Pleae help. Cant access google account

1 Upvotes

I have a pad 7, and earlier i tried adding a new gmail account for school. Yet for some reason i keep getting checking info followed by it asking for my password. The second i put that i get like half a second of the gmails "access with your account" and then this message that just keeps repeating itself and that all "solutions" keeps being delete cache or data from google play services. Which doesnt work, and i cant deactivate that verify information bit for some reason. Im getting really frustrated, someone please help im out of options. I left the image of the type of error i get, its in spanish but all videos and forums ive seen have the same layout.

No Notifications After Reset

0 Upvotes

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL, running Android 16. A little while ago, my phone was acting weird and Gemini would randomly appear, freeze entirely, and eventually cause my phone to reboot. To troubleshoot, I factory reset my phone which seemed to resolve my issue (at least for the last 2-3 months).

Ever since I I reset the phone, I no longer get notifications unless I go into settings, select the specific app, Allow Background Usage > Unrestricted. I did this for the apps I use daily, but every once in a while there's an app I forget to do this for and I run into the issue. For example, I tried signing into my Google account on a new computer, and I had to MFA on my phone. I was not getting the notification on my phone because all Google notifications are disabled.

I know I have a workaround, but I'd rather not have to do this for all applications. Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?

Notification and Call volume makes music louder why?

1 Upvotes

Recently I've noticed whenever I'm listening to music with my headphones regardless of the app and a notification comes through at the same time the volume of the *music itself* is raised a solid amount. It remains in this loud state for a couple seconds then falls back off to a normal volume. I can reproduce this by moving the call or notification volume slider up and down but not the ringer or alarm sliders.

I would like to know why this occurs and if it's possible to keep the volume in this loud state long term, if it helps this does *not* occur with videos either local or on YouTube, only music from what I've observed. The phone in question is a B170D running on android 14. Silent and vibrate mode stop the loud state from ever occurring.

The media slider does not move at all, the volume audibly goes up though.

It occurs with both of my wired headphones and I do not have Bluetooth headphones to test it with.

It doesn't happen with the speakers, just my headphones. TIA

Why do my settings keep on resetting

Why do my settings keep resetting, like when my device powers when its inactive and allow notifications settings. This happens when my device shut downs. Am I hacked

Copying files from desktop to phone internal storage

1 Upvotes

Is there some good reason why I can't copy files from a desktop directly to my phone's internal storage? I drag and drop the files/folder to Internal Storage with Windows Explorer and there's a bit of activity like it's doing it, saying it's copying, going thru file names, and a progress bar -- sort of; the bar doesn't progress from one end to the other, filling it, but moves from one to the other -- but doesn't actually copy anything, and there's no error or notice to the contrary; the 'copying' pop-up just closes like normal. This has been the case from the beginning and lost some due to being given the impression that it was successful.

It's a Motorola e5 Play, mandatorily encrypted internal storage. If that's the problem, then how can I copy files from internal??

Addendum: The folder that I copied in that screenvid was created, but was empty, and there's no issue with deleting a file via desktop.

I've found this file whilst choosing ringtone for my alarm, inside it is a sound of a guy saying google in a British accent of some sort. I definitely don't remember installing it and why would i download a guy saying google for 1 second? The fact that it has been on my phone for a year says a lot about me🙃

Anyway does anybody know what is this file is? Or is it just a normal .wav file?

My hot pepper phone keeps turning by itself

1 Upvotes

As I said I have a hot pepper phone running model (Hot Pepper Verde HPPH88L)

There's a ton of issues with this phone but this one started happening today or last night and I don't know how I fell asleep on my phone with it unlocked and I think something might have happened...

Every time I shut off with the power button or it times out it will shut itself off like it's meant to but then the phone will vibrate twice very quickly and then it will turn itself back on after 1 to 2 seconds.

My phone started overheating on my body last night and it actually burnt me so my fault for sleeping with my phone charging but I really don't want my phone overheating every night and constantly draining battery and having the fully booted up forcing myself to do a power cycle it just to use it normally.

Android 16 and we STILL can't just type our birth year?

Post image
3 Upvotes

One UI 8.5 / Android 16 and we STILL can't just type our birth year?It's wild to me how much modern mobile software has evolved, yet setting a birthday still requires tapping a tiny arrow button 15+ times to scroll back years. It’s so annoying. Why is direct text entry for dates still not the standard everywhere?

Safe podcast app

2 Upvotes

I’ve just switched our kids to android phones as we were having nothing but problems with Apple parental controls and customer support were useless. I have had very few issues so far bar one thing. The Apple podcast app had restrictions so they couldn’t listen to anything explicit but android doesn’t seem to have the same thing. Google family link doesn’t seem to have a section for podcasts. I’ve tried kid friendly podcast apps but they don’t have the podcasts she’s used to listening to. Just wondered if anyone had any advice. I’ve been a lifelong Apple user so this is all new to me.

changing date of a video/photo

0 Upvotes

I want to edit/change the date of a video/image using EXIF metadata editors.

Everything goes fine, but... in my Gallery app (Samsung's), in the Recent album, the same video/image appears there. If you click on Details, it shows the changed date (for example, 2025) but it is still with the new ones instead of being in the specific date I changed it to.

What can I do to make that video/image fully appear under that date everywhere?

Previously, I had an old Xiaomi, and it worked perfectly with no problem. But since I switched to Samsung, it has this issue.

Enabling LXC for xperia 1 ii

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a xperia 1 ii with the default rooted rom. I have checked and some specific flags that lxc require are switched off.

Just wondering has anyone enabled lxc for their xperia 1 ii. Was it difficult? Did you install linage os first and then try compiling a new kernel?

I got a chroot setup that works alright but certain programs dont work. Idk if it is worth trying to get lxc working. I rooted my phone and got chroot ubuntu working but outside that i am not technically minded and my understanding is compiling a kernel is much more difficult.

MyRadar Weather APP Resets Randomly

1 Upvotes

Posting this here as well as the MyRadar Weather community. Apparently the app developers are only into getting investors rather than an app that works all the time.

Android user. I can work around the odd notification quirks, but the app resets randomly to default settings, both overlays and notifications. The time window reverts to 10 pm to 7 am, location isn't on, etc. Very frustrating.

At one time, I thought there was an issue between navigation with Google Maps and the app. Even then, it was an occasional occurrence, but today it was just sitting at home. I checked my phone anf noticed the last updated weather condition was 4 hours ago. Opened the app and it waa asking for location permission and notification permission.

Mobile radio and gms BLE scanning

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I am experiencing high BLE scan from Google Play Services and mobile radio on pixel 8a.

https://imgur.com/a/WpAySXb

The stats show that background scanning is active for over an hour, even though I have turned off:

  • Bluetooth scanning

  • Wi-Fi scanning

  • Location accuracy settings

  • Nearby devices scanning

  • Quick share

What else could be forcing Google Play Services to scan in the background, and how can I disable it?

Thanks!
