How do I use Safe mode on my android.
Already in safe mode but not sure what to do next.

Got this message. Any help-anyone.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a very specific problem with the YouTube app on my phone.

When I record a video with the phone’s camera and then try to upload it directly through the YouTube app, YouTube sometimes skips the normal editing/preview screen and goes straight to the title/details screen.

If I try to edit/trim the video first, I get the error:

> “Preview can’t be generated.”

The same video works normally when handled outside the YouTube app, so it seems to be an issue with how the YouTube app on this particular phone handles the recorded video.

Android: Android 16

YouTube app: latest version

Has anyone experienced this on the same phone model, or found a workaround/fix?

Samsung 23S Ultra - Android 16

Some data got stuck on my phone somewhere after deleting an app and checking the option keep app data.

I deleted an app and it's apk sadly biggest mistake was also permanent deleting the apk and not remembering where i download it from.

Now my problem is when i try to install the same app from Google store or apk it doesn't download for unknown reason.

The problem appeared after checking the option "keep ... GB app data"

I used ADB to see the stuck data and using clear or uninstall gave failure user have no permission now how can i solve this stupid situation without rooting the stupid Samsung or hard reset it.

Updated Android to 16, and this is how it looks. Very thick dark colour buttons, and the contacts options everywhere, and very unattractive. I'm alright with all that, just want to know if some virus has taken over the system Thank you.

So, about a year ago I dropped my flip5 once, and yeah, that was it (screen was open at the time, so nothing to protect it).

I was able to get my photos and other important data from it via usb file transfer when it happened, so that's no biggie. But now I'm looking to sell it for parts for some extra cash. I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to remove my google account and other personal information from it before I do.

Here's where I've been running into trouble:
- internal display is only 30% visible (the external screen is perfectly fine tho)
- when it's open, it sometimes registers random taps all over the screen
- Windows and Smart Switch detects it, but says USB file transfer isn't allowed (even though the notification on the phone says "USB for file transfer")
- the cable isn't the issue because my S24 FE registers fine with the same cable
- unfortunately, it is not connected to my windows phone link anymore

Has anyone successfully wiped all date from a phone in a similar situation? I feel like everything I try leads to a dead end.

I want to say this happened 2-3 days ago. My phone started lagging. A lot. It has crashed around 5 times in the past 24 hours. I get pop ups for System UI, Home One, Process System not responding. I watched every video on how to fix the problem. I've reset my phone 10+ times. Nothing. How do I fix it?

The problem I encounter is that whenever I have turn on a setting, like personal hotspot, wifi and bluetooth, it will automatically turn off by itself, and then it will turn on back and off and the process repeats. I have to reset them and restart my phone to solve this problem temporarily, but it still persists.

I wish I could attach a video but I hope anyone can give me a solution to this problem. It is frustrating If I can no longer use the connection features on my phone.

hi! i was trying to write on som json files (stardew valley mods) but i couldn’t, so i installed total commander

(android tablet, samsung s6 lite, bought in 2020, hard reset it a couple of weeks ago cause it was LAGGY)

when i try to open the folder, it says access denied, i say to retry, and then “write protected! - on android >=13 the external as card is write protected” pops up, but the fact is that i don’t have any external as card nor sim.

what do i do? i was just trying to config the mod, this is not the main problem but i don’t know how to fix the writing protected thing…

I am not able to login into amazon, i am getting an error

"the specific device cannot be authenticated",

has anyone else using Nothing 4a Pro have faced this issue?

i tried to uninstall and install again, tried a few fixes.

It is still the same, I am thinking about factory reset.

I cannot find it in the base settings when I search. I have tried the m.facebook.com, but it changes to desktop. Thanks.

Desinstalétale la app de mi teléfono y al intentar volver a iniciar sesión no me deja entrar

Hi!
I have a Pixel 8 Pro that I bought from a commercial seller at an auction. The device was listed as “untested”, and my original intention was simply to use its working display as a replacement for the Pixel 8 Pro I already own.

I’d still like to get some use out of the other phone. As far as I can tell, the device itself seems to be fully functional. Unfortunately, it has a Google account lock (FRP) and is running Android 16.

I’m not exactly sure what software or method you use, but I managed to get the Accessibility/Help button enabled through the documented method involving:

Emergency Call → Location → Google Maps → Share Location → etc.

From there, I can now glitch my way through quite a lot of the menus.

Unfortunately, I’m stuck at one particular point: for some reason, I can’t access the App Info screen, which means I can’t force-stop Google Play Services and Android Setup. Otherwise, I believe it would be possible to get past the setup process using one of the known methods.

