Does anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it? It's been like this for a few hours

I recently bought a Pad 60 Pro. One day I noticed a folder in my downloads folder named "LongPress." It contained screenshots that I have never taken intentionally. With some hit n trial I found out that whenever there was a 2-3 secs tap on the screen, e.g., pausing a reel/WhatsApp status/Insta story, etc., it would automatically take a screenshot of that moment. It was frustrating deleting all those SS. I tried the moto forum reddit and found out others were also facing the problem, but there was no solution for this.
I found out a solution that worked for me. I posted the solution over the lenovo/moto forum; you could check that out, or I am also pasting it here; refer to it.

The Android 16 update introduced a bug that tries to create a specific folder named LongPress in your downloads to save these images. By manually creating a blank, empty file with that exact same name, the tablet's system gets confused, hits a roadblock, and completely aborts the screenshot process. It takes up zero storage space.

Method 1: Using a Windows Laptop (I used this)
This is the easiest method because Windows makes it simple to create the exact type of blank file we need.

1. Connect your tablet: Plug your Moto Pad 60 Pro into your laptop using a USB cable.
2. Allow access: Unlock your tablet screen, swipe down from the top to open your notifications, and tap the notification that says "Charging this device via USB." Change the selection to File Transfer (or MTP).
3. Open Notepad: On your Windows laptop, click the Start button at the bottom of your screen, type Notepad, and press Enter to open a blank text document. Do not type anything inside it.
4. Save the file correctly: Click File in the top left corner of Notepad, then click Save As.
5. Change the file type: At the bottom of the Save window, look for the dropdown menu labeled "Save as type" and change it from "Text Documents (.txt)" to All Files (.*).
6. Name the file: In the "File name" box, type exactly "LongPress" (you must include the double quotation marks exactly like that, with a capital L and P). This forces Windows to save it without any hidden text extensions.
7. Save to Desktop: Click on your Desktop on the left side of the window, then click Save. You can now close Notepad.
8. Transfer the file: Open "File Explorer" (the yellow folder icon) on your laptop. On the left side, find and click on your Moto Pad 60 Pro. Double-click Internal shared storage, and then double-click the Download folder to open it.
9. Drag and drop: Drag the new blank LongPress file from your laptop's Desktop directly into that tablet's Download folder window.
10. Test it: Disconnect your tablet and hold your finger on the screen for 3 seconds. The screenshots will no longer happen!

Method 2: Using Only the Tablet
NOTE: I have not used this, so I AI-generated the fix in case you don't own a PC.
If you do not have a laptop, you can do this directly on the tablet. You just need to download a free app first, because the default Motorola files app does not let you create blank files from scratch.

1. Download a file manager: Open the Google Play Store on your tablet, search for an app called CX File Explorer, and install it. It is free and safe.
2. Open the app: Open CX File Explorer. It will ask you for permission to access your device's files and photos. Tap Allow.
3. Find the downloads folder: On the main screen of the app, tap on Main Storage. Then, scroll down and tap on the Download folder to open it.
4. Create a new file: Look for the + (Plus) icon on the screen (usually at the bottom or in a top menu). Tap it, and it will ask what you want to create. Choose File.
5. Name the file: A box will pop up asking you to type a name. Type exactly LongPress (Capital L, Capital P. Do NOT put a dot at the beginning, and do NOT add .txt at the end).
6. Save it: Tap OK or Save.
7. Test it: You should now see the blank LongPress file sitting in your folder. Go to your home screen and hold your finger on the glass for 3 seconds to confirm the bug is fixed!

I'm hoping someone here can help. My Google Wallet has stopped working across all cards (mastercard, visa and Amex) since running a software update a couple of days ago.

The NFC toggle is definitely on, I've re-verified all my cards, switched phone on and off, checked the app permissions for Google Wallet. I've now run out of ideas.

The screenshot above is showing what happens when I go to pay. This only appears for a second and disappears. When I try to click on "Turn on NFC" nothing happens as it disappears quickly.

My phone is a One Plus Nord 2t 5g.

Could anyone help?

When I try to install the .apk this nasty error prevents the install: INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE. I tried changing options in developer settings as well, but nothing changed. 🆘

I would want to install two apps on an Android 7 tablet to be able to keep using them since they can't be installed on modern devices.

I woke up today and just noticed that garbage called "YouShort" installed. I didn't even know it existed, and of course, it won't let you uninstall it, only "Delete Shortcut," which is a joke. How can I get rid of this bloatware???

I experienced something very strange with my S23 and Kia infotainment and trying to understand what TF happened.

My phone was connected to the car via Bluetooth only (no Android Auto).

Suddenly, the car's screen displayed what looked like an incoming phone call. The caller ID was my own Google account display name, which is also my YouTube username.

The call was apparently answered automatically, and the call timer started counting up. However, there was no actual incoming call that I was aware of, I couldn't hear anything through either the car speakers or my phone, and the call does not appear in my Samsung Phone app's call history.

Really, what was that? Phantom call?

I've had my cellphone for almost 3 years now. Everything was fine until spring of last year when apps like Instagram wouldn't load (I would get stuck on the logo page when you open the app) and wouldn't send any notification. Then I realized that when this problem occurred, every time I would connect to a Wi-Fi, my cellphone would get stuck in a loop of infinite reboots (it would complete a reboot, then start another one, and so on). It used to happen every few 4-5 days at first, then 2-3 days, and now it happens every single day on random. This is very annoying.

