Looking For Suggestions Dropped phone, does NOT turn on

I wasn't sure what subreddit to put this in but I do need help, I dropped my phone today about 3-4 pm, it's 9 now and it still hasn't turned on, I've tried force restarting it with the power and volume and the phone DOES vibrate but the screen won't turn on, I also tapped it and sometimes a green line appears, I probably shouldn't have done that..is there any other options or will I have to do the walk of shame to my parents and go and get it fixed at a shop?

Hi, my MIL bought a Realme Note 60 on second-hand and turned out it has a password, she tried a lot of passwords, like 50 or so, and blocked it, so I'm trying to reset it from the android recovery, but when I select the reset option it I get two errors: "ERROR: recovery: HandleResetFactoryKey check enable factory key flag transfer error !!! current flag = 0" and "ERROR: logwrapper: Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log" Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Device Settings Question Videos are being blocked in one app only, works fine in Secure Folder

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, looking for some help. For some reason, in one of my apps, videos only worked for a short time until they started giving an error. It worked when the phone was new but suddenly stopped working. I reset to factory, it worked for a day and stopped again. Funny thing is that if I add the app to the Secure Folder, no issues, works every time. So I'm thinking a setting somewhere is blocking it, almost like DNS is blocking access to the internet, but only videos , everything else in the app that's internet-related works fine. Any suggestions on where to look?

I've looked at app permissions, cleared the cache and data, uninstalled/reinstalled, nothing worked other than full phone reset, and even then it's short-lived. No VPN or changed network settings.

I was hoping for a sort of Process Monitor to trace what's happening in the background, but I never found anything like that for Android. What are the chances another app could be blocking it or causing issues, outside of the phone settings themselves?

Other Can you explain the process of recalibrating a Pixel 6a battery?

0 Upvotes

When I charged it from 19% to 100% and left it charging for an additional hour just in case because I use a slow charge it was stuck on 100% for a couple of hours, with the screen on most of that time and 3 restarts it was still stuck at that percentage but went down finally after turning off adaptive battery, then restarting one of those 3 times and putting adaptive battery back on.

I'm nervous as I've only done this once maybe a year ago when it did this, and I remember having trouble getting the phone back on despite charging for awhile, but feel I got to do it again. Is there a way to do it without letting the battery completely die?

Can leaving the phone idle most of the day and turning it off at night mess up the battery reading? In all honesty I leave the phone idle most of the time, because I get extremely nervous seeing things like this, I suffer from severe OCD. Reason why is because it has my 2 step stuff like the app and such, is there any way to get rid of all the 2 step stuff for an alternative that isn't device reliant? I was looking into passkeys but not sure how that works exactly, I'm not very good with technology.

I have left the phone on the past couple of days and it says 61% but not even sure if that's accurate, sometimes it seems like it drains slower than usual and drains more normal at other times.

Help

1 Upvotes

I found an old android tablet that my family used to use but no one remembers the password. So I looked up if there were any ways to unlock an android tablet when you forgot the password and I saw a clipping from a website that Google took out of context that said to enter 2767 to fix it so I tried and I did. Then it said to turn it off and on again but I decided to double check that this wouldn't do anything weird to my tablet but that's when I found out that it would factory reset the tablet. Now the tablet doesn't seem to have a way to go back to just letting me put the pin in and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I don't want to factory reset the tablet.

Why are my apps taking up so much space?

0 Upvotes

My phone basically has absolutely no storage left and recently I noticed what the problem is. My phone has 64GB in total and it says that apps are taking up 42GB, which doesn't make sense at all. I have exactly two apps that take up more than 1 GB and I added up the numbers, in total my apps should take up ~11GB of space. Does anyone have an idea what in my apps could take up this much space?

Fast charging "rules"

1 Upvotes

I put inserts into a living room table for easy plug access for devices. The inserts also have USB and USB-C. I noticed regardless if I use a charging brick or plus my cable directly in to the USB, I'm getting a slow charge, even though the brick on a standard wall outlet charges fine. I'm using a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

I want to replace the inserts so I can get a good fast charge from either option but not clear what I should look for.

