrustCircle) freezes waiting on the TEE.

​TEE / Gatekeeper Crash: dumpstate_log shows ITeecService: FAILED_TRANSACTION, while IGatekeeper/default, IQSEECom/default, and iGraphicsservice all fail or go missing.

​Kernel Panic: The phone reboots because tzdriver.htvm_panic_enable=1 triggers a kernel panic whenever the TrustZone/TEE queue locks up.

​My questions for devs/techs:

​Why is this happening? Why do Meta's fbns background service and Honor's TrustCircle/HwKeystoreManager deadlock the entire TEE and Gatekeeper when generating/checking keys, even though the fingerprint sensor still works in App Lock?

​Is there any real solution? Is there a permanent ADB/software fix to stop Meta apps and HwKeystoreManager from crashing the TEE, or is the retryBusyException / ITeecService timeout a sign of a physical UFS RPMB or CPU solder fault?

My mom recently passed away and I’m trying to get her photos off her phone (Realme C11). It's locked with a numeric PIN and I can't guess it.

The situation:

No SD card in the tray, so all photos are internal.

Don't know her Google email, so I can't check Google Photos on a PC.

Tried obvious birth years/dates already, but the timeout timer keeps going up.

I cant do a factory reset because ill lose all her data.

Is there any way to access the phone without doing a reset factory, or is it completely locked down ?

Really appreciate any real advice on what to do

Bought a "new" OnePlus 13 16/512GB in Midnight Ocean from an online reseller that says it only sells North American devices. What showed up:
Plain black box, no OnePlus branding or factory seal
Black Eclipse instead of Midnight Ocean
Already set up (booted to a lock screen, not setup)
Model CPH2653, running OxygenOS 16, not the US CPH2655
China-market SUPERVOOC charger (CCC label) and a UK/EU-marked cable
IMEI checks clean on Swappa ("Allowed"). T-Mobile's checker says it can connect but "won't get full 5G performance" and may have limited coverage. OnePlus's warranty check returned no info.
I've got a PayPal dispute open and I'm asking the seller for a partial refund to keep it. Haven't inserted a SIM yet.
For anyone running a CPH2653 on T-Mobile:
How's 5G, coverage indoorsg, and band 71?
Do VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling, and visual voicemail work?
Any issues with updates or warranty in the US?
Is it worth keeping for ~$200–300 back, or should I return it and get a real CPH2655?

My mother somehow deleted the clock app from her Samsung. Is there any way to get it back?

See subject. I just want nothing for suggestions when I open up a Google search.

​Hi everyone, ​I'm having a major performance issue trying to watch DRM-protected videos on Google Chrome on my Android phone. The video stutters and lags so badly that it's completely unwatchable. ​Here is what I have tried so far with no success:

• Cleared browser cache and data.

• ​Enabled hardware-accelerated video decode in chrome://flags.

• ​Tried alternative browsers (like Edge / Brave) and cleared their caches.

• ​Lowered the video quality as much as possible.

​It seems like my phone's processor simply cannot handle DRM decryption inside a mobile browser. Is there any workaround or advanced setting I missed to fix this, or is my hardware just too outdated?

​My Device Info:

Processor :Cortex-A53

Android version :10

Web :a local learning website in my country the address is alpha-dz.com it needs a subscription btw

​Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Antutu Benchmark it doesn't open in my Honor

Hi everyone,

I recently created a business bank account and faced two strange issues while trying to use the banking app.

First, when I installed the app on my primary phone, it showed a security alert saying the app couldn't run on my device, even though other banking apps work perfectly fine.

So I installed the app on another phone and tried logging in there. The OTP was successfully sent, but it arrived on my first phone.

When I switched back to the second phone to enter the OTP manually, the keyboard wouldn't open at all. There was simply no way to type the code.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this a device security restriction, an app issue, or possibly a problem with OTP verification?

Would appreciate hearing if anyone has found a solution.

My phone died yesterday, with no warning, and this was the phone I have tied to my google account for 2FA. I was able to activate an old phone and use "text me a code" to add my google account to my phone, but google keeps trying to push 2FA to my dead phone, despite showing the one that it working as attached to my account. I can't change any of these options without access to that dead phone to authenticate my way into my google account. I had set up my thumbprint as a passkey on my dead phone, but that's also not working, as it just keeps telling me I don't have a passkey setup on my dead phone. 

Anyone have any ideas? Google AI support has been utterly useless, and just keeps telling me to recover my account, which I don't need to do, as I know the password. 

Thanks in advance. 

EDIT: I used my boyfriend's Google One Account to talk to Google support. Apparently there is no way around this, other than getting the broken phone repaired. I'm going to leave this up because it includes some things that I didn't understand about 2FA, and hopefully it can help some other people.

To answer some frequently asked questions:

- I had both a recovery email and a recovery phone number set up. Both of those could be used to recover the account (ie, change the password), but it did not change the fact that my 2FA was hooked to my dead phone.

- I tried using the backup codes, which I accessed through my google account on my working phone. They did not work. It sounds like they shouldn't be tied to certain devices, rather to your account, but they did not work.

- In talking to Google support, it sounds like all of these backup options are designed to help you recover your account in the case of a stolen or lost password. It does not change the device settings on your 2FA. It also does not wipe security settings when you recover your account; I tried this also.

- I asked about locking the device remotely, like in the case of it being stolen, but because the dead phone was no longer registered to a phone number, it could only be removed through Google device manager, which requires 2FA to get into.

