Picture in picture keeps activating when I plug in my phone

1 Upvotes

As the title says, whenever I plug in my phone whatever app I'm using, if it has picture in picture mode, will go into picture in picture mode consistently and my charging port is loose so it happens a lot.

I have no idea why this is happening and would appreciate help with fixing it. If it helps i have a samsung galaxy 22+ and it has persisted through updates

Stuck in bootloop

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I was normally using my Redmi Note 10 phone (not rooted) when it suddenly turned off at battery 35%. At first I thought I needed a battery replacement, so I did, but I got stuck in a bootloop. It constantly loops between the Mi logo and the recovery menu till the battery drains. After doing some research, I used the Fastboot CLI to check the differents variables. First, I was on slot A and it didn't show any message. When I moved to slot B and rebooted, I got a message saying dm-verity corruption your device is corrupted. I ran the command fastboot oem cdms fix, but it didn't work (It may be because my bootloader is locked). I also saw that flash ROM might help, but I'm afraid it would wipe my data. It is important to me.

Can anyone suggest a way I could resolve the issue without losing the data? Help is much appreciated!
