Just recently I've had issues where my phone doesn't charge. I was traveling last week and in the hotel I plugged in my phone to the provided charger/cable. The same setup I use daily. However, it didn't charge. Switched around cables, outlets, etc. Here's what I'm experiencing now - I plug the phone in to the cable, and brick into the outlet. Nothing. I take the cable out of the phone and rotate it 180 degrees. I get "Cable Charging" (not fast charging). I then can take the cable out of the brick and rotate it 180 degrees and no charge. I repeat the process by switching which end is plugged into the phone and brick. Again, one side I get a charge, rotating it removes the charge.

What is happening here? Is it the cable? The brick? Both? Something else?

Hello.
The tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 itself turned off and got into a bootloop - it doesn't boot into the system because there is not enough memory. Before that it worked fine.
All on the tablet is stock and official, there is no root.

Wipe cache partition tried many times already.

The problem is that there is not enough memory on the tablet - so I need to find a way to delete something, for example, the Tik Tok or YouTube Vanced application.
How to do it using computer and ADB? Here's what I tried: https://postimg.cc/QBb20twx .
ADB sees my tablet only when I enable ADB SIDELOAD mode in recovery: when I select "Apply update from ADB" in recovery. ( https://postimg.cc/PpfjjZYw )

Is there any way to free up some space?

It will be better to find a way without installing root or custom recovery - so that the Knox counter doesn't count.

Error in recovery ( https://postimg.cc/XBFrycqF/c9784539 ):
! ! Caution! !
Not enough storage resource.
Perform "lacking storage booting".

The recovery says that I can try to boot my tablet using a boot with insufficient storage - "lacking storage booting", but there is no such item in my recovery ( https://postimg.cc/XBFrycqF/c9784539 ).
Maybe I should try to install another version of official Samsung firmware or another version of official Samsung recovery that will have "lacking storage booting" feature?

I can't delete all data from the tablet - I'm looking for different way.

Is it possible through ADB to delete something from the tablet in my case?

Many thanks to everyone who will try to help me.

Hi,
I bought an old first generation MotoG, which works quite well.
It has version 4.4.4 on it and I understand that it can be upgraded to 5.1.1
1. Are there any advantages to doing this?
2. If I do, should I use One Click or something else?
3. How do I change the ownership?
Thanks,
.... john

I have been extremely careful to make sure my contacts in groups have mobile numbers yet Textra insist on including some contacts home & work numbers in addition to their mobile numbers. So some individuals are listed 3 time in my groups!

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix ?

Hello. I’m new to this forum. I've been coding professionally for 20 years & want to share what I've learned with the community.

I'm also working on an educational YT channel. I wanted to make it more fun, so I'm teaching AI techniques by building a bot to play video games. I'm planning to start by covering a broad range of programming topics at a surface level & then go in-depth on each one. I'm starting with TFT (TeamFight Tactics), but if you have a strategy game suggestion, let me know.

YT link removed.

Recently, after using this app for years with no problem, it stopped being able to locate devices or make them "scream"
Then when trying to upgrade to premium hoping that would help, it would not let me do so. saying "your email and password do not match" which is usually a sign-IN as opposed to a sign-UP prompt, when lets you select the password.
Nor would it let me delete the account
So I tried signing back in with old account, and then got a "sorry we're having trouble connecting with our servers" error message.
So, lookout mobile security won't work, can't upgrade, won't allow me to sign up for a new account and can't delete the account.
It makes me think that maybe their company is having problems, or maybe has been the victim of a DOS attack.
Note: This behavior is consistent with all my devices, two google Pixel 6 Pro's two Amazon HD fire tablets, and am iPhone 10.
If anyone has any ideas on how to approach this dilemma I'd be grateful, for advice.
Thanks!

