If there was no such feature as "ADB Backup is blocked from access app data if app opts out", then no app would be able to use it against consumer, apparently.

Same if there was no screenshot blocking to begin with. How could any app use the Flag_Secure if those who are in charge did not develop this flag initially?

My mom has an old LG Harmony 4 phone, which is showing its age. We are looking for a new one, but she wants a specific feature that we can't seem to find on newer phones.

The Harmony can read out who is calling or texting, so it'll say "new message from husband" or "call from 555-555-5555". She loves this feature, since she knows if she needs to check it immediately or can ignore it, without having to look at it. I think the setting is called "Messaging/call voice notification".

We were going to get her a Moto g stylus 2025 (since the rest of the family has Motorola phones, and we can help her learn the new interface), but can't find a comparable setting. A Samsung Galaxy A16 or A17 is also an option, but no one else in the family could help her with the menus.

Does anyone know where if could be hiding? We've tried looking in accessibility, notifications, and the phone app settings.

We're getting kinda desperate for an option. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all!

The grandmother of my wife has smartphone issues.

Everything goes too fast and now she has 4 cleaner app, multiple navigation apps etc.

Is there a simple way to disable/lock/prevent this?

We've looked online and saw that there is a app lock? (Third party app)

Also, she is very stubborn and Google Family Link is no option because all of her sons who help her have iPhones

I thought I could ask Reddit for some advice :)

so my phone doesnt react when my headphones are connected. they have a 3.5mm plug thats connected with a 3.5mm to USB converter cable (by ugreen so not some hacky knockoff)

90% of the time when my display is turned off and I want to use the power button or the fingerprint sensor to unlock my phone it just doesnt react for like 30ish seconds. when I go with the power button it reacts 30 seconds later. anything else is working perfectly.

phone is the Poco X6 Pro 5G with latest HyperOS (3.0.9)

anybody got an idea?

So i was installing a game but while in that process my phone screen turned off and then when i turned it on it said there was a problem parsing the package now the game is not being shown but i think it is partially installed because 4 gb is taken even though there is nothing in home screen.

I've been looking into the OPPO Find X10 and wanted to learn more about how it compares with other Android phones, especially when it comes to everyday software experience.

The upgrade to the phone's camera pixels looks pretty appealing. But I'd be interested in how consistently the camera performs in everyday situations, especially indoors and in low light. Also, I'd like to know how the battery holds up with normal use, including navigation, camera use, social media, and background apps.

The part I'm most curious about is ColorOS. How does ColorOS handle notifications, background apps, battery optimization, and multitasking? Are there any settings that new users should know about?

I'm also interested in software updates and long-term reliability. Hardware specifications are important, but I'd want to know what using the phone is actually like after several months.

I'd appreciate practical feedback. Thanks!

Hi! I've noticed that, on my Android 16 device, notifications keep disappearing once 3 days have gone by.

For example, a messaging app; if I have a total of 10 notifications, if 3 of them go 3 days without being open, it'll drop to 7. It's extremely annoying.

I've only found a single post on Reddit mentioning this. Does anyone know if it can be solved?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy TAB A7 of 32 gb storage Byju's tablet running Android 12 with 3GB RAM (2GB virtual RAM now, can go to 4GB) and a big 7040mAh battery. I don't watch movies or anime, and it has parental restrictions, so no banking or payment stuff.

How do I get reliable push notifications (WhatsApp, Discord, Gmail) on a Redmi K90 running HyperOS 4 China ROM without ro\*ot?
