The “Lock App” function does not stop apps from being closed. I accidentally swipe apps up and close them all the time. I thought this feature would stop that. What’s the point of the button? OS: Android 13 ..read more

Weird issues with Galaxy A12

Sorry for my English, the problem is: I can't start or receive calls, (if I try to call it from a different phone, it sounds like its turned off) also can"t send text messages, BUT I can receive text messages and can use the mobile internet. Signal strength looks fine, and I tested the SIM card in an other phone and works flawlessly so I dont think its a service issue. Is this maybe some settings thing and the phone is limited in some way because of that (I could not find any settings related to this, but that might be just me) or is this some bigger problem (maybe hardvare)?

Motorola Phone Booting and freezing issues

I have a Motorola G8 Power Lite that's around 4 years old. Recently it has started randomly freezing and going into a repeated bootloop before eventually settling down and working ok until the next time it happens. I have done tests via USB from a laptop to check for hardware issues but have found nothing. I can only guess that it's a software issue of some kind. I have done 2 factory resets to try to clear the problem without success. First time it seemed to work until I began reinstalling apps then the problems returned so I did a second reset. However this time I didn't even get as far as ..read more

What are the requirements for Google Call Screening?

I recently have tried installing the google phone app on some Samsung phones for someone for the call screening feature. When doing some test calls I noticed that the screen call option never appeared and there were no option available for it in the app at all. I did some searching and it looked like the phone had to come with the google phone app preinstalled for that feature to work. I recently acquired some Nokia phones that came with the google phone app preinstalled but those don't appear to have the call screening feature as well. So now I'm confused as what the requirements are for a de ..read more

Unlock SIM card

Have Cricket wireless and am planning on switching to Consumer Cellular. I had a LG Harmony which gave me internet issues. Cricket had sent me a sim card to see if that would help and it didn’t. I purchased an unlocked Moto G Player 2021, inserted the sim card from Cricket and it worked fine. Well now that I want to switch I spent 4 hours on with Cricket attempting to get my phone unlocked with no success. I was not aware the carrier can lock an unlocked phone. I cannot afford to get another phone so I need to unlock this one. Can anyone help me? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated ..read more

Bent charging cable, now won't fully charge

I unfortunately bent the only cable socket on my android phone, a micro-B one. Not knowing it was bent I pushed forward hard with a single non-muscular arm; I did--not--go backward to put all my weight on neither used any tool to increase the force. I used a mini-screwdriver kit the one with the thinnest flat head to shim and after slightly prying, I used a slightly thicker head to pry even more, still not a lot. I still couldn't plug in it, so I used toothpick to pry and I had to do so somewhat hard to finally make enough space for the plug to get in. It was at ~15% battery, I then charged f ..read more
