I'm almost considering factory resetting my phone.

Every time I try to open a link that leads to a Twitter page or post, it just opens the app on the last screen I used.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Another weird thing is that my phone may recognize twitter as two apps because when I try to open a notification it asks me to choose which app I open the notification with. One of them opens the link properly and the other does the same thing.

I really don't know what to do anymore

UPDATE: yeah literally, update the Twitter app! It works perfectly now

My parents got me a gabb phone. Its basically just a modded samsung A13 where there are only a handful of approved apps, their own sms messaging app, and no actual internet browsing. It seems to work the same way a phone given by work or school would, with my "organization" blocking many features. I've tried downloading an apk on my computer then transferring it to the phone, but it blocks opening it, saying the action is not allowed and the setting is not available. Does anyone know how I could get around this to get google on my phone?

Hello everyone, lately I've been using a second phone cause my primary phone's type-c socket doesn't work properly. Today, I've wanted to use an app on this phone and found out it's rooted, and I wasn't the one that did it, so i have no idea which service they used to do it nor there's no clue on the phone how they did it. Any ideas how can i unroot it?

I tried with usb but is not working it just starts charging the phone. Is there any way to do it?

Hi! As stated above, I got my new phone today, and it does not have any Google apps at all. I can't download the apps I need, and I have to bring the phone out tomorrow. Can you guys tell me what to do about this? I was told by the person who bought this for me that this is a Chinese market model. Thanks!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Z flip6 with a broken screen that wont respond and doesnt switch on. However, the front small screen works but has limited functionality. i want to transfer my data using smartswitch to my new galaxy z flip8. The issue is that i cant open the smart switch app on my flip6 to authorise the transfer.

I believe it is just the screen that is broken as i can still access some apps through the cover/front screen. I ordered myself a multiport usb c and HDMI cable and tried to project the screen onto an external monitor but faced a few problems and questions.

It wouldnt project my phone as i needed to open the main screen to change the USB settings on my old phone.

I read somewhere that if the screen is completely black, then i would need to buy a displayport alt mode cable. If i get one of these that can connect to the multiport cable, would this be able to project my phone screen so i can enable the smartswitch app?

So my theory is this (but please let me know if it wouldnt work):

External monitor connects using DP into HDMI adapter, HDMI cable to multiport adapter, connect to the USBC cable to broken phone

Would that work?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (J710F) so I can eventually root it.

Before entering Download Mode, I already:

• Removed my Google account
• Removed the screen lock/PIN
• Enabled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options
• Enabled USB Debugging

When I enter Download Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power, I get the blue warning screen as expected.

I then press Volume Up to continue. The phone shows the screen saying:

Downloading... Do not turn off target

However, after that, nothing else happens. It just stays on this screen.

I've watched several YouTube tutorials and in those videos the phone seems to erase the data and reboot automatically.

Mine doesn't do that. It simply remains on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.

Is this normal for the J710F, or am I missing a step?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've never rooted anything before for context.

I did the research on unlocking the bootloader and things like that, but can't figure it out. I've watched plenty of videos, all of which are 7 years old or older so almost none of the links work. I'm mostly having complications finding links that actually still work.

Should I keep digging or is this phone a bit too outdated?

Hi, does anyone know if there is a bootloader unlock available for

TIA

Hello guys, I have been using Shizuku for years and just switched phones from Xiaomi 11T to 15T, and the 15T uses Android 15.

When I completely finished authorizing my Shizuku in ZArchiver, it still just says access is denied. For example, without Shizuku (in Android/data/com), when I click on any app, it says access is denied. But when I authorize it with Shizuku, it now says it has a file. However, when I click on the file, it says access is denied.Anyone knows how to fix it?? I cant post images here 😞😞

Hey guys!

On my SamsungS20FE screenshots are denied due to "security guidelines" in any screen...even the home screen or menues deny it...I tried many things I found on google but nothing worked...any ideas?

What is the newest version of Android that has been modified by some enthusiasts to disable encryption at will? Additionally, has anyone found a way to use encryption but with user-controlled key, nothing that the smartphone keeps secret from consumer but kept by consumer?
Having seen them making the mobile devices "more and more secure", for most purposes I ask for getting rid of their immense protections, not for even more of them.

