How do I fix this?

My phone has started saying I am apart of an organisation and not allowing me to change certian features

All the fixes I have seen online have not helped, for example looking at the chrome://policy, I was unsure what any of it meant and I am unsure what to do

I can provide more information if needed

My phone is a Samsung S25 FE and it is up to date as I updated it yesterday

Can I retrieve lock screen password from connected tablet?

I reset my phone lock screen password and apparently typed it in wrong. I just realized my tablet is hooked up to my phone as well. They share notes through the notes app at least. Is there any way for me to change my phone's password using my tablet?

My phone suddenly turned off saying corrupted

I was sleeping it was around 3am, my Xiaomi Reddit 14C, switched off with a vibration, I woke up thought it had ran out of battery and I plugged it in the charger,

It turned on but turned off again, i was scared, I looked closely and saw a error message saying,

"device has been corrupted and wont work properly, press power button or it will off in 5s"

I pressed power and after a long time, it turned on, I instantly went to do the security scan thingy, it showed everything is fine. The device looks pretty fine on the outside, I posted this with the same device (3:39am).

Should I take any actions or wait to see if anything happens?

Can't text my grandmother

Alright. My phone (Android 11(no I will not be upgrading, my Pixel 2 xl is still fine (yes I have ADHD how did you know!?))) will not let me send her messages, but she can text me. All I get is "not sent. Check options". I have:

Turned on and off airplane mode.

Turned RCS off and back on.

Restarted the phone

Deleted her contact and message thread completely, restarted thee phone, then re created her contact.

Reset network settings.

Force stopped the app and cleared the cache.

Restarted the phone again just to make sure.

Are there any other things y'all can think of? I have sent test texts to everyone else in my contact list. Many of which have newer phones then her's so I don't think it's a phone age thing either.

Need your honest opinion

Is it possible for someone to put a malware (RAT) in our devices (phones and laptop) without them getting physically close to us or our devices and sending us links or files to download? Like remotely putting a malware (RAT)?

is there a way to get rid of them? Can they also see what you are doing when your phone is offline? is factory reset enough or should just buy a new one? The thought of someone being able to see what I am doing in my phone is bothering since I value my privacy.

UI Help - Icon Names, Size & Location

I'm new to Android and don't know the terminology yet, so please forgive my newbieness. There are 4 icons in the lower right corner of my Galaxy A11 tablet. I know what they do, but I'd like to know what each of them is named. I'd also like to know if I can move them and/or change their size. I have lousy eyesight and can't easily locate them when I need to. TIA for any help.

I have changed the name on all of my google accounts, however the name shown in settings/about phone doesn't appear to have an option to change it.

Can't must specific messages on the app

Just got a new phone and I assume they updated their messages, prior to this I could hold on a conversation and select snooze. Now that option is gone here and I can't do it from the app settings, I'm really hoping that there's a way to fix this because I don't want to keep do not disturb on because there are still messages I want to view as soon as I get them.

Newest update. Majority of text is now blue.

Any idea how can I revert this change. It's difficult to read on a black background.

Mom's phone has 2 Settings apps in the app menu.

She downloaded some cleaner app in the Google Play store and when I was going through the Apps menu in Settings I noticed 2 different Settings apps, one of which has an icon in the bottom corner that I can't quite make out. They both have the same options when I open the Settings app menu. I'm not tech savvy at all, but this looks bad to me. I've never seen that before. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it?

Help. Two folders, I wanna get rid of the first one.

I didn't wanna make two TikTok folders. I genuinely meant for one. The one on the top is literally bugging my files.

[HELP] Disabling power button entirely or restart/shutdown menu

I have a problem of heavy sleeping and thus, waking up early is nearly impossible for me. I downloaded an app called I Can't Wake Up. It worked really well because of its shutdown prevention feature that was 10x better than Alarmy.

But now my bum phone gives my sleepy zombie self enough time to power off the mobile phone before the menu disappears.

I want to disable the power button or atleast clear the menu as such.

Would literally turn my life around. Please help if you know the workaround.

EDIT: u/roirraWedorehT to the rescue!!!!! I used the app he told me and now I can't toggle the power off menu fast enough due to double layer prevention.

Is this malware of some kind?

It locks me out from accessing my phone, and disables my ability to screenshot. I literally had to take a photo with a second phone. How do I get rid of this? I haven't downloaded anything sketchy at all.

My mum's WhatsApp is glitching

It started out of the blue and has been persistent for a few days.

I've tried clearing cache, restarting the tablet and force stopping and restarting the app.

I can get in via message notifications but only to that specific chat, I can't go back into the home screen because it glitches again.

It's handling incoming calls as normal.

version is 2.26.24.80

android 11 (latest software available for this tablet)

Any suggestions would be appreciated:)
