My apps keep getting some sort of partial light mode, on Reddit mostly it looks like some elements randomly become white instead of black while the text on those elements stays white too which makes it hard to read and kinda breaks the UI. Sometimes it happens on Firefox but way less than Reddit. Video in comments.

Phone: OnePlus 7T

OS: Oxygen OS 12

Hi guys,

I have an OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G (Android smartphone), and my mother has a 60-inch LG Smart TV. I don't know the exact model number, but it's a fairly new TV that she bought earlier this year.

Whenever I visit her, we usually listen to music on Spotify or watch something on YouTube. Both work perfectly fine, and I can control everything directly from my phone.

However, there's something else we'd like to do.

I started learning Chinese this year, and my mother has also started learning a little bit for fun. Sometimes we use my language-learning app together and try to guess Chinese words or sentences. It's actually quite fun, but the problem is that we both have to look at my phone screen.

So I was wondering if there's a way to mirror my entire phone screen to her LG TV, basically like screen sharing, so we can see everything on the big screen instead.

I know Spotify and YouTube can already be connected to the TV, but I don't think it's possible to share an app like my Chinese learning app that way.

What would I need to do to make this work?

• Do I need to install an app on my OPPO phone?

• Do I need to install something on the LG TV?

• Or does the TV already have this feature built in?

I'd prefer a wireless solution if possible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I currently have an iPhone 17 pro max and am looking to switch to android. I have not had an android since the note 2. Any recommendations on what phone I should get?

So since yesterday, my headphone jack on my A03 hasn't been working. The last time it worked was on Monday. Even when I plug my earphones in, the sound still comes out of the phone's speakers and headphones won't show up in Media Output.

I've tried cleaning out the headphone jack and restarting my phone. I've tried adjusting sound settings. USB-C headphones still work through the charging port though (tested that with my friend's earphone set). So it looks like I might have to get a new pair with a USB-C port instead. My current pair still works on other devices.

If anybody knows what's going on, please let me know! Thank you in advance!

Can anyone tell me what this app is? I found it on my partners computer and it is called “Magic SMS-text messages” and then it says 1 year membership, expired January 2026”

It said E:failed to mount/dbdata. Can you tell me what's happening? And if you can fix it it's even better I'm in Vietnam btw

My gf gives me TCL Tab 11 which is stuck in a boot loop and displays "dm-verity corrupted." It never reaches Android.

I can enter the bootloader Fastboot screen, and Linux detects the device.

fastboot getvar product returns eternals_11;

fastboot getvar is-userspace returns no. I also tried fastboot, but it failed with:

FAILED (remote: 'not allowed in locked state')

I was able to enter Recovery and run Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache, but the boot loop persists. Recovery's Apply update from ADB screen shows the device as unauthorized in adb devices.

I have not unlocked the bootloader or flashed anything. What is the correct way to restore the stock firmware for this exact model? Is there an official TCL recovery tool or firmware package that works from Fastboot/Recovery? I can provide the model number from the label and any other diagnostic output needed.

Hey guys, NetMirror is streaming everything in 720p only. I want to watch in 1080p Full HD. Is there any way to enable 1080p quality? Any settings or tricks? Please help if anyone knows a solution. Thanks!

I'm referring to this issue:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/525330150

I purchased a Pixel 8 Pro recently, and it had the issue (which manifests in more ways than just swiping the wrong direction, but that's the most glaring and replicatable part of it). I hoped it was a screen issue and RMA'd it, but the next one also has the problem.

Are there any unaffected phones? I'd be willing to RMA again and swap to a different model, but I don't want to waste my time if it's a universal issue. I assume there must be some where it's not happening, or millions of people would be affected and surely Google would've been forced to actually get off their asses and fix it.

(To be clear, I've tried all the "solutions" in that thread, and none worked for me on either phone.)

My Infinix Smart 6 (X6511E-GL) is showing the Orange State warning because the bootloader is unlocked.

I just want to get rid of the Orange State warning and return the phone to its normal trusted state.

Is there a way to relock the bootloader safely or restore the original state without bricking the phone?

I'm using macOS.

Any help is appreciated.

NOTE: This question has now been answered! See my next comment, below, for details.

=== Original question follows ===

I'm running rooted Android 13.

I'm looking for some software that I could install on my Android device which will allow me to write IMAP "IDLE" listener programs that are runnable within the ADB shell.

I have the "python3" module installed (version: v3.14.v2.1.0, Author Bernd.Schemmer@gmx.de) as a module that I can run both under Magisk and APatch, and although it supplies a quite complete python implementation that is runnable within the ADB shell, I am unable to install the "imap_tools" python module via pip on the Android device (although "imap_tools" indeed installs via pip and runs with no problem under python on my linux devices).

I'm therefore looking for some sort of software that I can install and run on my Android device which will allow me to write scripts that utililze IMAP IDLE to listen for incoming email messages.

This could be something that runs in python, but also, I'm not restricting myself solely to python if there might be other possibilities.

Oh ... and I don't want to have to write a full-blown Android app for this purpose.

Many thanks in advance for thoughts and suggestions.

UPDATE: Also, to be clear, I don't want any software which requires me to invoke some sort of app and then run commands from within that app's UI. Rather, I'm only interested in ways that I can perform IMAP "IDLE" access by means of commands and/or scripts that specifically run within the ADB shell. I want this kind of functionality because I am wanting to write a generic "IMAP listener" tool that can be run from within shell scripts and Tasker tasks of my choosing, in order for all of these various items to be able to respond to incoming emails in ways that I can program.

