[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
What phone are you coming from? I went from the Pixel 3XL to the P7P and the P7P is about the same size. It is about the same with, but about a quarter inch taller. I think I have large hands, but I haven't really had an issue with the phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Druantia:
I'm coming from a Huawei P10 (5.1"), so it would be a big difference :) I don't have small hands either, so maybe I just have to get used to it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
With the bezels on the p10 it won't be a huge size difference in the device itself. I think you will really like the 7 Pro vs the 7.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Coming from a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra the p7p seems just right (i.e. smaller)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I prefer the size (and flat screen) of the 7, as for the camera being better, I'd say more flexible not better and so far the zoom is concerned it isn't a patch on what my P6P was, it is ok'ish as 5x but the colours are washed out and not consistant with 1x , it is pretty soft and it is disappointing at any zoom after that, the P6P zoom was very respectable even at 15X. Hopefully Google will work on it.

Having AF on the ultrawide is a negative for me as well, i am getting landscape shots where either the foreground or the background are out of focus depending on if there is something in the frame in the middle to near distance, they should have stuck with a fixed lens at a hyperfocal distance and not bothered with the macro IMHO.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
The 6 and 7 pro's are *frustratingly SMALL*. They advertise a big screen, but they're incredibly NARROW screens and the display comes way too close to the edge of the phone without any bezels at all to hold onto it with.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Druantia:
Macro is a much more important aspect of the camera for me, I would choose the pro because of the macro rather than the zoom functions. I have no problem with the curved display, I really like the look of it. I agree ultrawide shouldn't be autofocus though.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I just think you can achieve the same result by cropping an image and the cropped version looks less of a digital mush, it it was a true macro where you could get the compound eye on a fly etc. then id be all for that.

Only reason i prefer a flat screen is for glass screen protectors and the screen itself is of course a little less prone to damage.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Druantia:
Although I don't have the opportunity to test it myself, according to this site, you get much worse results when you crop the image:

Macro test

I heard that the curve is quite subtle, wonder if it helps with the slipperiness because I usually don't put any case on my phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
When you open it fully you can see just how horrible the Pixel 7 Pro shot is, weirdly you can see more detail in the wood grain on the P7 shot which would imply they got the focusing just out.

As for the slippiness of the phone you will need a case or a skin, it is slippier than a block of wet ice competing in the wet ice championship on national wet ice week.

I've just taken a photo of my avatar on my 1440p monitor at 1X with macro on and 5x (no macro) at as near the closest i could get while keeping focus both are uncropped and as they came off the camera.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chetly968:
+1 for the flatscreen
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vurtomatic:
I upgraded from a OnePlus 3. I was initially concerned about P7P's size but got used to it as most people suggest. I'm still not a fan of its proportions/width and the remote control look but it's one con—everything else about the phone has been a great experience.

Or i should root and overclock my processor
[Realme 7 Questions & Answers] magnumoZeus:
you can do whatever you want, its your device but be very carefull, thesedays manufacturers have made it very hard to do so, and make sure to take backup of every single partition, my recommendation to you is dont do anything unless you are sure of what you are doing,

the custom roms and support for mtk devices are not that great when compared to snapdragon and not worth the risk.

Hi,

I'm developing a software in which at one stage it is meant connect to a ftp server and download a small text file. I've searched around the web now for the last 24 hours for an open source freeware ftp module but I haven't been able to find one that works.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumblefratz:
I would like to use an android as a Windows 10 PC terminal. I'm using a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12 if it matters. It seems like a fairly simple process. Enable Remote Desktop on the Windows 10 PC. Make sure the PC's firewall (and virus protection software) passes Remote Desktop access. Install Remote Desktop Client on the Android and setup the connection to the PC.

The Remote Desktop Client sees the PC, fills in the active user account and requests the user password. I can enter the password but the android does not respond to the "Continue" button and all I can do is cancel out of it. I can also try to edit the PC configuration to setup a user account so that a password does not need to be entered each time but in this case the save button is unresponsive whether or not a password is entered.

This same thing happens whether I select the PC found on the local wifi or I enter the PC's IP address manually (with or without the 3389 port number).

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumblefratz:
Sorry. User error. I was doing something stupid.

Never mind.

These remote desktop options allows you to access Windows from Android easily with just one click.https://www.anyviewer.com/how-to/remote-control-windows-10-from-android-0427.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumblefratz:
Thanks for the link.

My initial problem was just a usage error getting Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to work when on the same network. I fixed that issue and am able to use it to control my PC from an android as long as I'm on the same local network which is useful but I would also like to be able to do it from anywhere on the internet.

Your link led to a discussion of this issue with the possibility of using port forwarding or a VPN to allow access to my PC from an external network with varying degrees of complexity and hacking potential.

The link also discussed using chrome and a google account to access my PC remotely. This is unacceptable because I won't use chrome and have uninstalled it from all my android devices plus although I do have a Google account, I only use it to explicitly download apps from the store and otherwise disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store and will not use any app that requires Google Play Services to function. So this option is out.

The final option requires me to create an account at a third party site and presumably direct all of my traffic through this third party. This too is unacceptable to me.

