I have had my oneplus rooted previously by someone else. I accidentally updated my OnePlus Nord ce 2 lite 5g to android 13 without installing magisk to the inactive slot first so when my phone rebooted I had lost root although my bootloader was still unlocked. I've done some research on how to reroot it on my own but for the life of me can't figure out how to get the boot img file for my phone.
Could someone please help me out if they know something about this?

Just a thought. A lot of forums have something similar to AF Community at the top of the forum. People will first see announcements, Introductions and Suggestions & Feedback. Which I think is a good thing.

I'm the last person to write in Introductions in December, If you take a look, there are large time gaps between introductions.

I'm new here and not sure how this works but I need help. Does anybody know what icon notification this is it looks somewhat like a fish or a shark?

Couldn't find a way to enlarge the photo to fill the space. Am I missing something with the new update?

Hello guys,
I did a factory reset on my android phone twice, and I am wondering if there's a way I can possibly bring the deleted data back? gigabytes of pictures and videos and all of that!
If so, then how?

Note: I didn't back up the data anywhere.

S20+ with 13.0. I have searched and cant find a way to shut this off. If I receive a text and don't actually open the text I receive another notification within a minute or so. Is there a way to stop that?

Android 11 phone. Recently, when I press the Home button (square in circle), a popup has begun appearing, asking if I want to use BvLauncher as Home, with the alternative of Game mode. I didn't know the phone had either of these apps which cannot be uninstalled (I tried). I choose the 'Always' response but the popup keeps reappearing. I've looked into Settings>App Info which lists all installed apps where I found BvLauncher, turned all its permissions on and made it the default Home app. I still get the popup. How do I stop it?

1. Manufacturer - (Samsung)
2. Model - (SM-A530F)
3. Software version - (says 9.0)
4. Specifics of the problem - this probably is rooted so Someone could connect to this phone and download info/pics/voices maybe even see cam.
5. Specify if the phone is rooted. If you don't know then it probably isn't
- this phone says enforcing and doesnt find Anu Updates for it. Even clearing out.

same problem but with SM-G930F

Hey everybody, it's @MoodyBlues but I can't get logged in. I've tried different browsers, but I just get stuck. I can use the "Log in" button at the top, but as soon as I log in, it takes me to a 'register' page. At other times (sorry, I've been experimenting and don't recall exactly), I was told usernames must be unique, and MoodyBlues is already in use. Um...yeah, by me! What's the secret?

Let's face it: the height of Android excitement is behind us. The smartphone market has matured. New Android announcements just don't hit like they used to... and that's okay. Android will always have a special place in our heart, but as technology enthusiasts, we want and need more.

I'm proposing that we rename Android Forums to The Daily Net, reincarnating our beloved site into a broader community for Tech Enthusiasts. The Daily Net sounds somewhat like an official news source, and that's great- "citizen journalism" on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit have become the world's most valuable and popular source of content.

"The" is us, as a community, driving the conversation conversation.
"Daily" suggests there's always a reason to come back and see What's New.
"Net" gives a tech-centric community network vibe.

We'll still need to figure out how to organize the site and prioritize tech help and support, something on which we've historically thrived.

Desperately want to keep Android Forums? Let me know!
Have your own idea for a new name? Submit it as a suggestion!

We're making big changes, rethinking and reorganizing everything.

As such, you'll see the structure of categories and forums changing as we test things, most notably to include a wider spectrum of tech beyond Android. We're exploring ways to bring our "Channels" system of 1 forum for each "device" to this new site, but it's not something we want to rush- more forums also means more segmentation. As you see changes happening, please keep in mind that we're experimenting and trying our best to do what's right for the community going forward!

How would YOU like to see our content re-organized? What are some sites/forums/brands you LOVE that you'd like to see us emulate in terms of features or design? What are things you DISLIKE that you hope won't come back?

I got the motorola phone case off amazon same as on the website only on amazon it doesnt have the rubber wrap around .2mm i guess for use with a tempered glass screen protector. I had bought two cases one with a plastic screen protector. The flexible rubber backside installed real nice and easily after snapping the front on with screen protector. It fits good feels sturdy the camaro side could have a littlemore screen protector if you ask me. I havent dropped it yet but does anyone know of a good enclosed case like this with a larger rear camara raised edges for camera protection.

I seen the ip68 or 67 waterproof clear cases. Anyone have pictures to compare the two?

Thanks for considering my project!

You've probably noticed that things look a lot different here. Some features are missing. The Blue/Green AF robot theme is gone. What's happening? This is all intentional and a sign of big changes to come.

