My Chromebook asks me to sign in. When I put my password in, it says go to my phone. I have a Pixel 9. The screen is completely black and will not work. I can't see anything. Any texts, calls, emails, or notifications of any kind will not appear even if it buzzes/rings.

Please help. I'm getting desperate. I'm also concerned that if I powerwash the Chromebook, I will stil run into the same issue. Any help?

My laptop is charging but it's not turning i tried everything and it's still not opening

Hey there! I just need help getting my old Samsung note 8 tablet out of factory mode since I can't exactly do anything white it's like this :P

I'm not particularly versed in tech so I thought I'd post here

I have a samsung note 20 ultra 5g and it is running on One ui 5.1 and Android 13. There is no official software update for this phone, so how can i manually update its software?

I've recently had my wifi router upgraded (Xfinity) and am no longer able to use certain games (like online MMORPG games and also some of my online schooling) or apps without it eventually kicking me off and saying I'm no longer online. I've tried to forget my password and re enter, I reset and power washed my Chromebook and router.. I've factory reset the Chromebook as well. Went into the settings and also tried to change the DNS or whatever it was called and also didn't work. I feel like I've tried everything. Went on Xfinitys app and tried changing the advanced security.. nothing. My YouTube wouldn't even work there for a hot minute. I just recently bought this Chromebook no more than 6 months ago. Anyone think they can help me out? 🥹

I have a newer Samsung but I can't remember the model. Ive had it for 2 years.

Other then the apps my phone wont let me delete, I have 22 apps total and half of them are in deep sleep.

I have about a thousand images in total, but my storage app says thats barely anything.

It does say apps is taking up most of my storage (im assuming messages) but how do I clear that out? What do I even do to clear storage from that?

Any help would be great, I have no storage and I cant even download tiktok.

Clearing cache does nothing. All my deleted stuff is permanently deleted.

I'm using Samsung S9 FE+. When keyboard is on the screen, the back button turns from < to v, and when you press that, the keyboard disappears. But on my Chrome the back button changes into v but when I press it, it works like keyboard is already gone and goes to the previous site. I've tried pressing empty space on the screen to make the keyboard disappear but it just stays there. The only way of making the keyboard disappear is by going to device's home screen and reopening Chrome. I don't have this issue with other apps so I tried deleting Chrome cache but it didn't work, I also tried restarting the device but again, no luck. Can someone help me understand what's wrong

So, I'm on a 5g Cricket. For some reason, when I put it in my pocket, or in my bag for too long, it restarts itself. I don't even notice until 30 minutes later when I hear a chime.

The second issue is that for some reason, I don't get notifications from anything unless either it's two notifications in a row, or if I'd been using the app within the past few days.

Anything helps!

I'm not sure if this subreddit could help, but it's worth a shot -

From whoever had this number before me (based on some spam texts I've gotten more rarely, I can even name them. Thank you, Donna. :/) I get a LOT of spam calls. Like, nonstop. Not checking my voicemail over the holidays (partially from my phone bugging out until I discovered it needed an update) left me with 43 voicemails, only about 7 of which weren't spam

It's so non-stop, my phone never gives caller ID for them, I've blocked so many of them but these bot-recordings come from a different number every time, even if it's the same recording. I just get exhausted checking my voicemail because of this, I can't leave my ringer on because of how few important calls I get, and I just need to get my number off the lists these scam loan bots use

Previosly my phone got hardbricked due to some issue. I had posted on xioami sub and got it fixed using gennsys edl file. After that baseband version is set to that and also my imei number is 0.

I tried flashing qcn shared on internet and edit imei number using qcn imei editor, it end up with nv data corrupted error. I had to do all the struggle to refix it back from soft brick.

But the imei 0 is not fixed. There were few ways of flashing modem, and other files and then editing it through unlock/hydra/mrt or some similar tools..but choosing this path where u need to either rent that tool or else find free alternatives..but these tools are highest malware infected..hence i feared to use that. So if any one have any ideas please do share..

The display pixels just stay a color which is on screen. Is it a software issue or display issue!? How can I fix this?!

I have a Samsung Galaxy A57, it's brand new so shouldn't have any issues. I even bought a cable specifically for data, still, USB tethering keeps disconnecting every 10-15 mins randomly. Another issue I've noticed is that whenever I switch default USB config to USB tethering, it switches back to transferring files or charging phone only on it's own?? I have disabled the ability for the pc to make the USB ports "sleep" if they aren't being used as well. I don't know what to do anymore :<
EDIT: another issue - when I try to enable USB tethering in the default USB config, it only lets me enable it when I restart the phone, but instantly after it switches to transferring files on it's own and doesn't let me switch to USB tethering anymore? What is that all about

Hello!

