My elderly mother is very confused by the android updates using AI to reduce mobile scams. How do I reverse the changes for her?

0 Upvotes

She’s not able to use her phone right now. Change can be very hard for people in their 80s. Unfortunately, I am trying to help her over the phone while she’s in a full panic. I’m not with her and it doesn’t help that I’m an Apple user. Any help or advice you can give me would be appreciated.

Virus pop up, only on YouTube

1 Upvotes

I got an email from a friend who was mailing me something and sent me a copy of a USPS label to save, when I clicked on it to enlarge it a pop-up appeared to said I didn't have a fresh enough PDF app to read it and when I went to download a new app for PDF, a virus took over the phone and I had to go to safe mode and then go in and remove the malicious application. However now whenever I open my YouTube, those ads keep popping up inviting me to refresh renew an old version of PDF or barcode or something of that nature. How can I get rid of this? It's only on YouTube, they don't pop up anywhere else that I know of.

Other How can I flash a stock ROM on my Honor phone after a bad update?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need help finding a way to flash a clean stock ROM on my HONOR phone.

An update was interrupted, and now my phone keeps restarting and lockscreen issues. I’ve already tried a factory reset, but it didn’t fix the problem. Based on my analysis of the bug report, I suspect that reflashing the ROM might solve the issue.

Since I’m using the Chinese variant, the official service centers in my region won’t support my specific model. So, I want to try reinstalling the software myself.

Does anyone know the proper method to force-flash the stock ROM on an HONOR phone? Is there any tool or workaround that would let me do this without taking it to a repair shop?

Thanks in advance!

Is there an Android MDM that can prevent users from changing permissions settings for a specific app?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently using ManageEngine MDM. But all I can see are options to stop specific app uninstalls, clearing data and force stopping them. Users can still manage notifications or permissions for the apps, though.

Looking For Suggestions To Beta or Not To Beta?

2 Upvotes

I've always beta'd.
The only problem I ever had was that one or two of my banking apps wouldn't recognize the OS so wouldn't load. But that was years ago, too. No other problems.

I had a P10P on beta.
Traded it in on a new P10P (free, switched carriers....) and now I'm wondering if it's even fun anymore?

Thoughts?

Device Settings Question Android 17 (Nothing OS 5.0). Anyone worked out how to revert to the default Clock app screensaver when charging?

2 Upvotes

For some reason the huge, bright, screen-burning main clock screensaver has replaced the smaller, dimmer, more appropriate version from the Clock app.

I have tried switching off the main screensaver but can only get the Clock app screensaver on by manually activating it.

I used this as an overnight clock whilst charging overnight. Any ideas?

Device Settings Question How to disable "swipe down on notification = floating window"?

2 Upvotes

I have a OnePlus Open. I enabled this feature a while back but can't for the life of me figure out how to disable it. It is so annoying! I've tried searching for it and no one seems to have an answer either. I've tried to disable anything to do with floating windows and it keeps happening!

Thanks in advance, all!

Local music player apps with big grid layouts

2 Upvotes

I have quite a bit of albums downloaded and scrolling through them can be a bit annoying sometimes since I have so many albums downloaded so I was wondering are there music players out there they have big grid type layouts? I use musicolet and their grid limit is 5 so I'd prefer to find an app that offers more.
