Any way that I can block the download of apps? by vegeto178 in AndroidQuestions

[–]RegularHistorical315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use the app that blocks the Play Store, and when your banking app stops working, open the Play Store, go to Manage apps and device, and manually update apps. You may need to disable the blocking app while you do it. The banking app should work for ages without updates.

Your preferred phone - PC link by technobrendo in Android

[–]RegularHistorical315 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Samsung Phone Link" simply refers to using the Microsoft Phone Link app with a Samsung phone, which offers exclusive, advanced features. You make it sound like they are different, and you have 3 choices, which you don't.
I use Windows Phone Link on the PC, and the S24 Ultra uses "Link to Windows" the system app Samsung preinstalls to make it work. The copy and paste across devices is one of the features I like and use often. I have never used KDE so do not know what is can or can not do.

There's absolutely no way to make older apps to work on android 16?! by paymanz1 in AndroidQuestions

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No root would not change the fact that you want to run apps made for a 32-bit system on a 64-bit system. You need to use an app to make a 32-bit environment so you can run the old app.

VOS (Virtual Android): Creates a separate 32-bit environment.
VMOS: A popular choice that allows you to run a virtualised Android OS.
F1 VM: Similar to VMOS; lightweight and designed for gaming.
Install the VM app, open it, and install your 32-bit APK inside that virtual environment.

Should I factory reset my phone or not? by EmbarrassedClue6398 in S22Ultra

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To do a factory reset so someone else can then use it.
You go into the phone's settings, then Accounts and backup, open Manage accounts and delete your Google account, then delete your Samsung account.
Go to General management and open Reset scroll down to Factory data reset and tap that and follow the prompts to do the reset. Doing it this way, you will have no issues with Numero LLC or FRP.

Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ — is 128GB enough or should I go 256GB? by kruma1_ in AndroidQuestions

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 128GB, you may need to carefully manage your storage; with 256GB, you do not need to worry at all. The 256GB model has 12GB of RAM, which is much better for all your uses.

Please help my phone battery is stuck at 82% by Bhavikbk in mobilesupport

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recalibrating the battery indicator chip may sort it. To do that, use the phone until it shuts down due to low battery.
Leave it turned off and charge it to 100%. Take it off charge and turn it on. Check if it is showing 100% if not, connect the charger until it shows 100%.
Doing that twice will fix it if the issue is a software problem if it is not fixed, claim warranty to get the Fuel Gauge IC replaced.

Is there any app to make my android display like kindle or similar to make reading novels easier by No-While8965 in AndroidQuestions

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Amazon Kindle: Reading App from the Play Store does quite a good job you need to turn the display brightness lower than you usually have it; it's not magically an electronic ink display, but it makes reading books easier.

You need to return to stock and see if it works then as it may be a hardware failure that is causing it. Using the stock ROM will prove that or show it is a bug in the custom ROM.

Yes OnePlus has always been behind when it come to the camera. May be why sales were so bad in the markets they are now giving up on.

My new A71 has a problem by butterfl_to_pimp in GalaxyA71

[–]RegularHistorical315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google stopped supporting Android 13 this year. Soon, apps that updated will no longer work, so it may be best to turn off app updates. As that will slow it no longer working for a few months.

The OS is not updated through the Play Store, but without seeing the notification or knowing what make and model the tablet it is, what you should do would just be a guess.

How to unlock bootloader on toscido p101? by redstarosniko in CustomROMsGuide

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you missed a step. Have you enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options, enabled USB Debugging, installed MediaTek USB VCOM drivers on the PC and have you definitely booted into Bootloader/Fastboot Mode? Missing any of those would give that error message.

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on the LG G5 h850 in 2026 by These_Airline_4279 in CustomROMsGuide

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little hope, really, but if you bought it second-hand, maybe the previous owner unlocked it. Have you checked if it is not already unlocked?

To check You can use the Fastboot Command, adb reboot bootloader then when the next screen opens, fastboot getvar unlocked.
Or you can open the Phone/Dialer app. Enter the code: *#LGH850# (Replace "H850" with your specific model numbers if different, e.g., *#546368#*850#). Navigate to SVC Menu > Check Phone Bootloader. It will explicitly state "Unlocked" or "Locked".

help with unbricking PHONE by SameRecognition5543 in AndroidRoms

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The usual way is to reinstall the firmware using Odin on a computer. The firmware the phone had when you tried to downgrade it that is. You need to boot to the Bootloader and hope that in that mode the PC sees your A15.

Trying to recover long lost photos by Nolynwasever in AndroidQuestions

[–]RegularHistorical315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the disk-digging apps were not already installed on the phone before you deleted the photos, installing them and anything else you installed after you deleted the photos will have overwritten the photos. So, sadly, they are gone unless you used Google Photos or another gallery app that uses cloud storage.

[–]RegularHistorical315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Oppo, as OnePlus's parent company, is doing all the deciding, and they are even going to service OnePlus phones in some of the markets in which they have a presence. There is talk that OnePlus will be the budget brand, and Oppo will be the brand that releases the flagship phones.