Just made it to the signup page in their website went through the process only to be told "we can't accept payments now"

Over the past 2 years, reception and bars for MetroPCS have gotten progressively worse, and now that they have implemented 5G, sometimes the signal will drop out all together. I'm in the middle of a metropolitan city, near several cell towers, and have my phone set to go to 5G, or to alternate with LTE in case of a weak signal. Doesn't make a difference. Service is sucking more and more. Here's the deal. I like paying a flat rate ($40 in my case), for relatively unlimited data. Can anyone suggest another carrier that can offer me a similar rate, with better reception?
Thanks!
(Currently rocking a Google Pixel 6 pro)

There's a game series that I want to play (Dragon Quest), but they offer 0 controller support. I couldn't find anything on Google about forcing and mapping controller support. Is there another app I could use to do so without rooting the phone? I've been out of the rooting scene for almost a decade.

Type when using either portrait or landscape, is that a hardware manufunction, on my moto edge plus, as of lately, sorry I just forgot to write in this massive issue like forever ago, is it caused by a third party app? Anyone know why?

Hi,

I've seen that all photos that end up in Crowdsource are from users in Flickr, you can go there by tapping donator's photo.

How can one become a donator?

Hi, I'm working on an app who make the conversion between decimal degrees and degrees minutes seconds. I have to make an "Export" button to export the entered decimal degrees coordinates and the DMS coordinates to a CSV file (the format of the table would be: id, decimal degrees, DMS) and share the file to other apps. Anybody has some hints how should I do that?

Getting a transparent button highlighted in red on my realme GT2 screen, don't know what that is for but that remains over any app i open. Need help to remove it.Anyone knows what that is for?

My S22 Ultra 'International Model' does not support "Add Call" or "Merge Call" functions. The button is whited out in each case. I've had this checked out by Samsung America who said they could not help as the phone is an international model. T-Mobile has no idea what to say.

Would anyone have an idea about this.

Hi, I just bought a new A52s and checked the CPU. However, even though it's listed everywhere as the Snapdragon 778G, in my device it's not there and I see the Cortex-A55 instead.

Is it normal? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hi! So i have realme C11 2021 and it's running Android 11 Go, when i try installing Google from Play Store, it downloads but when start installing, it gives an error, then i tried installing using adb and i get this error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox attempting to redeclare permission com.google.android.apps.now.OPT_IN_WIZARD already owned by com.google.android.apps.assistant]

can anyone please help?

has anyone figured out a way to revert back to the old one? this new one is so buggy and broken.

SOLUTION: File > Settings > Experimental > under Logcat uncheck "Enable new Logcat tool window"

Just curious if any of my fellow AFers play GeoGuessr? I've been quite into it the last few months and thought it might be fun to do a group game sometime if anyone plays.

I am trying to learn about Android Studio Grid Layout with a simple example with four buttons. I have made three copies of a button to get four buttons but they stay on top of each other. I have set 2 rows and 2 columns. Shoulden't the buttons adapt to four separate buttons in a grid?

I have installed Android Studio Chipmunk and I use Windows 11.

2 weeks ago a random unrecognised phone number appeared as the "owner (admin)" on my Huawei phone in the settings under "users and accounts" I only found as I was just looking through the settings.

I was still able to use my phone as normal and had no security notifications from Google or anything...

Firstly I'm at a loss how this was done but secondly - did this person really have total control of my phone and all its contents? I'd almost feel better if it was just google services and I caught it in time

How can there be a different owner/admin while I'm still using my phone without me noticing?

Previously it must have been my Gmail address I guess. I've since factory reset the phone and changed all my passwords which fixed it.

Would love to hear people's technical thoughts on this.

Hi everyone, can I invite you to pre-register for my game? I should launch it soon and I started the pre-registration campaign on the Play Store.

Thank you

Hey everyone.

I have a RealMe 8 Pro, which is a great phone all round! But after the recent update it now runs quite glitchy :'(

Just as an example, if I'm running Google maps and need to have a look at another app it struggles with transitioning between the two and G-Maps will often crash. Or if I get WhatsApp notifications in the drop-down sometimes I can't swipe them away.

I would try clearing cache but they appear to have removed the option from the storage menu also :/

Has anyone got any other suggestions?

TIA