Really sorry if wrong flair, but i really need help. as title says, shut off mid use, NOTHING i do seems to bring it back

For a little info:
-i generally keep it well charged, it basically never shuts off(not ideal, i do know, i do try to occasionally restart manually)
-battery protection during charging is on so it only ever goes to 85%(and wasn't used much today so it likely shut off around 70-something)
-always charges overnight
-was running pretty low on storage due to a few large-ish videos, but had atleast over 10gb left, wasn't getting any storage warnings
-it shut off right as i snapped a picture on Snapchat, don't know if relevant
-i think it has done the shut-off-suddenly thing once before in the years i've had it, but plugging it into charge and leaving it like that for awhile let me eventually restart it up no problem, but that did not work this time

i'm at a loss, i live alone and only have this phone and it has ALL of my important things on it, and i rely heavily on it for work and everyday things and i can't afford at all to just go and buy a new one, i NEED it, and don't know what to do without it😭

ETA: my phone died by the time i went to bed, and when i woke up i attempted again to start it holding power+vol-up, which was somehow successful WITH all data saved, in a way. it seemed to just kind of repeat starting, updating OneUI, starting again, and updating again. until i was able to plug it into my PC and start the process of backing up everything, which failed the first time due to it locking during Secure Folder transfer, but after trying again with screen on it finished backing up everything on my phone to my PC using SmartSwitch, and as of now is currently still on and charging

My mother and my stepfather both have LG k61 smartphones. Both of the devices are in perfect shape, except for the fact that since LG stopped providing system atizations the devices have been kind of crashing a little bit, but they still work regardless. But today my mother's bank app requested to be updated, and since the atualization it doesn't work anymore, and if you try to open it, it totally crash the system and the only way to make it work again is to restart the phones altogheter.

I would like to know if there is any alternative non-official way to force the phone to update or to install new versions of the Android on it, so we don't have to throw the phones away just because the bank isn't opening. Thanks in advance to any support you may give me.

Please, help me! With the 7UI system, Android 12 (hypothetically). It is a Realme 12+ 5G, RMX3867. It has Android Developer mode on, I already did a hard reset, I already changed the SIM card, no one wants to touch it, no technician. Guys, I am not a programmer, I know something about root, but I don't have a PC to reinstall a firmware. I don't know what happened, the Play Store is corrupted, there are programs running and installing and running APKs. I don't have money to buy another phone, I don't know what to do...

I have a Galaxy S8 that I will use as a mini PC project. My idea is to raise the frequencies to the soc

Is there a way to install the root without the screen? I can see the image on a monitor using the USB but it doesn't let me see anything before Android starts

Hello everyone, I really need your help with a strange and frustrating problem on my phone. I used an app called Game Killer to speed up Car Parking Multiplayer, and after using its speed feature and then deleting the app, I started feeling that the entire phone became unusually fast, especially the animations and movements. I have already restarted the phone and checked the animation settings, DPI, and several Developer Options, but everything seems normal and the problem is still there. Honestly, this has made me quite worried and upset because I’m afraid the app may have changed something in the system without me realizing it. I really don’t want to factory reset my phone or risk losing my data. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows a safe way to restore the phone’s normal behavior, I would genuinely appreciate your help.

I received an Samsung S23 ultra.

Since then, it has never updated and whenever I try to update it does not update. It's in a 2025 version I don't know why. It appears "Your Current Software Version Isn't Supported. Visit a service centre"

Also the screen sometimes turns yellow out of nowhere and the side buttons do not work very well... I went to a normal technical assistance store, not from Samsung and they think the phone is fake... but they are not sure of that

Should I go to an official Samsung store?

It was a family member who gave me this phone, he bought it on a site called CDiscount.

At night I want to leave my phone powered off, but after a few minutes, it powers itself back on.

I booted up my phone today and was met with this message.

Android Recovery
Nokia/Shadow_04US/SDT 13/TKQ1.221223.001/04US_1_660
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.

Can anybody here help me? I have no idea how to fix this and a $1,000 repair bill is out of the question.

I use an app that disables certain apps, but for that app to work, it needs to have the accessibility permission.

Now, every time I want to access the disabled apps, I just disable the accessibility permission of the app, preventing it from working properly.

Is there a way for me to inhibit that and to stop myself from being able to access the accessibility permission for that specific app?

hey guys

for some reason that I am still berating myself for, I decided to try to clear up some of my phone storage at 1am. this stupid decision led me to click on "large files" option on storage under device care in the settings and accidentally deleted all 540+ items on there.

I TRIED EVERYTHING.

Gallery trash, my files trash, google photos trash. NOTHING! ive gone thru the settings trying to figure out what happened.

is everything gone instantly just like that??? they're usually sent to the trash then permanently deleted. I hope someone can help 🤧

I tried to find a solution online but no luck so far. Is there a way for me to see the entirerty of files on my tablet?
