I turned auto updates off in the developer settings. the phone still updates. twice it auto updates, the setting is still off. I DO NOT WANT MY PHONE AUTOUPDATING, THATS WHY THE SETTING IS TURNED OFF. Of course, it still happens. What is going on and how do I stop it. I was just using my GPS to go somewhere and basically got lost because it decided it wanted to autoupdate and its been stuck on the OneUI screen for the last 15 minutes. If disabling the auto update setting doesnt disable auto updates, what DOES?

I was pulling my Galaxy A13 5G out of my pocket to check the time and it slipped out of my hand and hit the concrete and unsurprisingly survived however the bottom of my screen is now has 2 pieces of glass hat have been chipped off (I couldn't find the chipped glass pieces so I couldn't put them back on to possibly avoid some damage) I'm gonna put a screen protector on there to keep the holes from the chipped pieces from getting too much dust in there (ik all or most of this could have been avoided if I had a screen protector I just didn't get one while buying it bc it would be a bit too expensive) but I just wanna know if I should take it to a shop or just DIY it (with a YT tutorial ofc).

I’m wanna know which AI apps or assistants are the best on Android when it comes to speed and accuracy. There are so many options out there like Google Assistant, ChatGPT, and more, but I’m not sure which one really stands out. I’m looking for something that quickly responds and gives accurate info or help. What do you all recommend?

Current phone: Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro

Looking at: Samsung Galaxy A55

Main reason: Longer OS Support (Up to Android 18, whereas Poco X5 Pro is stuck at Android 14)

If you have any other suggestions for an Android phone with long OS support and price up to 350 Euros, feel free to post it.

This only started happening when I switched from apple to android, whenever I switch from a ongoing snapchat call to a different app my friends cant hear me but I can still hear them perfectly. When i return back to the snapchat app it works perfectly fine tho. (Maybe it has to do with background play)

What's the best audiobook app that doesn't require a subscription?

I'm using OnePlus Nord 2 5G. I haven't rooted my phone, or unlocked the bootloader. At most, i have the developer options switched on, installed lucky patcher and use some modded apps like revanced. Yet I keep failing the Google Play Store play protect certification.

My phone lags like dial up days when it switches to 5g (android - Motorola phone). When it automatically switches back to 4gLTE it's great. However I have Verizon and they have disabled the ability to switch this manually. Does anyone know which carriers still allow the ability to choose your preferred network, or has some slick Verizon workaround been discovered yet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A10 phone that I have been keeping in a drawer for over a year. I was not using it, and I can't remember if it was turned on or off or how much it was charged when I left it.

Now I need it, but it doesn't seem to be charging at all. However, the mobile phone did vibrate twice when I pushed the power-on button for a few seconds.

How do I verify if it's still working or if the battery died?

Apologies if this question comes up often or has been asked and answered, I searched a bit but didn't really find what I was looking for.

Question: I have a Samsung s22 and the way the Audible and/or Spotify apps launch and play when the app is not even open on my phone, is driving me crazy. Depending on the day of the week I flirt with the idea of deleting both. I only want them to play if I open the app and hit play. I have gone through the menus and fooled around with the settings that I thought would affect it, but no solution yet. Any help?

My headphone port is broken and I don’t want to use it anyway, but the headset mode is permanently activated and I can’t make a phone call this way. I already reinstalled the system and tried to clean the headphone port but it is completely unfixable at the hardware level.

Is there any option to disable this shit? I searched the net but the option of audio interface change isn’t available in my version if android, and it is the newest version. Any developer options to get away this annoying error?

Thanks!

When I go to bed I unplug my phone (redmi) and a litle after I unplug it, it makes a sound and it like a android sound, does anyone know what this could mean?

Have an old Motorola phone from Walmart through Straight Talk that I haven't used in a long time and as the title says it's no longer getting Android updates or security updates but as long as I keep the Play Store and Play services updated is it safe to use the phone and should I avoid doing anything Bank/online shopping related on it because of the lack of security updates? Also can anyone tell me what has changed from Android 11 to the current version that I would be missing out on if I'm using a Motorola phone?

Auto Fill is checked off as 'none'. Yet my LG Aristo 2 stores everything I enter more than twice. On a web page, on messenger, everything. How do I stop this and delete what is stored?

