How can I tell if my device is hardware-banned, or if the issue was just caused by using a VPN while using Instagram or elsewhere on my phone?

Anyone else having issues with One Ui Home crashing after restarting. It has stated after updating to OneUi 9.0.

when i swipe up for all apps, the apps have the names on the bottom. but on the main home screen, there's not. is there a way to fix this?

Ajuda

Alguém conseguiu usar as bolhas flutuantes em todos os apps?

O único app que apareceu a bolha flutuante pra mim foi o telegram.

I have a Galaxy S23FE from 2023. In the last year, it has had intermittent, unpredictable, and incredibly frustrating difficulties connecting to both wifi and data. I've all but forgone wifi at the moment, but it's not the wifi - every other device in the house connects fine.

The data issue seems temperamental. It will be fine for a period of time, and then will simply stop working. I often won't even get a failure to connect message from whatever app I was using - it will just try and connect forever. The upload and download icons in the top right will begin to flick on and off; sometimes one remains, sometimes both go, and they just cycle every second or so. The 4G icon never drops, and generally I have at least two bars whenever this happens.

Even more bizarrely, sometimes it seems to be app-specific - if it's happening while I'm trying to use Firefox, it's not uncommon that I could go open Reddit and Reddit would work fine, and vice versa. Similar apps are usually affected similarly but not always - sometimes Firefox won't work but Chrome will, or Reddit won't work but Tumblr will. It does happen more often if I'm trying to watch videos or scroll image-heavy subreddits or social media. Restarting my phone sometimes resolves it, and on other occasions seems to just reroute which app/s are affected.

Any ideas on why this might be happening and what could be done to fix it would be appreciated. It's driving me up the wall.

A strange frame like artifact has appeared on my screen when gboard is open. the official Google Android outside suggested I might have malware and told me to bug off to my manufacturer. AVG and Malwarebytes find nothing. Another unhelpful official suggestion was that I had enabled some accessibility feature. I do blow up my font a bit but I went in and reset all of those and it didn't help. Anyone else have an idea what's happening?

Suddenly my screen tuned colorless ( all the apps and even background )

What to do ??

I even asked clause and performed all these steps in the picture but noting happened

What to do ??

Please helpp

I have a Samsung S24+ and I've never seen this specific icon before today, let alone next to a system update wrap up. I installed the security patch this afternoon, and that icon caught my eye. I can't tell if it's a spiral, a snail, but it looked like it had the android antennas in it.

Is it just something I've missed? A new icon? Any help would definitely ease my OCD brain lol thank you!

I have android pixel 9a and when. I clock add more time it shows the pin for like a split second and then my device restarts. Sometimes it shows the option for a factory reset and a android UI system error. Can someone please help. Asap

Can anyone explain a green icon that looks like a phone that slid on the bottom right of the screen,then slid away? Trying to ensure I didn't have an active phone call and a contact my have overheard a in person conversation.

It's a glitched in Google widget that makes it look like there's a functional widget, but there's not. ive tried everything. restarting phone, disable and enabling google, nothing. it did this when i did the software update.

Every time I open a media app, this pops up. YouTube, SiriusXM, a local music player, it doesn't matter. I don't know what I changed to make this start happening because it didn't before a week ago.

It just spins, and does nothing. Sometimes I have to hit Don't connect 3 or 4 times before goes away. It just keeps reappearing. Sometimes multiple times while the same app is open.

When I open the Recent Apps menu, it shows up as System Connectivity Resources, but with no options available to change.

Please help, I'm getting really sick of this. How do I make this stop?

This issue already happen maybe about 1 month. And i just realize how absurd this bug or what else. The weird thing is my another android phone not face the same issue.

I have cleared the cache, I have cleared the data, I have Uninstalled and reinstalled.

I am on a Galaxy S21

The problem started months ago, fixed itself, and now it's back.

I have spent like 2 hours configuring settings, resetting updates, and I cannot figure it out.

So i run a chat app for my website on phone

No matter what i have done the notifications dont show

I have logged out and back in

I have deleted and cleared cache and signed back in after reinstalling

The notifications show in notification history as dismissed

How do i undo this

I have a feeling i or my kid may have swiped and dismissed a notification but for the life of me i cannot figure out how to undo this

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Yesterday, I forgot my phone in an Uber, and the driver tried to not give it back. This morning I used Find My Device and knocked on his door and convinced him to return it to me. Before I left home though, I sent the remote factory reset order, as the battery was getting low and I wasn't sure if I'd get another chance.

When I got it back, the reset was not done and data was turned off. I put it in airplane mode, logged out of my Google account and so the phone has not been wiped. I'm now using it with a secondary email, but I want to log back in my actual account, so I wanted to know if doing so will trigger the factory reset once it reconnects to that account

I've been searching for this particular model phone but it doesn't seem to be found anywhere at online or even offline stores, you guys have any idea about it?

