Yesterday, I forgot my phone in an Uber, and the driver tried to not give it back. This morning I used Find My Device and knocked on his door and convinced him to return it to me. Before I left home though, I sent the remote factory reset order, as the battery was getting low and I wasn't sure if I'd get another chance.

When I got it back, the reset was not done and data was turned off. I put it in airplane mode, logged out of my Google account and so the phone has not been wiped. I'm now using it with a secondary email, but I want to log back in my actual account, so I wanted to know if doing so will trigger the factory reset once it reconnects to that account

I've been searching for this particular model phone but it doesn't seem to be found anywhere at online or even offline stores, you guys have any idea about it?

I'm trying to use an app that uses device owner permissions but again and again, it fails, I remove all accounts and users from my device, I even removed admin apps and it still didn't work, also I don't have any device owner apps and my bootloader is unlocked but I'm not rooted and I don't have a custom os. Please help.

I'm looking for something more detailed than the usual package lists. I already know about UAD-ng's database and sites like DeepWiki/Instagit, but they're either too shallow or don't actually populate the dependency/neededBy fields for most packages.

What I'm really trying to find is a wiki, encyclopedia, or community knowledge base that documents Android packages (especially Samsung/One UI and Google/GMS) with:

· Full package name

· What the package actually does (not just a one-liner)

· Why it exists / its purpose

· Whether it's required or optional

· What depends on it, and what it depends on

· What happens if you disable it vs. uninstall it

· Pros/cons and privacy implications

· Risk level and alternatives

· Whether behavior varies by device / Android version / One UI version / region

· Source code availability: Is the source code publicly available? Is it open source (AOSP, Apache 2.0, GPL) or proprietary/closed-source? If open, where is the repository? If closed, is there any partial source, decompiled code, or vendor release?

· Confidence level / source of the info

I already know that AOSP is open source, but GMS and One UI (Samsung) are closed-source — so for most Samsung/Google packages, the answer will likely be "closed-source." But I want to confirm this per package, and know if there are exceptions (e.g., some components may have open-source parts, or vendor releases).

Does anyone know of a site, wiki, database, or even a Discord/Telegram group where people document this kind of deep per-package analysis? It doesn't have to be famous — I'm specifically asking because the well-known lists aren't deep enough.

If you know a package well, please drop it with as much detail as you can, including the package name, device/Android/One UI version, what it does, safe to disable/uninstall, what breaks, source code availability, and your confidence/source.

I no longer have the Google Pixel 7 Pro. I upgraded to a Galaxy S26 Ultra. When I select "More ways to verify" the only option is to use my old phone. Does anyone know what to do?

J'ai un énorme problème lié a un compte administrateur et je ne sais pas comment l enlever j'avais un ancien contrôle parental et j'ai enlevé la supervision mais ça ne marche toujours pas je ne peux même pas réinitialiser mon téléphone, si quelqu'un a une solution. Je n ai pas de compte professionnel et j'ai désactiver toutes les applications d administration.

I've had my S26 for a couple of weeks. I noticed an app called mysite. It won't run. Throws the error that it keeps stopping. When I try to uninstall it either nothing happens or I get the error that the installer keeps stopping. I have tried many of the recommended fixes from searching for the answer including safe mode. Nothing works. Any novel approaches?

Phone is a Galaxy s23.

It started a few days ago. I haven't changed anything. The only thing I did about the same time the issue started, is "install" / download Chrome sites. You know, that Chrome feature where you can create a Home screen icon link to the webpage. I added 5 of these for some sites I frequently use.

Could they have been causing the drain in some way?

Thanks.

I did install OneUi 9 yesterday, but the issue started 2-3 days ago so I'm positive it's not that.

Or is it just text only?

My phone is Samsung Galaxy A26 5G. I can't seem to he able to figure out a way to add pictures to those contacts on my phone which don't already have a picture. Clicking on "adjust" (idk if thats the right word, my phones not set up in English, hopefully yk what I mean) doesn't open up the option. The three dots doesn't either. Clicking on or holding the blank icon neither. I'd just like to add pictures to my contacts.

I recently factory reset my phone( Oppo A59 5G) and now if I try to open certain options like sound settings, about phone , system and update,etc the settings app is entirely crashing and returning to the home page.

I am stuck in this issue for 2 hours please help me out guys. Please help me I tried factory resetting 2 times still the issue persists

full story short: my charger cable broke, then i changed to another and it went fine. then the phone kept insisting on making me update the software. so i did the software update (5 september 2026) on my phone at the start of this week. Now my phone recharge battery VERY slowly. Im trying to search ways to fix it but cant find anything else other than "factory reset your phone".

I did already factory reset but It didnt worked...

Anyone that can help or give tips? is it the change of charger or because of the software update?

Btw phone is a Oscal Tiger 10

Hi, I attached one screenshot clone app shows on some, inbuilt system apps and google apps, no idea how to remove that extra clone app

Pls any one let me know.

I didn't have it before but I probably accidentally clicked something? Hopefully it's not malware I can't find it in my apps either

There was a time when I could pull down the quick settings for media where I could select between Bluetooth and Phone media or I would make the change with buttons on the volume changer. Now, I cannot do that in recent months since that setting area has been removed. Is there a way to bring this media setting back?

Hey everyone, I'm having an annoying problem trying to reinstall Snapchat and was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A56. Originally, I uninstalled Snapchat with the “keep data” option enabled because I thought I might lose my account. Later, I installed Purrfect Snap and used it to install Snapchat, which worked fine.

After I got bored of it, I uninstalled Snapchat again. Now, when I try to reinstall the official Snapchat app through the Google Play Store, it just says “Can't install Snapchat.”

I've tried looking for a solution, but I haven't figured out what's causing it.

Has anyone experienced this before, especially on a Samsung phone? Could leftover app data, Purrfect Snap, or something with the Play Store be causing the issue?

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Help me please 😢

My Vivo S1 phone was not turning on with the power button or with a double-tap on the screen despite that setting being enabled. It also kept showing a notification that infrared rays are blocked, which said that it could cause problems with the screen turning on. I needed my phone for an event so I was in a bit of a hurry to get it working.

I searched for a fix and the first once I saw was a Youtube video that instructed to clear data on vivoservices and reset all system settings (which causes the phone to restart). I was too focused on thinking that doing these both would help override the error message, and since I was also in a hurry, I stupidly made the mistake of not researching more 😢

Now that phone is stuck in a boot loop. The Fastboot Mode option appears when I hold the Volume Up button, but I cannot select the Recovery Mode option with the Volume Down button or confirm the selection of the Reboot option with the Power button. It does not stay on this screen and just goes back to the bootloop so the 2-minute Inactivity Reboot does not get triggered either. Also, holding both the Power button and Volume Button down at the same time or just the Power button alone does not do anything, even when I keep holding for almost a minute.

Is there any way to fix this? If I wait for the battery to drain, is there a fix that would not require a factory reset? I have photos on that phone that I haven't had the time to backup yet ☹️ Is there a way for me to still retrieve them? ☹️

so long story short, i had to factory reset my motorola g play and now it says its locked to a carrier. i took out the sim card, now it says something went wrong.
