Hi there,

My abusive ex is employed for the Canadian government in a cybersecurity sense. Since we separated, I've had so many issues with my accounts like Facebook and Google. It being signed in the town where his parents live etc. Him knowing things he should not. I've signed out each time I have seen a new sign on then I was digging into my apps and I have some weird apps that do not show up on my homestretch, only in deep settings that I cannot delete like...

Diary

I also turn off permissions for certain apps and they get turned back on. Like why does my phone app need access to my camera? I do not video chat on it. Or certain apps having location turned back in after I have turned it off.

I will be getting a new phone, new phone number and completely new accounts but in the meantime, what can I do about these weird apps? The option to delete them is just grayed out.

I'm not even being paranoid. The police found a GPS tracker in my vehicle with HIS fingerprints on it, but would not charge him because we were still married so apparently you can track your spouse's vehicle without their consent. he's done shady things before.

I'm trying to uninstall all YouTube apps on my Google Pixel 9a due to switching to Morphe, but they're quite stubborn and I'm having a hard time removing them.

I tried UAD and now ADBAppControl, but show that the uninstall was a success, at least ADB does, but the log file seems to show conflicting information:

shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

Failure [only root can delete system app for a particular user]

shell pm uninstall com.google.android.youtube

Success

shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

Failure [only root can delete system app for a particular user]

shell pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

Success

The apps are still on my device, any suggestions on what to do and try next?

I just bought a Huawei MatePad 11.5. I'm in Brazil, but my location keeps showing up as being in different South American countries, depending on the app. Google Maps and Petal Maps aren't pinpointing my exact location. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've already tried several tips suggested by Gemini, but nothing worked.

I'm trying to pick up a used phone . I really just want two things: good camera and smooth software that won't lag on me after a few months.

These are my options (all roughly the same price where I live):

- Google Pixel 8 Pro

- Samsung Note 20 Ultra (yeah I know it's old)

- Oppo A6 Pro

- iPhone 11 or 12

I take a lot of photos . Don't care about gaming or 5G.

I'm honestly leaning toward the Pixel but I keep seeing people complain about heating and battery drain. The Note has that zoom lens but I'm scared it'll feel outdated. And the iPhone, reliable but are the cameras still good in 2025?

Oppo? No idea if it even belongs in this list lol.

What would you pick? Anyone using a Pixel 8 Pro daily, is the overheating thing overblown?

thanks in advance!

I have tried everything i know of and watched yt tutorials and cant change my name, I want to change it to my name since the one on my phone is a dead name and it upsets me very much to see it. My phone is a motarola help if you can, thanks

I was using the Morphe version of Xodo, installed and updated through Orion Store.

After updating to Xodo Morphe 11.0, the app now crashes immediately on launch. It doesn't even finish the opening animation before closing.

My device is a Motorola Moto Pad 60 Pro running the Android 16.

The important part is that I had been using Xodo's OCR feature to process PDFs, and then I was using/annotating those processed files. I now cannot find those annotated/OCR PDFs in my normal storage.

I have NOT:

\- uninstalled the app

\- cleared app data

\- cleared the cache

\- factory reset anything

Android currently reports approximately:

\- App data: 2.2 GB

\- Cache: 2.7 GB

I tried accessing the Xodo/Morphe app's "Android/data" directory using FV File Manager + Shizuku, but I couldn't find the annotated files there, only the normal files are there.

I'm afraid to clear the 2 GB cache or data because I don't know whether the OCR/annotation files or some recovery state might be stored there.

What I need to know:

1. Where are annotations stored before/after saving?

2. Could the 2 GB cache contain the missing PDFs or annotation state?

3. Is there a way to recover/extract the files without launching the app?

4. Is it possible to downgrade Morphe/Xodo 11.0 to the previous version without uninstalling and losing app data?

5. Is there a known issue with the 11.0 Morphe build causing immediate crashes?

I really need to recover these annotated PDFs, so I don't want to uninstall or clear data until I know the safest recovery method.

Any developer or someone familiar with the Morphe Xodo build/storage structure would be hugely appreciated.

A couple years ago I bought two of the Samsung USB-C flash drives to store dash cam footage on. I used to be able to view the footage on my MacBook Pro fine but now both of my flash drives will not even show up to view the footage. Same thing happens on my Windows laptop. Are they both just dead?

