[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CiriousJoker:
Not gonna get a PX5 because I'm extremely happy with my Pixel 4 XL, however:

- Bigger battery for sure. I don't run into a lot of issues with this one, but 10% more would go a long way

- Start at 128gb storage. 64 is doable but requires attention sometimes, especially with backups

- Wide angle instead of zoom camera

- Keep Solid and expand on its use cases. Especially something like Zoom and rotate gestures in Google Maps would be sick while driving. If this was actually expanded on, you could swipe down to switch which app (Spotify or maps) would get the current gesture. Since this can be upgraded with software, I'm hoping I also get the benefit of this. Please don't give up on it so quickly!

- A functional recovery. I don't expect TWRP out of the box, but the stock recovery should at least *work*. I can't flash zip files and I can't access files via USB and ADB is crippled to the max...

- I prefer the really good bottom speakers over front facing ones

- Keep the weird design for sure

- I love the orange power button in combination with the black dbrand skin

- Skip the fingerprint sensor to save cost if it helps

TLDR:

Bigger batter, more storage, keep soli, fix recovery, keep design

Can't believe I have to say this but what I want to see for Pixel 5 is an XL version ??
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootax:
I hope the pixel 5 won't be approx 6.6 inchs, it's way too big. The 4a is nice under 6', I hope the 5 will be 6.4 top, or less.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Rumor has it now that the 5 is going to be selling for 700 bucks. Not kidding. That is a seriously compromised phone for 700, that's what I get out of it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
That's nothing new:

https://9to5google.com/2020/05/18/google-pixel-4a-survey/

What I get out of it is they realize they can't hang with the $799+ phones and they're making a more reasonably priced one. Honestly the Pixel 4 should've started at that price. Price wise it'll be competitive with OnePlus non-pro but hardware I'm sure will be a step down. And for the average consumer that's pretty fine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Very true! I wonder why can't they just produce a limited amount of pixel 5 premium phones with sd865 as well and price it accordingly. This will give users option to switch to Google's Flagship while also having an option to buy the sd765 variant if so they wish to.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
That report is old but it is now supported by a new leak that came out yesterday which is the first time anyone has corroborated the rumor. What I get out of it is the P4 was not a great value and this one is going to be far worse in terms of value; you've got a mid range chipset, no soli, no face unlock, etc. A lot of hardware to skimp on for what is going to be competing directly with the iphone 11 and 12 on price and a whole bunch of android devices which are also going to have a lot more bullet points at that price. That isn't fine with a lot of consumers who are going to walk into carrier stores and see bigger numbers on devices sitting right next to it that cost less. Those are by and large not phone geeks like the type that frequent this forum and they're going to see cooler looking hardware which appears to offer more for their COVID spanked dollars.

I see failure in my crystal ball, the biggest yet for the Nexus and then Pixel line.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Rumor has it that it will have a small battery (3000 mAH). If this is true than it is so disappointing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Link?

Thing is that it'll be a smaller phone than the 4a and probably the same footprint as the 4. That being said, 3000 mAh is still 200 more than the 4 and it'll have a the Snapdragon 765 which will be more power efficient. That size battery seems to be as large as it gets for 5.8" screen. The S10e has the same sizes for both.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Oh i thought it was going to be over 6" in size. If it's 5.8" I'd still like to see 3200-3300 but i get what you mean. Let's c
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah the phone on the left (shorter) is the 5 and the phone on the right is the 4a. Was it Tom's Guide that said something like 6.67 inches? I think their information is off.View attachment 5082217
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Oh okay I thought otherwise!

Well kinda excited about the 5. I am really intrigued how Google will shape it up. The cost Vs feature balance.

hi

I've bene using a win mobile phone for 7+ years but I am new to the world of instant messaging on windows mobile, I signed up for windows live IM service but I was told I would be charged 20p per IM on T Mobile in the UK.

What IM service do u use, and how much do you pay for it? Is there a way to send IM via 3G, as opposed to a atext message as the 20p per message seems to sugegst?

Can skype be used as an IM service? and how much would I be charged? I don't want to pay the price of a text msg each time I send a IM.

Thats the only thing i dont like about this forum. I have searched for some things, and posted at the end of an old thread, and got no reply, thats happened twice.

I have also had some problems, as i assume a lot of new members here do, with which keywords to search for, granted, instant messenger is an easy search, but there are others that i didnt know, and have had real difficulty finding, rather than posting a new thread.

Wouldnt it be easier just ignoring the posts instead of a lot of users just keep saying over and over to search, or read the wiki ? A lot of new users will always ignore both of those things. Just seems a waste of time (imo anyway) replying to tell them to search.

And on topic, I have tried jivetalk, which was ok, and currently use palringo.

[Android Head-Units] KamaL:
Hello everyone.

I've been using my Joying JY-UL1282N2 for a couple of years now, and I'm really happy with it. But last week the screen has been making problems. I feel that there's a contact issue which causes the screen to suddently turn off. Pressing on the bottom of the screen bezel causes the screen to work fine. The touchscreen works all the time, even when the screen is off.

Here's a video showing the problem:

https://youtu.be/7Le8yL6SvWA

I think it's a hardware issue. Is there a simple way to fix this? I really have no need to upgrade the unit, it's still running the stock ROM too.

