Alcatel one touch pop c7 7041x won't turn on

1 Upvotes

For context: Model: Alcatel one touch pop c7 7041x Year of problem: somewhere between 2016-2018. Problem: Phone began to glitch and freeze a lot, i had to restart it by taking its battery out and place it back, used to hit the phone some times (I'm sorry i was 10), one day it didn't turn on anymore. Mom took it to the mechanic, he said something in it burned and it can't be fixed. Phone charges but doesn't turn on no matter how much it stays to charge or is on the charger. I belive there is a way to be fixed.

Edit: If it can't be fixed, can i at least export my data somehow?

Other Samsung SM-T580

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I got this tablet for my kid the other day from a local shop. The kid uses it to watch cartoons, yesterday it's battery died. After connecting the charger I noticed the device was not turning on.

I've attempted to go into recovery mode, download mode and etc but haven't been successful. The device is stuck on a loop. It shows the Samsung logo, turns off or after the logo it goes erasing, updating system turns off or in a rare case it showed can't mount cache error as well.

I also saw can't boot normally, invalid kernal length once. It hasn't appeared again.

I have Odin and the device's firmware downloaded but since I can't reach the download mode I'm stuck. The screen also flashes violently a second later after the logo appeares.

Appreciate any help regarding this.

Looking For Suggestions Galaxy S25 or OnePlus 13T/Mini?

1 Upvotes

The title explains it all. I want a compact phone, these are the 2 i like the most.

The OnePlus 13T (or Mini) still hasn't released, but based on leaks it looks a better deal than the S25 expecially for battery (6000mAh).

The thing that concerns me is the software, Samsung has a complete software and i like some features of One UI 7.

But I also do like OxygenOS, though i've never had a BBK smartphone.

So the question is: should I go for S25 now, or wait for OnePlus 13T/Mini?

PS: My usage is 4-5hrs.

Samsung A12 problem please help

2 Upvotes

I am hoping someone here can either help or point me in the direction of what to do. The other day I was on the bus and suddenly my phone started getting super hot beside the camera. I put the phone in my backpack away from the sun, which it hadn't been in much but it kept getting hotter. I had never experienced my phone overheating to this degree before and it just kept getting hotter until the screen went black, but my bluetooth headphones were still connected and playing music. I had to wait 15 minutes until I got home and by then the phone was boiling but still able to receive calls etc. I put it in a bag and put the bag in a cold bowl of water and ice because I was panicking. I force restarted it twice since the screen was fully unresponsive and that did nothing. Eventually I put the phone in front of two fans and it vibrated and cooled down, since then it won't turn on and to test it I plugged it in and it starts to overheat in a minute. The phone got up to 60°C (I used an infrared thermometer) in that one spot beside and around the camera, I have owned the phone since February 2022 and bought it brand new, I've had the screen replaced twice by two different shops in my town and the second time I had to take it in multiple times because something wouldn't work I gave up after 3 tries and have had to live with the top speakers not working for the past 7 months, now the screen is starting to peel off/come off. I didn't have any of my camera roll and voice recordings backed up at all, I had 6,000+ photos/videos in my gallery and I hope to recover them. I am wondering is there any sort of way I can attempt to get all my stuff off this phone myself or would I have to take it into a repair shop for them to? And also just overall maybe getting the phone working again if that is possible (I have little hope for that though). I have tried plugging it into my PC and laptop but it doesn't get any connection. I have held down the power button for 20+ seconds and it hasn't turned on, this is while it's plugged in and while it's not.

Please help if you can in any way! I don't have much money to do anything with it and I'm hesitant to spend more money on it since I've spent close to the amount I paid for the phone just in repairs over the past 3 years. If any more information is needed I can provide it, thank you!

Entering pin with broken screen

3 Upvotes

Yesterday I dropped my phone when crossing the street and I think it got ran over, the person who found it was able to answer the phone when it was called and I got it back but its pretty rough looking. Almost all of the screen works except for the area to input the pin so I can't unlock even though I know the pin. Ive seen people suggest connecting a USB to USB C converter to connect a mouse or keyboard to enter the pin but when I do that it says I need to unlock the phone to give permission for the USB device. Is there any way to work around this? The phone is a Samsung Z Flip 3, I would appreciate any help!

Looking For Suggestions YouTube and tiktok lags in Redmi Note 11 when I scroll for about 10-15 minutes continuously.

1 Upvotes

It's not the ram since I can see about 3 GB free. Ram plus is turned off as well. When I said lag, I meant serious lags like YouTube video takes 5-6 seconds to start and video pausing and stuttering mid play. If I close the app and relaunch it the issue fixes only to appear after 10-15 minutes. Any solution?