As the title says. I've looked everywhere in the app and do not see a way around thi. 'm constantly getting images from one group I need to be in but I can't store all that on my phone and google account.

I've looked in all of the settings. No where. Is there another way to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

I want my status bar to show no matter what, even when running a game. The way it is now if I'm playing a game I have zero way of seeing any notification come because it's default hidden.

I'm on Samsung

I have set custom icons for my apps but some apps don't change automatically, and it is difficult to find different ones from the packs that fit the purpose. All I want is to change the app icon to monochromaric and remove the background. Is there an app for that? I have a Samsung Galaxy S25, but i don't think the phone matters.

I'm looking for a new phone to replace my Samsung A52S, I don't game but like a good camera, use it for streaming etc so want a good screen. Looking to spend up to £400 tops but ideally £300-350 and must be available in the UK. What do I get?

I've been using different hiking apps for years with Apple switching off mobile data and active location sharing whilst using power saving.

3 months ago I switched to android (samsung galaxy s26 ultra) and now all tracking has become useless if I turn off location and turn on powersaving.

I've tried over 10 apps including AllTrails, Locus, Gaia, Strava, organic maps and more and all have the same issue of straight line mapping.

Has anyone managed to find a workaround or find an app that can work properly whilst phone is on powersaving?

i have a samsung a54, no complaints excepttt on google chrome

it does not load any website when i click on it. the searches come up immediately. but the website either take an eternity to load, need multiple refreshes, the format is weird, or they just don't load at all.

i use another phone too, and the same google profile too, everything works fine on its chrome. also, i can't pay from my card on the samsung. my bank app works fine on it, i can transfer money from my app, but it doesn't load the card transfer third party website whatever its called. again, works fine on the other phone

i have tried switching my IP from static to DHCP to back to static. i have uninstalled chrome updates and reinstalled them. but its still not working and its very frustrating to switch phone when I need to use chrome, especially if i have to buy something

any suggestions?

Hey guys I've a Xiaomi 12 lite & a Xiaomi 13 lite and I've been having a problem with a notch bar lately especially when using full screen apps like Brave Browser or any other app for that matter, when selecting don't hide on the "Hide Notch" settings and selecting always show notch in settings for brave the notch bar still doesn't disappear and it's still shows it. On the 13 lite it's running the HOS3 version so the "Hide notch" option is removed and only "notch in individual apps" setting is available... Which still doesn't fix it, Is there no fix for it? I searched online and it didn't find anything useful. I don't really want to go through the hassle of flashing a custom ROM so a help would be appreciated! :)

Greetings.I just wonder if there's an app that can be transfer my whole data (apps+their data & downloaded files on internal storage) to another phone.Just to clarify,both phones have custom rom installed.

Hey everyone. I recently spent some time trying to figure out how to check the exact battery cycle count and hardware health on my Oppo K13. If you are on Android 16, you probably already know that ColorOS has completely locked down the usual methods. The standard ADB commands just give a "Permission denied" error because of new system restrictions.

I found a workaround using a full system bugreport through ADB. It bypasses the shell restrictions and gets you the exact hardware numbers. Here is how you do it if you have a Windows PC.

Step 1: Generate the bugreport Plug your phone into your PC with USB debugging enabled. Open PowerShell and run this command:

adb bugreport oplus_bugreport.zip

This process takes about 2 to 5 minutes to finish, so just let it sit until the zip file is saved to your computer.

Step 2: Extract the files Unzip the oplus_bugreport.zip file into a new folder. Inside, you will find a massive text file called something like bugreport-<model>-<date>.txt. It is usually over 100MB.

Step 3: Search for the cycle count Do not try to open that huge text file in Notepad because it will probably freeze your PC. Instead, use PowerShell to search through it instantly. Open PowerShell in your extracted folder and run this exact command:

Select-String -Path ".\bugreport-*.txt" -Pattern "CYCLE_COUNT" | Select-Object -First 5

Step 4: Read your results The output will spit out a few lines of raw system data. Look closely at the text for these specific values:

• android.os.extra.CYCLE_COUNT= (this number is your total completed charge cycles)
• health= (an Android system code where 2 means your battery health is officially "Good")
• temperature= (this is measured in tenths of a degree, so 334 means 33.4 C)

Hope this helps anyone else trying to track their battery degradation on the newer ColorOS updates. Let me know if this works for your specific model too!

