App Specific Question Why can't I export a data file from my oximeter app?

• Upvotes

I recorded my oxygen levels last night. I uploaded the data from the oximeter to an Android phone (the only way to access the data.) The app will export the summary, a PDF, to the Downloads directory, but not the full data, which is either CSV or SPO2. Files by Google reports 'We can't save this file' but won't say why. Other methods of export also fail. The manufacturer hasn't gotten back to me. The phone has 100 GB empty storage so it's not size. I made a short file, a few minutes, have the same experience. It's an Emaycare SleepO2. They haven't answered me. They made a mistake on a previous question so I don't expect them to help.

Device Settings Question Honor 200 (Chinese Variant): Mobile data works, but calls stopped suddenly

1 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I am using a Chinese variant of the Honor 200 with Google services enabled. Everything was working fine for months, but suddenly for the last 3-4 days:

Mobile data (Internet) is working normally.

Incoming and outgoing calls are completely not working.

I already tried restarting and re-inserting the SIM. Is this a known issue with Chinese ROMs/MagicOS, or how can I fix this? Any help would be appreciated!

Looking For Suggestions Trying to extract 100gb+ file but MTP file system is painful.

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a 100 GB file on my phone, and I want to open it and extract its contents directly to my hard drive without copying the file to my computer first.

When I connect my phone via USB, it mounts as MTP. Whenever I try to open the archive, my file manager automatically copies the entire file to a temp folder first before trying to extract it, which is painfully slow. Is there any way around this? I'm open to any suggestions.

Phone OS: Android 16

OS: Linux

Device Settings Question Can i still use my old tablet in 2026 ?

0 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm on the right subreddit, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I found my old tablet (hp slate 7 plus) from 2013/2014 and decided to turn it on again. I wanted to access the Play Store, but it doesn't seem to work. Even though I'm connected to Wi-Fi, I can't sign in to my Google account.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or does someone have an alternative ?

The android version is 4.2.2

Thanks in advance!

(sorry for my poor english)

Device Settings Question Google Photos Setup

2 Upvotes

Just switched to Samsung from IPhone and looking for a bit of advice in regards to the Samsung photos / Google photos intergration.

Ive currently got it setup as a one way upload - so if I take a photo it saves to Samsung photos as standard, but then uploads a original quality backup to Google Photos (cloud) . This seems to work work and allows me to delete photos from my Samsung gallery to clear space, whilst keeping a backup on Google photos.

I'm aware I can integrate it further as a two way link, so Google photos and Samsung gallery are fully linked. So If I delete from either it removes the photo permanently.

I'm preferring the one way Backup method I'm currently using, but it keeps recommending to turn the sync photos setting on as if it's a better method...

Which method should I use? Is there a risk to the method I'm using, and should I switch to the two way sync?

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something key

Other Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ 5G (SM-X828U) locked to AT&T after factory reset. Can third-party unlock services bypass an unpaid installment balance?

0 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a Galaxy Tab S10+ 5G (SM-X828U). It worked fine on the previous owner's T-Mobile SIM before being factory reset and shipped to me, but now it's asking for a network unlock code.

Checking the IMEI on AT&T's portal shows it's blocked due to an active installment plan balance.

The tablet works normally on Wi-Fi, but I can't use my T-Mobile SIM because of the AT&T lock.

The IMEI is clean (not reported lost or stolen).

Question: Since AT&T's official portal blocks the unlock due to the unpaid balance, can a paid third-party IMEI network unlock service successfully provide a permanent unlock code for this device, or will the unpaid balance block third-party codes as well?

Thanks for any help!

My samsung a55 has been connecting to my WiFi for 1 min then it disconnects and remains disconnected. I tried reseting my system settings, I tried to boot it in safe mode in case it was a problem from an app, and I even tweaked with my router but the problem still remains. Other devices at home can connect and work normally I honestly have no idea what to do next.

I was wondering are there Music Players out there that have Big Grid and Big Album Artwork Type Layouts? I'm currently using The Musicolet Music Player App For Android but The Album Artwork Isn't big enough for me. The Musicolet Album Artwork/Grid Layout Limit is only 5. So I'd prefer to find an app that offers a lot more. If I could some suggestions I would really appreciate it. I like my Album Artwork to be as Big and as Huge as possible.

How can I completely clean up my Android phone and make it feel brand new without a factory reset?

6 Upvotes

I’m looking for an effective way to give my Android phone completely fresh start without actually performing a factory reset.

I want to clean up the entire phone as much as possible, including hidden junk, leftover files, empty folders, unnecessary storage usage, app caches, and accumulated app data. Basically, I want my phone to feel like I’ve just started using it, without losing my personal files or reinstalling all my apps.

