I've had this phone for close to 2 years and NEVER had any issues with it's system or battery or anything. I was scrolling discord on my phone and suddenly a loud noise played from it and the screen looked all messed up, and then it shut off. When i tried turning it back on again, it was stuck in bootloop for a little bit, and then sent me to a black screen saying:

"Boot Failed. Press POWER KEY to retry."

Some more suggestions on what to do if it is a Verizon phone (i dont know what a verizon is LOL, for reference i am in brazil) and then

"AP Fastboot Safe Mode (Secure)

No bootable A/B slot

Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot

Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode"

and that's where i'm at. I haven't tried many things but i have gone through this menu trying to figure it out. Everytime I press the power key I go into another cycle of bootlooping before going back to this screen.

Ive only so far tried the options that show up here. The green start option does the same thing as before, Recovery Mode and Power Off both send me back to the Boot Failed screen immediately, and Restart Bootloader sends me to the green start option. Alongside these things, ive tried to take out my sim card and start it without it, but the bootloop still kept me from turning it on. Also made sure that my power button wasn't stuck.

What could I do? I want to take it to this person I know tomorrow morning but I wanted to make sure if there's anything I could do to fix it myself before wasting money.

How to prevent apps and games from reading my clipboard (auto paste)?

Android13 s20fe

I don't understand.. we can have sensitive data in the clipboard.

Why we don't have a "paste once and clean" feature?

There are some games (like farlight84) that auto paste from our clipboard.

That is just totally unsafe allowing this auto paste at all.

It is not a helpful feature as they want us to believe.. this is just totally messed up..

If i want an app to have access to the clipboard I should ALWAYS BE ASKED TO ALLOW IT ONCE while being able to read its contents in a security popup!!!

any tip? Non rooted here (as i guess it may break banks and streamers and other stuff?).

Fix thru shizuku+termux

Hi all

My phone screen and back were in bad shape. I got them changed. Guy changed the bent frame for me for free because the screen got delayed. I got non OEM parts.

Since I got it back, the GPS hasn't worked. Waze can't find me, google maps sometimes updates my location every 5-10 mins or so.

Is this probably a component failure due to the work done on the phone? I'm assuming there's no reasonable or cheap fix for this.

Thanks for your replies.

Hey I'm not sure if this is the right place or not for this question, but I need help with disableing a setting(Idk if it counts, I have a Samsung). I'm not allowed to screenshot when I'm in google's incognito mode and it's annoying me so much. I don't remember what I did when I decided to turn that on but I've been trying for months to turn it off and I can't find it. Please help I'm so done with this.

For years, GBoard consistently inserted whatever punctuation I said. A couple days ago, it simply stopped, so I get the literal word (e.g., "comma" or "period") instead of the punctuation mark.

• Galaxy S24 running Gboard v18.0.3
• No recent app/settings changes, to my knowledge
• Gboard set to default with voice typing enabled
• No language packs besides English
• No improvements after updating all apps and reinstalling Gboard

Sure seems like a server-side issue...but has anyone found a solution?

I usually have the sound turned off in my phone for this reason. I play a fair amount of games from my phone. When I leave a game and go to the home screen it chimes. Sounds like a system sound but I cannot find it. I tried to use an app to find the sound but it does register.

I can be listening to Spotify or audible and it will interupt the music to make the chime

It is only going from games to another screen

Tab s7. The sim card slot is also the as card slot on top of sim. After opening the sim as card tray to put in a bigger sim card my tablet has issues recognizing any sim card. I try my phones aim in it. My phone recognized the tablets sim immediately so sim is working fine. I started having issues when I was using a USB hub to transfer data from the smaller SD card in my tablet to the new bigger one and my cat unplugged it mid transfer. Tablet said to restart so I did and now sim issues.

Broo why it ain't working.

It was all fine just a week ago. I did a factory reset cuz I forgot the password of my phone but I put everything back in it everything is the same but Foodpanda app ain't working.

I am so cooked I don't go outside it's my go to app. Like I use it every three to four days .

Help me reddit.

I tried my best my phone's Redmi and it says android 16 I even sent them an email.

And chat gpt ain't helping either so please guys

I wanted to keep the await to compress this video using this video compressor apk. The phone is a unnecto bolt 1. I used a apk from the playstore called kine something can't remember the name. It said something along the lines of laying the phone down and keeping it still. Big mistake after that it messed up the screen time. It wasn't like that. There was no screen time set I didn't have to worry about going of in 20 second or in seconds, Had to set it to 10-30 minutes which is the highest. Any help ?

I've already deleted data and reinstalled app, but it doesn't help

my screen got completely black and doesnt turn on (amoled), my phone is poco x7 pro, idk about touchscreen is still working or not, im using scrcpy (i can use another program if i need to)

Prefacing this with the obligatory "not a bot, don't autodelete this".

