[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s3axel:
It depends :)

I presently own both (S22U Snapdragon) and am to decide which one to keep in the next days.

For myself I'd presently assign the following +/-:

+S22U: build quality (S22U feels slightly more premium, higher quality materials)

+S22U: technical features (S-Pen, 1 more camera lens, slightly better screen, speaker quality, ultrasonic FP reader)

+S22U: (for me) larger storage versions available, 256GB is ok but a bit tight for my use cases

+S22U: physical dual SIM (one physical and one ESIM on P7P)

+P7P: better camera overall

+P7P: much easier to root/mod, custom ROMs

+P7P: UI feels snappier/smoother

Neutral/based on preferences:

- OneUI vs Pixel OS ( I prefer Pixel OS)

- battery life is pretty comparable between both for me

- P7P is a bit smaller/more comfortable in hand (the S22U is/feels "blockier" and wider) - for me the P7P feels better in hand/pocket

- S22U has more "bloatware" (depending on your use case you may want that functionality)....

- SW Updates are quite comparable, in speed as well as longevity - maybe Pixel is a tad better here

Having said all that:

I think you need to judge your own priorities to decide which is more important for you....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Good summing up. There are advantages and disadvantages for both. With a £300 difference the decision is a no brainer. £50 difference, less so.

For me the Knox e-fuse means I will never buy another Samsung. But it may be less important for some.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
My problem with the 22 Plus is the overly curved screen. It makes it a real pain to find a case and screen protector combo that actually protects the screen. However I do like Samsungs build quality better. In the end I went with the 7 Pro because of the camera and overall clean experience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] magames:
Wow!! Thank you very much for this summary! much appreciated
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] skyman631:
I have the same two phones and basically the same observations. Was a note fanboy until the famous "exploding in flame" Note 7. Have had every pixel since then. I don't think the P7P feels cheap, but the S22U (basically the Note 22) seems sturdier.

P7P is snappier even though S22U has better processor specs on paper. Photos are far superior to my eye on the P7P, again even though the S22U should, on paper, out perform it.

The S-pen is the big draw on the S22U for me. I have fat sausage fingers, and can just work faster with the S-pen. If Google ever starts making a Pixel with a stylus, it's game over for Samsung and me.

I'm trying to sell the S22U, but am not getting any decent offers for it. I didn't trade it in to Google for the P7P because both my Pixel 5 and Pixel 6 Pro were defective out of the box and had to go back, so didn't want to send them a perfectly functioning phone only to have to deal with a broken one. Happily, the P7P is fine with no defects. I gave up on the P6P because the bugs, especially the finger print scanner, were just too irritating to put up with. Fingerprint scanner on the P7P is great, and feels faster than the scanner on my S22U. I guess I'll just keep the S22U and trade it in when I decide I have to have the S23U, or the Pixel 7 Ultra if it turns out to be a real thing!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] skyman631:
Do you have a special version of the S22U? I only have 1 physical sim and one esim on mine, just like the P7P. I also read somewhere here on XDA the P7P can actually do dual esims as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I have both and the S22 Ultra is a better phone overall. The screen is higher quality, the reception is slightly better, the build materials are slightly better, and there are far more software customization options. Granted I've used ADB to disable a ton of Samsung bloatware, and installed a custom theme that makes the UI look near stock Android. The Pixel 7 Pro has a cleaner software experience, better call management software, better camera in some scenarios, and appears to have slightly better battery life.

If the difference is $50 and we're talking 256 GB/12 GB RAM on both, the S22 Ultra is a clear winner. Note that the base S22 Ultra with 128 GB/8 GB RAM might not fare as well. If the difference is hundreds of dollars, then the Pixel 7 Pro is a compelling phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s3axel:
I have the S9080-variety, which has two SIM slots - same as the S908B (Exynos).... I did not know that there a different SIM configurations of the S908 out there, so many thanks for the comment!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vlubosh:
i have switched from S22u to P7P, maybe if i have option for S22U-snapdragon i will change my mind, but now is P7P a lot better. phone is smooth, camera better, faster, battery life amazing.

If you want root the phone a try other roms, P7P is best choice, you will never suffer of camera features.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
As indicated above, in the UK you only have an option of a Exynos variant, which is renowned for being a laggy, horrible experience, far more so than the S21 Ultra on Exynos ever was.

However, I believe that has been improved with a recent update (see below), but I'd still take the P7P myself.

[Realme 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] magnumoZeus:
I can't remember the working of rom, because i have shifted back to rui 3.0, but as far as i remember everything was working fine.