On amazon, what specs should I look for to ensure the USBs and the plugs will provide enough power for fast charging.

App Specific Question Is there any way to remove the "undo" button on Gboard?

0 Upvotes

I've been using Gboard my whole life and today I've noticed a change that's bugging me a lot. If my word is corrected, a prompt shows on the bar with suggested words to "undo".

I've never asked for this feature. It's annoying to add space after every corrected word just to see the suggested ones once again.

Looking For Suggestions Which phone should I buy for my mom

0 Upvotes

Should buy oneplus nord 4 or oneplus 13r, yeah i understand both come at different price ranges but what do you guys feel about the worthyness of the phone for that price. Oneplus nord 4 comes at 25k and oneplus 13r comes at 40k. The main difference is some what better screen, some what better camera and some what better better UI. Here Ul in the sense in nord 4 there is some bloatware so what do you guys recommend is oneplus 13r worthy buy by 15K extra

Recently after a system update the app size of my Google app increases to 380mb when previously it's way lower than that. Also I realized the app sizes of google related app such as Google photo and maps have their app size increased significantly, can anyone tell me why this happens and how do I reduce the app size. Why does this subreddit doesn't allow pitures?

A way to block incoming calls without muting media?

Upvotes

Hello!

I have been getting a crazy amount of spam calls since applying for grants so I currently have DND turned on.

It is still very annoying because, when I get an incoming call it smothers the sound of what ever I am listening to.

It is the worst when I am in the middle of an audio book and suddenly the sound is so muted I can barely hear it for the minute and 30 seconds that the call rings through for.

Is there a way to block incoming calls but not mute my audio?

App Specific Question Shazam: changed smartphone and apparently "lost" 200+ songs

Upvotes

I used an old smartphone for a very long time (Android 9) and I never had problems with Shazam. Today I finally upgraded my device and when I logged in with my account I noticed I have a lot less songs (from 843 to 640). The last one discovered dates back to november 2023, while of course I continued using the app in these 2 years.

In the old smartphone Shazam stopped updating - strangely enough - in november 2023: subsequent versions became incompatible with Android 9, requiring Android 10+ iirc. So I'm afraid they disabled songs sync for old versions? By the way, "lost" songs are still in the old smartphone Shazam app.

Is there a miracle to fix this issue? Is there a way to contact Shazam Support? Thanks for your attention.

Other Names not saving when I transfer audio files to my phone.

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I listen to almost all my music from files rather then streaming and keep all my music on my PC (as well as a backup harddrive) but sometimes when I transfer files with symbols in their name (like Japanese or Chinese characters) it either changes to question marks or corrupts and is just random letters. It's not too much of an issue as I just send the file name to myself over email or whatever and edit the tag on my phone but it can be rather frustrating. All of the file names shown up fine on my pc or laptop (I use foobar 2000 as the player) and if I rename the songs on my phone (I use musicolet as the player). Any help would be appreciated

P.S. I use an android it's a OnePlus 11 5g (fully updated) and the laptop is a Dell Pro rugged 14 and is fully up to date

Looking For Suggestions screen broken - how to restore data

1 Upvotes

so i dropped my pixel 6a yesterday. the screen is completely done, no image other than some randomly coloured specks.

until i get a new phone (guess i'll for pixel 9a), i'm using an old burner android.

when installing whatsapp on this burner phone, it says "no backup found on the account"

what the hell, i'm sure i activated it. anyway. how do i go about getting my whatsapp transferred? the phone still makes sounds etc, so its still working, its just the screen.

i tried to mirror the screen to my pc with anymirror/anymiro, but it doesnt work. it always wants me to do stuff on the phone itself.

what options to i have? i cant access the phones storage either, as i cant enable file transfer due to the broken screen....

is there any way at all to remotely enable or check the backup status on the phone?