So the question is, is there a simpler method to access my PC from an android device that's on a different network than having to setup a vpn or enabling port forwarding on my router, that doesn't require registering for and using a third party service to accomplish the goal?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboBeutlinhh:
Hello there, I have been searching for something for hours and just can't figure this out. So I have an old Galaxy Note 3 and want to get Lineageos running on it. Have done this before a few times with other phones, but here from the official guide I have to use Odin.

So what happens is that when the phone ist just regularly on I can see it in Odin, I can also see it when I do adb devices. I have usb debugging on and have set it to trust my computer.

However, as soon as I boot into download mode the phone becomes invisible to the computer, no return to adb, not visible in Odin.

Any ideas what I could be missing? Thanks so much!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Do you see other devices in the device manager?

Show the phone screen in download mode.

What OS on the PC? What version of drivers from Samsung? What variant of Odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboBeutlinhh:
Thank you for your fast reply! Really appreciate it! Of course I left out some info....

In the windows device manager I see other devices, I also see the note 3 when it is just regularly turned on, just not when in download mode. The note shows up in device manager as SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface and as SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device. Using Odin 3.14, also tried 3.13 at some point.

OS in Windows, can't do Odin in others, can I? Played around with Heimdall on a Linux computer, but that did not go anywhere and can't find much documentation. Did not flash anything, just tried to see if I could get it visible.

Version of drivers from Samsung, how do I check that? I downloaded them from Samsung as in the official instructions.

Now the Download screen might be part of the issue here, I have been searching around with that, it seems that the last thing it says is "UDC start" is not what it is supposed to do... should be attached. Thanks again!View attachment 5778441
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
If the phone is in download mode, Windows sees the SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device as a serial bus controller, and Odin sees the COM port.

Install the latest drivers from Samsung (if you have older ones) and the latest adb from Google.

Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboBeutlinhh:
Thank you! Just reinstalled the drivers from samsung (already had them, but can't hurt), restarted, but no difference yet.

To clarify, by "installing the latest adb" you mean download the plattform tools, unzip, and then open a command line in the folder? That allows me to run adb commands, like I can do adb devices and will see the phone, just not when it is in download mode.

When in download mode my device manager does show me a Serial USB Device (COM5), however Samsung is not part of the name. It is the device though, as it disappears when unplugged. But since it does not state that it is a samsung device, I am thinking maybe that points to a driver issue in some way?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboBeutlinhh:
Oh wow, something just happened. I went to the Serial USB Device I talked about, deactivated, re-activated, told it to re-install drivers, than suddenly it moved down the list to the USB controllers and has the exact name you started. And Odin sees it now!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Glad you got it sorted!🙂📱 Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboBeutlinhh:
Thanks again! And in case anyone finds / reads this, it seems that just installing the Samsung drivers might not install them all, checking in the device manager when download mode is active and running an update of drivers from there made the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] watomaigad:
Hello.

So, I recently updated my phone 2 days ago for the first time after 2017, and the battery ran out while it was updating, and then it was boot looping and kept getting stuck at 28%.

I decided to reinstall the os on it (I installed the official rom that the phone came with). At first, everything seemed normal until I plugged it and after a while, the led indicator was showing that it was still charging but after I unplugged it from the charger, the light was still on and the screen was completely black and unresponsive.

After a while, the light shut off and after that, it never came on. I tried everything to get it on again: tried hard rebooting, trying to get into recovery, charging with different types of cables and with wireless charging also, basically every combination that came to mind. When I used the wireless charger, it showed that it was charging, but no signs of life on the phone. Samsung support wasn't that much of a help either, they only asked if I used a cable that worked on it and if the phone was water damaged or had any cracks.

Any help will be appreciated!!!

It wasn't there on the November update either so maybe it was a Google Play System Update thing as I just noticed it updated while my phone was charging.

It's part of Google Play Services, so since that is part of the Google Play System Updates, that sounds about right.

[General Questions and Answers] Nafiganado:
I don't know what has happened to my old Lenovo Vibe X on Android 6.01 and how to resolve the issue without wiping data (no guarantee it would help - I'm now thinking...).

The phone is temporarily at my relative's disposal: i've switched to her Google account to let her use my old phone. She complained the call ring was very weak. I decided to change the ringtone, but I found out that I cannot do it anymore, the Media/Audio/Ringtones folder with standard OGG files is not visible (I cannot select ringtones from there anymore). "Other ringtones" option directs me to some installed Audio player, which does not allow to select any MP3 files in ANY folder (they cannot be played, because the player reports they are not added to Media storage). When I try to use "Scan media" option - it is just stuck. I've tried to use another programs like SD scanner, they either report Media database read error or finally report success status, however the audio files are still not playable.

I've tried to: clear caches (Android and Dalvik), disable / enable Media system app and delete its data.

I've also noticed that NOW my USB Audio player reports that HiRes DAC is not found (!) and does not want to play files in HiRes mode (through the chip instead of generic driver) - actually, my phone does have ES9018 DAC...

I am not sure this problem is related to Media storage, however all this together is very weird.

Any thoughts what could happen and what should I do?

BTW - regarding "HiRes DAC is not found" message... is there a chance that guys who replaced the battery in this smartphone soldered out ES9018 chip??
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Likely a software, firmware or settings issue. Malware could also be the root cause for losing the high resolution DAC.

It's possible the tech damaged this circuit but probably not likely. Obviously if it was working before they got their paws on it then they are likely to blame.
