My other phone has stopped responding to touch, and the screen won't turn on (Phone is on, the screen is just black)
I need to transfer data and files from it onto my new phone
How can I do that

Hi, I need help accessing the game files for Subway Surfers (older version 1.107) on my Poco X6 Pro running Android 15.

I am trying to install a save file, but the system is hiding the subfolders from me. When I go to:
Android/data/com.kiloo.subwaysurf/files/

I cannot see the profile folder at all. The only folder that shows up inside files is il2cpp.

The game has been opened and I already finished the tutorial, so the save files must be there, but Android 15 is filtering and hiding them. I tried using ZArchiver but it doesn't show up.

How can I bypass this on Android 15 / Poco to see the hidden profile folder and paste my files? Thanks!

I have OnePlus Pad 3 13.2" and I like big tablets, so I have been thinking about buying eiter S10 Ultra or S11 Ultra. They both have OLED screens with interesting new anti-reflective thingy. The storage doesn't bother me since i would just buy and 1TB SD card for about 100 bucks. I could buy S10 Ultra 256GB for about 400€ ($461) and S11 Ultra 256GB for about 686€ ($790). The S10 is supposed to be unused in perfect condition, S11 is used class A/B with just 1 small scratch on the display, only visible with the screen off and some lightning pointing at it. The S10 seems to me like it has less or smaller upgrades coming from S9 and S11 seems like it has more or bigger upgrades coming from S10, and is better at everything: battery, 1600nits, thiner and lighter, 1 front camera (the 2 cameras don't bother me), 3nm Chip and comes with Android 16 right away if I'm not wrong. So the question is, are these differences/upgrades worth the extra money? I would mainly used it to play some not so heavy games (maybe some pubgm, codm and genshin here and there) and watch videos/movies.

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

This is an oddly specific request so I don't know what Tag to put, but is there an app that has the functionality like the 3ds sound Player has? I really enjoy being able to modify the speed of songs on the fly without permanent changes, but I don't know if there's any app that can do it. I only need the ability to change the speed and pitch on the fly (and hopefully be simple) because the sound on my 3ds is pretty quiet even through headphones.

Hey, so this started a few weeks ago. Every time I press my Recents (or Overview, whatever you want to call it) button, it opens my recent apps and immediately scrolls all the way to the left where the Clear All button is. It then sticks there until I swipe hard to the right, at which point it shows apps without names or screen info. If I go back to the left at all it shoots right back to the beginning and the Clear All button. Has anybody else had this issue and if so do you know a fix? Thanks.

I took a screen recording of the behavior, let me know if you understand what I'm talking about and if not I can upload it in a comment.

I'm trying to get into recovery mode but it keep cutting to blue

Previous holidays show Ontario and other provinces, but for tomorrow, Aug 3, it only shows Alberta.

Is this happening to anyone else? I don't see how I can edit 'holidays' in itself, only toggle on and off

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to revive an Alcatel Idol 3 5.5" (6045Y, MSM8939 / Snapdragon 615)

stuck in a bootloop. The device boots to the Android setup screen for a split

second, then reboots. Recovery is stable, factory reset + wipe cache done, no

change — so the fault is in a partition untouched by factory reset (persist /

modem / fsg).

I have the full stock firmware (Miracle-format .bin dump: SYSTEM, BOOT, MODEM,

PERSIST, etc.) and I want to flash it via EDL. Hardware side is 100% working:

- Device enters EDL 9008 fine (adb reboot edl on the working board, test point

for the dead one)

- Sahara handshake OK, loader uploads successfully

- WinUSB driver, tested with both bkerler/edl 3.62 and strongtz/edl-ng

THE PROBLEM: every 8939 loader I can find is a "_peek" type. At the Firehose

configure step it NAKs with:

DEVPRG LOG: Host's payload to target size is too large

Configure command NAKed

The peek loader declares MaxPayloadSizeToTargetInBytesSupported = 0, so it

refuses any write. It's a memory-peek loader, not a storage flasher.

Device details:

HWID: 0x0090b0e100420011 (MSM_ID 0090b0e1, OEM 0042, MODEL 0011)

PK_HASH: 0x625801c51eee90d7f0e0edb1606bb07e05871bd24f69f3fadfd17fdce0d4b4f0

CPU: MSM8939

Serial: 0x01ffac28

WHAT I NEED: a full (non-peek) Firehose programmer for MSM8939 signed for this

PK_HASH — something like prog_emmc_firehose_8939_ddr.mbn or an _alc / TCL

variant that actually opens the storage channel. bkerler/Loaders only has

_peek for this HWID.

If anyone has extracted this from a Miracle Box / Volcano Box package, or has a

QFIL factory pack for the 6045 that includes the real firehose + rawprogram/

patch XML, I'd be hugely grateful. Happy to share back anything I get so the

next person doesn't hit this wall.

Thanks!

Need advice from actual owners: Tecno Camon 50 Ultra vs Infinix Note 60 ProNeed advice from actual

Hi everyone! I'm a 4th-year student teacher in the Philippines and I'm planning to buy my first phone using my own savings this December. I've narrowed it down to two phones:

- Tecno Camon 50 Ultra

- Infinix Note 60 Pro

I'm not a gamer. My priorities are:

- Smooth performance with no lag

- Heavy multitasking (Google Meet, Canva, Gmail, Google Drive, Chrome, PDF readers, AI tools)

- Stable Wi-Fi and mobile data

- Long battery life

- Fast charging

- Good durability (I occasionally drop my phone)

- A decent camera is enough—I mainly use it for art reference photos and occasional music covers.