Android Forums started the day that Google announced Android. We built a community when most people doubted Android would succeed. We partied when HTC/T-Mobile launched the Dream/G1. We were the first to get our hands on Verizon's Droid brand and birthed some of Android's most legendary leaks (like the HTC Incredible). We became the go to source for help with Samsung's Galaxy phones and over the course of a decade built one of the most helpful, informative, fun, and friendly online communities in the history of tech.

And we did it together.

But let's face it: the height of Android excitement is behind us. The smartphone market has matured. New Android announcements just don't hit like they used to... and that's okay. Android will always have a special place in our heart, but as technology enthusiasts, we want and need more.

Today marks the beginning of a major shift, from a community of Android lovers to a destination for all tech enthusiasts. To start that journey, we've decided to strip the site down to its basic building blocks and update our software to the latest and greatest version. The two most important parts of the site remain unchanged: the content and the community.

Stay tuned, feel free to ask questions, and check back daily for updates... you may even find we have a new name soon!

The next big thing is coming...

unable hear playback

Cube ACR 2.3.232 free version, android v12

A) unable hear playback

I have my Cube Connector on.

I was talking to someone with latest version of mobile app, LINE, and I taped it for test. When I clicked on playback, there was no sound.

B) security - how to safeguard our valuable data in address book

I read somewhere that call recording apps are extremely vulnerable to gaining access by third party as well as hacker to exploit one's data.

1) What measures have Cube ACR implemented so that our data in our smartphones are safe from unauthorized use and we would feel at ease using Cube ACR?

2) What is the latest version of your app (free version)?

3) If security is not being seriously enforced, I may have no choice but to uninstall this app.

Sorry I have a hard time making my mind up on buying stuff I research and research before finally buying something. I was thinking about get an a53 5g but researching a lot of people say the older a52 model is far superior to the a53. Can someone tell me the difference between the a52 and a52s? And if one of them would be a better choice over the a53 I've been thinking about getting? I want to ask people who know way more about the subject than me so I can make the best decision I can TIA!

I bought a Logitech K400+ keyboard and I am trying to pair it with my Samsung Galaxy phone. I cannot find the relevant software on the Logitech site. Please, can anyone help me.

Hello All,

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 5G (Verizon Wireless), running One UI 5.0 on top of Android version 13 and for past three weeks I have noticed that my Contacts would "disappear" meaning they are no longer on the device. For example, I would sync the device with Outlook 365 (installed locally on my laptop) and the Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos would sync with the device. The information is not being synced with any cloud service; the information is stored locally on the device and on the laptop.

Then days later when I need to email a contact I would access the Contacts app ( I am using the native Contacts app that comes with the device) and not one single contact is present. All of them seems to have "disappeared." The Notes, Tasks and Memos are all there but not the Contacts.

Then I would do a one-way synced from Outlook to the device and the Contacts would sync to the device. Then days later when looking for a contact on the device they are no longer there.

Has anyone had this experience or heard of this happening?

Regards,

Vernon

Hi
I've had tesco android tvbox whicb was able to show subtitle of certain android app when the caption is of

Now with new t85z okus bix that i acquired in that app eng sub only works when i select eng language with on caption and the rest of the languages regardless of setting will appear as single dot "."

Can anyone help me

In my app I need to call a worker thread which will retrieve technical information from the internet,
update either an EditText or a global variable in the UI thread, and then return to the UI thread where
the updated field will be used in further processing. I have a small experience with Threads having used ASYNCTASK and a simple thread but I am having difficulty getting into this one.

My understanding so far is that, on the one hand "this cannot be done", but on the other hand it can be done by choosing an appropriate synchronization technique. Pretty much all of the examples I have seen do not need the UI to use the returned result, at least not immediately, so I have not recognized an appropriate technique in my searching. I have tried several techniques for passing data between main thread and worker threads.
Examples:
I tried runOnUiThread to set the final value, but It seems to run on the UI thread after the UI thread has carried on?
TextChangedListener in the UI together with runOnUiThread in the worker thread but that does not work either?
I have read about Synchronization but this seems wrong because the main thread must be blocked?
I started looking at WorkManager, RxJava, Eventbus, BroadcastReceiver and more.

It seems to me that what I want to do is quite common and that someone should be able to guide me on which technique might be best to use with perhaps a simple example. I do not mind doing the hard work of learning new stuff but I would really appreciate a starting point for this one.

Thank you, hope you can help
Mick
