Phone verification to do factory reset

I tried to change the number within Google to no avail. Is it still possible to do a factory reset? I have no idea where Google got this number they think is mine.
This doesn't give much details. Assuming that it is indeed your own personal Google account that's on the phone, there's absolutely no reason that you shouldn't be able to change the recovery phone number or email that you have on file. So when you say "to no avail", what error message is it giving you when you try to change the phone number?

Is this instruction on lineageosroms wrong?

Hey @quddy , Had a busy weekend and haven't checked in for a few days. Thanks so much for the updates and I'm glad that you finally got it working. You are probably correct about the lineage recovery working after you updated the firmware, but from the screenshot I saw of the lineage recovery. TWRP looks way more functional. Not 100% sure about the warning you got from TWRP. Maybe a standard warning after wiping the system partition? Been a couple of years since I've rooted or used TWRP. This thread is kind of giving me the itch to root my Pixel 5 haha.

Samsung Galaxy A52 5g - make picture/photo, stay after you make it

That's your perfect solution right there ^
It does what you wanted.

There are some very good Camera apps like Open Camera that are generally superior or have more features than the stock camera app on a phone.

However they can also be simple or simpler than the original. That's why they are downloaded in the millions.

50 million+ Open Camera downloads :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera

You can move the app icon to the position your camera app is now, but still retain Samsung"s camera app in the app drawer or a Home screen.

If you just wanted to complain you should write to Samsung, South Korea and ask them to update all A52's over the air so they have your feature but that very few others will use.

Good luck.

Make sure you get the newer A52s 5g with a better Snapdragon 778 chipset and already reduced. I've been fancying it as well. IP68, 120hz Amoled screen, headphone jack, sd card slot, cameras with OIS.....

Samsung XCover2 weird problem

How f.. difficult can this be? Been twiddling around for 2-3 hours now due to that site demanding premium membership and not accepting free membership! End of my nerves

Q96 mini android box

Hi all, has anyone ever tried or know about the Q96 mini android box, I have just placed an order on a unit so I can test it. Just have to wait for it to arrive,

Specs are Android 10.0 Amlogic S905L2 Quad Core 2.4G WIFI 4K Set Top Box 8GB Ram+128GB Rom Media Player H.265 Home Theater

Any info on this unit would be great.

UNKOWN not UNKNOWN

My phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. The Assistant for Android was installed fom Play Store. The snapshot is a page shown by the Assistant while tapping the button and not a page from phone settings. I can't understand why it shows battery usage 0.19% when that app is not existing in installed applications. In the phone settings battery usage, no such app is shown. Anyhow thanks to mikedt and Hadron.

Both that phone and app do come from China, and occasionally these things do have misspellings and grammatical errors in them, hence the "UNKOWN".

Accessories Recommend A USB C Charging And Speaker Station

Sorry to sound dense.

This is my first new phone in a long time.

I found a manual for the Celero 5G. It has a diagram of the phone that points to the USB jack on the bottom of the phone. It is labeled as USB C.

This is the docking station I am interested in. It is advertised as USB C

In the picture you can see there is a jack on the docking station to put the phone on. My concern is whether or not it will fit my phone ( new model, only several months old ).

My guess is THAT is a USB C jack for the USB C port on my phone.

Do I have that correct?

What is the name of the plugs on USB phone cables that are bigger that fit into computers?

Help Something has changed in Android 12

Yeah, that Google Play Instant is some sneaky crap.

I trust NOTHING Google and this is definitely one that I rid any device of immediately.

Not only is there the setting that @Madd61 mentioned, there is an app as well- one that Google PlayStore will download automatically if PlayStore is not disabled entirely- each time the device gets a 'security update' (code for "Google wants to mess with your device").
It is called Google Instant Apps.

I am not sure if it is prevented from downloading if you have autoupdate turned off, but it seems that even with this setting off the stupid thing would reappear at random (whenever Google messed with my device at 2AM) and disabling the PlayStore altogether was the bullet proof solution.
