[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] nemesisemulsifier:
Hey there everyone,

I have snooping wife issues.

I need to know if there is anyway I can see if my wife has opened my phone. It's Samsung A70 running Android 10.

Are there any logs that show what time my phone was opened.

She probably knows my password.

Just wanted to know.

Thanks.

Help and cool comments are highly appreciated please.

This is what I did.

I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.

Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.

It was not.

So I'm going to change the login pin and password.

Let the kids grow.

I'll be living alone when they move out.

Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.

If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.

Is it true that android 10 performance better than Android 11 performance

Hothardware.com said Android 11 performance drops

So do you recommend me staying on Android 10 or Android in terms of performance

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Muenzi:
Hi everyone,

since my last update from Lineage OS 16 -> 17 I experience at least 2-3 times a day repeated app crashes (most often Facebook, Whatsapp, Several News Apps - most often the app which is in focus). If the app crashed once, stopping the app and restarting it can help sometimes, but fails most often espacially if I scroll down within the app too fast. Nevertheless, most often I have to restart the phone or have to clear caches within TWRP. Then the phone runs stable for a couple of hours.

If anybody of you have experience with such bugs please let me know. Currently, I do not have many ideas left to solve the problem.

What I already tried was (every step tried multiple times):

Updating Poco Firmware (V12.0.2.0.QEJMIXM) + Reinstalling LineageOS (clean install) + Gapps (Android 10)

Installing LineageOS without Gapps (Android 10)

Switching to Pixel Experience (clean install)

Installing Miui (V12.0.2.0.QEJMIXM) + Installing Pixel Experience (clean install)

Thanks a lot for any advice. Best regards,

Muenzi

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kmorris89:
When I'm trying to call/receive a call, the screen is really messed up. Nothing appears, I get the start menu at the top which says "Phone" on it, the soft key labels at the bottom, and then the part of the screen where the dialer/call status/all that stuff is supposed to be just shows up white. I think it may have started when I tried to answer a call while my phone was locked, or maybe after I changed around the call settings with KaiserTweak so it wouldn't sleep/fast sleep during calls. I reverted those settings to the default, restarted my phone, and still no luck.

I don't really have anything that valuable on there so I'm not opposed to just re-flashing my ROM, but does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] madlec:
Hi,

I have a 2017 Hizpo DVD player, running Android 6.0.1 on an All Winner Quad Core T3 P3 chipset with 2GB RAM. . It is getting increasingly unstable when I try to use Google Maps as a satnav, watch anything on YouTube, or listen to YTMusic. It is extremely slow to load maps, and sometimes during a navigation, it just quits... no errors, no warnings.... The same with YouTube apps. It also randomly pops up saying Google Play Services has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I have attached a couple of photos of the MCU, OS and Linux versions. I have already tried to find whether I can update this unit, but the MCU version doesn't look anything like the references I have come across. I guess I am wondering if it is worth updating, or if it should be filed and I invest in a new one...

Thanks...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] jdilla1987:
Hey All,

Initially this post was to show off one of my cases, but since I'm a bit of a case fiend, I'll be posting all of 'em here.

Feel free to post yours and share any thoughts.

Several of mine are coming from overseas so I'll be posting them as they arrive.

X-Level Guardian case

Was my favorite case for the Pixel 2XL.

Feels a bit smoother and not as grippy but it may just need to be broken in a bit.

Cutouts are precise and buttons are okay. Not as tactile as I'd like but satisfactory.

I don’t like bulky cases and this keeps the phone slim.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] jdilla1987:
J&D Clear case

Way grippier in hand than the X-level.

Shows off the phone's design/color a lot better.

Shutter button is a bit on the mushy side.

Dust and smudge magnet. However, fairly resistant to regular finger prints.

Wood Pattern cases

Wood pattern looks good. No texture, just a smooth back

Makes the phone even less grippy (if that's even possible)

Buttons are hard to press and hard to feel because of minimal feedback

Cases are more for looks than anything else

Thank you for the link! Yeah I don't know if that Taobao seller ships to the US. I tried to checkout but it doesn't seem to let me. It's unfortunate because I see several cases on Taobao that I don't see anywhere else. Hopefully they reach other sites soon.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] scdoyle:
I got the official Sony case with kickstand. It's made of a hard textured material with plenty of grip. The fit is nice - tight but also easy to remove. It also does not add much bulk - only a bit at the corners and top & bottom. I am pleased with it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] olafd72:

Never mind, just ordered the X-Level via Amazon.de

Mercury Goospery Soft case (Midnight Blue)

Same mold/design as the X-Level case

Material is softer to the touch. Slightly grippier and feels better in hand

Wish the buttons were more tactile but are satisfactory

Susceptible to finger grease but wipes off easily enough

Love the midnight blue color

Devil Case Lite

High quality case, made in Taiwan

Milspec drop resistance (MIL-STD-810G-516.6)

Constructed with clear plexi rear panel and textured side bumper.