THIS POST WAS DRAFTED WITH THE HELP OF AI

Some of the apps on my phone, for example Instagram, are using mobile data despite the fact that I specifically turned that off in settings and made it so they can only use WiFi.

Anybody know why that is and how I can stop it?

All the sudden when trying to upload a video to reddit, it only lets me select from Google photos, which I don't even use. When I select the three dots, it only has a settings option, there is no longer a "browse" one. When I click settings it tells me to configure a cloud media to use and the only options are Google photos and "none".

I tried switching it to none and restarting reddit, but it still only pulls from Google photos, even though clicking settings again shows that none is selected. How do I get it back to pulling from my gallery app?

Simple goal is to pull the url from generic notification pushed from an application without allowing forcement of fully opening the app. If possible, ideally would be able to even after the app gets disabled or fully uninstalled so long as the notification hasn't been cleared.

Relatedly: Is there a way to continually archive data feeds of a common form (namely in this context Android-based app notifications), without wiping device's memory of them (else transferring cache to a more permanent but mutable parent-file), preferably with entirety of original object-files retained (i.e. dataset of all datum fields comprising a typical notif, such as app ID and datetimestamp and descript text and further description and url and thumbnail and arbitrary elsesuch as applicable/possible, chronologically ordered into the repository similarly as is ordinarily displayed, and if possible groupable by other field metric too)?

MOTO EDGE 79

estou com um problema com meus moto Edge 70, ele fecha jogos do nada, acho que seja um problema do Android 16, mas queria saber como resolver e tbm quando vai chegar o Android 17, já passou uma semana e nada de atualizarem o moto Edge 70.

I'm having a problem with my Moto Edge 70; it closes games randomly. I think it's an Android 16 issue, but I'd like to know how to fix it and also when Android 17 will be released. It's been a week already.

I'm asking because I just downloaded The PlayerPro Music Player App yesterday from The Google Play Store. and I noticed that 7 songs are missing/got deleted from there even though I didn't delete them myself and all of them were there at the beginning then randomly got deleted. Is that normal? Or does that mean that the app itself is corrupted? Should I just delete the app now just to be safe? Has this happened to anyone else before? How many of you are currently using The PlayerPro Music Player App to play all your music files? I had 1,569 songs on The PlayerPro Music Player App now I only have 1,562 songs. I had to clear the cache and data in the app and now everything is back to normal now. Will The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupt all my other music files? I'm asking because someone said that The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupted all their FLAC Music Files. If I could get some advice I would really appreciate it. I'm currently using The Fold 7 but I'm going to be upgrading to The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 next month and I want to make sure that this app isn't corrupted or has some kind of virus/malware.

Hello.

I need to transfer all the photos from WhatsApp from my old phone with Android 5.0. WhatsApp has not been updated for at least 2-3 years. I have been using an iPhone for the last few years. I found instructions on the Internet, but according to them I should erase my iPhone to factory settings and select transfer of files from WhatsApp there. I don't want to do that, and I also don't know how to insert a micro SIM card into a Huawei Lua L-21. Which is a very old model. I thought about installing WhatsApp on another Android phone, for example my mother's, and trying to insert my number there, will it work? If she still has her SIM card in the phone?

The second thing that occurred to me is, if the photos were previously saved to some storage, probably Google since it's Android, will it be possible to extract the photos to the PC via the Google account? How do I do that?

Any ideas on how to get to the photos? I read that WhatsApp will stop supporting Android version 5.0 in a few days?

tldr: i have old android 5.0 or 5.1 i dont know. And i want to somehow transfer photos to iphone or different android phone, or get those photos from google drive. How?

if you're talking about assistive access choose big launcher or whatever you know simple stuff like Windows phone launcher if you are planning to daily drive it and also don't use these stupid iOS launchers use a Samsung put a custom launcher and good lock and also gestures

so I used to have this android tablet and I still have access to that account. I’m pretty sure the device is dead by now, but how can I see the last location and the date? If I currently login to find hub, it does not show up. are there any way I could at least track it down to the last date it was active. I really need this tablet back.

Hi! I'm trying to find a way to screen record without the visible icon on the status bar(like the regular screen record on Android has) and is free to use without download... Anyone have suggestions?
