Daily Question: Is Wireless Charging an important feature for you? And whether or not it is important to you, I would be curious to learn if you use a wireless charger.
I'll start off! Wireless Charging is not an important feature to me because it generates too much heat for my liking. So no, I don't use a wireless charger at all. But I have thought about setting one up for my girlfriend to help her keep her phone charged
well, I guess it just means it is no perceived as having any updates. After you delete the update from what it persives as the standard system level app, it is not shown anymore. But... the thing does not work anymore on my XCover6 - which it utter rubbish. Only solution I guess from here is to jail break it and that usually comes with lots of issues with it.
@@Daisuki1417 I FEEL YOU!!!! And wonder if I should just go back to my LG V20, need some new screens but then I should be able to get 2 up and running again.
Thank you! This has helped me alot, I'm very disappointed at Google for removing this feature, this was the whole reason why I loved Android because it allowed people who where into tech or engineering to customize and explore everything it had to offer, even for simple stuff like modding a simple game like GTA san andreas, to emulating games to spoofing locations

It seems like we need another solution.... but I guess there is only jail breaking left at this point. Why did I ever update - I should have known better. XCover 6 Pro - And because Google forced the programmer to put the data into these folders, there is no access to my data to retrieve it. How am I do access my data? They are literally jailing the users data, they are evil, but I guess we already know that. I wanna go back to my LG V20, repair one of them and get back on Android 7.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra running Android 14. And my choice of file managers is Solid Explorer also. Just watched and tried the method you described.... and it worked! Thank you! 😊😅
I also use Solid Explorer (and several others) but after a Samsung System Update last week, this method no longer works at all. I repeated the uninstall to "files" today several times and that I longer has any effect.
@@michaelkelly7277 Hell! Google is starting to look very much like Apple. "Here's an update for your safety... BUT, YOU can no longer do this, or go here!" Most people whom uses tools etc to access these regions of their devices KNOW what they are doing. And do it for whatever reason. The average user have no idea about these areas of their devices.

DON'T UPDATE YOUR MOBILE IF IT STILL WORKS, YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL RUIN THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING THIS TRICK. AS I DID..... ARRRRGHHH, I guess there is no way around it, I will have to see if I can root the mobile. This just sucks. On the Samsung XCover 6 Pro Android 14, the latest updates ruined it.
So true, i have been working as a tech support knowing every detail to the phone but this was an insult to my skill and kinda frustrating to think people are calling us with the same issues and there are literally no effective workarounds available up to this day, Google indeed sucks!! And fvck i cant even mod games coz of this crap😅
On my gaming handheld android 13 and i dont have the 3 button option when opening under apps in my settings. Anyway around without root or pc access since i have dozens of mods and patches to install
I wanted your help for something, these days I went to install a GSI by fastboot, and at the time I went to apply the fastboot flash system command< instead of apparenting that it doesn't have space it says it doesn't have file or directory, what command can I use to solve this?
@@ExplainingAndroid Nice to know - called Samsung and chatted with them today about this rubbish. I am still like... Unlocking the boot loader is required correct? And then it apparently wanna make a full reset of the phone and the data.... rubbish.... I wonder how much data the samsung smart switch app actually saves.... Any gold nuggets?
So after the update when it now does not work to downgrade the files app - the version is 14-10586669 and I guess I can't uninstall and get an older better version.
pixel 7 with android 14 here,this didn't work.I uninstalled updates then tried to enter android/data with FX file explorer and access was still forbidden. Question: is it necessary to sideload the updated version of Files app?Isn't this updated from playstore on pixels? Thanks
that's very strange. I did this exact thing with my Pixel 7 Pro with Android 14 QPR1 beta 2 installed, and it worked just like it did with the Galaxy S23 in the video. I used Solid Explorer though. But I would assume FX would work just the same since it has that scoped storage workaround patch The files by google app is different than the AOSP files (file manager) app. you can use the app i show in this video to create a shortcut for it - th-cam.com/video/bG0yjXFFs84/w-d-xo.html then you can compare the UI of it with the UI of the 'files by google' app (which is updated from the play store) but I was unable to find a way to update the app without sideloading it (as I show in the video). I have read this issue was patched by google thanks to a Google Play System Update (october, or november) so it may not be updated once a month through there
@@ExplainingAndroid yes i did on the Files app not the Files by Google app.I have the latest november google play system update installed though.And the latest stable.I m also rooted.Or its an FX thing.I was actually always able to access obb with FX,even before the uninstall updates trick,but not the android data contents.Maybe someone with the same config can check
Was working for me in Solid Explorer (and FX, Cx, Mnn) until a security update from Samsung last week. I can no longer get it to work in any of those file managers, even after repeated uninstalls of updates to Files. My only access now is through Marc Files, or FV File Explorer, which simply provides a shortcut to the hidden android file manager.
Even the folders you gave permission.... is now just shown as empty.... It does not ask you of anything, but it just shows those folders to be empty...
i just bought new phone, infinix note 40 which release last month, didnt know anything about android file issue and im try to access data folder it work via shizuku but the is problem, im try to access the undawn garena toaa folder and no item/access denied and this phone dosent have old version file manager..
Samsung S20+, android 13. This workaround stopped working for me after a Samsung security update last week. I've tried repeating the procedure, but it no longer has any effect.
ATTENTION..... You can still access this area even after the latest updates. But now the only way is to connect your device to a Windows PC via the USB cable. Then access the Android data/obb folders.
For the most part it works on the Samsung XCover 6 but the overall nonsense of Google make me think of just going back to my LG V20 Android 7. Like after Android 14 update, so many more issues. Playstore now can't figure out how to give me an update list. And the ever ending sorting out issues and never really using you device.
Thank you for the video but you are 1 step ahead of where I can even navigate to. Using Cx File Explorer, I can see system>data, but nothing in their loads. I receive Loading Error Access Denied.
@michaelkelly7277 Use the FV File Explorer app, once installed inside, choose the "Files" option bottom right at the middle, and then multiple windows will Bob up select whatever you want to install in one window and then drag and drop then to the other second window (your desired game/app) Hope this helps!
@@mozar94 Thanks. I already have and occasionally use FV. Also use Marc Files, which, like FV, is simply a shortcut to the hidden android file manager. Just wanted to report here that this method of restoring access to Android/Data and obb by uninstalling updates to "files" no longer seems to be working for a lot of people. I suspect that recent android system/security updates have included a different way of blocking access to Android/Data.
This no longer works on my Samsung S20,android 13. Stopped working after a recent security update from Samsung, even after i repeated the process twice after the update. I'm guessing the update closed another door.

did you uninstall the updates for the files app (as shown in the video)? if so, then I'm not sure how to workaround it other than using a PC if you have a computer and a USB cable then you can access it from there
@@ExplainingAndroidI used my old phone and OTG adapter to see what can I do on my S21 FE 5G.I saw every file on my old phone.But when I tried to copy a file to data folder,it denied every time.I am stuck in it.Can you recommend me anyting?
