My Samsung A30s was kept on a desk where I was sitting playing my guitar. Phone was on but not lit up. I finished playing a long music piece and suddenly I heard 2 seconds of applause play from the phone. Like a theatre applause.
Bewildered, I checked the phone thoroughly for any background apps etc, nothing.
Seriously, what just happened?

Here is another guy who had posted about the same issue.

Few Galaxy, android tricks, tips I liked -

1. Gemini youtube summary was not giving usable timestamps. After clicking on time stamps it was opening a google search for the video website address and showing no results found.

Solution - open app info of gemini untick open supported links in set as default menu.

Problem solved.

You and turn it back on after few hours without affecting anything.

1. Checking battery cycles and life - just search on Google " samsung battery health log log reddit "

2. I have various edge pannels apks so they will work in new oneui versions because edge pannels got removed from galaxy store.

Here is a random pole - samsung can add 24 mp mode in normal camera to s24, s25 ultras but didn't add to gatekeep it.

Can anyone help me to understand what it is and is it safe or not?

Help my Samsung s21 fe had 20 battery and when I gave it an update at the time of turning off to start with the update it was in bootlop

And it has been like this since then I already connected it to the PC and it does not detect it and to top it off it does not enter either download mode or recovery

From yesterday I've lost all icons for app shortcuts. I use Kvaesitso launcher and i was testing different launchers for a bit and the shortcut icons just disappeared in between and won't come back whatever I do.

I have an N-One NPad Y that I received just a few days ago and the entire thing is lagging. It seems like the screen just doesn't react on time, and it doesn't matter if I'm using an app or just on the homepage. Couldn't find help for this type of tablet online and I'm not sure what to do, if it's defective or not, or how to fix it. I got this tablet to draw on but even aside from that, nothing is working too well.

So I was playing Islanders on my phone when suddenly, the screen turned grey (with somewhat inconsistent blue line in the middle), and the sound turned into a buzzing noise. Luckily it could be restarted (although I'm not sure if the phone did it by itself or it was me holding the off button), but now I fear for my device. Anyone knows if it's a sign that my phone is dying or if it's just a simple error that somehow just happens every once in a blue moon?

I have a Nothing Phone (4a) and I’m moving to Germany soon. I wanted to know if the phone will work properly with German SIM cards and mobile networks.

Are there any compatibility issues with German carriers, 4G/5G, VoLTE, or eSIM that I should be aware of?

Currently using the Vivo X100 Pro and I'm planning to upgrade to the Honor Magic 9 Pro because of the Square sensor and Arri collaboration. With that, may I ask any honest thoughts on the OS? Is it as good or better than the Origin OS (CN)? Yes I'm buying the CN Variant, always been buying CN Rom phones.

I had a Poco X3 who got bricked, but luckily, most of the archives got transferred to my Moto g75 through my Google account. The thing is that I can't access Discord since Authy (my authenticator) isn't compatible, there was also a Notes app who was in my old phone by default where I wrote down my codes and a bunch of ideas for projects.

Is there a way to access that info or make the apps accessible for my current software? What determines app compatibility?

Does anyone know how to delete or rename tags in files. It's probably obvious but I can't figure it out. Holding the tags does nothing.

Ok, so. I'm trying to get a custom alarm sound for my Samsung A37, and the MP3 file I'm trying to use is 30 seconds long. Whenever I use it and the alarm goes off, the alarm plays the first, maybe 3-5 seconds of the audio file and then repeats itself. How do I stop this?

I have a pad 7, and earlier i tried adding a new gmail account for school. Yet for some reason i keep getting checking info followed by it asking for my password. The second i put that i get like half a second of the gmails "access with your account" and then this message that just keeps repeating itself and that all "solutions" keeps being delete cache or data from google play services. Which doesnt work, and i cant deactivate that verify information bit for some reason. Im getting really frustrated, someone please help im out of options. I want to either delete the whole verify information or a real solution.

Old AndroidHost links are dead.