There are two phones, the same provider, vpn. They are in the same room.

One of them works with vpn, everything is fine.

On the other vpn does not work. The reset of the mobile network was already done. If you distribute the Internet to it from the first phone, everything works.

Please tell me what could be the reason and how to fix it.

Thanks

Hey guys. A few days back, I backed up my whatsapp and deleted the app for some reason.

Today, while restoring, i accidentally also backed up and thought there was another issues and reinstalled the app and lost all chats from after the first backup.

Is there any way to get it back on android and windows?

So yesterday my mom is complaining that her phone suddenly has ads even after restarting her phone so i did some digging and i found this "app" is there anyway for me to know how this app got to her phone?

When ads shows up the manage keyboard shows up first and when i try press recent task it shows an app with a weird logo named system and i couldn't go to the exact app.

So i went on app list and looked one after another and couldn't find the supposedly system app so i used google ai and it said that it was this exact app that does it unfortunately im not good enough with phones to know what exact app allowed for it to be downloaded.

I just wanna know what app did it and how it did it so i can tell my family to watch out for this kind of thing (also I've already deleted the app and its already 20 minutes after deletion and no more ads)

My tab screen just keeps flickering.

It did fall but not recently, tried resetting tab but happened this 2nd time in a week now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Like title says - it suddenly started

1. Restarting multiple times in normal usage (turns sorta green, screen glitches and then turns off)

2. Losing cell tower signal on both sims every time I turn on/off WiFi and/or data.

Last software update was in June and this started today morning Apr 30.

Only generic social media and banking apps, no jailbreak, hacks or any self installed third party apps except YMusic. Ran the Samsung Diagnostic app as well. No issues there.

I have a Samsung A 17 that i recently dropped into a pool then let it sit in a bag of rice over night and half the next day. it has turned on and is charging but the screen doesn't work, i plan to put it back into the rice after it hits like 60%, I can't shut it off or restart it as that requires me to touch the screen(to click restart after holding down the volume down and power button)

So it started a month ago, I have a Samsung a36 5G.

When I turn on my mobile data, it shows up for a second, then goes away, shows up for a few more seconds and goes away, this happens at an irregular rhythm. All while the setting of mobile data is still on btw. I can't make calls either, I have data in my provider as well. I have tried restarting my phone, even took out SIM and cleaned it but nothing worked please help

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with Smart View on my Samsung Galaxy A16.

When I try to connect to my TV (Samsung J5200), Smart View finds the TV immediately, but it gets stuck on "Connecting..." and never actually connects.

Also i noticed that red cast icon.

I've already tried:

Restarting the phone and TV

Connecting both devices to the same Wi-Fi network

Testing with two different TVs

Turning Smart View off and on again

The same issue happens with both TVs, so I'm starting to think the problem is with the phone.

Has anyone experienced this on a Galaxy A16 or other recent Samsung phones? Any fixes or compatibility issues I should know about?

Thanks!

System takes TOO much storage on my phone, how do i reduce it. It was full earlier, i just deleted some apps

I use a galaxy s24

Hello,

I have a Google Pixel 9 with Telus, it's about a year old. No issues until now.

Phone was working fine this morning, sent a text as normal at 8 AM. I went to send a text about 1.5 hours later and it wouldn't allow me, where the text bar is it says "Please insert a sim card to continue."

What is weird is that I can still access the internet with my data, still call and I can still receive texts, I just can't send them.

I went to Telus this evening and they replaced my sim card for me. This worked for about 2 hours until I went to send a text about 30 minutes ago and it said the same thing again, "Please insert a sim card to continue."

I've reset my networks, restarted the phone multiple times. I'm going to head back to Telus tomorrow, I just wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with this or has any ideas about what is going on. Thanks in advance!

I’m stuck in a really weird situation with my Google account.

• Storage shows 28.33 GB used out of 15 GB (188%)
• Gmail is completely blocked (can’t send/receive emails)
• It’s been like this for over 60 days

What I’ve already tried:

• Deleted ALL emails (Inbox, Spam, Trash — everything is empty)
• Cleared Google Drive completely (also emptied Bin)
• Deleted a lot from Google Photos
• Checked backups (Android + WhatsApp), but I don’t want to delete them since I need that data
• Waited days for storage to update — no change

The strange part:

• The drive storage page says, “No files are using storage.”
• But overall storage is still showing 28GB used

It appears to be hidden/ghost data or a bug.

I really need to fix this because:

• My main email is blocked
• I can’t recover my GitHub account without email access

Has anyone faced this before or knows what exactly is causing this and how to fix it without losing important backup data?

Any help would mean a lot. 🙏 Google storage is full, but no files are showing—Gmail is blocked. I've tried everything