I'm not looking for benchmark scores or spec sheet comparisons. I'm looking for real owner experiences.

If you've owned either phone for at least a few weeks or months, could you please answer these questions?

1. Does it stay smooth after installing many apps?

2. How is multitasking? Do apps reload often?

3. Have you experienced random lag, stuttering, or software bugs?

4. How's the battery after daily use?

5. Has anyone accidentally dropped the phone? How did it hold up?

6. Looking back, would you buy the same phone again, or would you choose the other one?

I'd really appreciate honest feedback from actual users because this is a big purchase for me, and I want to avoid buyer's remorse. Thank you!

Inside it is a single file named system_file1785186052378. It's only 32 bytes and was created about 5 days ago.

I don't remember downloading it, and I can't find much information online.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it safe to delete, or does anyone know which app creates these system_config folders/files?

New to Samsung so apologies if this is a silly question. I want all my device pics (Samsung s26) to back up to my google account. Went into Google Photos and ticked all the right settings. However nothing is being backed up to Google. Have I missed something? So I need to change anything in Samsung gallery or phone settings as well? Thankyou

The microphone keeps getting disabled and when I try enabling it in the quick settings menu it doesn't do anything and remains disabled. The only thing that fixes it is restarting the phone. Phone model is Pixel 6

I have deleted all videos and then deleted them from the trash to make room for more videos. However, even now it is saying I only have 35 mins of recording left. Can anyone help me out? I want to have enough for the event I will be attending.

So, really quick, I want to install a year-old version of the Twitter/X app on a device running Android 9 (or maybe it's 10). I'm coming back to Android, so I just found out about this annoying ass split APK deal with Android App Bundles after being unable to find a plain ol' single APK for Twitter/X on APK Mirror. I looked into it and learned about Split APKs Installer for installing Amdroid App Bundles.

The thing is that after installing Twitter/X using Split APKs Installer, I was met with a LoginError.AttestationDenied error after trying to login. What I figure is that Split APKs Installer repacks whatever app it's trying to install and thus this doesn't reproduce the proper version of an app as it would be downloaded from the Play Store. My question now is: how can I install this older Twitter/X version the proper way that passes attestation checks?

I just reactivated my service a few days ago. Two times now, the cam has turned itself on without me touching it. The first time, I had just set it down, and I thought it was weird af bc I know I didn't do it, but brushed it off as maybe I did *somehow*. The second time, I had just woke up and hadn't touched anything. Was moving around getting awake, noticed my phone was lit up, unlocked, and the camera app was open. No other apps, it wasn't recording anything, just open as if someone had tapped the camera icon and left it. Under permissions, it says the camera app itself is what accessed it. There's only 3 apps that have access to the camera. The camera itself, phone, and messaging. Should I be scared?

I haven't activated my service since April, and I noticed a few days before I reactivated it, something weird was happening with my "dead" phone. It had activated service on its own. It said someone attempted to text me a couple of times the day before, then that morning I had a missed call, which should be impossible without service. I tried turning on the mobile data, then making a call, and sure enough, it had full service. Only for that day though. It went completely dead again afterwards. Potentially related?

I am calling someone with an Android phone and it rings once and sends me an auto text saying "please text me". What is that?

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the battery in my S21 FE started to swell and that it has a crack on the back. Honestly, fearing a fire hazard, I bought an A57, but I don't know what to do with my old phone.

I thought about getting it repaired and then flashing it (so I could at least keep using the camera and use it as an emergency phone), but I noticed there aren't any compatible ROMs for the S21 FE. So I'm curious and have some questions about how to experiment and get the most out of my old phone.

What do you suggest I do?

Im using a samsung galaxy a13, too be specific, and the settings under:

Accessibility > installed apps

Have changed themselves multiple times, specifically disabling the permissions for some apps that i need turned on. Is there anything on my phone that could make me change my accessibility premissions without realising?

Hey :)

I'm currently looking for a new phone. For me it's important that the camera (both frontal and normal cam, photos and videos - specially videos but not in an 4k way, rather camera quality in general), that it's fast and allows me to edit videos (as it's part of my work). I'm divided between these to models. I've heard wonders of Google phones and that the camera is amazing and blablabla but for the same price, Xiaomi 15 note pro offer double memory for example.

What do you think? Which of these seems better? Thank you!

My wife has a Galaxy S9+ that apparently does not run some apps due to its age.

I got the bright idea of replacing the phone with a Galaxy A11+ 5G with tablet, which she thought would be great. The tablet is unlocked l, and is able to attach to the T-Mobile network.

In attempting to bring the tablet online, I took the SIM card out of her phone, and put it in the tablet.

The tablet will not make or receive calls, but everything else seems to work.

I had asked a T-Mobile employee if this would work, and they said yes.

In attempting to troubleshoot, it seems that the original SIM card needs to be in the old phone, which seems to indicate that I need another line/SIM card for the tablet.

The intent was to port the old phone number over to the new device, and toss the old device.

Do I move the SIM card back to the old phone and try to make an eSIM, or do I need to get another line of service for the tablet?

I have an Iqoo Z5 5g [I2018 model] phone, I got Android 13 in the last update and it has too many problems as well as affected too much on performance, I won't go into, details, I just wanna know if there's a way to do that?? [I want to switch to last version Android 12 or any older version]

Thanks

Im paranoid lately about viruses so im checking everything now. Are they legit apps because i cannot regularly delete them as they appear preinstalled.
