[Samsung Galaxy S22] dragos281993:
I've got the silver/white one. I ordered an original bumper along with the phone and put it on before even switching on the device. After 4 days I decided the phone is pure rubbish and I was gonna return it. When I took it out of the case I saw all these small scratches all around the rim. They were enough to render the phone uneligible for return. So the "military grade aluminium" is utter crap and just pure marketing. The screen is the same. Mine looks terrible right now.

So I suggest staying away from Samsung's cases. Something else made of softer materials is a better option.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] kevindd992002:
If the screen scratches easily, then I guess a tempered glass is warranted? I thought those gorilla screens are self-healing?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
I didn't say poor usage stats. I said poor usage skills. There's a difference. If you're going to quote me make sure quote me properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
You seem to be in the "should I wait" conundrum, and with the warranty policies in your country, I understand that. I have been in that situation. Here is my advice. Subjective battery issues aside.

IF you decide to upgrade, get the S22+ 265GB Snap Dragon version if available. It is already the approximate size you are already used to. It will do everything your S8+ does and you are quadrupling your internal storage capacity. Plus, you are getting three major OS updates and monthly security updates for three years.

I stick with the Note/Ultra form factor because I like it and it fits into my usage style and habits. I also like the other stuff that Samsung has been doing; like Samsung Pay, Link to Windows, and DeX. The first two I use daily. My wife and daughter like the S and S+ for the same reasons. What drove my daughter's decision in getting the S22 is that it has a flat screen. She isn't a fan of the curved screen.

To be honest, pretty much every S and Note update since the S8/Note 8 series has been iterative with few really "big" changes. The only interesting phones to come out are the foldables like the Z Fold series and Microsoft's Duo series. I'm not ready to jump on that bandwagon yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] kevindd992002:
Oops, you're right. That was an honest mistake, I apologize.

I am, yes. It's the perfectionist in me talking.

I'm also not a fan of curved screens so it would be interesting going back to flat screens this time. I never really understood the use case of the curved screen of my S8/S8+.

My Father has the Z Fold 4 and that is something. But I also couldn't justify its price. I also don't like the Flip because it's too long for me when opened.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
No worries. I would also bet that many of the people complaining also have poor usage habits. Meaning they load a bunch of garbage on their phones or visit sketchy websites then get angry that it gets bogged down with adware, malware, etc. I would also bet they are always on their phones. Probably more than they should be or need to be.

My neighbor has the Z Fold and he likes it a lot. I like the concept of the Z Fold and Z Flip, but I think the technology needs a little more refinement. I think Samsung and Microsoft are going in the right direction. At least they are trying new stuff. Unlike *cough* Apple.

I'm also not a big fan of curved screens and I like how Samsung has backed off a bit on that. The Note 10 and 20, and the S21 and S22 Ultra's displays are not as curved as the Note 8 and 9. Having a curved display on a 6.6in display does help a bit with holding and gestures. On a smaller display like the S22 or S22+, not so much.

As far as perfectionist. I know the feeling. The only advice I can give is at some point you are going to have to ask yourself, "When is it going to be 'good enough'?"
[General Questions and Answers] The3Genius:
Hi everyone,

Right now I own two phones a OnePlus 6 (256) and a Realme X2 Pro (256). I bought both of them immediately when they launched. I will be using them in Germany.

I LOVE the native call recording on both phones. I run a small service business and it helps alot!

I am thinking of upgrading for three reasons. I will list them in terms of importance to me.

1) I have a young child and want to capture the best videos and photos of him during this young age.

2) Hoping for better battery life

3) Speed & Performance

I am thinking of getting Vivo X8 Pro and/or the Oppo Find X5 Pro.

Questions:

1) Do these phones offer inbuilt call recording?

2) Will the photo/video quality be worth the upgrade?

3) Any other comments/ suggestions are very welcome.

Thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I think Oppo Find X5 Pro is well in photo/video quality and inbuilt call recording.

so I've assigned the left softkey button to rotate the screen

worked flawlessly until I installed pocket plus and then I'm curiously rotate the screen to right using the icon from pocket plus

now the softkey button (both right and left) ONLY rotate the screen to rightnot the usual left!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I've tried uninstalling pocket plus and softreset

none worked

help!
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
sorry, I was in panic, I've found the way using registry hacker to undo the 'damage'

Try this:

[HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]

"LandScapeFixed"=dword:00000001

"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 or 1

Now press that button

"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 = Left Handed

"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000001 = Right Handed

[Google Pixel 6] albstaten:
Has anybody else received this message when attempting to record video on a P6 Pro? I've had this problem for months and a Google search yields only one result of the same problem, with no solution. Posting to Google's help got no replies. It happens fairly frequently, I will attempt to start recording a video, then get an overlay saying, "Can't record audio. Microphone is off or in use." There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and the only surefire way to make it go away is to restart my phone...until it does it again. I have noticed that it seems to happen whenever I've recently used Whatsapp for anything at all (not even using the mic), but it also just does it when I'm intentionally avoiding Whatsapp in hopes of recording usable videos.

