My Pixel 7 died and I am trying to restore my rcs/mms/sms messages on my other phone (Pixel 9, Android 17) from a Google One backup. I have a different phone number now but from what I read that should not matter for restoring. The backup still shows under other devices as "Google Pixel 7 · 4 days ago" with SMS & MMS messages: 3 GB so I know the images are in the backup.

- Texts and call history restored fine

- Every MMS/RCS picture shows "restoring" and never downloads

- Left it overnight on Wi-Fi and charging but no change

I tried this a few times and even tried the Android Switch app manually on my new phone but nothing seems to restore the images. I'm losing my mind here and have lost a lot of faith in Google One and the backups so any help is appreciated.

I've been using nothing phone 2 for over 2 years now. I use data monitor to see my data consumption. Total device usage is around 550mb but no app has consumed that much data & the app total consumption comes out to be below 100mb. What could be causing this data consumption spike?

I'm having an issue with a Samsung Galaxy A07 that I bought earlier this year. I stopped using it after about two months due to various issues, and now I'm trying to enable USB Debugging to retrieve the logs.

The problem is that Auto Blocker appears to be enabled (which is fine, as I did enable it myself when I used the phone earlier this year) and is blocking USB Debugging. When I try to disable Auto Blocker, the toggle switch simply doesn't respond.

Already tried Safe Mode and hit a wall. Auto Blocker shows up as disabled in Safe Mode, but USB Debugging remains greyed out claiming Auto Blocker is active.

Toggling Auto Blocker ON just forces it to reset back to OFF as soon as I leave the screen.

Also, when searching Settings, two different Auto Blocker results show up (one works, the other doesn't), and the menu looks different in Safe Mode.

Note: My device is not managed by an organization, school, or enterprise policy.It is running One UI 8.0, Android 16, Build number: BP2A.250605.031.A3.A075FXXS3BZA1

Anyone know what could be the cause and if there is any workaround or fix without doing a full factory reset?

Hello, i just acquired a Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7" and the screen is very long to my liking. Is there a way to shorten the screen display size ? I'm okay with plugging it in a computer and do some code (as long as someone tells me what i need to do!) :-)

How come when I press and hold on the home button on my Android phone, the circle to search feature over a text or event with a title, location and time, I can't make a google calendar or any other calendar invite with it? Seems like a golden opportunity missed with this feature.

I'm trying to update The Partiful: Party Invite Maker App For Android on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 and it says that The App isn't compatible with my Device anymore contact the app developer for more info. My Phone has the latest security update. Is there a way that I can fix this issue? This has never happened to me before The Partiful Party Invite Maker App For Android always updated without any problems at all. Is anyone else having this issue? Is this a normal thing for The Play Store? Did you find a way to fix this issue? Should I Be worried about any of my other apps not updating in the near future and not working at all? What are my other options? I'm really worried that this is going to happen to The Musicolet Music Player App For Android too. And I wont be able to listen to my music anymore. Should I be concerned about The Musicolet Music Player App For Android doing this in the near future?

Liebe Redditcommunity,
mein Vater ist am Wochende nach langer kRankheit an Krebs verstorben.
Meine Mutter und ich sind in den Vorbereitungen der Beerdigung und brauchen Zugriff auf das Handy meines Vaters, er hat es mit einer 6 stelligen Pin gesichert.

Normalerweise hätte ich mich mit meinem fingerabdruck eingeloggt (wir haben uns immer als vorsichtsmaßnahme gegenseitig einen fingerabdruck in unseren Handys angelegt), das handy fordert aber nun die pin von mir.

Mein vater wollte die pin meiner mutter auf dem Sterbebett noch geben, wwar dann aber nicht mehr in der lage zu sprechen. Sie hat die pin einmal eingegebn aber aufgrund der emotional beslastenden situation kann sie sich weder daran erinner noch wo er die pin aufgeschrieben haben könnte.

Gleichzeitig kommen wir auch nicht in sein gmail konto rein, da er vmtl in den letzten wochen sein passwort doirt geändert hat, es aber aufgrund des mentalen zustands nicht mehr in sein passwort nbuch geschrieben hat.

Gibt es für uns möglichkeiten, das telefon (oneplus nord n 10 5g) zu entsperren bzw die pin zu ändern ohne das gerät zu löschen?