Here’s what I want to achieve:

Clear all app caches in bulk instead of opening each app individually.

Clean empty and unnecessary folders, including leftover folders from previously uninstalled apps.

Remove junk and residual files, duplicate files, temporary files, obsolete downloads, and unnecessary storage clutter.

Free up unwanted storage occupied by hidden files, app leftovers, and other unnecessary data.

Reset apps to a fresh state by clearing their data and settings wherever possible, without uninstalling them.

Clean up internal storage and identify files that are safe to delete.

Reduce unnecessary background clutter and improve overall phone performance.

Preserve personal files such as photos, videos, documents, contacts, WhatsApp data, and other important information.

Avoid a factory reset, unlocking the bootloader, or manually reinstalling every app.

Questions:

Is there a reliable way to perform a deep cleanup of Android in one go?

Can ADB commands, Shizuku, or a PC-based tool safely clean caches, empty folders, residual files, and unwanted storage in bulk?

Is there any way to reset all apps to their default state without uninstalling them?

Which trustworthy tools can scan internal storage and identify genuinely unnecessary files and folders?

Are there any advanced methods that achieve a near-factory-fresh experience without erasing personal data?

Most issues or fixes, etc I've found online but I have one idk how to word it in order to search the internet for. Maybe yall can help...

Poor battery performance on OnePlus 13R

1 Upvotes

I am currently having very poor battery performance and am not sure why. I have auto adjust refresh rate and auto brightness etc. On a normal day like today I have only got 2h48m of SOT for 70% battery consumption (I only charge my phone to 85%). I do also listen to music for a decent amount of time on Spotify but my Spotify only has a stated consumption of 78mAh (fire and background). My top consuming app tiktok says it has consumed 668mAh total and adding up all the apps with more than 3% battery consumption ratio only totals 1626mAh (back and foreground). This seems very low and I don't even think my usage is ridiculously high. I do have the partial always on screen enabled. My battery health maximum capacity is still 100% according to my battery health statistics. I just don't see how my 6000mAh battery is doing so badly. One red flag could be that my screen off (active) time is very similar to screen o. In summation over the course of 9 hours (9:00-18:00) I have just under 3 hours screen on active and 3 hours screen off active and this has drained my battery by about 75%.

Rooting Help Can Pixel 7s currently be rooted while keeping banking access?

1 Upvotes

Is there currently a way to root Pixel 7s while still being able to access banking apps?

Main reasons I want to have root are for ad blocking, call recording, and just to have it in case I need root access for a feature I'd like to add in the future

One of the first guides I came across while searching recently says to do KernelSU-Next + SuSFS + Specter. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

It's been years since I rooted a device, so I'm very out of touch with how it works now. I'm about to switch to a Pixel 7, so I figured I'd try to do it now before setting the phone up, as I recall rooting used to wipe your phone. I just installed OrangeFox recovery, and was going to try to root next, but realized there seem to be many different methods, and a lot of warnings about banking apps and stuff not working

[Question] Can I remap a volume button to "Back" and completely disable the native back gesture/on-screen button?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I'm trying to set up a navigation style on my POCO X8 Pro and could use some help.

​I want to remap one of my physical volume buttons to act as the "Back" function. However, the catch is that I want to completely remove all native back navigation from the screen itself. I don't want the virtual back button showing up at the bottom, and I also want to completely disable the swipe-from-the-edge back gesture.

​Basically, I want the physical volume button to be the absolute only way to go back, with zero screen-based back navigation active.

​Does anyone know if this is achievable in HyperOS? If not natively, is there a specific app or ADB command workaround that lets me disable the system back gestures/buttons while keeping a remapped physical button working? Thanks!

How can I flash firmware on an s24+?

0 Upvotes

Are there any recommended guides on flashing firmware to an s24+? I bought the phone refurbished and it turns out the phone is on the Canadian firmware version. I have the phone using a SIM from a US cell network (consumer cellular) and I'm struggling to get wifi calling working on it. I've tried calling CC to have them enable it remotely, gone through the phone settings, and tried to force it with activity launcher, VPN into the US but it still isn't able to place calls. I'm not currently in the US or Canada so wifi calling would be the only way I can makes US based calls. Current model is SM-S926W and I want to flash SM-S926U1

Help with media app issue

Hi all I have been loving my Unihertz Titan 2 Elite and it is my primary cell phone coming from an iphone. I will preface this by saying that I am very unfamiliar with Android phones. My media apps turn off after about 15 minutes of playback. I've tried all different battery settings to ensure that they can run in the background etc. Does anyone have any helpful thoughts on how I can resolve this?
