Wow, @MoodyBlues , that's a bizarre situation that has to involve a corrupt digitizer.

Nah, just my sweet, adorable, can't-do-anything-wrong-in-Mommy's-eyes little girl, Joy Noelle.

I've heard of butt-dialing and butt-texting - but that would lend a whole new definition to butt-wiping...

Indeed! You know, when it was happening, all I could focus on was figuring out how to stop the noise without accidentally wiping my phone. I never even thought to look at where it had been when it started automatically pressing itself, to see what caused it. I routinely put this phone face-down on my bed, because at night its pretty blue lit circle on the back is nicer to look at than the display (which lights up when there's motion). But it's normally on a pillow next to me. This was, I think, the first time I'd ever put it on the bed itself, face-down. I always have a bunch of...stuff...on my bed (various remotes, my old phone, my tablet, an apple, mail), so there's no telling what caused the pressing. I did LEARN from it, though!

If the Vanja doesn't work, should I take out the original sd card and swap in the new one? I guess I could copy the rest later, preferably with a computer. Is there any way to fix the Vanja?

Thank you for the answer. The apkmirror solved it, I managed to install an older version of the app in question. Now I just have to see to it, that I don't run an update by mistake.

Good to hear. Make sure you do what @MrJavi suggested and turn off updates in the Play app.

Are you sure no other app is using the same tone for its notification?

The Pixel 5 fits those size constraints and has wireless charging.

If a taller phone of the same width is acceptable then the Galaxy S20 and S21 become candidates (both around 6" in height but 2.8" or less in width). If you give up wireless charging then you get many more options.

GSMArena have a phone finder tool that lets you specify things like this and search for phones meeting your requirements. Since it's not an American site you have to use mm for the height and width, but that's a simple conversion.

Always shut off the phone when not in use.
That'll extend the battery life!!!

I always do that. And have done everything suggested here: https://hrdreset.com/samsung-a51-battery-drain-problem-fix-and-tricks/

Any other answers?

if a factory reset or flashing firmware does not fix the issue, we can rule out that software is the cause which means that this is a hardware issue. so you can try to get it fixed or buy a new phone as @Dannydet suggested.

Nope.
Non functional screen and password protected, cannot be accessed by computer connection.

Try to restart the installation as it happens when you accidentally close your data

Try to clear all the data of your Play Store as well as clear the cache, if the problem still persists then try to download apps from your phone's native app store like Samsung has its own Samsung store

Something I forgot to mention-
apps such as Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and many others like to store files in their own folders.

For instance, say you see a funny meme on Messenger, and you select 'Save To Device'.
The app has already made a folder just for Messenger, and the media from that app will be stored in there.

Depending on whatever Gallery app you are using, the placement of the file may or may not be immediately apparent.

Also, some apps, like Telegram, have the tendency to download every picture and video that you see while using the app.
Once again, this media would be stored in a folder that you may not be looking for immediately.

The worst offenders are apps that hide such data inside of their Android folders, andd the worst of the very worst keep files inside their root files- where you will have no access to them.

For a long while my Galery app was growing to almost 2GB in size every week- making it not only the single largest app on the device, but also about the same size as the system itself on one of my devices.
This was so infuriating!

It turns out that there is another 'cache' in the app, this one is not accessible by the user.

I had a few arguements with the developer over this, as he was trying to tell me that my device was just too low on resources.

I had to point out that although I agreed that my device is pathetic, it meets a standard that the vast majority of worldwide users are using {at the time, about 80% of devices were at this standard}.

Anyway, what was being stored here?
Evidently it was a 'copy' of every thumbnail from every picture and video, and maybe even some whole files, from media that I had deleted.

I got the polio vaccine.
I trust them.

Okay, thank you for the advice.

Try closing other apps when you're done with them.

In my Tab S6, the line in Download mode stating KG Status Prenormal was totally disappeared after I completed the Android initial setup; while I had different experience with my Tab S7: The line KG Status PRENORMAL has changed to KG Status CHECKING and remained Checking even after I've fully completed the Android initial setup including updating all emergency and optional apps (except system and security updates).

I don't know if this KG Status remains CHECKING is a problem e.g. an indication of unfinished process. Should I suppose (like my Tab S6) this line get totally removed from Download mode? If so, what I have to do more to complete with KG status.

EDIT: I have followed same process with my Tab S6 and S7; like Tab S7 I haven't updated system and security updates for Tab S6.

i do not have your device, but what settings are under screen mode?

Click to expand...

There is only an option between Vivid and Natural (without a color temperature slider). That's it.

In Tab S7 White color seems warm; It seems Tab S7 uses a permanent color filter and there is no built-in option to adjust White balance. I tried to make the White cooler using some color filter apps and it somewhat worked but it affects other colors as well. Perhaps in Tab S7 that goes with territory and cannot be corrected.

Yes this post is a couple years old.. but its still valid and never had a resolution... I just found it with a search... most relevant to my issue.

Ramshop mentions 'thunderbird' working - but thats not available on android nor do I see how it could get access to the system files to auto insert new account info.

Hi guys!
I am constantly changing my ROMs and I need a fast way to backup my applications and not re-add everything. For this "Titanium Backup" works for 1-2 apps, but the most important problem that I can not find is how to restore my accounts? Its a very big problem to re-add them every time. I want to be able to do it fast with no effort, can someone point me to a good solution as I can not find any that works. Is
a nandroid backup from a different ROM usable and what is the procedure for restoring my accounts only?

Click to expand...

I'm in the same situation... I've bought about 30 android devices in the past few years and have over 60 email accounts to add every time I get a new device... and they are all Gmail...

The built in Google account transfer used to work - it would move about 5 or 10 of my emails over to the new device == then make me type the password in.. which was annoying... After I got into the 20's and beyond for email accounts that system failed every time with a random error... common problem...

Samsung smart switch by design does not move accounts over; I NEED a program that will copy all gmail accounts - email addresses and passwords- into a new device... as I do this every other month... and dont want to type in 50 long emails that all have 20 character long gibberish passwords that I dont even remember without checking my encrypted password manager.

I've posted this Q on the xda forums 3 months ago.. no luck with replies... wonder if anyone here knows anything?

You can check those apps in settings and look whether you've closed their data consumption permission or it's your phone's internal problem that requires updating/reinstall Android itself.

You can check out apps like:
Spotify
JioSaavn
Soundcloud
Amazon Prime Music
Apple Music
Deezer
etc.

So I am developing an app as part of a group project. The app has to fetch some data (most importantly time for an alarm) from Cloud Firestore and then ring the alarm at whatever time the alarm is scheduled. This all should happen even if the app is not open right now. I know that I have to use:
1. AlarmManager or WorkManager (still I am not sure which one) for background work like changing the time for alarms and firing the alarm intents
2. Something called PendingIntent (maybe) to set the Alarm intents
3. ACTION_SET_ALARM for actually firing the alarm.

Now what I don't know is how do I combine all these in a manner so that I can implement my idea for the app. I cannot find a single example anywhere where all these things are used together. I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

As @ocnbrze suggested, just change the lock pattern. Or choose a different lock method -- password, fingerprint, facial, etc. If you're not going to take pro-active steps to secure your mobile device, that leaves it very vulnerable to intrusion. Take the time to secure it properly, that functionality is already installed and available to you, so take advantage of that.
