[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuoPrimum:
If you're not interested in internet, yet want reliable audio and video, maybe try old kk roms that are optimized or some lollipop aosp roms. That way the software is at its lightest.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KermitJ:
QuoPrimum Thanks for the tips!

Forgot to add that I am new to Android but have been using Windows for a while.

For Windows there are a number of ways to remove unnecessary parts

1. preformed like Micro XP v0.82

2. make your own using nLite

Anything like this for Android?

Also have been searching for a description what each Android file does like Black Viper does for Windows. Windows Services Information http://www.blackviper.com/windows-services/

Hope someone knows about an Android (or even Linux) info similar to this.

You could disable/freeze apps with titanium backup or using adb.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KermitJ:
QuoPrimum Thanks for the suggestion "You could disable/freeze apps with titanium backup or using adb."

Checked "Titanium Backup User’s Guide" https://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-user-guide.html Was especially interested in 7. Manage Applications List of apps Tapping the “Backup/Restore” button brings you to the application list – or rather the list of available “items”. Here you can see which applications and settings are available on your phone, and what has already been backed up (the symbols to the right tell you the latter – hit your phones menu button and select “Legend” for details on what they mean). Tapping an application brings up a popup from which you can select actions to be taken with the selected item: You can e.g. run an application, back it up, restore it (or its settings). You also may also decide to un-install the application – even if it is a system app! But with the latter, you should be very careful: Remove the wrong thing, and your phone may start malfunctioning. Which is why you should first try whether it’s safe to remove that system application. This can be done by “freezing” it.

Clarification: What type of information is available when select legend.

Also do you know of a beginners guide for Android OS services?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuoPrimum:
I don't know of any specific guides, but if you look around xda, there should be a few debloating guides for roms.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] kamiller42:
I'm looking for a bluetooth headset for phone calls with following preferences:

Mono & fits well on ear, i.e. without headband.

Supports voice commands

Excellent background noise reduction

Auto-answers when placed on ear.

Comes with charging dock. (optional)

Budget is $75 or less.

It does not need to be good with music or movies. This is dedicated to phone calls.

EDIT: By noise reduction, I mean noise isolation, i.e. the ability of the microphone to focus on my voice and not other noises in the room.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] phillsimpson:
I can tell you I bought the Amazon Buds thinking they'd be good for this. They are not. Microphone is far too sensitive. I've tried a bunch of Chinese One's and they also are pretty bad. I've just ordered the $50 newegg refurb of the Jabra 65t earbuds as the reviews say they are spectacular from a sound isolation - but wont know first hand until this weekend... And there's also the risk of getting duds and having to return. But if you find a set, please post on here.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

[Update], rereading I see you ask for a mono.single ear, I've not got anything to add there. I was looking for dual earbuds. I'll leave my response in case it's useful to others in a similar situation. Sorry about that.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] yiangoun2112:
You should consider Plantronics Edge, or 3200. I had the 1st one, I have the 2nd one. Excellent sound quality. HD voice, Noise cancellation. Only windy environment doesn't isolate. If there is a place too crowded, still the person on the other side of line, hear you well.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] pkadavid:
I'm on a lot of calls for work, and the Jabra Stealth has been my go-to for years after trying many others. A huge plus is that it has a dedicated button that allows you to mute the call you're on, which is a huge feature for me.

EDIT: Jabra re-branded their products. The Stealth is now called the Talk 45: https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-talk-45#/#100-99800900-02
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mrnovanova:
As most of you might know the Galaxy S20 Ultra Will cost $1300 USD and I'm not too sure what to think. On one end it offers the best of the best in terms of specs but on the other hand $1300 is a lot of money.

That's about $1750 CAD in my province that comes out to $2008 with taxes. That price is too GATDAMN high!

I already know that I want it but I won't be pre ordering this time around. The prices usually go down a couple of weeks after release anyway.