Alloy buttons for volume rocker, Google Assistant key, and Shutter release. Google Assistant Key is removeable*

Alloy buttons can be purchased separately in different colors and have best feel of any of the cases and is similar bare/naked buttons

Alloy shutter release button has the best "feel" for using the shutter button. Easy and smooth 2-stage travel.

Sides are gently rounded and thicker than most cases and spreads against your palm adding comfort. Very fine texturing adds to grip even in wet/slippery conditions

Clear back panel picks up fingerprints very easily. Due to the construction of the cutouts, dust/lint can enter and is drawn to the clear back plate via static. The case looks superb when clean and dust free but this may be very short-lived. Not recommended for those with OCD

Exepnsive and may not be available in your region

I have the blue and the black (pictured) version

All cutouts are perfect

Lanyard holes are included

Spigen Rugged Armor

High quality case, slim case

Rounded edges with diagonal channels for added grip

Constructed from TPU. Rear has finely textured surface with immunity to fingerprints

All cutouts are perfect

Shutter button is a touch stiff and may add vibration when using it to take photos

Lightweight

Only comes in black

Lanyard holes are included

Case fits very snuggly will dislodge case friendly screen protectors unless applied precisely

Excellent case for the money

[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] jdilla1987:
You may have sold me on that alone.

I wish more case makers would adopt this method. The rounded edges of this phone make it nice to hold, but also cause it to be a bit slippery in hand.

A Nillkin case for my 6p had a textured grip on it's edges and it worked really well.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] TJ446:
I am a case junky myself. It's the small details that intrigue me. However. I've grown to find out that there is no such thing as an endgame case.

I believe that's why the new iPhones have brought back the squared off sides in their design. Logic would suggest that a flat surface won't grip as well, but the edge does help vs a rounded one.

It is important that the shutter button have a precise feel especially if you are using the pro camera and video apps. I've been a photo buff since ages ago dating back to film.

I wish this phone had more high quality cases available for it but in the meantime I will enjoy the hunt.

Hi,

can you tell me the brand of the screen protector in these pictures?

I have one from Spigen, but I lost sensibility in the corners. The good thing is that it covers the whole screen.

Thanks

Giorgio
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] TJ446:
Hi. The screen protector I am using is from

Devil Case Taiwan

.

I was planning to do a review on it after having it for a longer period of time.

It is the 4th tempered glass protector I have used on the Xperia 5 II.

- Well made, with all edges rounded. Case friendly

- Cutout for front camera and proximity sensor. Notches for top and bottom speaker

- No black borders

- This version has a matte, anti glare finish. The difference is similar to viewing a TFT monitor vs an IPS monitor. Overall brightness is down around 10% and fine clarity is down around 5%. Some vividness is reduced, perhaps 2%

- Anti glare properties work well in bright sunlight

- Does not have adverse effects using polarized sunglasses except reduced brightness

- Surface coating is extremely smooth virtually as good as no screen protector. Fingerprints are reduced greatly and cleaning is very easy

- No issues with using Side Sense gestures

- Only one screen protector is included in the package. No mounting bracket included but accessories like alcohol wipe and microfiber cloth are included and high quality

- Touch sensitivity is quite good overall but a very slight reduction is notable in the corners. Compared to other glass screenn protectors I have tested, this reduction is very minor. This could change after a period of time, but long term data not available. I waited a full 12 hours after applying before using the phone to ensure that the screen protector adhered properly

- Relatively expensive and may not be available in your region

I hope this helps you. I believe a clear version of this screen protector exists but was sold out at the time. If it is constructed like this one, it may be the one to consider if a matte finish is not preferable.

YTF Carbon Fiber Case

Incredibly light and very rigid. Feels like no case is on the device. Weight with tempered glass screen protector, phone, and case is less than 183g!

