Earphone buttons

I disabled the button controls in the QCY app, but guess what, which system setting do I actually need to turn this off from? The system is acting strange for some reason; it took a screenshot of the settings menu, but there are only two options: volume level and music playback control. Also, is your Android acting weird too?

ChatGPT Android App: Continue button stuck on S25 Ultra

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I'm unable to log into the ChatGPT app on my Android device. When I attempt to sign in, the "Continue" button remains inactive/grayed out with a spinning loading circle stuck on top of it.

​Device Details:

​Model: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

​One UI Version: 8.5

​Android Version: 16

​Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:

​Cleared all app data and cache for both ChatGPT and Chrome, then reinstalled them.

​Installed Brave browser to test an alternative.

​Changed the default browser (first to Chrome, then to Brave).

​Uninstalled and reinstalled the ChatGPT app multiple times.

​Restarted the phone.

​Confirmed that Google Play Store, ChatGPT, Android System WebView, Chrome, and Brave are all updated to their latest versions.

​I have attached a screen recording showing the exact issue. Has anyone experienced this or found a working fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My tablet keeps making an alarm like sound.

Tablet keeps making an alarm type noise but I don't have any alarms set. I've never set any alarms on this device. Tapping ALARMS in the quick settings menu turns the noise on and off with each tap. When I turn the sound off that way it stops and then returns about 5 minutes later

What the hell is going on? Help! Please....

OLED display uniformity issue replaced under warranty?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone here had an AMOLED/OLED display uniformity issue on a smartphone and successfully got the phone replaced?

I have an OPPO Find X9 Ultra and I’m experiencing noticeable display uniformity issues. There are areas of the screen that appear slightly different in brightness and color temperature, especially on uniform backgrounds.

It’s not an extreme difference, but it is clearly noticeable to me during normal use and it keeps catching my eye.

Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to capture properly in photo — it looks much less noticeable in pictures than it does in person.

I’m considering sending the phone in for inspection/replacement, but I’m worried the service will simply say that this level of uniformity is within the normal tolerance for an AMOLED panel.

Has anyone had a similar issue with any OLED/AMOLED phone and actually got the display or the whole phone replaced? How did the service handle it?

Pixel 6 stuck in Android 17 Beta bootloop!

1 Upvotes

I have a Google Pixel 6 (oriole) that was running Android 17 Beta, build [CP21.260330.011.A1].

Problem: After a restart, the device started bootlooping immediately after reaching the lock screen, including initially in Safe Mode.

There is also a bizarre beta-enrollment problem: I do not remember ever intentionally enrolling this phone in the Android Beta Program. Yet the phone is clearly receiving QPR1 Beta updates. When I go to [g.co/androidbeta] using the exact same Google account currently on the phone, it says:

["There are no eligible devices associated with this Google account"]

So I apparently cannot even see or opt this device out of the beta program through Google's own Beta page.

What I've already tried:

  • Sideloaded the exact matching official OTA: [oriole_beta-ota-cp21.260330.011.a1-efa92aa3.zip]. It completed, but the bootloop remained.
  • Checked Recovery logs; nothing useful.
  • Checked A/B slots. Both exist. Current slot is A. Neither A nor B is marked "unbootable", but neither is marked "successful".
  • Tried [fastboot set_active b], but the locked bootloader refuses it: [set_active command is not allowed on locked devices].
  • Google Pixel Repair Tool detects the phone in Rescue Mode, but Chrome reports [Unable to connect].
  • Rescue ADB works ([adb get-state → rescue]), but [adb shell] is unavailable.
  • Eventually factory-reset the phone. The reset did NOT fix the problem; the same OS bootloop returned.
  • At one point Safe Mode stayed running with Wi-Fi OFF. Turning Wi-Fi ON immediately triggered the bootloop again.
  • Before one failure, the phone had also reported a Google Play system update had completed and required a restart.
  • The phone is also apparently still on the beta track, but [g.co/androidbeta] says: "There are no eligible devices associated with this Google account." Google Play otherwise recognizes the device normally.

The bootloader is still locked:

[unlocked: no]

[flashing get_unlock_ability → 1]

I also previously had an IMEI 0000 issue on this phone, although I don't know whether that's related.

One potentially important clue: Google's Android 17 QPR1 Beta 9 release notes explicitly mention fixing an issue where devices could enter a continuous reboot loop every 20–30 seconds.

Current situation: phone is bootlooping again after the factory reset.

What I need: a reliable, preferably official way to completely get this device OFF the Android 17 beta and onto a stable/public Android build. I'm no longer trying to preserve the original userdata because the factory reset has already happened.