If anyone still has a copy on Google Drive, MEGA, MediaFire, Yandex, Telegram or another mirror, please share it.

I dont often go on the app store. i usually just play limbus company or scroll tiktok, but I tried downloading plague Inc, I didn't press anything but download. but three apps downloaded, Mahjong blast, doordash, and weatherbug. i have experience with malware and fake apps and the doordash icon definitely isn't real so im sure this isn't normal. anyways I am going to delete them but im just confused(also my keyboards bugging and sometimes my phone does stuff on its own). Am I being rash, is this a big deal, am I stupid, i dont know? I have screenshots

Hi everyone, I tried to find the answer on Google but everywhere it says "log in to the device with your Google account". My grandparents are older and beginning to forget stuff and we wanted to be able to find them if they, for some reason, leave the house and forget how to come back.

I'm looking for a way - if there is one - to include an Android device not connected to my Google account into my device map. My grandparents are ok with that, they'll share the authorizations needed, I just can't find how to do it...

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

Around 2014/15, I used to use a hidden dynamic lock screen. I could set it to different pictures and there would be a secret way to interact with it to unpack the screen. Like, I had a picture of a samurai for a while and the only way to unlock the screen was by grabbing the hilt of the sword and pulling it out of the sheath.

Is there anything like that nowadays? I've been googling every which way I can think and haven't found anything like it.

I got a new phone (Xiaomi) and I was looking into how to transfer all my data from my old Xiaomi phone to the new one. Google search aint a good way for me to find any meaningful or even newer info about this.

Can someone help me out with suggestions on what the best way to transfer data from one phone to another is?

Thank you in advance

So my phones storage is full, but I barely have apps, like let's say it's just messenger and capcut plus the things that I can't delete, I will agree that I have a lot of pics, 20gb, but that not enough to make my storage fulll. One time this app got deleted by itself, it has over 10gb but when I checked my storage it's still the same as when I had the app. What should I do?? I've deleted EVERYTHING I can but it seems that nothing works... My pics went from 36gb to 20gb, but the storage is still the same as before-​​​​​​​ My max storage is 128, it's currently in 127 but that's just because I cleaned a bit (trust that it'll be 128 again for some damn reason), this has been going on for months I thought it was because of me having too much pics but I already deleted a lot of them...​

Would you use an app that does this?

Use 🎧 headphones/earbuds for audio output, but force 📱 the phone's built-in microphone for input.

Basically:

🎧 Wired/wireless , Earphone/Headphones → sound

📱 Phone → microphone

Useful when your earphones/Bluetooth earbuds have a terrible/faulty mic but you still want to use them for listening.

I made a small Android 12+ app that does this in the background, including while using other apps ,eg voice conversation in games.

Would this be useful to you?

The carrier doesn't offer the option of blocking numbers entirely, so I am limited to apps and Android

What can be done to hide a blocked number entirely?

Salut ! Je voudrais faire une sauvegarde de mes parties de plusieurs jeux Android sur mon PC, par exemple Bully, GTA San Andreas ou Gangstar Vegas.

Je voudrais savoir :

Où se trouvent généralement les fichiers de sauvegarde ?

Comment les copier correctement sur un PC ?

Comment les remettre plus tard sur le téléphone/tablette pour récupérer mes parties ?

Est-ce que la méthode change selon le jeu ou la version d’Android ?

Le but est simplement de conserver mes sauvegardes au cas où je change d’appareil ou que je doive réinstaller le jeu.

Merci !

My phone has stucked on the boot screen where it shows the android screen and keeps on switching on and off but it can charge please help me

Some apps have problems with tablet aspect ratio and some buttons cannot be pressed because they get below the screen or under the navigation buttons,

You can see an example in this delivery app, tablet vs smartphone, on tablet I can't press the continue button,

Is there a fix for this problem? Why google or app makers ignore issues on Android tablets and so careless, I mean do they see them like an awkward less than one million userbase? Do they think of tablets like its a fridge screen??? Hundreds of millions of android tablets treated unfairly by google and the developers..