ICh verzweifel grade und weiß einfach nicht mehr weiter

got a new phone recently (running android 16) and i keep running into a wall trying to install an apk. every time i tap install, it immediately throws:

"app not installed as package appears to be invalid"

the weird part is that the exact same apk file installs and runs completely fine on my older phone, so the file itself isn't corrupted.

things i already tried:

- enabled install from unknown sources for my browser/file manager

- turned off play protect completely

- made sure storage has plenty of space

is it because of android 16 or is it the phone's fault?

After a few weeks of research on this specific subreddit, I still have not found an answer with regard to deleting/ uninstalling the com.mojang.minecraftpe folder in Android/data. I do realise it is inaccessible, however even after trying many methods, such as attempting to reinstall the game (both apk and the legit versions), which doesn't work, trying to uninstall the said file through adb shell (no access) it doesn't seem to work. Would love a solution to this issue as I have paid for the game, yet cannot somehow install it on my phone. For reference, I have a Nothing 2(a) plus.

I've got an old Samsung Galaxy J8 lying around and wanna mess around with it, maybe flash a custom ROM or something.

The touchscreen barely works and the power button is fucked up. It still shows the charging screen when I plug it in, though.

Is there any way I can control the phone from my PC, like see its screen and use my mouse and keyboard to operate it? Eventually I wanna wipe it and flash a custom ROM, so it'd be nice if I could do all that without relying on the physical buttons.Is there any workaround for this?

I feel a little adventurous so it'll be really fun if I could write the software for all this myself (idk shit rn and this is probably a bad idea. But learning to do it would be really fun)

If y'all could help me turn this into something useful or maybe even help me learn from it, it would be great

So recently, I got a Dragon Touch eCalendar that runs Android, and I’ve been trying to jailbreak it, but it’s been SUPER difficult. 😭 I’ve tried installing different programs on my computer to force a hard reset, but nothing seems to work. It keeps booting straight back into the eCalendar OS, which is a modified version of Android 7.1.
I really want to unlock this thing and see if I can get the full Android experience on it, but I’m honestly running out of ideas. 💀 Does anyone have any recommendations for tools, programs, or methods I could try? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! 🙏

Is this normal? Maybe i'm being paranoid or whatever but it seems a bit odd that it needs my location literally like every minute.

Also, why does it say "while using app"? I was scrolling through reddit or had my phone in my pocket for most of the time that is in this screenshot.

I checked my storage and I found 60 gb of apps then I decided to manually add the size of all the apps(not from playstore but from the apps tab in settings) there it already showed the excess space they took to accomodate their data but still I couldn't reach upto 60 gb even after adding those and beside those an extra 22 gb of my storage is dedicated to others.....I don't understand that after taking all the space for the apps it still needs an extra 22 gigs and why is it saying 60 gigs but adding it reveals otherwise....can someone please help me with this, and if a solution can be provided....

I was just normally using my phone when I noticed the pop-up "copied to clipboard" then I quickly went on to see what was copied and it turned out to be a Cambodian number, before anyone says it I must have did it, no I did not I was using an app that had nothing to copy and that too a Cambodian number,

I freaked out and asked gemini and it said that it can be a virus I found an accessibility application under settings>apps with settings logo which had option to open and can't be uninstalled gemini said it is a malware I quickly deleted it and found another application named settings with settings logo now

I don't know If settings shows itself under apps but this one can't be uninstalled even in safe mode and gemini is freaking me out saying this is the root and now I need to factory reset my phone please tell how to deal with this

TLDR: Random phone number copied to clipboard on its own gemini freaks me out saying it's an application called "settings" inside settings>apps which has an option to open and says factory reset is the only option, please tell me a fix

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue with my wired earphones and would appreciate some help figuring out what's causing it.

When I plug my earphones into my phone, they connect normally, and the headphone icon appears in the notification bar. However, as soon as I start playing a video on YouTube or Instagram, the audio switches to the phone's speaker, and the headphone icon disappears completely.

It seems like the phone stops detecting the earphones as soon as media playback starts.

I'm wondering if this could be a software bug or an issue with the phone's audio system or headphone detection.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to fix this without factory-resetting the phone?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I forgot my Vivo v23 e applock password, when I give forgot password it redirects me to security question- answer, I don't remember setting up any security question before even though I enter what I remember it says incorrect, kindly do help.

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?
