Ive done a few searches and found a bit of info but I have not found a way to get my "hotspot" to work. My phone is not rooted. I have an unlimited data with VZ. I do not wish to "donate" more $ to VZ as they have already raised my rates....I suppose to try to get me to quit my unlimited data...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I can't allow permission to my apps because it says there is a screen overlay but i don't know what it is and i dont knowhow to turn it off please help

My Samsung Galaxy S6 Wi-Fi option does not turn on. It used to work fine before. But now, i will be connected to a wifi network and then my phone will turn off its Wi-Fi. I try to turn it back on but it wont allow me. The problem isnt Wi-Fi networks, its the Wi-Fi option itself. I press to turn it on and it says "Turning on..." but nothing appears and it turns back off again. HELP!

So. I own Alcatel One Touch, Android Version 5.1 (Lollipop), Kernel 3.10.72
I downloaded Pokemon Go just to check it out.
I enabled "Location", I enabled Wi-Fi, I disabled "Mock Location".
"Apps" says that Pokemon Go has rights to localization.
I enabled high-accuracy tracking. I enabled Google Maps in background (don't ask).
I tried disabling and then disabling GPS/tracking/connectivity etc.
I tried restarting and reinstalling. I have activated account.
My sister who is next to me owns older Android, and she apparently can play.
But I can't.

Could someone help me out? (please don't quote other websites, they all copy one another, at total there are 5 possible things I could've uniquely tried, and they all failed).

May someone be willing to assist me in this problem?

Over the past few weeks, my Samsung Galaxy S3 has rebooted spontaneously now and then. I also kept getting the "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" error.

One day about a week ago I went to set the alarm and realised that all my saved alarms had suddenly gone. I hadn't deleted them.

Today it rebooted again, but this time it was different: upon restart it was back to an older Android version and gave me tips on how to swipe up and down and use the menu etc., as if it was the first time I switched it on!

The following is still there:

- Messages, including message threads I know for a fact I deleted ages ago, but also messages from today
- Photos
- Music files

The following is missing:

- Contacts, apart from Google contacts
- All apps
- Play Store

As I only have the default Internet browser on the phone now, I couldn't fetch the Play Store directly. I downloaded the app via laptop and transferred it to the phone via USB cable. Tried to install (thankfully I could find it in My Files which was on the home screen), but was given a number of error messages that I couldn't read. Clicking them just opened a blank screen.

Once the Play Store icon appeared on the home screen, I tried opening it from there, but was asked to choose a Google account. I chose one of the two it offered me (both belong to me), but the screen flashed and once again it asked me to choose between the two. No matter which one I chose, the screen flickered and I was asked to choose an account. There's no way I could get past that screen.

I went to the app/widget screen and pressed the button in the bottom left corner. That gave me a menu in which I could choose Play Store, but clicking it doesn't work. Nothing happens.

I have a Google search bar on the home screen, but I also can't click that. It just doesn't work. Voice control is on, but also not working.

I've checked for any updates, and it says there aren't any.

I'm stuck now, running out of ideas on what to do - I don't seem able to get any apps back, and I can't update to a newer version of Android, so I'm guessing a factory reset is genuinely the only way out here.

I'm not too keen on it as I can't seem to find a way to backup my text messages without using any form of app - and I don't have any that can do that, and of course also can't download any...

Does anyone have any other ideas? Is there perhaps something I haven't thought about?

I've run this past a few friends, but no one seems to have heard of an S3 crashing this spectacularly. Some suggested it might be proper dead. It's from 2013 btw.

Help is much appreciated.

This just started today. No problems before.

Evan Blass (EV Leaks) has said Android Nougat is coming much sooner than android versions usually come - two months earlier. Let's see if this holds true.

My Galaxy S6 has always worked fine. Recently, I had an issue with the Wi-Fi. I will be connected to my home internet with no issues, then the Wi-Fi will turn off automatically. I keep trying to turn it back on, but it won't. This bothers me since I do not want to use up all of my data when I have Wi-Fi networks at my reach. What is wrong with my phone?!

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7. According to various articles I have found online, I should be able to go into my Camera settings and set up voice control so it will take a picture when I say "Cheese" or "Smile." I was able to do this with my Galaxy S4. But on the S7 it is no longer an option - it is just not available in the Camera settings. The Verizon store people were unable to help.
