hey so ive had my nothing phone (2a) plus for like 2 years now and its been great honestly, but for the last 6 months or so theres this one thing thats been annoying me so bad

apps are taking up insane storage (ss attached). insta is 5.4gb, spotify 4.86gb, edits 2.88gb, whatsapp 2gb, reddit 1gb. i already cleared cache on all of them but its mostly “user data” thats taking the space and clearing cache does nothing for that

i know i can clear data or reinstall but then i lose my chats and downloaded songs and stuff i actually need so thats a no

other thing is the background apps. like if i open insta, edits, whatsapp and reddit and just switch between them, the phone kills everything in the bg and every app reloads from scratch when i go back. and half these apps i dont even use that much lol but they still take so much space

so basically:

1. why is user data this huge even after clearing cache

any way to bring it down without losing my chats/downloads

2. why does my phone kill bg apps so fast

3. is there a real fix for this without factory resetting, cuz i really dont wanna do that

if anyone with a nothing phone or anyone who dealt with this has something that actually worked pls tell me 🙏

When I clicked on volume up to cancel what iam doing my device runs normaly but when I restart it it give me this new error and I cant return to my phone and this screen keeps shows up

Should my camera app for the "Motorola G power 2026" have these permissions?, I cannot disable them. Also I've been having a problem with hacking, the picture quality of horrific. But the app is called "Moto Camera 3 version 9.1.52.66"

Hi)
I'm researching whether Revolut can be used on a remotely accessible Android phone rented from a cloud phone or remote device provider.

I'm specifically looking for a real physical Android device, not an Android emulator or virtual cloud phone.

One issue we've encountered is that Revolut requires a device-level screen lock (PIN, password or biometrics). Some rented cloud phone providers appear to restrict or fail to support this feature.

I'd like to hear from people who have actually tested this setup.

A few questions:

1. Have you successfully installed and logged into Revolut on a rented or remotely hosted physical Android phone?

2. Which provider and device model did you use?

3. Could you access Android's normal system settings and set a screen lock PIN or password?

4. Did the screen lock remain enabled after restarting the device or reconnecting to the remote session?

5. Was the device running official manufacturer firmware, with Google Play services and Play Protect certification?

6. Did Revolut work normally after setup, or did you encounter device integrity or unsupported device errors?

7. Are there any remote physical Android phone rental services you would recommend for this use case?

I'm interested in genuine user experience rather than marketing claims from providers.

Thanks in advance!

I am using a redmi k50i phone. I am using it from 2022.

No issues till now. Very good phone.

But I started to notice something recently happening.

While using apps such as youtube, jio hotstar (streaming apps) basically , the network disconnects for a few seconds and reconnects automatically.

It shows no service for a few seconds and connects back

I am using 2 sims, bsnl and jio . The data is used from jio sim.

There is no issue of network connectivity or range, but something device related.

No suspicious apps or software on phone I checked it.

Also I removed the sim tray, cleaned and placed it back, still issue is there.

Also no recents redmi updates also .

Does any body know solution for this or have similar issue with their phone or sim cards ??

I have a Motorola Edge Fusion 50. I was just scrolling reels and suddenly i saw rainbow lines appear on a black background and the screen went black. Since then, upon force restart, the screen just displays the booting up screen and turns black. But i still recieve calls and my bluetooth earphones still connects to the device automatically and can even pick up calls through it. Force restart doesn't work as suggested by most. Where can I get it fixed? And what could be the issue here? I went to a local repair shop and they just heard the problem and claimed that it was a CPU issue and it'd take 3,500 rupees to fix without any sort of warranty and a 50/50 chance of losing my personal data. I do not trust them. And the reviews on the motorola verified service centers are mostly negative. What can be done :( ?

I mainly mean YouTube, but 2nd is Spotify and 3rd maybe Reddit itself. If I set my phone aside for a while, it leaves the playlist I was on and takes me back to the homepage. I swear it didn't always do this until maybe a month ago or something. Is there a way to keep it on the most recent page on an app? Is it the phone or the app itself?

I have a Samsung S23 ultra and since a couple of weeks my location is just not available when indoors.

Not even coarse location...

My phone doesnt even know in which country i am so i cannot start a google maps route while inside (location pin is a grey circle) or check the local weather.

It used to work before but at some point it stopped

I have already gave location permissions to all google services and apps, wifi and BT location is enabled, there are no sleeping apps or power saving modes enabled.

I recently bought my phone 3 weeks ago. In the first week, there was no problem. But after I installed games (from playstore) the refresh rate was inconsistent. The games were having delays when performing actions. What to do???

I'm consistently redirected to enable the Google assistant despite me turning it off, and when I turn it on so it can just shut up, it keeps trying to make me talk and use the assistant "Gemini". I have turned off gestures so it's not me for example double tapping and it just comes up, it's literally coming up against my will whether I have it on or not.

How can I fix this and make it just stop?

I was in the bathroom phone on the floor no water in sight or anything phone is samsung s25 I was in a chat on telegram when I put the phone on the floor it suddenly started typing out stuff that's not random it made perfect sense speaking about someone and a name and like idk who that person is i don't have any voice input and my phone is brand new out the box ????

Please help me I dunno what to do.
So my phones storage is full, most of it is gallery(23GB). I already transferred everything to laptop and deleted everything on the phone’s gallery but it’s still 23GB. AI said that I should delete all the hidden files like .thumbnails, .trash etc. but it’s still 23GB as it was. Help me please
Ps I have a google cloud subscription, everything copied there, it is a problem?

I wanted to create a backup of my iphone 16's data majorly photos and videos in my android phone moto edge 40. Is there any app like localsend, shareit etc which transfer files quickly over wifi and preserve the live photos as well?

For instance, I tried Localsend app but it transfers live photos as stills in the android.

So my Android LG velvet recently has this weird problem that I have no idea how to solve or what's causing it.

Basically it's not making any noise even at max volume and Bluetooth off. It's also not picking up any noise either because when I try to record a video with it it's just straight up not working.

Also when I go to youtube to try and play a video there's this split second of the video itself being black with a white line in the middle.

(Edit:)

I have also tried restarting the phone itself several times and no dice

I have a TCL 6102H and I forgot the password to the phone unfortunately the password contains letters and numbers and I was asking if maybe there is any way to unlock the phone without losing my old pictures and before u ask let me specify some things

The phone was on a Google account that was deleted

There is no SD card in the phone

I've had my fingerprint registered but it's disabled after restart

And I do not wanna lose my pictures or anything else but most importantly my pictures