What's your take on it? Is it a GO a hard PASS or does it fall somewhere in between?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] peachpuff:
I would wait a bit, last year in late april samsung had that blue ribbon event. The 512gb s10 was the same price as the regular s10, plus there was a 10% coupon and a $200 trade in bonus, that 512gb s10 ended up costing me $903 cdn after taxes :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] johnwayne27:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Geekser:
My Wife thinnks I am crazy - but I will be getting the S20 Ultra - I will either trade my Note 10 Plus or sell it on Swappa after I get the new S20 Ultra. I don't like the fact that it is so expensive, but the only way it would be cheaper is if it didn't have the same amount of enhancements and quality hard ware. Its understandable that it is going to cost more based on everything it has....and honestly, it sounds like it will be worth every penny.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] daraj:

Someone forgot to remind Samsung that there are plenty of flagships out there for less than half the price. Bubble will burst soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] peachpuff:
Canadian prices...

s20 128gb - $1320

s20+ 128gb - $1580

s20+ 512gb - $1780

s20u 128gb - $1850

s20u 512gb - $2110 + 13% tax = $2384 lolololol

I think i'll skip this generation, the s20 doesn't even have a 256 or 512gb version and the s20u is too rich for my blood. No blue ribbon even will discount it to my liking, and that space zoom is only 4x optical, the rest is sensor crop+digital zoom.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] speedyjay:
Aside from a few upgrades etc theirs going to be minimal performance increases from my Note 10+ and the S20 Ultra. I'll wait until later on this year and grab the N20* (if that's what they call it)

Again you guys are looking at the 5G versions and expecting it to cost same as lte versions from last year...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah they have 600.00 for the pixel 4 and 4 xl, that`s what I`m doing, getting the S20 ultra 512gb T-mobile version
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cpufrost:
I don't see any 'non 5G' versions though.

It would be nice to see that. Because for the vast majority of us, 5G is as practical as tits on a bull and I'd gladly choose a non 5G variant in order to save money on something I'd never use.

Of course, with the S10, if you wanted the best device you didn't have a choice. The S10 5G was the best. Until the Note 10 came out. But with (the Note 10) you did NOT have to get a 5G version to have the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] skivnit:
Looks like it doesn't exist in the US but in other countries lte costs 100 euros less
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Flockrock:
No I wish it would cost more because people who really need to buy the absolute gold standard phone no matter what price are stupid enough to pay any price.

Like getting only 95% of the features in a S20 for almost half the price isn't an option.

I like seeing what a phone can possibly do but some people should think twice about wasting their money so thoughtless

Is it too expensive? Well yes if you can't afford it just buy a S20. Like you couldn't live without a 108MP or 100X zoom

It's like complaining about a ferrari being to expensive. Just get a toyota or whatever and stop complaining
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] arsenal74:
If the s10 camera and radio performance was not so bad I'd never even consider the s20.

Honestly though there are equally good options out there now for less money. I'm using the OP7 pro right now and only the camera falls short but the pixel and last gen Huawei's still have epic cameras as does (whisper it) the sub £1000 iPhone 11
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] skivnit:
In my country they sell the ultra for 1349 usd and it's LTE only as we don't have 5G yet
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Zirox:
In my opinion if you take good care of phones the price is just right. Its 1.3k but you get good trade in value for galxy series/Note am currently getting 700$ for my Note10+ that about half the price of the phone. And in my opinion this phone is totally worth the 600$ after trade in.

It's the Price+Exynos SoC combo pulling me backwards. I feel somewhat "Nay" this time around.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mrnovanova:
I had to cancel my pre-order. Telus puts an extra $350 on the price of the ultra so it's $2200, that's $2524.50 with taxes in Quebec. My mortgage is $657 a month just to put that in perspective. I'll probably be able to trade it for my iPhone 11 Pro max on Kijiji [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dmb219:
The price is pretty much on par with the premium specs. I'll probably decide on keeping the Ultra or not based on the performance of the camera. That's a big bump but it's there. In a year or two it'll be gone like the notch. I hope I like it, I'm a little bored with my Pixel. I was thinking about keeping it but $600 trade in is hard to resist.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Ippolito1971:
Price for the S20U doesn't really bother me (we all knew it'd be very expensive) but what does is the fact you can't use a OnePlus 7pro or 6T to trade. They're only allowing Sammy and iPhone devices? You'd think they want market share from other manufacturers here, Smh that's really not right IMO. I don't want to buy a TMO variant rather buying unlocked from Sammy direct but may be forced to go with TMO depending on their preorder deals. 21st is comin quick and I def want the 16/512 variant, guess we will see.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] VZTech:
TMO, doesn't seem to have any deals. Wonder why?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Limeybastard:
There is no other market share in the USA [emoji1787] . It'd either Apple or Samsung in America, rest is just niche devices . More so after the USA got all salty with Huawei and prevented them from getting a foothold here to sell devices.