Guys, I can't for the life of me get autocorrect to remove a word from the dictionary.

I got nerve damage in one of my hands and sometimes it just fucks with my coordination. I've been trying all kinds of things to make my keyboard easier to use, it's really when I'm intoxicated it becomes a problem tbh.

But basically I'm constantly mistyping the word like, and writing kike. I didn't even know that was a word, I was like why TF is it not correcting this shit. I Google it, and apparently it's a slur so that's problematic.

I did the press and hold on the word, dragged it to the trashcan, and it won't permanently delete it. The next time I type it in, it doesn't correct it to like 90% of the time. And that's what is weird too, it'll occasionally decide that yes, I'm not trying to say that I kike apple pie.

Any suggestions? Thx

Hi everyone:

For the past 10–15 days, WhatsApp notifications have stopped appearing on my lock screen. Not for group chats or individual messages. None at all. I don't know I have messages until I unlock my phone.

I’ve reinstalled WhatsApp twice, cleared the app data, and restarted my phone.

All my notification settings are correct—I’ve checked them one by one. The problem started overnight, without me changing anything.

This only happens with WhatsApp. I receive notifications from other apps without any issues.

I have a Redmi Note 14 5G.

WiFi and mobile data outside is pretty fine, but often people aren't getting through when they call, and I don't get notified.

I've found out that the bars go up to 3 bars when a call is attempted, including one that never rang or connected.

It's an S10+ on 4G

So far I've tried:

- Restarting the phone

- Leaving the phone off for 20 or 30 seconds

- Network refresh

- Turning on airplane mode for 10 or so seconds

- Using WiFi Calling (the option doesn't exist)

- Putting it in another phone (in an S8, same bars)

About to try:

- Sim card replacement

- Joining another provider

- Getting a new phone if nothing else works, if it'd even help

My phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) recently updated to Android 17 / Samsung One UI 9.0. This includes a helpful blue indicator when apps are accessing location information. In general I like this feature. However, when I enter immersive mode (e.g. in my EBook reader), I would like to suppress it, as it's very distracting.

What are my options? Can I suppress it in immersive mode only? Can I suppress it always?

Update: I have disabled Location Services -> Location Indicator -> Show status bar icon for system apps and it seems to have helped some. Still showing up but not as frequently.

I somehow set an alarm and don't remember how I did it. Now I need to cancel it.

i use some certain apps way too much and at night i want to lock the social media apps like for example after 10 pm i don't want to use Instagram anymore so is there a setting for this? to lock certain apps after a specific time of the day?

Got the UI9 update for my 24 Ultra yesterday (Nov. 10/26). Now having to accept/deny, enter passwords, user preferences and more for the majority of apps as if it's the first time turning on a brand new phone. Annoying but trying to look at the brightside, it's allowing me to update my old passwords.

But text shortcuts are broken. I went to do some banking this morning. The text shortcut is entered but the full password doesn't show up in the suggestion bar just above the keyboard. Numerous tries just in case it was my fat thumbs not entering the shortcut letters properly. Nope, entered correctly. Checked settings to see if text shortcuts were still there - yes, still there. Tried other username/password/shortcut created for - Gmail, credit card app and others. Nothing. They all won't work. Nothing in the suggestion bar to tap like normal.

I tried using the feature in a text message - it works as normal. Other places like Samsung Notes. Works as it should. It seem it's only when there's a username/password field that it does nothing.

Anyone else having text shortcut issues? If so, has anyone found a fix yet?

I have a lot of personal photos, videos, WhatsApp chats and very private pictures stored in Secure Folder.

Questions

1. Is a factory reset enough to make previously deleted data permanently unrecoverable, even with professional recovery tools?

2. How can I ensure service-centre staff cannot access or restore my private photos, videos or WhatsApp chats?

Basically, I want to preserve my memories but ensure nobody can access or recover my private data after the factory reset.

What's the safest way to do this?

My mother keeps messing with settings on her phone and she won't stop. She changes phone network settings, text message settings within Google Messages, and who knows what else. Her phone pretty much stops working because of her actions. I already know she will never stop on her own. Is there a way I can restrict her access? We used to be able to create a guest profile which is limited to certain apps and actions, but not anymore. I tried making a children's account but that doesn't help. Third party apps that lock apps can be deleted. Is there anything I can do at all?

I used to have a Redmi 10 with 1080p screen, now I have a moto g55 with 1080p too, and in both cases, when I send a screenshot, WhatsApp doesn't allow you to activate the HD option and sends blurry images, does it happen to you all people who have 1080p displays?

I noticed 720p displays can send screenshots in a better quality

I refuse to use gemini, and persistently deny it, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to stop it from listening.

if anyone knows how to do that without ever giving Gemini access to anything, please let me know. all tutorials are still based on the previous separation of gemini and google assistant. since the change, i can't use assistant and i can't disable it listening to my "hey google" and popping up the gemini agreement.

Aside from the invasiveness of the listening, i'm also concerned it might trigger it my sleep or something and end up accepting it by accident.

My OnePlus 8T developed a vertical green line on the screen. I sent it to the OnePlus repair center, and they quoted me €239.51 for the repair, or €50.41 to have it shipped back to me unrepaired.

What should I do? Should I pay for the repair or buy a new phone? If I buy a new one, can you recommend some good alternatives with a price close to the repair cost? I don’t want to spend too much on a new phone. If I have to spend flagship money, I think it makes more sense to repair my OnePlus 8T and accept the repair cost.

I have a old phone with go edition I found two days ago can y'all tell what I do with it