Carbon pattern is uniform and consistent through the case. The pattern is diagnonal and it appears as though a single piece was used to make the case

Soft touch and warm to the touch even when cold

Very low glare and very fingerprint resistant

Friction fit. Easy to attach but a bit more difficult to remove

There are 4 vertical slits, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom of the case to allow some "give" when inserting the phone into the case. Dust or sand could enter through these cutouts but appears to be a neccessity as to this particular design

Very little lip on topmost (screen) portion. With a tempered glass screen protector, the screen protector protrudes above the case. This may prevent one from resting the phone on the screen side

No lanyard holes are included

Lip around camera lens cutout protrudes above the lense and therefore adds in protecting the lens

All buttons feel like OEM as none are replaced by case buttons

Cutout for flash about 1 mm off in alignment. It's still acceptable

Some edges were sharp and were rounded down with 2000 grit wetsandpaper. This was very minor but should be mentioned

No problems noted with WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular transmission

Generally with open style cases, some dust or sand may intrude via the sides or openings. However, this case fits very tightly so this may prevent debris from entering. Caution must be taken if removing the case after a trip to the beach or dusty environment

Unique and high quality design. The carbon fiber pattern is attractive and very high tech looking

All cutouts besides the aforementioned flash area are perfectly aligned

Since no reviews were found on this case, some risk to first adopters. I personally think this case has gone through a few iterations to perfect the cutout alignment

Unknown shock resistance or long term durability

Purchased from AliExpress. Surprisingly quick shipment from China to Canada (around 2 weeks), especially during the Christmas season

Reasonably priced for what the case is, ~ $32 CAD including shipping.

If you a fan of sleek minimalism, this is definitely recommended

[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] hovikg:
Liking this so far. Probably not the safest case, but I like that I can still use the actual buttons which are taking too long to get used to after Pixel phones. Idk if I'll ever get used to them actually, constantly hitting the volume buttons to lock and unlock, accidentally grabbing the phone with thumb on power button which causes many issues ... so it's good there are no plastic overlays complicating things further with this case.

That's a really good one. If I keep this phone I'll probably end up ordering it.

KSQ Cloth PU Leather Case

The contrasting fabric/cloth feels really good in hand. Not necessarily grippy, but the leather/fabric/metal combo gives good confidence/feedback

Doesn't offer much drop protection due to the 'open' design of the case

Back pocket for card/cash. I keep a metal plate there so it works with all my magnetic mounts

Love the look of the case. Very 'professional' looking (whatever that means lol)

Doubt the quality of the materials used. We'll see how it holds up over time
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Federico Bonomo:

Banzn Leather Case

Well made and stylish

Appears to be genuine leather layer bonded to the TPU frame structure. The leather is textured with a fine pattern. The leather does not have any blemishes and is a singular piece

Weight including phone and tempered glass screen protector is less than 199g

No instructions and minimal packaging

Leather has a natural warmth to the touch even in colder weather and feels good in the hand

Leather hide is not fully water proof so some maintenance is required. I have owned leather phone cases in the past and some oil and conditioning is required

The charm of leather is the patina that forms over time with use. The more it wears, the more individualistic and customized it becomes

Cutouts are precise and aligned well

Lanyard mount is present on bottom left side of case

The front edge on screen side is raised even with tempered glass screen protector applied. This will allow you to lay the phone down on a surface without the screen making contact

Rear camera cutout is also raised and protected. The cutout also encloses the flash and adjacent sensor. Placing the phone down on this side will not cause any wobble

Some shock resistance is anticipated due to its design, but no official shock rating

Comes in several colours. I purchased both the brown and black leather versions

Does not appear to block or dimish Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, or cellular reception

No outgassing smells or chemical odors

Excellent value for the money if you are searching for a leather case. I purchased this case from AliExpress and shipping from China to Canada was relatively quick, less than one month to arrive. Price per case including shipping was under $10.50 CDN

Grip appears to be good as the leather provides a non slippery feel. The sides are smooth and rounded which contrasts with the textured leather

No wording or lettering on the leather, which is a feature I appreciate

Buttons for volume have good feedback. Not too light and not too stiff

Button for Google Assistant is not easily hit or pressed

Button for the shutter release is smooth with a short throw and feedback is quite good, better than on the Rugged Armor by Spigen but below that of the Devil Light case

The case is recommended
