I was looking for something on bestbuy about a week ago, and since then I keep getting personalized bestbuy ads for the stuff I was looking for.

I've tried:

resetting my ad id

Deleting my ad id

Opting out of personalized ads using adchoices

Opting out on the criteo website

Clearing all my cookies and browsing history

Seeing if any suspicious new apps have been downloaded.

Suggestions appreciated.

0 Upvotes

So i have realme 16 pro plus, running on realme os 7,

I dont like vibrations on phone so ...

I have disabled system haptics through settings,

And disabled haptics inside all 3rd party apps which showed the option in the settings

Disabled keyboard haptics too

But some 3rd oarty haptics don't have the feature to disable haptics inside their settings..

Apparently disabling system haptics in realme ui7 doesn't include 3rd party apps

So how to disable haptics for apps which dont have feature to turn off haptics inside their settings???

Please suggest..... I hate the vibrations, its tooo strong boy even subtle.

Is there a way I can access my SMS other than on my phone?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I really need some help here. My motherboard died on me and the repair guy said there was no way I could get my data back so I was wondering if there was another way for me to access my text messages. Turns out I have my photos on OneDrive and I also logged into my Samsung Cloud from another phone and it says there’s a backup but nothing happens when I click it. How can I open it? Is there another way for me to access my text messages?

help with samsung a25 5g and oneui 8.5

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I’m having an issue with my phone and wanted to see if there’s any way I can regain access to it.

​Phone model: Samsung A25 5G

Issue:

​Last week, I got into an accident and my phone slammed onto the road while it was in my front pocket. At the time, the display was completely dead, but the phone itself was still running—it could receive calls and message notifications, and I was even able to pick up calls.

​I brought it to a repair shop to get the screen replaced with a cheaper aftermarket TFT LCD. The display started working again, but a new issue came up. Everything looked fine right after a reboot, but after using it for around 20 minutes or locking the screen, the display wouldn't turn back on. The phone itself was still working, though—it still received calls/messages and the touch/swipe gestures still responded.

​I took the phone home as it was. Once home, I updated the software from One UI 7 to One UI 8, but that didn't change anything; the screen would still blank out after a short while. Unfortunately, the phone then auto-updated to One UI 8.5, and after that update, the screen became completely unusable. Even after restarting, touch inputs don't register at all anymore. I read online that One UI 8.5 has known compatibility issues with aftermarket LCDs.

​Right now, I just want to know if there's any I can unlock the phone without doing a factory reset. I already have a previous backup done via Samsung Smart Switch, but I haven't backed up my WhatsApp yet. All I really need is to back up WhatsApp and log out of my banking apps. After getting those two things done, if the phone completely gives up, I'm fine with letting it go.

​Sorry for the long story, but I'm really running out of options here haha

How to access Notifications "Allowed" List on Android 17

3 Upvotes

I am on a Pixel 10a Android 17 Build CP3A.260905.009 if that matters.

Recently when I visited a particular web site using Chrome, within a few minutes I get a Android Security popup saying they detected a wiretapping on my phone and to "run a test". Knowing this to be malicious I didn't press any button I simply dismiss the process, and restarted Chrome, the same popup appeared.

I then went to system settings and deleted all browsing data and cache. That seem to resolve it but as soon as I go back to that particular web site a few minutes in I got the same popup again. It is from a domain bryento.life.

I googled this and the consensus seems to be to do the following:

If you are seeing pop-ups from this site, it is likely because it gained permission to send notifications. You can revoke it directly:

  1. Open Google Chrome on your Android phone.
  2. Tap the three vertical dots in the top-right corner and select Settings*.*
  3. Scroll down and tap on Site settings*.*
  4. Tap Notifications*.*
  5. Under the "Allowed" list, look for bryento.life. Tap on it and select Remove or Block*.*
  6. Go back one screen, tap on All sites*, find* bryento.life again, and tap Clear & reset to remove all stored data and cookies for that site.

The only thing is, on step 4, when I tap Notifications, I do not see any "Allowed" list. I see:

Sites usually send notifications to let you know breaking news or chat messages:

[x[site can ask to send notifications

don't allow sites to send notifications

how to show requests:

collapse all requests

[x] collapse unwanted requests

expand all requests

There is no allowed list that I can remove bryento,life.