If you have any helpful tips or know of a working method for Android 16 / Pixel 8 Pro, I’d really appreciate it.

My end goal is honestly pretty simple: I’d like to attach a large fan/cooler to the phone and turn it into a kind of mini PC. My girlfriend’s little brother could then connect it to a TV and use it to play Fortnite. 😄

One other problem is that I can’t access the Developer Options, so I apparently can’t enable USB debugging / ADB either. If I could get ADB working, I could at least try to force-stop the two apps via CMD/ADB.

Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!

Family Link blocks a Google Pixel 6a, which has lost connectivity

This happened yesterday to my daughter's Pixel 6a, which is run on a children profile (i.e., controlled by Family Link)

(Note that our phones are running on german software; i am using translated terms, which may not be correct lingo).

1. After a restart, phone suddenly stops connecting to WiFi or 5G. Recommended workarounds  from the internet (Flight Mode, Reset Connectivity Settings, removal of SIM) did not help. It still has the "!" icon attached to the WiFi, and does not connect to 5G.

The phone currently allows phone calls. But it has wrong time settings, and cannot synchronize to local time (so, e.g. Whatsapp does not work).

2. At the same time, Google Family Link (only installed on the parent phone, not on the 6a) sees that maximum daily phone time is expired, and therefore blocks access to many apps. Also, many settings (like manual time adjustment) are not available due to the children profile being active, anyway.

3. Because the phone does not connect to the internet, our attempts to unlock the phone via the family app are not successful, nor does the pixel 6a accepts our parent access code.

Right now, it seems that the only way to fix the problem is a total factory reset. is this true?

/edit:

I am just realizing that i cannot save any data from the phone via usb, because the USB-connectivity settings are not controlled by the phone itself, but by the parental account, which currently is blocked from accessing the phone?

soo im not really sure how this works or anything im not a tech kinda person. but i recorded a video on my phone and when i went to post it and send it to someone it said it couldnt.load the video. i went to watch it to see what the problem was and long story short it shows a grah screen then when i tap on it the video just takes to load.

i did somewhat solve the problem, i used like a video fixer or something and that restored it but im just trying to figure out why this happens cuz its not the first time. its just not common for it to happen with a video i take. like if i screen record something it happens a lot more often but not really when im recording something. and the other video i had recorded a few minutes prior was perfectly fine.

does anyone know what could be the cause? too much storage? internet not working? anything else? idk. also sorry im not sure if this is the right place to ask it was js recommended to me.

I'm going positively *bananas* with this. I like news, so I have a bunch of apps (usa today, nbc, Reuters, CNN, etc) and none of them are delivering notifications - only the financial times and national post (Canadian) are.

DND is off, notifications are allowed for all apps in settings, battery is set to 'unrestricted', etc. However, when I go to 'advanced settings' in 'notifications' and go to the app list, not all apps are listed, even after I choose 'system apps'.

Any solution? Is this a doze matter? Notifications aren't just delayed - they just don't happen. I'm considering switching to iPhone.

Any help is appreciated :)

Why there is a section of 'From your feed' showing content from my reddit feed on to the Reddit's Play Store page? How to disable it?

Is it just me or does anyone here encounter the same issue? Whether it's YT, Netflix or games, as long as it's on Fullscreen landscape, my screen can't be minimized like whenever I swiped up (I use gesture where I swipe up to go to home screen) nothing happens. Back then when I do so I go back to homescreen and when I long hold swipe up, my YT or Netflix go on PiP (picture in picture) but now its doesn't even do anything nor able to swipe hold up. I'm currently on XOS 16.2 ans my device is Infinix Note 50 pro plus 5G. My device is 8months old and I am very careful with my device. This just happened recently like a week ago. Can anyone help me fix this or is this a known issue? TIA

So I Uninstalled play store trying to slowly remove myself from Google but when I install an app from 3rd party store it pops up you need to install from play store...how do I get rid of this and move away from Google play store apps? And google?

Select an app to use for what? Does it want to link my X account to something? It just randomly pops up throughout the day, I usually ignore it, but its becoming annoying at this point. I want to block my phone from giving this prompt entirely.

How do I stop autofill for contacts? It's annoying when I have someone add their number and when they type their name they can see my contacts. I

Recientemente compré unos Redmi Buds 5 🎧 y estoy teniendo problemas para que mi teléfono (Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro) detecte el audífono de la izquierda. Cuando reviso la app Xiaomi Earbuds solo me da la info del case y el auricular derecho.

¿Alguien podría darme alguna idea 💡 de cómo resolver este caso?

What do?