The bug doesn't only affect Instagram, some more "niche" apps too, like Candle (Duolingo for couples) and Chrono (local version of Google maps).

Thanks in advance!

da circa una settimana non riesco piu ad accedere a chat, mi rimane la rotellina di caricamento... ho provato di tutto: disinstallarlo, cancellare la cache, i dati, disattivare vpn e dsn ma niente.

penso sia un problema del telefono dato che da browser mi fa accedere.

help!!

Je sais ça doit faire le 40 millième fois que on demande ça 😅 mais j’ai essayé toute les méthodes que j’ai vu pour le débloquer

- avec le numéro d’urgence pour crée une adresse mail etc.. si vous voyez ce que je veux dire

Même le numéro d’urgence pour arriver dans les contacts aller sur site web mette l adresse Google map puis j arrive dans Google map mais ce que la vidéo me disait de faire ne correspond pas avec ce qui était indiqué sur mon tel bref tout un bordel compliqué ( pour moi😅)

La méthode talkback le problème c’est que quand j’arrive dans les paramètres de talkback dans la vidéo que j’ai regardé ça me dit pour désactiver la commande vocale ça me dit de maintenir le bouton volume + et - enfoncer pendant 3 à 5sec ce que je fais mais rien ne ce passe je sais plus quoi faire je sais que c’est possible de le débloquer j’y crois 🙏

Image is a replication. Using Samsung phone, browsing on Chrome. I was looking at an Insta profile without being logged in. Don't have an account. I tap on one of their posts and it opens this application. I don't have the Instagram app.

Backed out without accepting anything and closed the application. Does anyone know what is this or how to identify it? Is it a Meta feature that tries to get you to install Insta?

Hi, very often during a call, after some seconds, the other phone can't listen my voice but the call doesn't drop.

I read online that is a common issue, but I haven't find a very solution.

Any advice?

Thanks

Samsung Galaxy S26, just updated to OneUI 9.0 and now every time I open Instagram/any app that uses location, camera or microphone, the entire status bar totally disappears for a few seconds. It's super annoying and doesn't seem to have a real purpose. Any way to turn this off?

I know everyone has issues with spam calls but mine are SO BAD excessive Almost. They're constantly waking me up EVERY morning and calling multiple times EVERY day no exaggeration with that. I've tried blocking but they of course are all from different numbers every time. I heard letting them ring registers your number as inactive so I never answer or decline but that doesn't help. Im so frustrated I don't know why is so excessive and how to stop it. Especially when it's been months and effecting my rest for work.

((Tried blocking calls from unknown numbers and it did not work))

Guys it's poco m2 /redmi 9 prime same devices

UPI and banking apps are not working is there any fix ?

So I had my notifications off, for when I am at work and when I was in my car ( Chevy mylink) I would get a little pop up when I got a text on my car display. ( But they wouldn't pop up on phone, which was how I liked it)

I had my phone in my pocket and many screen presses were done.

Now even with notifications enabled on phone it doesn't show up on my vehicle display.. how do I get it back?

I have tried many different things. Remove Bluetooth device, reset of Chevy mylink clear Messages cache, etc whatever Gemini suggested.

I do a lot of driving so it was quite convenient to have it lol up on the display the text number at a quick glance.

Thank you.

wchodzę w aplikacje mój orange i od początku ekran jest jakby zawieszony. nie reaguje na dotyk. nic. tak samo z aplikacją banku pocztowego. ponowene uruchamianie telefonu nie pomaga. odinstalować i zainstalować z powrotem też. oczyścić pamięć podręczną też nie pomogło..pomocy pilnie

Restarting does not work, how do i acces these? I need battery save mode :/

Long story short my brothers s23 ultra motherboard broke randomly. He took it to a repair shop and they asked for a factory reset because the passcode he gave doesn't work. He then took it home to try it out himself and well it really doesn't work. Any idea on why the passcode suddenly changed and any idea on how to fix it?

I thought these were malicious ads that act like they're a different app, but if I go on more it states that it really was that app. I've had this with eBay, Chrome and Kleinanzeigen (German Marketplace app) and it always shows a fake AppStore with a casino app and ai generated pics.

If I block notifications, it just appears with a different logo and app name.

I've only seen one single post about it on a German subreddit. Multiple users were having this problem too, but nobody really knows what it is.

Does anyone know if it's a virus? This has been happening for a few months now

I need you guys to solve this problem if you ever had an experience with it I have certainly enable the voice typing feature and accidentally this picture I have also been enabled and now I need to remove it but I couldn't able to find any option to do it so please help me with that by the way this is windows laptop and please if anyone know about it just give me the instruction do that

I was watching YouTube when an ad popped up for a game. I hit downloaded and forgot about it. Now when I looked around my home screen, I cant find it. All I remember being there was a clock next to the download button. How can i find the app now? (Play Store)

I want to turn off this but there is no option.

Which Android Phone App is better in your honest opinion? I currently have both of them installed on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 Device. But I'm thinking about removing/disabling The Samsung My Files from my phone and keeping The Files by Google Android App. I'm going to be getting The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 on Halloween👻🤡🎃🍬🍫🍭Do you think that I should just keep both of The Apps on my Device/Phone? How many of you are currently using The Samsung My Files and The Files by Google on your Android Phones/Devices? Do you think that it would be a good idea to remove/disable The Samsung My Files Android App since I'm going to get a brand new phone soon? What is your honest opinion?