I'm at my wits end and to me this seems like a software issue of the microphone permission being held hostage by another program but if I can't even get an acknowledgement of the issue then I'm not sure how it's supposed to be fixed...

I would post a screenshot but it doesn't seem to want to let me post both text and images in the same post...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ChasDun:
Looks like the Xperia X1a is dropping in the U.s. at at least Best Buy for now. I have read good reviews on both devices. Has anyone seen a good head to head comparison of these two devices? It looks like they are in the same league. Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
I think it comes down to $299 (+2yr contract) for the Fuze, or $799 (+service you were going to pay for anyway) for a WVGA screen and headphone jack. All other pros/cons seem to vary from one reviewer to another.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] RAP5:
The Xperia is metal construction. The Fuze is mostly plastic and high gloss black ( print magnet) The keys are spread out nice on the Xperia, bunched up on the Fuze due to the smaller size. There is a slight tilt on the Xperia and the slide is straight out on the Fuze. I know there are a lot of software differences but just wanted to state the obvious physical differences I compared.

If the Xperia sold for $600 it would be the best deal for a PDA Phone in a long while. $865 from a Sony Style store is just a lot of jack in this economy. ( tax inc )

I have looked at the FUZE and the Touch Pro at Sprint. Something has kept me from buyin either one of them. Yeah I sold the X1a a day later for about the same as what I paid for it. Sonystyle wants 15% restock fee ( ouch )
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
not necessarily , because you can get the fuze for $299 on 2 year contract, unlock it for free, sell it for ~$500 and then use that money to buy the xperia, making it only 2-300 more expensive. still more than it should be, but not as bad as people are making it seem..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Okay you two are on par, but compare it this way.

No-commitment price = $500

RETAIL PRICE = $849.99

Xprea X1a RETAIL PRICE = $800

It's a hell of a deal. Notice why I put two prices. Because you can only get the $500 deal if you're a customer of AT&T. If you're comparing the retail prices, I suggest you compare the retail prices. Not retail vs no-commitment. The $500 price is retail for AT&T customers only.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
i mean, come on, anybody can get a brand new fuze for $500 + tax. If your not an at&t customer, i'm sure you know somebody whos an at&t customer, ask him/her to go buy one for you, no committment. the people who get screwed are our nice neighbors to the north (canadians). none of their gsm carriers have picked up this phone, and i hear the fuze is selling for north of $600 up there..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
True. But I was comparing the real retail price. Not how cheap you can get it for. I mean I bet someone could get it for free if they stole it. Or $100 if they worked for Sony or whatever. You know what I meant.

My reasons: PHAIL = bad; WIN = good

NO G-SENSOR! PHAIL!

Embedded screen! PHAIL!

Screen res. WIN!/PHAIL! (depending on pov. To install apps - fail; beauty - win)

TF3D and Panels! WIN!

No tv-out! PHAIL!

Metal casing. WIN!

Roomy buttons. WIN!

Price. UBER PHAIL! (I ain't paying that much for a device. IDK if you people like buying every phone for $1000+ as some of you have.)

Sony camera. WIN!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] g2tl:
But I'd guess most in the US eying on an xperia are already with att, or at least considering it. After all, xperia has the att 3g band, not tmo.

As a side note, I think x1 wins in terms of form factor and battery life as well. But even if the two were the same price, I would have gotten a touch pro. I am very, VERY happy with its keyboard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Ghallo:
What's with this "No commitment price"? I went to Fry's Electronics (big box store like Best Buy), and bought the phone for $475+tax (This was Saturday). While my wife drove, I called up AT&T and asked them for the unlock code. They asked for the IMEA number, I gave them that... and they gave me the unlock code. Phone was up and working on the T-Mobile system before we got home 10 minutes later.

Sure, I don't have 3G... but I like my $15/month unlimited data plan with tethering and free Hotspot calling. AT&T wants $60 for that plan. At 156K/s vs 500k/s... that's just not worth it! (And no, I don't think most people could get the plan I have with T-Mobile... had an account with them since they were called VoiceStream...)

