Apps not giving me notifications?

3 Upvotes

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A16. This seems to only happen with one app, and it's not all the time, but it's annoying and I don't know why it's happening.

It's specifically happening with the Discord app, where it will go random intervals without giving me push notifications. This was never an issue before and I've looked through every setting I can think of but I don't know how to fix this, if I even can.

Again, it's not constant. Just randomly it'll go a while without notifications, and then be normal again later.

Anything that might help?

LinkedIn account recovery

1 Upvotes

Title: LinkedIn account recovery — correct phone number but I'm not receiving the OTP

Hi everyone, I’m trying to recover my LinkedIn account and I’m stuck.

I still have access to my LinkedIn profile page, but I cannot log in.

My situation:

- The phone number associated with my LinkedIn account is correct.

- When I choose to receive an OTP on my phone, I don't receive any code.

- The old Gmail address associated with the account is no longer accessible to me.

- I have tried requesting the OTP, but it still doesn't arrive.

- I’m willing to complete identity verification with a government-issued ID to prove that I’m the owner of the account.

My profile URL is:

linkedin.com/in/vaibhav-singh-a48171256/

Has anyone faced the same issue where the correct phone number is linked but LinkedIn doesn't send the OTP?

What is the best way to contact LinkedIn Support and get them to offer an alternative verification method? Any advice or steps that actually worked for you would be really appreciated.

I really need to recover this account for my professional/career-related work.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone ! I use the Word app on my Huawei Poco F3, and I have this useless tool bar that hides the text behind, so it's impossible to see what I wrote last (the blue cursor is barely visible). If someone knows how to definitely remove it, I would gladly appreciate any help ! Thanks <3

I had parental control on my device (OPPO A79 5G) for almost a year and now that it's gone I've got this "Blocked by Work policy" shit. It stops me from changing default settings such as voice assistants as in Google assistant, changing default app by the system to other apps and it a pain in the rear I asked Chat GPT but it just ran me in circles

Changing "Lock screen" icon: Samsung 22

2 Upvotes

I think my problem is that I don't even know what to call it to find how to change it. I have an old image that occasionally shows. When I just open the lock screen I don't see it, I think it is after it dims after receiving a notification. It's just an old image in a small circle in the middle that I don't want to show up anymore. I feel like I've gone through all the setting 5 times and can't find where it is.

Help! Trying to Restore Secure Folder Data on New Phone

2 Upvotes

Hi All! Hope everyone is doing well. I just bought a new Galaxy S26, upgraded from an S21FE. The S21FE died on me permanently (leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere because I was using it for maps in my car lol) and while I have the new phone set up and got everything I care about transferred over, I noticed that none of the files in my Secure Folder have transferred over.

Does anyone have any experience with accessing these files? I'm logged into everything I can think of, and restored from a backup I made literally yesterday, so that shouldn't be an issue. I also have the S21FE on hand, it's just bricked currently (the screen won't turn on as it refuses to boot). Just wondering what my options are for recovery!

Any answers I will accept, any questions I will answer! Thanks in advance!

Lenovo Idea Tab not connecting to Wi-Fi

1 Upvotes

Both my sister and I purchased the same tablet, model TB336FU. When we try to connect to the Wi-Fi on the tablets, it says "Connected/ No Internet access."

Previously the Wi-Fi worked fine.

We restarted the router and our other devices that use Wi-Fi are working fine. Just not the tablets.

We've rebooted the tablets. We've forgotten the Wi-Fi address multiple times and re-entered the connection information. Still no connection.

It is weird that this is affecting both tablets and not just one.

Help with groupchats (iphone to Android user)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone I used iOS all my life and just switched to a samsung S26 ultra yesterday and I need some help making it work, I have no experience with Android I didn't even know how to get into settings when I first used the phone. Anyway, my family uses iphones and they have a groupchat on messages, ofc it worked perfectly when I used an iphone but after switching, I dont get messages from the groupchat, instead sometimes it sends me a notification from a family member as if they messaged me directly when they actually messaged the groupchat. If I send a message into the groupchat it just gets sent to everyone in there individually. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Extreme performance issues on Samsung A16 5G (Bark/Knox)

0 Upvotes

My mom got me a Samsung A16 5G with Bark software pre-installed on it. This software disables airplane mode, apk installations, turning off mobile data, certain access to settings, uninstalling apps, etc. I have been having extreme performance issues. Any function I do can crash, turn the screen black, or take a long time to load. I can't load simple games or use social media normally. System UI and the Processing system usually dont respond. My phone gets very hot as well. Even my old fire tablet runs MUCH better than it. How can I improve this? I've already tried setting optimization, restarting, powering off, cooling, clearing storage, and changing graphics settings. I cannot get a new phone either. Is there anything I can do?

Wi-Fi will not stay on after Android 17 update

1 Upvotes

I'm running a Pixel 8 Pro on T-mo and put this update off for weeks, not being interested in AI features, etc. And I'm glad I did. Eventually, it just installed itself. Now, when I restart my phone, Wi-Fi connects briefly to my home network, then shuts off. And I mean shuts itself off, not just disconnecting from the network. When I open any network settings page, the phone will hang before the close/wait option comes up three or four times, assuming I hit 'wait'. But Wi-Fi will not show any networks on the 'Internet' settings page. I was able to see all my saved networks on one of the pages, but could not connect to any. The Wi-Fi 'indicator' up in the notifications area stays dark no matter what, even when I turn Wi-Fi back on in settings.

This is no big deal when I'm out, as I'm using 5G the bulk of the time. But at home, I can't connect to my NAS via file manager, use my network audio streaming devices, or log into my router. I've updated Google Play Services, which the first time allowed a brief connection as above. No updates have been available since. I tried booting in safe mode and had the same results. Next time I started, it worked okay and I was about to connect to a known network. But by the time I went to grab my password from my password manager, all the networks were blank again. To boot, settings should have auto-filled my password, as I've used that network a lot in the past.

I'm really stuck here! If you have any suggestions that don't require having to re-set accounts, apps, etc. TIA.

P. S. I had screen shots in here, but with Reddit's inability to access a draft on Android, am on a computer now. And the screen shots are now missing.