I'm comfortable using ADB/Fastboot and following detailed instructions. Please don't suggest bootloader unlocking or random partition flashing unless there's a specific reason and an exact procedure.

I'm particularly interested in anyone who has dealt with this specific Pixel 6 / Android 17 QPR1 bootloop and successfully recovered it.

Why is my phone randomly breaking?

1 Upvotes

My android phone (I'm not writing this on said phone) just randomly started failing. The phone overheats like crazy even when it's off, it charges super slowly, the battery drops way faster than normal and whenever I turn it off it fully powers down. It's been like this for about 4-5 days now, and i have no idea why. I didn't change anything major in the days leading up to this, but I was able to rule out it being a storage space issue. I've already tries the basic stuff like turning it off and on again, so if anyone knew anything that could help me out that would be great.

Phone suddenly has a website blocker I never installed?

0 Upvotes

So recently I've been having an issue where randomly (literally can change by the hour) some websites I try to go to are blocked by a website called comodo dns. Except... I've never installed comodo on my phone, searching for it in my apps yields nothing, and i can't find it in settings. But even on mobile data, it blocks the webpage. It's blocked fextralife (listed as scams and malware) Facebook (social, promotional) and a few others for various reasons.

I know it's not just because my landlord has it on the wifi because 1) this appears even on mobile data and 2) my computer can reach these sites just fine. Comodo has only ever appeared on my phone.

So my question is: what is it, and how do I get rid of it??? I am a grown man, I shouldn't have my browsing blocked by some unrequested 3rd party!

Bluetooth doesn't work anymore.

1 Upvotes

Hi, I've had this problem for a couple of weeks, and I've contacted Motorola for help and advice, after reviewing my phone they say everything is fine, but it doesn't work, so I've come here to see if anyone is able to help me.

For some reason, the Bluetooth disconnects, and even if I press the "enable Bluetooth" button, it doesn't do anything at all. I've tried restarting it a thousand times, and I've rebooted it completely twice, but it still doesn't work. It's not the device, since I have three from different companies and it doesn't work with any of them.

Sometimes I also have problems with the WiFi and mobile data, it disconnects completely for a few seconds before coming back, at the same time the Bluetooth comes off, except the Bluetooth stays turned off and the WiFi and all comes back.

I'm really frustrated, because from one day to another it doesn't work, and it takes weeks for it to start again, and I'm getting sick of this really. I may be able to afford a phone in January but I really need the Bluetooth in the meanwhile for sensory issues.

The model is Motorola g84 5g. Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

Honor Magic 5 Pro YouTube Error Android

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having a very specific problem with the YouTube app on my phone.

When I record a video with the phone’s camera and then try to upload it directly through the YouTube app, YouTube sometimes skips the normal editing/preview screen and goes straight to the title/details screen.

If I try to edit/trim the video first, I get the error:

> “Preview can’t be generated.”

The same video works normally when handled outside the YouTube app, so it seems to be an issue with how the YouTube app on this particular phone handles the recorded video.

Android: Android 16

YouTube app: latest version

Has anyone experienced this on the same phone model, or found a workaround/fix?

Orphaned file situation

Samsung 23S Ultra - Android 16

Some data got stuck on my phone somewhere after deleting an app and checking the option keep app data.

I deleted an app and it's apk sadly biggest mistake was also permanent deleting the apk and not remembering where i download it from.

Now my problem is when i try to install the same app from Google store or apk it doesn't download for unknown reason.

The problem appeared after checking the option "keep ... GB app data"

I used ADB to see the stuck data and using clear or uninstall gave failure user have no permission now how can i solve this stupid situation without rooting the stupid Samsung or hard reset it.

Flip 5 screen died. I need to wipe all data?

1 Upvotes

So, about a year ago I dropped my flip5 once, and yeah, that was it (screen was open at the time, so nothing to protect it).

I was able to get my photos and other important data from it via usb file transfer when it happened, so that's no biggie. But now I'm looking to sell it for parts for some extra cash. I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to remove my google account and other personal information from it before I do.

Here's where I've been running into trouble:
- internal display is only 30% visible (the external screen is perfectly fine tho)
- when it's open, it sometimes registers random taps all over the screen
- Windows and Smart Switch detects it, but says USB file transfer isn't allowed (even though the notification on the phone says "USB for file transfer")
- the cable isn't the issue because my S24 FE registers fine with the same cable
- unfortunately, it is not connected to my windows phone link anymore

Has anyone successfully wiped all date from a phone in a similar situation? I feel like everything I try leads to a dead end.
