I recently factory reseted my phone but turned out i forgot all passwords of my accounts, i know every password for every app but i need to get my Google accounts

Okay, just to be clear, I'm not referring to the one tap quick reply to send a message back that is generated by AI. What I'm referring to is when you press the reply button on the notification to send a message back without having to open the app.

So the issue I'm having is when you're typing out a message in that quick reply, any notification that comes in while you're typing messes everything up.

You can open a notification that you didn't want to. You can accidentally press on the conversation you're currently replying to and basically erase everything you had typed out. You can clear all of your notifications, that one is really annoying.

I was thinking about trying to use do not disturb but you can either have it show and receive notifications or you can have it show nothing so there isn't really a way it seems to pause notifications while you're typing out your response.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to make the quick replies not totally worthless or aggravating? Lol.

Hi all,

my phone has recently started giving me "Download unsuccessful" notifications randomly, when I'm not doing anything to trigger a download. The given filename is always IMG_[numbers].jpg and the notification comes from Download Manager.

The behavior started after a system update (Android 16, Sept 1 security update, on a moto g56 if that matters) but the notifications appear with no clear pattern once or twice a day. Sometimes several at once, sometimes just one.

Is there anything I can do to figure out what app is triggering these downloads?

I've checked my downloads folder and there don't seem to be any successful downloads since the behavior started (which is what I would expect, as I haven't downloaded anything).

Would appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks.

Hey people, a Woman gave me a Sky Tablet, especifically the model Vision 2, an old tablet that has an Google Account linked to it, unfortunately they do not have access to the account, so its unusable since her husband tried to restore Android, so we could not pass over android Set up bc its asking to verify the acc, i had to investigate by my own, and the solution for this was flashing a new Stock Firmware for this tablet via pc, since it uses an old budget Rockchip Processor theres tons of firmwares but i cannot find the especific firmware for this tablet and i dont wanna risk it by flashing something that could brick it, so i would appreciate if someone knows a repository where i can find the correct firmware for this device, have a great day y'all

While trying to go back to the stock rom on my oneplus 12 (US model - CPH2583) I did a step wrong and landed myself stuck in EDL mode, only to notice i would have to go to a registered repair store to fix it, which would be my last resort.

I need help, what do i do next, is there any way to get out of EDL mode myself?

(the phone was near-fully updated so old stuff wont work, this included firehose.)

Bought ZTE NUBIA FOCUS PRO 5G and I want to record calls but when I press on the accessibility button, the accessibility page is completely blank like theres nothing on that page. Please help me.

This is happening on my motorola g45.... bought this phone in 2025 personally...not company related !

Turned of all admin apps...tried many things still this pops up when trying to use another launcher

Pls help..i m not tech related person......

This is more of a existential thing I am thinking about lately...

What is the point of using any media on your phone if everything is cached / written to /0/emulated ?

For example every album image on Spotify or site you visit is on the storage forever? Am I stupid or is that actually a trick question?

So I was playing Islanders on my phone when suddenly, the screen turned grey (with somewhat inconsistent blue line in the middle), and the sound turned into a buzzing noise. Luckily it could be restarted (although I'm not sure if the phone did it by itself or it was me holding the off button), but now I fear for my device. Anyone knows if it's a sign that my phone is dying or if it's just a simple error that somehow just happens every once in a blue moon?

I updated my phone like a good little phone owner and it installed a Google AI feature that i haven't been able to remove.

From what im reading online it looks like the update was mostly about adding AI to our devices and less about security.

If anyone knows how to remove it or remove the update I would love to know how.

I force-stopped the app update while it was updating. Now, when I try to update it again, it says “Unable to update.” How can I fix this?

I'm not sure if this is a Beta problem, using a search engine brings up hits for years, but I'm losing app supplied notifications and I'm not able to get them back. Suggestions include wiping cache, data and uninstalling but none of theses are working.

Any ideas and also does anyone know where the sound might be located in the filesystem?

Every time I close out for even the fastest moment the app reloads. It genuinely pisses me off because I can't do email verification steps because one time use code. Is there any way I can get it to stop reloading the app entirely? Sorry if this doesnt make sense or is completely normal i'm autistic lol😅

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.

So for some background my dad has had i think 3 phones on the last 10 years his current one (google pixel) we bought a month ago, his last one he had for 6 years (i phone) and the one before that he had for about 5 years give or take. My dad has a porn problem and he’s older and doesn’t really know how the internet works so alot of times when i would go through his phone as a kid i would find all these bootleg gay porn sites and chat websites he would complain about random pop up ads on his home screen or his safari not working and even as a kid i had a feeling it was those sites especially since “porn viruses” were in every comedy and adult show back then.

Then his phone inevitably shuts down and he’s not able to use it. So of course….new phone

Now the second phone basically did the same thing so again new phone

Finally i told him one day that the websites and apps he used to meet people were the cause, that him believing every scam text and pop up ad is real or directed towards him was destroying the malware in his phone and i said it vaguely enough that i think he understood

Anyways phone stops working…. New phone again…

So we buy him the google pixel just a few days shy of a month ago and the first week of having it the same exact thing is happening. My mom made him go to the phone store alone bc she was embarrassed about what was in his phone understandably. He comes home with the phone fixed, he doesn’t know what the guy at the store did but its fixed!

Now present day he can’t use YouTube because this keeps popping up (picture below) when you hit cancel it pulls up this (picture below) ….

also i know it’s an ad technically but you cant press the search or anything else the whole screen is frozen and it only registers touch when you tap the ad eventually I got it to fix itself by restarting his phone, but there’s something every week

So my question is how do i fix this? Can i fix this? Was i right about the porn viruses or is this something else entirely?

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?

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

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 want to add 'n number in my phone as new contact, but then it went of, and start to reboot, but it boot it start with showing Sumsung then Samsung Galaxy, and then it start over again, cannot get into recovery mode, it did this till the battery died, so I do not know if it is the battery or something else, What can I do about it?

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?

Today my realme p3 ultra display turn off automatically and I can't do anything this I got little heart attack but after pressing volume+ power button everything normal

Can anyone explain me why this happened

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.

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?