All that being said - I owned an X1i for 5 days. It was hands down the faster phone (all that AT&T garbage probably slows the Fuze down... I'll flash it after I figure out what I really want to do with it). But the screen just didn't do it for me. The Fuze screen is flush with the face of the phone and I think that is a clear win over the X1 (think about how beat up that screen is going to look after a few months). The keyboards are 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other in use. I could use both keyboards just fine. The X1i seemed to have this issue, however, where the software keyboard would launch any time input was required ... even if the keyboard was out. Very annoying. The Fuze let's me choose.

The X1 never locked up on me, and I did a ton of installs and had lots of apps open. The Fuze has locked up almost daily for me. Again, I think it is the AT&T bloatware, but I'm not sure.

So my review is also a little mixed. In the end I made a deal with my wife that if I didn't like the Fuze after a month or so, I'd give it to her and get the X1a (since I figure the price will have dropped by then).

Right now, at a price of $475 vs $799.99 it isn't a contest. When neither phone is a clear winner in any category I would say let value decide - and the Fuze is clearly the better value right now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
@Ghallo

Really I have no idea. Yes, it's true that you can get it for $500 anywhere. But if you call AT&T cs. They'll tell you that retail pricing is for those that don't have Aee Tee & Tee and no-commitment (retail for customers) is the no-contract price for Aee Tee & Tee customers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Cherryblue:
Hello everyone,

I'm really curious, as I just flashed two custom roms on the vince device of my girlfriend, and on both (Elixir - Android 12 and Havoc - Android 11), someone calling her phone car cleary hear back his own voice, making it louder and louder until it is not bearable.

This feels like noise cancellation is not working, while it worked flawlessly on stock phone a few weeks ago ; I'm beginning to wonder if anyone here is using a "data messenger" like Signal, Telegram or Whatsapp ?

Is there a commonly known fix for this ? Or Am I forced to set her back to stock ? O__O

Thanks in advance for your answers guys.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Most007:
Hello,

I have seen this issue pop up on a few phones and different ROMs, but recently I installed this new ROM on my Samsung J730f, and for once a custom ROM for that phone was actually stable and fully functioning ( [10]RadicalQuack ).

However, the only issue I came across is something I never had on any other ROM, is that some 3rd party apps (WhatsApp, Snapchat) use the camera in 4:3 and stretch it to full screen which looks absolutely horrible. If i take a photo, the preview looks 4:3 stretched but the actual picture looks normal, but when I film a video it just looks the same as the preview. Some apps like instagram function properly, the cam is in 9:16, and ofc the normal Samsung camera app functions as intended as well.

I tried describing the issue as best as I could in hope someone has an idea on how I can fix this.

Thanks for reading.

Today, my keypad broke between the green and the red phone button.

It's the tiny small connection on the absolute bottom of the keypad.

This is the second time this broke. Does anyone else has this same experience? Could this be happened by mis-use or is it just a weak point?

And if I send my phone to a service point, should I flash it with the default firmware or can I leave the custom "fast" firmware?

Well I had that experience too. I almost lost my call button because of this. The Fevi-stick is the best option(other than replacing the keypad).

Unrelated comment but it seems the s710 isn't put together that well. I dropped mine once (while the protected cover was fitted) and the navigation buttons stopped working. Send it to the shop only to find the motherboard has cracked.. The second drop caused the whole qwerty keypad to come apart.

I guess there is no way to truly protect your phone.. Unless you bubble wrap it. :p

What risks can there be? and is it possible to flash without USB OTG, only via PC?

I just switched from Redmi S2, it was easier there. And here you also constantly need to install TWRP. Do I need a USB OTG?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] massima:
My Poco is locked but the only way to flash TWRP is via fastboot with a PC, for the first time. When you'll update it you will flash a newer version directy from TWRP, it can be stored on the phone or on a device connected to the OTG cable.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Unlocked Bootloader is required to use any Custom Recovery/ROM.

You don't have to flash TWRP, you can just boot it using your PC and Fastboot. "fastboot boot twrp.img"

If you want to have that Custom Recovery installed, you boot TWRP and in "Advanced", select "Install current RamDisk". You can choose to make a backup of the original Boot-partition, so you can restore it later.

You can also restore an original Boot-partition (.img file) via Fastboot.

Disadvantages of installing a Custom Recovery:

If you're on Stock MIUI, you won't be able to auto-apply System updates as MIUI requires the MIUI Recovery.

If you're on Xiaomi.eu, this doesn't matter, because Xiaomi.eu never supported auto-updates.

Note: System updates override the Boot-partition, and therefore remove your Custom Recovery, Magisk Root and other modifications you may have applied to the Boot-partition.