Thanks for any help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
I am running Blastagator TWRP 3.3.0-0 on an LG G2 with a screen hardware problem. The screen is no longer touch sensitive in the center of the lower part of the screen. Updates to Lineage on this device do not automatically install Magisk, so it needs to be installed manually through TWRP each time I update Lineage. The problem is that installing any zip file through TWRP requires confirmation by moving the slider across the screen, through the dead spot. When I try to do that, the slider drops back as if I lifted my finger off the screen. The same thing happens if I let the screen time out - I can't get past the lock screen without the slider, so I have to crash TWRP and reboot.

Is there an alternative to sliding across the bottom of the screen? I can recompile TWRP if there's a flag in the source code. I've tried sideloading Magisk, but I can't do it because I have to swipe across the bottom of the screen to start sideload mode. If I try it through the ADB command line on a connected LInux system, I get "sideload connection failed", presumably because I haven't put the phone in sideload mode. All roads lead through that sliding bar.

It would be frustrating to have to trash the phone just because of a single bad spot on the sensor. Once in a blue moon the bar slides and I can get Magisk to install, but it's frustrating to keep trying for five or ten minutes hoping I get that one shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joluke:
I believe you can disable the lock screen in the options totally (the slider thing). Not sure though but yes, it's a crap design. Hope someone is able to help

Did you trying to use mouse through otg cable..?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joluke:
Wow. Does it work? I didn't even knew it did lol. Thanks for the tip. Hope OP sees your post and gives it a try
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
Brilliant! That worked. It appears the mouse has to be plugged in at boot time, but if it is, the arrow appears and the mouse and slider are fully functional in both system and recovery.

By the way, I get around the dead spot on the keyboard when booted into the system by using one of the many Set Orientation apps that allow me to turn the screen upside down. I haven't found an app yet that needs touch sensitivity at the top and bottom of the screen at the same time. Well, games, but I don't play games on an LG G2 :)

I wonder if a Y cable will work on the USB port, so I can plug in a thumb drive for storage and still use a mouse to move the slider to start the backup?

BTW, I checked the TWRP settings screen. There is no setting that affects the slider.

Thank you, eyobaaa.

I had significant battery savings when I debloated Google.

I was not surprised.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] pbman1953:
When you say Google, what items?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] GeekOnTheHill:
I don't know what items David means, but in my case, I usually disable YouTube, Hangouts, Google Pay, Google Play Music, and Google Play Movies and TV, simply because I have no need for them.

I also disable Google Assistant (and all other AI assistants) because I got tired of them piping up any time I said something that sounded like their wake phrases. At some point I realized that whatever trivial amount of time they saved me answering actual questions was outweighed by all the time they wasted by chiming in when they hadn't been summoned. So I banished them all to AI-bot purgatory.

I have, at times, disabled the Google App and Google Maps when they got a bit too creepy for my liking. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Google asked me to review a Thruway rest area where I stopped to take a crap. That was just more surveillance than I could handle. Is nothing sacred? They seem to have backed off the creepiness since then, however; so now I give them just enough permissions to do their jobs, and no more than that.

I used to uninstall unwanted apps using ADB, but I noticed no improvement compared to disabling them; and it complicated the process of enabling them in case I ever did want to use them. Also, some Google apps have odd inter-dependencies that one wouldn't suspect. So now I just disable them.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] kischde:
Is there a possibility to delete those remaining files and folders manually using adb again? I'll get my 7T tomorrow in the evening so I can't test it now and in fact I'm not sure which would be the correct commands.. maybe

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] kischde:
[MENTION=3978286]surdustef[/MENTION]

.. when using 'other' / polite words then I'd describe it as a distraction or detour ^^ detour like if you start a journey to find America and suddenly show up in India ;)

Now I'm clarified and have got that OnePlus (had the 6T before Mi 9T Pro) may not have the non-plus-ultra devices but compared to Xiaomi, Xiaomi (to me at least, just my opinion) seem to be children's phones or so....

Apart from the manufacturer's original ROM there was none in which the FPR would have worked satisfactory.

One thing working is TWRP! But that was.. well, that's it I guess. Want another example? Here we go: I'm using Total Commander since the beginning of time. Despite what you could do, grant access, blah, you cannot make it to install apks with TC. The only app doing the job is that ..... silly filemanager shipped with the ROM. Which also seems to be designed to please my kids. I'm almost sorry for having to say it that harsh way.

Same goes for other files, Excel sheets, Word docs wouldn't have opened in Google apps, you had to use what Xiaomi tells you to use. 85 years back such behavior led to holocaust and of course I don't compare that but I alone will decide which app I use to open whatever I want.

Long story short: do yourself a favour and stick with Oneplus. In my opinion those are atm the best devices you can get (also when having in mind that they're not perfect). Had several Samsungs till they came up with Knox without telling users about it. Had LG then, Honor, Huawei - but they also went worse. OP are at the moment those fitting my needs best.

AR is "augmented reality." Some people think it's only for gaming, but it actually has many, many other current and potential uses ranging from training astronauts to inspecting the cylinders in a car engine.

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] GeekOnTheHill:
I saw it. I'm just not sure what the question is.

If you're wondering how to disable the Google Assistant, you can do it through the Google app, ironically enough.

If you want to know how to uninstall the Google Assistant, I really don't know. I think it's part of the Google app now, but I wouldn't swear to it.

I usually just either disable it or severely limit its permissions (especially the microphone and camera). Digital assistants in general creep me out.