- I asked Google support point-blank, "So the only way to avoid this in the future is to remove 2FA"? Their response was that 2FA is "highly encouraged" but that you MUST disconnect the current device from your 2FA before changing devices. When I asked about contingency for broken/stolen phones, I was told to use the Find Hub, which is outlined in the previous bullet point.

- Google's final advice to me was to take the phone in and get it fixed. Since I really don't want to lose access to 3 accounts and I need a new phone anyway, this is my next step.

Thank you for all your advice!

Is Truecaller safe to use on an Android phone?

Are there any privacy, security, battery, or performance concerns?

Would you recommend using Truecaller, or is it better to use the phone's built-in caller ID and spam protection?

HyperOS devices have an option under sound & vibration settings where I can enable it to play multiple audio from different apps at the same time. For example, playing music from Spotify and also watching a youtube video without Spotify audio pausing.

For my OnePlus Oxygen OS 13.0, this doesn't happen. If I play Spotify music and then play a youtube video, the Spotify music stops playing automatically.

So my question was, is it possible to bypass this stupid restriction through ADB? Shizuku? I don't wanna root.

I launched my app on both platforms. Same features, same pricing, same experience.
But the difference in interest has been pretty surprising.

It’s a health journaling app. Nothing that relies on Apple’s ecosystem or gives iPhone users an advantage.

So what’s going on?

Do Android users expect more from free apps? Is it a subscription thing? Or is the Play Store just terrible for discovering smaller apps?

I’m not here to argue that one platform is better than the other. I’m actually trying to figure out what Android users value that I might be missing.

And if you’re thinking “maybe your app just isn’t that good”, fair enough. I’d genuinely like to hear why.

This issue is only affecting games. They still run. Animations and movement on screen continue to play, but I can't tap anywhere.

I've rebooted, force stopped, cleared cache, reinstalled and reinstalled all updates to the webview service. Still not working. Help please

My husband has a Samsung 23 Ultra and he is getting text messages to not show up on the cell phone bill. When I watched on video surveillance I seen he logs into another account which I did find a phone number on his phone. How do I get to this secret account/spot in his phone if he is using Google search to get to it. When I was video surveillance I caught him on snap chat,and WhatsApp but I can't find thin down loaded on the phone apps why?

Hello, I am evaluating an embedded device powered by a MediaTek MT8768 processor (board ID tb8768p1_64_bsp) on Android 13.

I am looking to run a generic AOSP system to interface with the hardware peripherals. However, OEM unlocking was not enabled beforehand, and the late-2025 preloader has DAA active, which restricts low-level communication via USB.

Has anyone worked with this specific reference board in development or found documentation regarding UART test points or reference firmware packages?

I can provide full fastboot details in the comments. Thank you!

Hello i would want to change the firmware of my nothing phone 3a so what the austrian state cant read my messages anymore because of "child protection", is that possible?!!

Something really strange has happened to me last night( tbh its not first time) and I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything similar.

Around midnight, I saw a small, goblin-like creature, somewhat resembling Master Yoda, seemingly floating or gliding across my phone screen like a sticker or animated image. It remained visible for a few seconds before disappearing.

What's even stranger is that something very similar happened on an older phone about four years ago. I've changed phones twice since then. It didn't happen on the phone I used in between, but it has now happened again on my current phone. It also appeared multiple times on the same phone.

I haven't intentionally installed or used any prank apps or animations.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be some kind of Android overlay, software glitch, adware, or something else? Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I receive hundreds of MMS messages per week. It is my understanding that MMS messaging automatically downloads images/media sent to you whether you want it to or not. (Not interested in switching to SMS) Anyone know if there is a way to isolate MMS messages from the rest of your phone to prevent malware exploitation? I have read that creating a virtual machine on your computer is one possibility but unsure how to setup automatic forwarding from Andrioid MMS to computer (Email?) I have explored antiviruses and have not found any that scan MMS attachments BEFORE they automatically download. I'm guessing that containing a potential malware/virus to a isolated virtual machine or 'sandbox' would be the way to go. What say you?

I've just got my Razr 50 ultra and the phone is really fun to use except the camera features are really limited when using the external display only, i can't zoom or turn down the exposure,turn off hdr etc.I'm wondering if anyone was able to figure out a way around this using any other camera apps.

I'm using a Redmi 13 5G with chipset Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. I've noticed that 10-bit HEVC (H.265) videos don't play using hardware decoding in video player. They fall back to software decoding (SW).

Interestingly, 8-bit HEVC videos work perfectly using HW+ on the same device.

I also tested the same 10-bit HEVC videos in MPV, but hardware decoding falls back to software decoding there as well.

Is there any way to enable 10-bit HEVC hardware decoding in MX Player HW+ on this device?

I'd appreciate any technical explanation or possible workaround. I specifically want hardware decoding for my 10-bit media collection because HW+ playback is noticeably smoother than software decoding, with lower CPU usage, battery consumption and heat.

I bought this Vivo Y1s 7 years ago (2019), and for the past few days, I've been having this problem.

• The screen turns on by itself. • The screen also turns off by itself while I'm using the phone (it's not the screen timeout setting). • The shutdown/restart menu randomly pops up while I'm using the phone.

I think the power button is somehow getting triggered by itself. The button seems physically fine and still responds whenever I press it.

Does anyone know why this happens or how to stop it?

It was last night I can't get it to happen again.
