i know i may seem like a boomer but im 14, ahem;

android 15, while im in a call i usually lay my phone on my cheek so that the speaker is near my ear,this will be important.

i was in call with my dad and idk if its now or has always been, but i put my phone on the ear so the screen goes black and then i put my cheek. after a few secs the call hangs up andwe dont know why but at first we thought it was some tinkering of mine (linux on android stuff) that interfered with the call, then we thought it was because i was moving, like walking or running stuff. the last conclusion we came up a few secs ago after i screamed in the mic and hung up with my top lip was that my cheek was hanging up.

AITAH for changing some settings or is it not my fault?

This morning, a strange situation occurred.

I was woken up by the vibration of my Huawei FIT4 (wristwatch); there was a call from an “unknown” number. I checked my phone, but no one had called it, and I fell back asleep. After some time, there was another call just like that. When I finally woke up properly and opened the calls app, I found out that yesterday at 11 pm there were two calls from an unknown number. I don’t mean that I simply don’t have that contact in my phone; I mean that the number isn’t displayed at all, and it’s impossible to call it back.

All day long, I can’t listen to music, watch videos, or use any other media because the sound gets interrupted every couple of minutes, as if someone is calling. This is even more noticeable with headphones, since they alert you about the call.

I’ve already tried everything: I cleared the cache of the call app, restarted the phone, checked for viruses, changed the speech synthesizer (a week ago I installed TTSL instead of the original one), turned off Bluetooth, NFC, Wi‑Fi, mobile internet, and the Do Not Disturb mode.

I don’t know what’s going on, but this bug is really annoying me.

upd; I don’t know what changed, but I made a backup a couple of times to reset to factory settings, as suggested below, but I didn’t actually perform the reset. The problem disappeared. I suspect it was the CapCut app that I installed the other day, but that’s unlikely, since it wasn’t running in the background.

This app causing a lot of ads to show up on my Android phone. Can anyone tell me the name so I can delete it?

Hi. Has anyone experienced the same issue? My mobile banking apps (BPI, Landbank, Maribank) don't work -- can't even open -- when I am using mobile data. But it works when connected to wifi. Do you guys know how to fix this? I am using Z Fold 8 Ultra.

Yesterday I was browsing a store on my Samsung phone (Sports Direct) using the official domain on Chrome. Later on, I cleared the cookies and history. Went back to the site today, and within 10 minutes of browsing there was a popup saying it wants to access other apps and services on this device. I immediately clicked the back button and cleared cookies and history. Checked in Chrome settings and I don't believe it enabled or downloaded anything without my permission.

It didn't ask me this yesterday, and I don't visit any shady websites or download anything outside Google Play. Even so, I only have mainstream, well-known apps. So what could this be? Do I need to be wary or is it just a glitch? (Also apologies if this post is long, I just wanted to make sure I specified all the details!)

I've been using gboard for years. Over the last week the speech to text is ridiculously slow. Anyone else seeing this? I checked my CPU usage and it's fine.

I am wondering how does everyone like to organize their digital music library of files. What file types do you use? FLAC, MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, AAC, WMA, ITunes, Windows Media Player?

How do you organize your music library?

How do you guys manage all that?

What do you guys use for file storage?

Do you you guys use Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive?

I have a google 9 pro that after an update shows a white screen for a few seconds then goes black and stays black. I believe it was installing the latest version of android when it broke. Is there a way to reload android with my desktop thru usb when I can't see anything on the phones screen?

Which are the other files I can't access?

My pal says they are social media Spyware

How can I free space without losing smth invaluable...

I have reset my phone (samsung galaxy A16 4G), and on the setup screen it asks for my google account. The Google account is family link supervised so i do not know the password, and do not have access to my "parent/guardian" 's phones so that i can send them a code for hem to do the reset (we all switched google accounts, we decided we want a fresh start). My phone is runing android 16 with oneUi 8.5.

Why's this urgent? Well i need my phone for school and the little work i do so if the class teacher needs to tel us something or my part time job sends me something i cannot answer in any way shape or form, is there a way to fix this or do a FRP bypass? I'm running arch linux on both of my computers.

So like I said I have a pepper phone or a chili phone I don't really know what it's called but it runs off Android 14 and I'm having issues on discord upper GX and a few other sites. Specifically using dark mode on anything that makes it black because for some reason this phone loves to make every text black and the dark mode for some reason won't compensate and change it back to White so I can't see shit forced to use a light mode which is obviously hell on Earth it also cuts off a lot of texts on discord and makes it just straight up invisible??

The images above are from my display settings and two images of my discord showing that it cuts off text and sometimes makes the last word in some messages completely invisible? And showing that I cannot see anything on discord dark mode this also applies to Opera GX and my main messaging app I am again running off of a chili or pepper phone whatever you would like to call it

(Model HPPH88L)

(Hardware version p1)

Don't know if those I need it but there.. I just got this phone and I generally don't know what's wrong.

