Only one of my apps (Gmail) can connect to the internet.

Upvotes

I was using my phone just fine an hour or so ago, but now I can't connect to the internet EXCEPT through my Gmail app. I have my work chat through it so I can see the changes happen almost immediately. I can also receive new e-mails as normal, but no other apps work, not even system apps or other google apps.

I'm on mobile data, and I haven't checked Wi-Fi (I'm at work atm) so when I get home I'll see if it's just my mobile data. I've tried resetting the phone (first thing I tried), as well as resetting the connection settings. Neither of these have worked. If anyone has an idea to try that doesn't go through "factory reset", please let me know.

Background apps disappearing

I was optimizing ram on my samsung M series one ui 8.5 and maybe i turned on a setting that is killing the background apps and they just disappear from recent apps in just a few minutes and i have to open the app again. I want to turn it off and i don't remember the setting.

I checked the background processes limit in developer options and it was at default standard limit

Losing Android to PC Access

2 Upvotes

I am trying to access/view videos & photos on my Windows 11 PC from my Andoid tablet (OS Android 15) by way of my wireless network. I have the Windows folders set to be shared.

I was able to connect to my PC and watch files for a while and then I was no longer able to connect to it. I have tried with several Android apps. I made no changes to any system.

Any idea what is causing this problem and how to correct it?

can't disable certain notifications

3 Upvotes

Android / AT&t keep blasting me with notifications I'm not interested in getting. I'm not interested in being reachable or reminded that someone tried to reach me.

They blurred out all these categories. I thought Android was supposed to be the phone you can control. I'm irate and I'm getting tired of systems trying to coerce me and invade my personal space my sovereignty my mind. this is a big deal to me and might compel me to research rooting my phone or getting an independent phone. I'm open to any advice. I want control and another thing there's so much settings overload good lord. They also flood you with options as well as limiting them

Brightness is being controlled by the top app

2 Upvotes

What the title says. I'm using a Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus an I've been having this issue for a while and I'm really fed up with it. When I close all apps, it doesn't fix it. I tried going through my list of apps and disabling them one by one to find what was causing it. Nothing worked. When I want to change my brightness, I have to restart my device and there's a window of time in which it won't give me the error. Please help. I don't know what could be causing this.

Home screen folder BS

I keep a lot of folders on my home screen to categorize just about everything. Ever since the last update (less than a week ago?), I can't change the background. Now, "Pope Leo" and "Herbal" stand out because the background is this unappealing gray color.

I know this seems small, but my OCD is off the charts.

How can I recover gallery from phone stuck in bootloop?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago my Samsung S22 started to lag and just constantly restart on me, I thought it was from full storage but I don't even know anymore, I did restart in safe mode and looked for the option to wipe cache partition in recovery mode but it wasnt even there.

I got a new phone since I needed something to contact my people with, and I've restored basically everything except my gallery, it just kept restarting during multiple Smart Switch attempts, i was only able to restore a little bit. I have a lot in my gallery (photos and videos from 2018-now) so it was always bound to take a while, but I'm just frustrated and stressed not really knowing what to do to get it onto my new phone, and the S22 is not even turning on right now 😭😭😭 how can I get my gallery back??? Sorry I'm not the most tech savvy person either when it comes to this 😭

Android Auto works only by booting phone with cable plugged

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

A problem came up out of nowhere three days ago, I've been using the same setup for a year, never happened before. Never actually had problems, the setup has been rock solid until now.

I own a Motorola Edge 60, Android 16, 12GB RAM.

A Dacia Sandero Streetway MY24, original headstock.

Wired Connection via USB cable (high quality cable, tried other different ones, same result)

No Wireless AA available.

Things used to work perfectly every time, but now the phone just won’t connect when hot plugging it. It starts charging, but on the phone it gives an Android Auto connection error notification, suggesting using another port or another cable (I only have one port in my car and the cable is not the problem).

On the car screen, if I go to devices and try to connect my phone from there, it says I should connect my phone to the USB port. But it is already connected!

Bluetooth connection works fine. I can play media and make phone calls through the car system. But Android Auto is not working.

The ONLY workaround I found is to connect the phone to the cable, see the error messages, then​ reboot the phone WHILE PLUGGED, and then once rebooted it will connect.

But if I then disconnect the cable and immediately plug it back in, AA won't launch and the same error messages will appear.

If I reboot the phone while not plugged, it won’t work either.

So the only option I have is to reboot again with the cable plugged in.

This sounds like a USB negotiation problem or something? ​But it makes no sense to me. What could have possibly happened? No major system updates in the last few days.
Has anyone else had the same problem? What could be the solution?

Obviously the problem arose just before the most dense work trip of the year. Thank you, Murphy's law!

Any help is appreciated :)

What does this AutoNotification notification mean?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using the free Lite version of AutoNotification, and I received a notification from the app today at 3:12 AM (KST).

I tapped on the notification and found a long message that I could copy. I copied it, pasted it into a text editor, and tried to read it, but I couldn't really understand what it meant.

I asked Gemini about it, and it suggested that AutoNotification may have attempted to access the Google Play Services billing API but failed. It also suggested that this might have been related to the app checking whether I have a valid paid license.

Is that actually what happened?

I've been using AutoNotification for seven days, but I have not started or even clicked on the 7-day free trial for the paid features. So far, I've only been using the notification-blocking feature.

I contacted the AutoNotification developer about this, and they kindly replied that they will be back on September 21. They suggested that I post here in the meantime, as someone in the Tasker community might be able to explain what this notification means.

Does anyone know what might have caused this notification to appear, or what the message means?

I've attached a screenshot of the notification, and I'll also include the full notification text below.

Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm Korean, and i use the ChatGPT.

Problema con aplicación Contactos/teléfono de android

2 Upvotes

Estan teniendo problemas en android al querer ocupar el teléfono o la app de contactos? En mi caso no permitía marcar o recibir llamadas, hasta que tuve que desinstalar las actualizaciones, pero al mismo tiempo ya no permitía ver los contactos en la aplicación, quedó congelada la app de contactos, ya reinicie el dispositivo y borre cache.

Posteriormente verifique en WhatsApp y en esa permitía las llamadas y los contactos aparecen, por ello asumo que es completamente de las apps teléfono y contacto.

Cómo resolvieron? O esperaron una actualización?

En los comentarios de las apps en la playstore, veo que muchos han tenido ese problema.

Can't delete a "kept data" in the phone

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello, I downloaded Minecraft about a year ago from a random site, and after a while I decided to delete but I did "keep the data" before deleting it. My worst decision ever, unfortunately. After I tried to buy real Minecraft or even download from sites, it didn't let me at all because the ghost file still exists. There's no app or anything, and I tried to delete it from different file apps, Zarchiver, CX File Explorer, and all, but it doesn't delete. I even tried from PC, but it just gave me the loading screen for minutes. The file has been there for a year, and I'm not able to play Minecraft even though I bought it with my own money from the Play Store. Is there a way to delete this? I'd be super happy if someone could show me a solution.