Hence I stick my middle finger to arrogance ( Samsung ) and monopoly , Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 2015Ducatimulti:
if you have google device, there allowing that for trade in too, I have the pixel 4 xl and I`m getting 600 for that, when I originally only bought it for 500.00, I`m getting the S20 ultra 512gb 16gb T-mobile one.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Ippolito1971:
Yea I had the p4xl and returned it. Didn't seem like it was worth the price for not much more than a great camera being a OnePlus owner as I am. Anyway looksmoike I'm full pricing it bc no way can I wait 3-6 mos for a reduction ?

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Can't say I disagree much but for them to just blindly discount OnePlus as a brand is beyond me. They share a relationship with them (display panels and camera sensors) knowing darn well OnePlus is growing in the USA market. Just doesn't make sense. Guess I'll be selling my mint condition Almond 7Pro and mint condition 6T.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Well not yet. They'll post their deals the day of preorder or day before. I've seen it every year with Samsung launches. They wait until it's getting ready to start pre-orders on the networks to show their ads.

I wished for a less curvy 7T Pro as I couldn't cope with the curves @7 Pro either, still wishing it for the 8 Pro - hopefully with no pop-up cams. Samsung is indeed, crossing the boundaries [MENTION=747702]cost[/MENTION].
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Ippolito1971:
It's definitely a different direction for OnePlus but for me it's quite nice EXCEPT when I'm reading certain things or in certain Apps that aren't optimized for it. Camera quality is damn good. Honestly the 5T had a stellar camera setup and provided fantastic processing. I'm not buying a phone to use Google camera software, it's wrong to me. Anyways a bit off-topc here lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
In my opinion the the S20 and S20+ are the "standard" iterations of the S10. The S20 Ultra seems to me like an extra product to show off, to compete with other brands in 2020 even though they still have the rest of the year to release their new flagships. Imagine a situation where just before the Note 20 premiere the S20U is still on the top or at least in top 3 smartphones of 2020. Based on that it justifies why the S20U costs so much but in 3 months the price will drop around 25-26% according to german idealo analysis.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mrnovanova:
Now that the reviews are in I'm contemplating going the Z Flip route for a few reasons.

1- The main reason would be 5G. With the whole Huawei debacle, the government has yet to announce it's decision in regards to Telus' 5G infrastructure. And realistically 5G looks like a Q3 thing right now.

2- The battery reviews look dismal so far. I couldn't justify paying $1419 for the iPhone X when it came out therefore I returned it after 4 days. I have a hard time with the $2200 price point on the s20 ultra as mentioned before.

3- The Z Flip would have a greater WOW factor and would be a lot more practical then the s20 ultra.

That being said the Z Flip now and the Note 20 in August when/if we actually have 5G seems like a more sensible route.

*Disclaimer

I love Samsung. Love Android. Love Apple. I have I slight bias towards Android but end of the day it's my money and blind allegiance ain't my thing. Just saying ?

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] _Dennis_:
Your choice, both are good phones I think.

1. 5G right now isn't great, and if you upgrade a lot it's not a big selling point, but if you hold onto your phone for 2 or 3 years, having it is going to be nice.

2. The battery life is great, [youtube]F1ARTncez-s[/youtube] shows it holds up well at 120hz, would be even better at 60hz.

3. I agree with the WOW factor. The practicality it's all about how you use it.