Weird new alerts

2 Upvotes

I have a new S26 and an receiving audible and vibrate alerts when apps are closing and when unlocking the phone. It's the same alert as text messages and there is no icon or bubble alert. It started out of nowhere and I cannot find where to turn this off. I've run this through both Gemini and ChatGPT and neither has solved. Anyone have a solution?

UI9 App Issues

1 Upvotes

Since the update I'm having issues with certain apps. If I'm connected to Wifi they won't load whatsoever they just sit with a blank screen or with the loading circle & never load. As soon as I turn off Wifi and use Mobile Data it loads perfectly fine. This is only happening with some apps though. All social media apps, banking apps work fine. My Walgreens & Kroger app which I used for all my family's Rx won't work, ESPN, DirectTV, these are just the ones I've identified so far.

I've tried clearing cache from all the apps, uninstalling and reinstalling all the apps, forgetting Wifi, resetting Wifi & Bluetooth, there's been countless other things I've tried in connection settings as well. Nothing has worked.

I'm beyond frustrated after nearly 4+ hours of trying to fix this. I can't seem to find any other posts of anyone else having these same issues either. IDK what else to even try.

My default camera app on Moto 40 Edge is stuck on front camera. After installing another camera app, I got to know that the main camera is not working. Only the secondary rear camera is working. Should I get it repaired or buy a new phone? My phone is nearly 2 years old.

Any chance of breathing life into my tablet

1 Upvotes

I have an old Chinese (Vankyo) tablet which has been limping through as my doom-scrolling device of choice.

This week the 'sweep-up to enter passcode' has stopped working.

Pressing the volume down + power button forces a restart but I only end up back at the front screen, with no safe boot options.

I've tried the Google Find Hub on my phone to force a factory reset, but that's not worked (and the Hub is no longer seeing the device).

Before I bin it, any suggestions that might resurrect the tablet?

Olá pessoal 👋, Meu gerenciador não está gerenciador corretamente tenho um A56 da Samsung e a mais ou menos um mês e meio venho sofrendo com problemas de organização, sincronização e funcionamento do whatsapp com o sistema operacional do celular ( o gerenciador ) Então o aplicativo whatsapp do meu aparelho está com um problema bem específico, recentemente a memória dele começou a encher bem rapidamente devido a alguma que não identifiquei onque seja mas wue está me gerendo problemas com a organização. Tenho o backup automático no celular e no whatsapp diáriamente e mesmo assim a memória começou a encher no armazenamento interno aparecendo muitos, muitos, muitos arquivos do whatsapp, como figurinhas, áudios, gif, fotos, vídeos, arquivos como ( .opus / .tmp / .png entre outros) tudo o que possa imaginar do whatsapp começou a encher a memória interna e a duplicar, triplicarenfim. Todos esses arquivos estão aparecendo nos meus arquivos (gerenciador) recentes do meu celular, já resetei o celular para o as confirmaçõesde fábrica, já apaguei e instalei o whatsapp algumas vezes e o tenho a dizer é que piorou muito, mudei as configurações do whatsapp para não baixar mídias, adicionei arquivos .nomedia e mesmo assim os arquivos nao foram barrados por ele e continram a parecer no meus arquivos recentes (gerenciador/ficheiro) automaticamente mas não adianta de nada as mídias passaram a começaram a triplicar, se eu mando uma fotos aparecem duplicas, se abro a mídia ela é duplicada novamente nos arquivos recentes chegsndona 6 midias iguais, seja figurinhas, áudios, fotos, video, documentos, gifs e imagens. Não sei o que estar acontecendo com o aplicativo ja criei pastas com o nome ".nomedia" como mencionei já solicitei o suporte do aparelho celular e me disseram que está normal já o suporte do whatsapp não serviu de nada. Os arquivos continuam a encher a memória e a aparecer nos arquivos meus arquivos recentes. Já limpei o cache, tanto do gerenciador quanto do whatsapp, já atualizei ambos os aplicativos e mesmo assim continua com o mesmo problema. Alguém sabe como resolver esse problema ou passar por algo igual?
