My Pixel 7 Pro is rooted, however, it still grabs updates, etc., and I want to stop it from doing that. I did some searching and I found that to do this, I could simply rename a few files.

However, I have been unable to rename the files. This is what I have done:

• Installed ConnectBot
• typed 'su'
• cd'ed to the directory that has a file to rename
• typed 'mv oldFileName newFileName'

This resulted in the error mv: bad 'oldFileName': Read-only file system

Question: can someone point me to instructions that would allow me to make the file system not read-only or some other approach for addressing this issue? Thanks.

I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy 11 currently running on Android 11. It used to run on Android 10 and I updated it because I was hoping it would be a minor bug fix and make the notification go away. Now it just kinda sucks. I plan on later getting a new Galaxy 11 running A10 out-of-the-box style, and have a plan to prevent myself from making this mistake again.

What I need is uninstallation of the System Update app, or apps, since my current Galaxy 11 has 3 for some reason. I know this requires ADB, but I don't know the package names and I'm scared of doing anything fancy without step-by-step instructions. Smart Switch can take care of data transfer I think.

If anyone could tell me how to remove Android 10's facilities for system updates using ADB, it would be much appreciated.
If a secure download of ADB could also be found, please provide it. I know how to get the dev settings and USB debugging, though.

Best regards, Alex.

Добрий день!

Якщо ваш телефон вимкнувся самостійно і не запускається належним чином, відображаючи повідомлення англійською мовою, це, здається, вказує на проблему з пристроєм. Повідомлення, яке ви бачите англійською мовою:

"Ваш пристрій пошкоджено. Це не можна довіряти і може не працювати належним чином. Натисніть кнопку живлення, щоб продовжити, інакше пристрій вимкнеться за 5 секунд."

Перш ніж виникла ця проблема, телефон попросив дозволу на оновлення, і ви вирішили оновити її на той час. Операційна система, здавалося, працює нормально, але через хвилину телефон вимкнувся, і ви зіткнулися з поточною ситуацією. Ви намагалися перезавантажити режим відновлення, але це не вийшло.

Побачивши текст ще раз, ви натиснули кнопку живлення, і на ній з'явилося "USB" та повідомлення:

"Телефон автоматично перезапуститься через 60 секунд без будь-якої операції або натисне і утримує кнопку живлення протягом 8 секунд, щоб вийти з режиму швидкого завантаження, а потім перезавантажити."

Однак навіть після його перезапуску нічого не змінилося.

Display issue on samsung s9. Screen goes dark on adaptive brightness (often after like 4-5 hrs). If I adjust the brightness to anything below 60%, it goes real dark (with or without adaptive brightness). For now I have kept the brightness to max. Seems to work now. But looks like over all the brightness of phone is bit reduced.

Been using this phone for past 4 yrs tho. No issues till now.

Greetings to everyone!

My question would be if someone could tell me what these 2 android games have in common, because after installation both immediately restart my Nokia t10 android 13 tablet and what could possibly be done to solve this problem?

these are:

Home Mansion: Makeover Dream - Apps on Google Play


Mergedom: Home Design - Apps on Google Play"

Thank you in advance for your help and answers

I have an LG Velvet 5G and notice that sometimes it takes considerable time for photos to actually appear in both my receieved and sent texts.

Example: My brother sends a picture message and I can see a blank space where a picture should be, but it does not appear. It may never appear or will take many minutes to appear.

It also happens to photos I send. I will see a photo I sent when I am actively sending it, but when I reopen the text message later there is a blank space where my photo was.

What is going on?

I recently purchased a Yumkem T13 tablet, running android 10 go, as a non working unit. I have been able to reset the device in recovery mode and it seems to work until I try to enable wifi or Bluetooth. As soon as I turn these on the device crashes almost instantly and I have to reset it again in recovery or it crashes as soon as it reaches the home screen on startup. I looked around for a custom rom to determine if it is a software issue but I couldn't find a compatible one. Has anyone run into this issue before and know a fix?

