Just ran Malwarebytes. No threats detected. What about android device policy app? Can it be set up to spy?

Thank you all for the responses. To be clear, the device is actually mine, and I want to make sure others who use it don't install any Spyware. I don't want to factory reset or anything, I just would like to check for any of this potential Spyware just to be sure. Also, the others who use my...

Hello all, I am using a shared android device for work purposes. Without factory resetting, is there any way I can scan for and be assured that there are no secret or hidden apps or settings that are taking screenshots or otherwise recording my keystrokes or anything else I do to the device's...

Thanks but this didn't work

Moto stylus

the only other app is Microsoft onedrive, which is logged into a different account. I tried to close both apps, delete cache and storage, remove the account from settings, and go to airplane mode then back. As soon as i open up excel, it logs me right back in. How does it know to do that?

Hey all, I am using Microsoft Excel on an Android phone. When i sign out of Excel and go back to the app, it automatically signs back in without asking for my email and password. I tried everything to stay signed out. I deleted the account from settings, i deleted the app cache and storage...

Hello all. I am using a Samsung galaxy a14. When I use Chrome, I go to a site that uses a Javascript timer. When I switch tabs to another site, the timer stops. It only continues to count down if I have the tab actively open on the screen. Is there any way to fix this? I would like to keep...

I bought a Samsung Galaxy a14 and I forgot the pin number. Unfortunately when I got the phone I made a dummy Google account/Samsung account that I can't remember. So, when I reset the phone to factory settings, it asks for my Google account, which I also forgot. Is there any way that I can...

Thanks for the responses. For unfortunate reasons I haven't used smartphones since the original Motorola droid over a decade ago. I'm very disappointed with the progress of Android. I always thought after all these years it would be so fast, intuitive, and seamless. Instead, I see...

Hello all, I have a moto g 5g (2023) with Android 14. When I use Chrome, if I switch apps and come back to Chrome, my tabs all refresh automatically. Also, this seems to happen when I switch to other apps besides Chrome. The apps reset/reload when I switch to a different app then back again...

Thank you all for the help!! Basically, the ffmpeg app will convert at about 10x speed for quite some time, then randomly and inexplicably slow down to 4x or 5x speed (video conversion speed). All other factors remain the same. For example, I haven't opened any new apps, and the input videos...

Thanks for the response! That is the app. The phone doesn't get warm. I am not knowledgeable with Android. Is there anything simple I can do, such as settings or another app that will make sure the app runs using full hardware potential? It is not slow, but I'm simply looking for the best...

Hello all, I have a cheap prepaid Moto G 5G (2022) phone. I want to convert videos using an app called ffmpeg. When I start using the app, it seems that it runs fast, but for some reason it randomly slows down. It is as though the speed is throttled. My goal is to run the app as fast as my...