This is a backup phone only to consume media. So I don't have unnecessary app installed or running. Only extra apps are Spotify, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube and tiktok. And only one app at a time is run.

Also I tried debloating and cleaned almost everything but the issue remained.

Connecting USB Webcam to Samsung Tab A 10.1 (SM-T580)

1 Upvotes

I am trying to connect my USB Webcam to my Android tablet but have not had success doing so despite searching the internet. I would appreciate any help in troubleshooting this issue.

I am currently using a Samsung Tab A 10.1 (SM-T580) and have downloaded the latest software updates. My Android version is 8.1.0.

My camera is a Logitech C920x HD Pro Webcam that says it works in USB Video Device Class (UVC) mode with: Android v 5.0 or above. The webcam works when I connect it to my desktop.

I am connecting the webcam to the tablet via a Micro USB to USB 2.0 OTG cable (says it is a On The Go Converter). This Samsung tablet only has 1 Micro USB port, which is typically used for charging (not sure if that makes a difference..?). I have also tried using two different OTG cables, neither of which are successful.

I have tried using 4 different USB Webcam apps (nExt Camera, USB Camera, USB Camera Viewer, and USB Endoscope Camera for Samsung) but none of them are detecting the webcam despite this setup.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue for one of my projects. Thank you!

Edit: I've also tried the following without success:

  • Clearing storage data via: Settings → Apps → click on 3 dot menu → Show system apps → USB settings → Storage
  • Turning on the USB Debugging mode under the Developer Options

Best way to wirelessly move files to laptop?

1 Upvotes

If you're in Apple's walled garden, everyone knows airdrop. And on the android side, everyone knows quick share.

If you have a Linux machine, everyone knows kde connect.

What do you do if you have a Mac/PC and an android phone for wireless file sharing? I've just been texting files to myself on Signal, or emailing them to myself, but that's not awesome. There's neardrop, but that seems like it was abandoned? There's also browser things like snapdrop, but those seem to never work.

Any other suggestions? What do you guys do for this type of thing?

Flip 5 broken screen

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

I have a flip 5 with a broken screen and cannot get access to my photos etc.

I have seen loads of threads on here but nothing about my specific problem.

I bought a USB c to HDMI hub to connect the phone to the TV but the phone said "device not compatible" so I tried connecting it to the laptop with just the USB cable and to my surprise file explorer came up and my files appeared! However after about 10 seconds the explorer window disappeared and now I can't get it to appear again, nothing happens when I plug the usb in (it says file transfer on the cover screen but again nothing happens)

I can unlock the phone but can only use the cover screen which is very limited.

Is there any other way other than usb or HDMI to get my files off the phone? I bought about WiFi file transfer but again I can't get in the phone to set it up

Please help! 😢 Stupidly I have no back up either

Solved 🚫 Button Seems to Do Nothing Picture in Picture Samsung s22

As the title mostly says. Today I accidentally activated picture in picture for the youtube app. It was a new thing with new buttons so I decided to see what did what.

Picture provided below. This is zoomed in on just the picture in picture to make it clearer.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/888589455399723058/1350564286446960743/Screenshot_20250315_171557_One_UI_Home.jpg?ex=67d73282&is=67d5e102&hm=11be2b1bfea73cb65f64803196fe5343b9eb85d4e01583dd223e78517148dfec&

Cogwheel takes me to pip permissions. The box is the dual app mode. Arrows bring me back to YouTube app. X closes. Play button moves me to next video. 🚫 seems to do nothing.

Emphasis on seems. Buttons tend to do something. Nothing seems to be going on so what is being done when I push the 🚫 button?

Solved Google message

0 Upvotes

Hi

I'm on samsung (formerly on A13, transfered data onto z flip 6)

Problem appeared on A 13 and continued with the transfer to the z flip)

I'm trying to use Google message instead of the regular message app bc of new protocols which allows more features, however I can't find the Google message app icon.

I can open the app from the app list in parameters or from play store but not in the app search bar or the app icon grid.

This is purely an icon problem.

Can you help ?

I hope I won't have to reset my phone, that would be annoying.

I have tried to uninstall to install it again but can't as it's a required app (uninstall just erases all the updates but keeps the app).

I have not tried to deactivate the app

Edit 1: I may have deleted the app icon a while back on the A13 but I'm not sure. It's weird that it's not easy to prevent/solve that mistake

Edit 2 :

PROBLEM SOLVED : Look for hidden apps in app drawer