I love ST so far but I need a phone that is smaller. The ones I have used, the Moto Stylus and the Samsung are just too big and heavy. Does ST offer a phone with a good amount of memory and 5G that isn't so big and heavy? If not could I use another phone from a different carrier and transfer it to my ST plan? Thanks in advance!

I want to downgrade my IQOO Z3 5G from Android 13 to Android 12 but I am unable to do so because when I went to the official website to download the zip file, all it does is made me download an HTML file that leads to nowhere, is this only happening to me? The file I wanted to download is PD2159F_EX_A_3.13.3. Someone please help.

Update: Thanks it worked : )

I have a Motorola G play. I have downloaded the Echolink from Google play store, and have used it without problems for 2 years.
Yesterday It will not work, it says that I have an incorrect password. I went to the Echolink page and reset the password.
I then uninstalled the app and reinstalled. however all instructions say tap settings and put in name and password. There is no place for password.
And when I reinstall the app the same info is on the app...help

This is cool and scary at the same time.

Hi. The touch screen on my co-worker's S22 Ultra is very erratic. She has begun having problems with scrolling and touch response. I read somewhere about doing a forced reboot by pressing volume down and power buttons simultaneously. I don't want to recommend that unless I'm confident no harm can come of that. Has anyone ever tried that method?

You may have seen that big changes are coming:

Some big updates as we experiment with the path forward:

• We've installed "Tag Essentials" which we hope can be used to replace our former "Channels" functionality, allowing us to create virtual "forums" around specific phones, devices, and other topics.
• We've re-installed Media Gallery and Resource Manager. These were used sparingly in previous iterations of AF and we may be starting from scratch here. We'll see.

If you spot these new features and have suggestions/opinions, please speak up! We've got lots of testing to do and will try to make things perfect with your help.

I press the microphone button on the remote control and nothing happens. I can't find a specific thing in settings to turn it back on, or turn it on/off at all. Edit: I have just now noticed that every other button on the remote when pressed causes the light on the bottom of the TV to flash, but the microphone one does not. Has to be a hardware thing I think. Thanks all for replies

Along with my pre-order for the Fold5, I threw in the official Samsung Fold5 stand and strap case to start me off. No doubt I will be looking to get other cases as the range increases.



MobileFun are offering some different cases, here...

This is getting extremely frustrating. I have a 2022 Kia Stinger. Ok google works fine when i get in the car and am connected to bluetooth and/or android auto. When I get out of the car and get on my mobile data or another wifi network, "ok google" has no response. Doesn't even trigger the assistant... I have to force close the app and then it works immediately... How do I fix this?

edit: phone is a Z Fold 4

please help me lmk what icon this is its a square and top right is blue and the bottom left is red..

I decided to link my S23 to my PC via USB, and it looks like it's impossible. The web says to find a Settings area labeled "System" and change the USB setting. My phone has no "System" area. I looked through all the settings, and I can't find anything that relates to connecting via USB.

I saw a bunch of nonsense about going through Microsoft, logging in, blah blah blah. I have no interest in turning this into a huge project. I just want to connect so I can delete a bunch of old files from the phone.

Nothing shows up on the PC or phone when I connect the cable, and I installed Samsung's USB driver on the PC.

Samsung have finally announced the details for the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5.


Launch date is 11th August but those pre-ordering could receive them as early as the 4th August.

Not too much difference in spec's from the Fold4. See the differences, here...


Not too much difference in price for those pre-ordering as 512GB storage is being offered for the price of 256GB = £1,749.00p

Hello, I'm trying to connect to a VPN through OpenVPN and a SSH tunnel, but the browser won't forward my traffic to an app running in the subnet of the server, even though VPN is connected and the SSH tunnel says that I'm also connected to the server. (Works properly on PC)

Could this be a problem with SSH tunnel traffic forwarding in android or should I look elsewhere?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, I've tried two SSH clients: JucieSSH and OpenSSH in Termux. I've also tried two VPN clients: OpenVPN from the PlayStore and OpenVPN for android from F-Droid.