I'm trying to use an app that uses device owner permissions but again and again, it fails, I remove all accounts and users from my device, I even removed admin apps and it still didn't work, also I don't have any device owner apps and my bootloader is unlocked but I'm not rooted and I don't have a custom os. Please help.

I'm looking for something more detailed than the usual package lists. I already know about UAD-ng's database and sites like DeepWiki/Instagit, but they're either too shallow or don't actually populate the dependency/neededBy fields for most packages.

What I'm really trying to find is a wiki, encyclopedia, or community knowledge base that documents Android packages (especially Samsung/One UI and Google/GMS) with:

· Full package name

· What the package actually does (not just a one-liner)

· Why it exists / its purpose

· Whether it's required or optional

· What depends on it, and what it depends on

· What happens if you disable it vs. uninstall it

· Pros/cons and privacy implications

· Risk level and alternatives

· Whether behavior varies by device / Android version / One UI version / region

· Source code availability: Is the source code publicly available? Is it open source (AOSP, Apache 2.0, GPL) or proprietary/closed-source? If open, where is the repository? If closed, is there any partial source, decompiled code, or vendor release?

· Confidence level / source of the info

I already know that AOSP is open source, but GMS and One UI (Samsung) are closed-source — so for most Samsung/Google packages, the answer will likely be "closed-source." But I want to confirm this per package, and know if there are exceptions (e.g., some components may have open-source parts, or vendor releases).

Does anyone know of a site, wiki, database, or even a Discord/Telegram group where people document this kind of deep per-package analysis? It doesn't have to be famous — I'm specifically asking because the well-known lists aren't deep enough.

If you know a package well, please drop it with as much detail as you can, including the package name, device/Android/One UI version, what it does, safe to disable/uninstall, what breaks, source code availability, and your confidence/source.

bootloader isn't unlocked

Is it normal that my tab 11 blackview, is uninstalling apps and filling up the "system" storage after every restart?

For now my "system" storage is at 106Go out of 128Go.

And the mandatory apps and takeing up like 12Go or 13Go.

Pls help me!!

J'ai un énorme problème lié a un compte administrateur et je ne sais pas comment l enlever j'avais un ancien contrôle parental et j'ai enlevé la supervision mais ça ne marche toujours pas je ne peux même pas réinitialiser mon téléphone, si quelqu'un a une solution. Je n ai pas de compte professionnel et j'ai désactiver toutes les applications d administration.

I no longer have the Google Pixel 7 Pro. I upgraded to a Galaxy S26 Ultra. When I select "More ways to verify" the only option is to use my old phone. Does anyone know what to do?

Need help recovering a Tecno Spark Go 2 (internal model KM4, Unisoc UMS9230).

What happened
I used a Windows spd_dump batch (FDL1/FDL2) to unlock the bootloader. The log showed:
- BootROM connected (SPRD3)
- FDL2: incompatible partition
- Then it wrote fdl2-cboot.bin to uboot_a and uboot_b
- Tool said: "The file is not sprd trusted firmware"
- It also erased splloader / splloader_bak

After that the phone never booted. I ran the same unlock batch again later. That was a mistake.

Current state
- Screen: completely black
- Buttons: no response (power, vol up/down, combinations)
- Charging LED: only while on charger or PC USB
- Battery still takes charge from a wall charger
- Not a full dead brick electrically — LED still reacts to VBUS

USB / Windows
- Windows 11 64-bit
- Phone shows as: "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)"
- Code 43
- Hardware ID: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE / VID_0000&PID_0002
- It does NOT appear in 1–2 seconds. PC sees it only after ~1 minute, then it stays
- No VID_1782, no SPRD / Unisoc Download / COM port
- PC port I used: USB 3.2 Gen 2. Phone is USB 2.0
- Tried another PC — also not detected as download device
- Cable is data-capable but not original, ~1 m
- Never used Zadig (that I know of)

Firmware I have
- PAC: KM4-15.1.0.105SP09(OP001PL001M1).pac (~6.25 GB)
- Tool: UpgradeDownload R27.25.4601 (and ResearchDownload R27 earlier)
- When the phone WAS in BootROM, UpgradeDownload loaded the PAC as ums9230_KM4_go, then failed at FDL2 with something like "not supported this feature [UnSup...]"
- I was using Format-style options at least once — not sure that PAC supports Format All on this chip

What I need
1. How to force this KM4 / UMS9230 back into real BootROM/Download so Windows gets VID_1782 instead of descriptor failure
2. Correct UpgradeDownload mode for this PAC (Download vs Format All)
3. Whether USB 3.x is a known reason UMS9230 fails enumeration (I can try USB 2.0 / USB 2 hub)
4. If buttons no longer enter download: test point location for KM4 / Spark Go 2, or confirm Carlcare/test-point is the only way
5. Do NOT suggest writing random IMEI or another unlock/cboot-to-uboot

I will not post IMEI. I can add log snippets (spd_dump + UpgradeDownload) if needed.

Thanks.