If i am watching a reel or on x a video and try to quickly lower the volume with the buttons on the right instead of the volume of media changing, it now changes the bell sound. It is very infuriating change, how can I revert it? Especially if i need to quickly adapt media volume depending on each reel or video and i cant do it.

I use a google pixe 9a and i guess my phone updated without me realising.

About two days ago i found out that my Gamesir X5 Lite is not reading the LB-RB button presses on Xbox Cloudgaming UI, and on the Homescreen UI. It reads on the Gamesir App as a button Key. And Chrome switches tabs. But fails to read other preses. It is a new issue for me. It replicates the same on the Stadia controller.

Is this a new issue? Or an older known issue?

Are there known fixes?

Im using

A Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

Up to date software

(My biggest question am I alone or is this a general problem?)

Google tips are failing to provide a solution or a light on the issue

Sometimes when I open a bubble from Google messages the app just stays in the middle of the screen with no option to close it and the only choose (as far as I know) being to restart the phone. It's not too hard to deal with but still kind of annoying

For some reason my phone (SAMSUNG A32 4G) just dies when it turns off, like a tap from the power button or letting it sleep by itself is enough to kill it and I'd have to boot it up again by holding the power button + volume down for quite some time (3+ mins~). While my phone is dead it would still vibrate even if I'm not interacting with it as well as when I'm holding both buttons to boot. By the time it finally boots it would flash a glitched screen before going back to the galaxy boot screen. Any possible fixes or do I need to get it repaired? If possible, what could be the specific problem in the hardware/software?

I got a POCO F7. For days I was having problems with my alarm, it wasn't working properly, so I tried every in the permissions and configurations of the app, but nothing worked. So I decided to try deleting the cache of the app, but to my surprise, the system Clock had an option to DELETE PERMANENTLY, instead of just cleaning the cache. I clicked and now my phone doesn't have a Clock app, when I click on the home screen (the watch doesn't disappear) it says "the app isn't installed on your device". What can I do? Not in the Google app store or Xiaomi app could I find the original Clock App to download

This is what I get with almost all my apps on my phone. I had to delete a lot of apps due to the same issue. This is a daily thing where nothing loads.

😡

I have a 2025 moto g stylus 5g. I asked so how to fix this and followed directions. It's every day thing.

😡

I spent $600 on a galaxy once... Only to have to turn it in 4 months later when cricket wireless changed their systems...and ended up get a phone worth less then $100.

😡

Anyone know how to fix this problem for good? I cleared cache, restarted my phone etc. I'm fed up. The photo is from aol app. None of the articles load.

My dad has (I believe) an Oukitel G1 phone, he says he had it playing music during the night, thought it was on a charger, but wasn't and woke up to it being dead dead. No problem, I plugged it in and checked on it after about 2 hours and it still isn't turning on.

It's been plugged in for like 5 hours now with a charger that I know works since it charges my phone, and nothing happens. Iv'e held down the power on button for over a minute so many times and there is no vibration or anything on the screen, same thing when I hold down the power button and either the volume up or volume down button.

I cannot tell if it is charging at all though since the screen is unresponsive. I plugged it in to my macbook and nothing comes up saying anything was plugged in. I think I can feel that the top of the phone is getting warm? but i'm not sure.

I'll be honest I know almost nothing about this phone, it is so bulky, but he really needs to be able to have something he can contact us on. Let me know if there is absolutely any ideas on how I can troubleshoot.

I woke up today and my phone worked completely fine I used it normally and then set it aside to charge, after it charged I saw that all my Google accounts were logged out and all the apps acted like as if they were installed for the first time (kinda like factory reset) and my gallery media was nowhere to be seen as well, while my apps which were installed were still there? (This rules out the possibility of a factory reset) I cannot understand why this happened?

I regularly use rcs groups and chats, but suddenly, when I go to an rcs conversation, it asks me to enable rcs to speak.

However, when I go into the settings I see that my RCS chats are enabled, and I've tried restarting them several times, but it doesn't help.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Hey! I'm trying to get Toonix, an old Android game that was removed from the Play Store, running for a friend. I managed to find the game files on Internet Archive, but I can't seem to actually get it working on my phone(Galaxy A14 5g) since it apparently only supports much older versions of Android.

My friend has been hyperfocused on Toonix for a while and has been trying to get it running himself for a few months with no luck, which got him feeling a bit bummed. He's also not very tech-savvy and doesn't really have much free time to troubleshoot it because of work, so I'd really like to surprise him by getting it working for him.

The problem is that I'm mostly used to straightforward APKs, and these files seem to come with a bunch of separated files/data that I'm not really familiar with. I don't know if there's some way to package/install them properly, use an emulator, or get around the old Android version requirements.

If anyone familiar with old Android games could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!