Yes you will need to downgrade to rui 1.0 A10, that is the most stable version for twrp/orange fox.

You can refer to

this video, for twrp installation, after that i take it that you know how to flash a custom rom using twrp.
[Realme 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] antar243:
Thanks

I don't know but I will look for some toturial

But why did you roll back to ui 3.0?

And how did you roll back?
[Realme 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] magnumoZeus:
According to me rui 3.0 provides the best functionality for this phone, if you are ready to settle for a little less customisation

There is a tool named sp flash tool, it will help you downgrade or upgrade, just use it carefully and do not format anything with it,

Hallo everyone,

i bought myself a used Poco F3 in very good conditions.

I wanted to know if all of the side button's has to have alle the same click feedback.

My On/Off button doesn't have the same nice click feedback like volume up and down button.

have a good day........
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bozinsky73:
on/off button feels a little less stable and solid than volume buttons on my f3..

Okay, thx.

And the click?

Does it have the same click feedback or without a click?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
For me the Power-Button is very tactile, pronounced and audible, but also pleasing, like.. CLICK yes hello you clicked me! 😅

Meanwhile my Volume-Buttons are more gentle and more quiet 🤵🍷

Both the Volume-Buttons & the Power-Button are stable and don't jiggle, they are rocksolid in place and don't move.

Poco F3 bought in EU, manufactured in ~March 2021, iirc
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ChaozzBain:

Okay it should be possible to find these settings in MIUI bit I am not hundert percent sure.

What does the volume+ button do when you hit it ,while the phone is in sleeping mode?

[Realme 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] *OldManLogan*:
1)Most Importanlty You must have to unlock bootloader downgrading to Android 10 based RUI 1.0.

Refer :

2) Install PBRP recovery 3.0.0 using CMD method then without restarting your device Install new recovery TWRP 5.2.10.1 and flash it in PBRP recovery. Then reboot to recovery.

3)While staying in recovery, Insert your SD card which has pixelplusui 5.0 android 13 rom.

Note : Do no restart phone other wise repeat 2 step.

4) Flash Rom clear wipe cache and dont forget to flash TWRP 5.2.10.1 recovery again. Restart Done!

Note Do refer XDA threads only and some youtube channel names Null Exception , Insights4Tech , orailnoor.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lemagedurage:
I couldn't find a straightforward way to clone Android apps, without watermarks and such, so I created clonemy.app to do just that.

Features​

Upload an APK file, choose a name, wait, download the cloned APK

The clone APK has a new package name, which allows for installing the clone alongside the original

Create as many clones as you want

Run multiple different versions of an app alongside each other

Limitations​

XAPK files are currently not supported

Cloning is a complicated process, and some apps are not supported

Technology​

Apps are decompiled, package name is changed, display name is changed, after which the app is recompiled and ready for download

Cloning is created with Python, on top of Apktool and Android build tools

The website is created with Starlette

Ah, I see. The AAPT2 version that's used doesn't do well with "use-native-library" in AndroidManifest.xml. But I'm using the latest version of aapt2, so we'll wait for an update and then fix it.

For now, try an older version of Amazon Prime Video. I tried 3.0.331.22845, which works fine for me.

Works fine with APK Pure version of Amazon Prime Video (Android TV_6.2.3+v14.0.0.601 = https://m.apkpure.com/fr/prime-video-android-tv/com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom/)

Hey Guys, how is your Honor Ultimate managing scratches? i don't use screenprotectors because they don't survive long. My front screen has a lot of tiny scractches already after few months! Only putting it in my front jean pocket alone without keys, nothing! Working at an Office so no important dirt!

Is it gorilla glas? i had lot of phones before doing exactly the same things, but the honor seems getting impacted worse!

And the cameralens at the back has 2 deep scratches! how is this possible?

You experiencing the same thing?
[Honor Magic 4 Ultimate] blackhawk:
Yeah that sucks...

Sand is almost always the culprit. One grain is all it takes. Sand is found just about everywhere.

Grit from granite bedrock will do it too. Pockets tend to collect debris and some of it may be hard enough to scratch glass. Loose pockets work better.

Any fine grit on your finger tip can do it. If water is present it acts as a cutting lubricant for any abrasives present. Brass keys are too soft to scratch glass.

Without a screen protector scratches are par for the course and it doesn't matter which type of glass as all will scratch to a greater or lesser extent.

Finding the right protector and applying are a true pain. I like the water based hydrogel ones.

Selection and availability depends on the phone make/model.

Steps:

2: Tap on "manual test"

3: Tap on "charge and discharge mode"

4: Tap on "charge"