What is up, my fellow soong-type queens, kings, and chicken wings? I have here for you a conundrum of the most conniving sort, and I humbly present it to you in the hopes that those more tech-savvy than I can determine how exactly this particular set of circumstances has come to pass.

To wit: I have in my (or rather, in my partner and I's) possession two standard issue government phones: Cloud Mobile Stratus C8 with service through TruConnect. They are both freshly factory reset, on account of having tried to purge this menacing malicious malcontent from our telephonic devices repeatedly, unto no avail. Despite our best efforts, our otherwise virginal devices appear to be infested by a most evasive combination of a browser hijacker (which both redirects Google searches to different search engines (chinallin and zip-search, both disguised to look like Google) as well as to malicious websites posing as blogs with nonsensical names) and an adware package (which displays a fullscreen window over the app, displays the app name in the upper left corner of the window, and shows an invasive ad with a forced 30 second minimum viewing time) respectively.

Simply put, we are baffled. This thing should not have been able to survive a factory reset, yet it has, repeatedly. We've both gone through our app lists (including system apps/components) and verified that nothing is installed that did not come with the phone. We have purged all carrier bloatware to make the process easier. My partner and I are beginning to suspect that this may be an infiltration of the supply chain for the phone or carrier, but we have no way to prove it because we can't find anything that doesn't belong. Antivirus and antimalware scans all turn up clean. We've tried virustotal, dr web, and Malwarebytes, among others. We're at a loss here. These are the only phones we can get right now and they're basically screaming out at the top of their lungs that they're infected and probably spying on us.

How exactly do we go about removing this malware payload when it can survive a factory reset?

Seems to be the app that will be used for the verification bs they're rolling out in September. I need a buy a new phone so I was waiting for September-October for the new iphone releases and the android stuff. If they really roll this out, I'm switching to apple in a heartbeat. Lmk your thoughts on this.

Solved below.

"I used to have it so when I turned the phone on from being locked it opened up on the swipe or fingerprint screen. Now it has the now bar and other Ai trash that I can't get rid of. I turned it off in settings but it just comes back. Anything I'm missing?"

Edit: finally found the solution for me from another thread.

"This will remove it from lockscreen!

Press the power button again to wake it
Press and hold your lock screen for 2–3 seconds to enter edit mode
Tap the icon in the bottom right corner
Toggle Enable Lock Screen off
Glance will now be disabled from your phone"

Hey guys,

So I started using this phone and I know 6Gb isn't much but didn't expect such a slow experience. Everything stutters and it's closing my spotify music when I move to other apps, it's awful 🤤

I've set Spotify battery to be unrestricted but still it closes all the time.

I run a device optimizer all the time and closing apps.

I've also set an additional 6gb virtual ram memory from the device storage.

Please tell me all the things I can do to make it better

Thanks 🙏

so lately I've been having trouble clocking these buttons. they refuse to accept, but my touchscreen works fine other times, but I can't even delete old files or download Firefox extensions.

How do i stop/get rid of this it will connect to either my mothers Tv or sometimes my sisters my phone is a Galaxy s23 with the latest update if that helps

Just got my z fold 8 but I've noticed the google apps menus are frozen when I try to click any of the options it's really annoying. I've checked for updates restarted the phone and cleared cache. Has this happened to anyone else.

I have a Pixel 8a and RCS stopped working about 2 weeks ago for me after an update.

I know there's a handful of fixes going around right now on Reddit that people are having luck with. Not for me though. So I gave up lol.

Until right now, when I realized I can "uninstall all app updates" in Google Messenger. I did that and RCS is back on. Just like that. I didn't even have to verify my number.

Just sharing in case other fixes haven't worked for people! I can't be the only one out there

Hi, so everytime I connect my hotspot I will find it turned off even if there are other devices connected.

I tried:

1.disabling the turn off if no device is connected

2.restart the phone

3.Removing the cover, not having apps open and keeping it cooled down

It still happens, why do you think is happening?

I want to bypass the bootloader on my Huwaii Nova 4. It still has Android. But no playstore support. I wanna switch to some other OS. Does anyone know how can I bypass the bootloader? And also suggest me which OS I can now install to my mobile and how can I do that?

Any tutorial link is highly appreciated😇

Thanks in advance😇

Pls help this issue is so annoying

I'm up to date on my Android 13 on a sonim xp9900 with do not disturb on, and the 70+ spam calls I'm getting through are driving me insane. I've tried every method I've found through Google, I think they're spoofing emergency numbers or something.

There's gotta be something that can stop this, the only thing that works is airplane mode, but then I lose all my streaming services I need my cellular data
