If nothing works
Do not factory-reset first. Back the phone or PC up and write down the Google or Microsoft account. Hardware faults (charge port, digitizer, keyboard) belong in an authorised shop. Roadside “IMEI repair” and random flashing usually make the device worse.
Do this in order
Start with Take a normal screenshot (Power + Volume Down on most phones), then Tap Scroll, Capture more, or the downward arrow in the toolbar. Skipping ahead to a factory reset wipes WhatsApp, photos, and school files you cannot get back from a Kantamanto stall.
If only one app misbehaves, stay inside that app’s settings. If many apps fail after a cheap charger, heat, or a “cleaner” APK, treat it as a system problem. Back up first. Authorised service beats roadside flashing.
If you only remember three things from this page, make them Take a normal screenshot (Power + Volume Down on most phones), Tap Scroll, Capture more, or the downward arrow in the toolbar, and Keep tapping until the page ends or you have enough. Write them on your phone before you factory-reset.
Extra checks
Will a “phone doctor” kiosk fix it faster?
Sometimes for a charge port. Often they flash unofficial software and you lose the Google account. Try Take a normal screenshot (Power + Volume Down on most phones) first. Back up before anyone wipes the device.
Safe to install a random APK that “repairs” this?
No. If Play Store cannot install it, that is a signal. Sideload only when you trust the file, and never from a WhatsApp blast.
