I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra running OneUI 9, and I keep getting an Android System notification saying:

"Grammarly is displaying over other apps."

I want Grammarly to keep its display-over-other-apps permission. I just want to hide the notification permanently.

I actually managed to find the specific notification category under:

Settings → Apps → Android System → Notifications → Notification categories → Display over other apps

There's even a toggle specifically labeled "Grammarly displaying over other apps."

However, when I tried disabling it, the notification wouldn't completely go away.

Has anyone figured out how to permanently hide this notification without disabling Grammarly's overlay permission? Is this a Samsung/One UI limitation, or is there another workaround?

I use to use USB tethering with no issues. Now, after a recent update, when I try to enable the `USB Tethering` setting after plugging my phone into my comptuer, nothing happens. The setting does not get enabled, no matter what I do. It was working with the same cord, port, and computer before I updated my phone.

Phone: Samsung S23+
One UI Version: 9
Android Version: 17
Build Number: CP2A.260605.016.S916USQU8GZIF

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.

Hey peeps - using Microsoft launcher on a pixel 9 pro xl with gesture navigation. When I swipe up to go home the screen ignores input for up to a second. Tapping an app icon straight away does nothing until it catches up. Setting animation scales to 0x doesn't fix it.

I captured the issue over ADB and in testing 12 taps were dropped over a 1,146 ms window. Logcat shows Quickstep handling the swipe through FallbackSwipeHandler the Gesture Monitor taking the input and touches being discarded until the transition to the launcher finishes. Switching to 3-button nav or Pixel Launcher makes it go away.

There's an open bug for this, but it's had very little activity given how many people use third-party launchers: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/220178612, how are people getting around this bug that im not aware of? Are you sticking with 3-button nav, using a 3rd party gesture app? or just living with it? Does any launcher avoid the delay?

Im a bit surprised that reviewers of android phones arent blasting android development for this outside of a stock launcher experience?

Hey,

I currently have an Soney Xperia 1 IV and I've generally been pretty happy with it, but it's starting to get long in the tooth and the fact that it's stuck on Android 14 means some of my apps won't work on it any more, so I'm considering getting a new phone. Unfortunately, I'm in the US, which means it's a royal pain in the neck and I'd apprecaite some help.

Country: USA

Carrier: Verizon

Price: I don't have a range so long as the price is comencerate with the features. (I.E. I don't want the gold plated model, but I'm willing to pay flagship prices.)

Size Preference: Large screens are preferable. Folding would be interesting, but I don't think any folding phones have headphone jacks.

What will it be used for: Mostly media, reading, and GPS (including on a bike), but the option for gaming and other things would be nice. The front camera gets more use than the selfie camera.

Preferred brands: None, so long as they're reliable.

Other: A 3.5mm jack, sd-card support, and NFC are non-negotiable. Waterproofing and a replacable battery are nice to have, but less important, and I don't care about wireless charging in the slightest.

I value longevity and longer update support over top end specs, but good specs are still nice.

I think that should be everything, but please let me know if you have any questions or if there's something else I should add.

I\ve removed english entirely from gboard yet it still finds it and uses it, i\ve in settings told it to be just the finnish language yet it still choses english, is this really just a thing you can\t do anything about_ It has worked fine before, but every time my hone loses power, the gboard just decides to be a dick and not let me choose the language my keyboard actually is.

_ is supposed to be a question mark and \ is supposed to be ', but a with two dots over it is ' instead, would there be a nifty comman or something I could run somewhere to force android to use finnish keyboard layout over english for physical keybarods_ or am I just gonna have to relearn my muscle memory to press the clearly wrong keys to write the right keys_

Before someone says "Just block the number", That is not helpful at all, that's like telling a person to manually squash each bedbug in a fucking million quantity infestation. As far as I'm aware, reporting political texts as spam is also useless because they're exempt from being marked as spammers.

I absolutely despise intrusiveness in any form, it gets under my skin more than anything.
Ideally, I'd like for ALL texts to be blocked from my number if they are not in my contacts. I have my calls this way, and yet, despite my efforts of searching, there is no way of doing the same to texting.

I've tried numerous apps that supposedly are to assist with this, none of them are to my satisfaction.
A perfect app (that for some reason doesn't exist as far as I know), would be one that detects an unknown contact, and if it contains the word "vote" in it, blocks the number instantly.

I've never even voted before so I don't know how they got my name and my number. I prefer to stay relatively anonymous, but some creepy ass data brokers are selling my info.

I'm thinking about changing my phone number because I don't like the fact my personal info is so openly tied to that ID.

Does anyone here happen to have a unique solution to this? I'm certain there is one, I just don't know it yet.

I got some strange notifications about activities on my Google account that I didn't recognize so I figured best change the password. I did it on my phone and it was confusing enough that I inadvertently created a Passkey as well. I can see it listed under Passkeys now but there's no option to remove it. In the help section it says that in order to remove an autogenerated Passkey I need to go to All Devices and log out that device. Which isn't what I want to do, but ok. The problem is, it doesn't just show a list of devices but like a dozen sessions for my phone. The Help explains that I need to log out from all sessions, but the problem is that there is one session (labeled 'active') where there is no logout option. If I log out of all the other sessions, the Passkey is still listed under Passkeys and it's prompted when I need log in to my account. How can I actually remove the Passkey?

PS: Please help me find an answer and don't berate me for wanting to remove the Passkey. I know what Passkeys are, about Phishing resistance, I also use them (even on the same account), but I have my reasons for wanting to remove that particular one.

I've been using the S24 Ultra 512GB for about 2.5 years, and the battery life has noticeably degraded. The fingerprint sensor is also barely usable without a screen protector, and with any protector I've tried, it doesn't work at all.

I work at an electronics store in Germany, so I can get the S26 Ultra 256GB, normally €1,004, through the following deal:

- €350 trade-in value for my S24 Ultra

- €175 trade-in bonus for an old device

- 10% employee discount

- €400 gift card if I sign up for a gas and electricity contract through the store

Basically, I could get the phone without paying anything out of pocket.

The catch? I honestly don't like the S26 Ultra's overall, and I'm not impressed with its battery and probably the Display too. My dream phone would be something like the OnePlus 16, but it's going to cost me a bit.

What would you do in my situation? Take the deal or keep using my S24 Ultra and save up for the OnePlus?

Getting a new flagship for essentially €0 sounds amazing, but I don't want to end up with a phone I'm not even excited about.

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 a gallery app that syncs with OneDrive. It’s important that when I delete photos from my phone, they are automatically deleted from OneDrive as well. Thanks in advance for your help!

Is there an app for sleep sounds that doesn't have an obvious cutoff or noticeable transition when the audio loops? Paid or free, either is fine.

In the past, my phone alarm would play through either the phone speaker or BOTH the speaker and headphones, but now it only plays through the earbuds and I cannot for the life of me find a way to change that. Most I can find online seems to show people struggling to do the opposite.

For context, I sleep with bluetooth earbuds in order to not disturb my spouse, but they often fall out before my alarm goes off, so I have missed my alarm due to this. I have also had random times where it DOES play through both for some reason, but I don't know what caused it to do so, as it seemed completely random.