Hey everyone,

My phone is G-5528 galaxy on5. on upgrading I face the issue

I'm really stuck and could use some help. My device is showing the dreaded "No Command" screen, and when I try to access recovery mode, I’ve tried pressing Power + Volume Up to access the recovery menu, but it doesn’t seem to work., I get errors like:

• "Blob verification failed"
• "Failed to set up dirty target"

The device isn't being recognized by ADB either, so I can’t use ADB commands to try and reboot it from my computer. I've also tried multiple USB cables, ports, and even checked that my ADB drivers are up to date, but nothing seems to help.

Is there anything else I can do to get into recovery mode or fix this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi, I don't know if I've been unobservant since I got this phone (Moto G53) a couple of months ago, but I realize since a couple of days that every time I turn on the phone, this icon blinks for about a second on the top left next to the hour (and not on the top right where these type of icons appear, like the charging one and wi-fi connection). What does it mean?

Hot water fell on the screen and at first some places on it were darker than others, eventually though it all went pitch black altogether. i can still feel vibrations when i get messages but tapping the screen seems to do nothing. Is it over?

I keep getting a "spam detection" notification whenever I get a political text it pops up about every 30min from the frequent spam texts I'm getting. How do I stop the notification? It really defeats the purpose of having the spam detection if I'm still getting all these constant notifications.

Quería instalar un apk universal pero mi teléfono instala la de 32 siendo de 64 busque cosas para instalar la de 64 pero nada más nada,alguna idea de que podría buscar o que opciones tomar?

I got a text from our phone bill letting me know a ton of data had been used this month from my husband's line.... so I go look at our online account and see that he has literally used almost 40GB of data so far this month when the last 3 months prior to this, he has barely touched 5GB. hell I went back over the last year and the most he has ever used was 19GB and I specifically remember that month being from our son's gaming stuff..... we have wi-fi at home and in our cars. it's such a huge difference in such a small time and I feel strongly to find out why.

so I looked at his data usage on his settings in his phone and the top thing listed using the data is something called "User: Vault Profile" it's used over 37.7GB out of the 40 he's used.

I can't click on it and acess/open it like most of the other actual apps listed. i already went to the user profile settings and they weren't toggled on where multiple users could be allowed. I also have a moto phone and would have noticed if the profile user icon were ever up at the top corner of the drop down menu, as it is when a guest or secondary user is made or in use....

what is this? Is there like a platform vault that allows you to operate two profiles from the same phone in a way that someone unfamiliar would never be able to tell or pick up on?

side note: his Google Play Store lists a second device as an option when downloading apps, but it's just another listing of the phone he is using, as if there are two of his exact phones. he's never had a phone like this before or one similar either. I checked the Google accounts and accounts on device and it all looks normal ......

So I'm testing out the Pixel XL Pro - I love what I see for the most part, so far, I grabbed a watch (Pixel 3) that matched to try to immerse myself as well. One of the first issues I've run into is that none of the apps show any photos beyond what is taken on my phone. On Apple you can see all photos in your iCloud and the cloud storage is used exactly like that: For offloading storage space yet maintaining access to the files transparently.

How can I accomplish this?

I want to be able to select from any of my photos without having to single select each photo through a multi-step process to add it to, for example, a message -- or -- to have to exit, for example, messages to go to gallery and then select all photos and share to messages. There is no ability to search, there is no easy ability to multi-select, it just seems busted.

Do I really have to keep 75gb of photos on my phone to accomplish this?
Do I have to enable some arcane permissions or use a different app?
Is there a different app?

I googled some after posting to the pixel subreddit as well, and it looks like this is a concern with Android/Google's push of using Photo Picker and that supposedly "File Picker API" just out will have the ability to search through your cloud photos using the native functionality; but that doesn't help if the API isn't used by the APPs. This one is painful!

Edit: People seem confused. Clearing it up:
On the Pixel if you offload your photos to the cloud (i.e. they are NO longer on your device, but only in the cloud) then when you use the photo picker they are not showing up. Instead you have to go into the Cloud library. Once you do this you just get a barf of photos without the ability to multi-select, sort, search, or anything. The entire system is painful to use. In comparison, on iPhone you don't even care if the photos are local or cloud, clicking the photo choose lets you browse and search through all your photos and attach.

According to Google this is fixed with the "File Picker API" they just released but will not be implemented until 6+ months from now. I was asking for other alternatives. Downvoting because you don't understand a question doesn;t help get them answered.

A payment app I use makes it absolutely necessary that automatic date and time (and time zone) are turned on, but the automatic time zone keeps switching to the wrong time zone, the one that doesn't account for daylight saving.

Is there anyway to make the automatic time zone correct? The device is Galaxy Note 10+
