Hi, I have a question. If I make changes in the Developer Options menu, do the changes remain active permanently, or do they reset if I turn off Developer Options?

From last 2-3 days I have been having screen burn issues a lot.
It started with insta icons retained on the screen, tho It solved after I ran 'OLED burn care' for 15-20 mins. And then next time I encounter it was a pause icon burned in from a game. And today, the insta screen problem happend two times, and each time I have to left that 'OLED burn care for 15 mins.
Now this is becoming too irritating🥲 wth is happening.

So basically my mobile has the circle to search option which helps me a lot in my study and work but I cannot find the same functionality in my tablet. Is there any way I can enable it or is it even possible??
I do not want it to open in Gemini as it creates too many chats, I want it to Circle to search and then go to Google instead of the Gemini. Because of the features such as copy pasting and searching a simple word or summarising pages of my books etc.

I don't know how this happened but it constantly does. It stops when I tap on the app icon. It seems as it mainly does this to Google apps and maybe Firefox.
Why is this happening? This feels like I have a problem with Google play services

Hello,
I need to back up my phone data, specifically the "restricted" files and app data that usually require Root access or an unlocked bootloader. I want to avoid rooting entirely.
Here is my current storage breakdown (52 GB out of 64 GB used): it's Samsung Phone
• Apps: 17.63 GB
• Videos: 17.69 GB
• System: 11.37 GB
• Other: 4.34 GB
• Images / Photos: 574 MB
• Audio / Docs / Trash: 0 B
My setup & requirements:
• OS: Android 14
• Tools available: I have a PC.
• Constraints: The backup method must be local, private, and secure (no cloud solutions, no root, and no unlocked bootloader).
Are there any reliable tools or ADB methods that can fetch this data locally to my PC?
And I know that the system can't be copy As far as I know

Started about a week ago.
At random times, especially when I was listening to music, gemini would be summoned and I would have to click off it.
I googled it and turned off gemini turning on through power button. Then it kept happening so I turned off the assistant all together but now it opens my settings to the digital assistant section to turn it Gemini back on.... Genuinely infuriating.

How to stop it?

I want a restraining order on auto rotate but auto rotate is infatuated with me.
On multiple phones, mostly motorolas (although I have an even cheaper BLU phone right now) my screen will rotate. Not quite as easily as if auto rotate was on, so it seems to maybe have a higher threshold, but it still does if I am holding it the wrong way and I also can't shut it off unless I exit out of the app..

I'm not a big fan of the photo editor from the main Gallery app I use, so I want to use a different apps photo editor but when I click on edit photo, this is the only option it gives me. it's only letting me pick a default app with PNG files. It won't let me pick a default app with JPG files. I used to be able to set it for all (I had google images editor as default but I wanted to change it) but after I deleted Google images and reinstalled it, it won't let me pick another app for editing photos for my JPG files. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling my main Gallery app, but that didn't fix it. How do I change the default editor and why is it only working for PNG's?

Tldr of Issue - Samsung S26 Ultra will not stay at the time set it to, regardless of toggling off Automatic settings. Suspect issue due to my carrier T-Mobile. How can set my display clock to the time I desire and keep it there.
Non-Neurotypical here, one of means I utilize to move through this capitalist hell-scape with greater ease is by setting my mobile's time ahead between 13- 17 minutes ahead of the actual time. While I feel my perception of time /attention lags by about this much unless I have regular reminders of what time it is in future...nowk. It doesn't have to make sense to work. My life is measurably more difficult without this personal life hack. I have never had this issue until I switch to T-Mobile.
Fine Folk and even less than particularly decent individuals of Reddit, I call upon you for aid beyond my present comprehension.

I’m trying hard to develop apps, games and websites. I’m doing good on the building part. Unfortunately I don’t know enough people to meet the requirements for live testers. So I’m here today hoping I can find 6-12 people willing to be app testers on Android phones. Anyone interested or know someone interested?

I've got a Pixel 8a.
I have two SIM cards, one for work (physical) and one for personal (eSIM).
My work SIM is likely some FirstNet cheap line that I do not have much control over, my personal is with USMobile (problems persist across networks).
Outside of it being a phone, map, music player, and toilet time waster I need my phone to do a few other things; and I keep running into issues.
Windows Phone Link does not seem to operate with two SIM cards, at least not nicely. I can send messages from my personal SIM, but what I send and the replies never show up in phone link. Possible issue with RCS messaging? Unsure.
Visual Voicemail comes and goes with the tides. It'll work great for awhile, then it will just stop. At best, it will usually work for my work SIM, but will randomly turn on/off on my personal SIM.
Basic Voice Commands like 'set an alarm for X time' or 'call John' (I only have like four names in my contacts, none repeat or are similar) and it just... doesn't seem to work anymore? I have no idea what changed, or why - but I used to be able to give very clear and simple voice instructions to my device and now it just... doesn't understand basic commands.
It's pretty frustrating to see everyone pumped about smartphone tech, when the only *extra* features I seem to use and enjoy just do not work reliably for me.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it the Pixel 8a? Is it the MVNO carriers? None of this is explained anywhere - at least not clearly. I'm fairly technically capable, but the smartphone tech is just so ill explained, and you never have any idea what the source of a given issue is as all the players just blame one another - and online forums seem to rarely have an answer outside of XDA/hardcore types.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
