yes I check on router - and I checked on mobile data with everything blocked vs what my provider said I would have used vs the adguard statistics and it matched well enough.

That they hid the VPN only option but it still exists kinda confirms how far they went. But then with the rights that some apps have it's clear they sniff your phone calls, messages, and chinese social media apps. Not so sure about if they break into whatsapp, signal and so on too. I think not but wouldn't feel safe about it (as long as you download the app from play store - if you download from vivo appstore or this system restore/easyshare whatever it's called you get the chinese version that uses chinese notifications and spies on you. Easyshare really should only be used to transfer pictures/videos from an old phone or PC but 100% not apps as they aren't shared but installed from vivo appstore).

Honor Magic5 Pro no longer the #1 in DXOMark rating. https://www.dxomark.com/oppo-find-x6-pro-camera-test/
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
But must say that both X90Pro+ and X6 Pro really struggle with the skin colour/exposure of the coloured person. Iphone 14 looks way more pleasing (and well Pixel in that discipline is king anyhow). Also in basically all examples where they have X90 Pro+ and X6 Pro the X6 Pro trumps the X90 Pro+ by miles... X90 Pro+ pictures all look like they need some photoshopping before being presentable..

And the focus speed/accuracy seems to be improved too quite a lot (see old measurements of X90 Pro+).

And yeah - same old problem on preview HDR. The much better preview on Iphone is one of the reasons why anyone can get good pictures on it - vs having to learn and guess on most Android phones. Especially with HDR not being the best thing for any photo (often kills athmosphere/style)
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] bmw320cd:

ps: and I can post tons of photo comparisons from an UNPAID guy who buys (with his money) the phones to compare, between the top cameraphone (mate50 pro , 12s ultra , s23 ultra , x6 pro , magic pro) in various conditions
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Dayuser:
I wait GSMArena review for X6 Pro. Then it's good to say is X6 Pro camera better than X90 Pro+
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] :
Sad part is and even then they won't believe you.😂
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
Well on most reviews I've seen X6 pro loses on portrait shots of Eurasian people vs X90pp but on most other things is better or at least as good. And again my main gripe on X90pp is that the pics simply need retouch because they aren't good out of the box. Natural mode is boring but good quality while vivid is impossible comic look...

That's why I now only use gcam but again gcam is horrible on colours and needs retouch white balance mostly too but easier to move just white balance but get the rest right vs the stock camera that needs fixing exposure all the time (and again kinda impossible to know before taking the pic how exposure will turn out with HDR activated. With it off it's fine)...

And yeah I care less about quality itself but about good looking pictures/ambiance. On easy situations most cameras are very equal anyhow.

X90PP stock camera is still king of how most Asian girls want to look in pictures. 90% of them love the beauty mode cause make-up or face surgery isn't needed. Anyone Asian looks like a film star with it on... The beauty mode isn't optimized for non east Asians at all however (better turn it off, or off anything but skin smoothing).

Oh and sales numbers are kinda out for 1" sensor phones, and Xiaomi used over 2/3 of all 1" sensors pre 13 Ultra since last autumn. With 13 Ultra it's expected to even increase. BBK flagships sold really bad in China and 90 pro Worldwide.

And it's clear that in low light the x6 pro ultrawide and tele just trump other phones. Much faster lenses and bigger better sensors. However I would not care less for it with China OS. Also Xiaomi 13 Ultra again got confirmed to have variable aperture in main and will too have great sensors on ultrawide and tele. For photo it should be the new king to beat. Spec wise anyhow (well video is a bigger disaster usually on Xiaomi).
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] jericho246:
I couldn't resist any longer and ordered the Magic5 Pro in meadow green color. Should be with me by the end of the week. The price was decent in my opinion, and I really liked the Huawei phones I had in the past so it'll be nice to rediscover an Android skin (very) similar to EMUI.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] :
Good luck with it. I hope you'll be happy.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
Lmao, no.

Without Vivo's propriety camera chip + the Sony camera sensor, Honor is already garbage.

Vivo also has world's best cooling too. No Dolby Vision on Honor. Lower pixel density screen on Honor plus the weird screen resolution. Missing an entire telephoto sensor on the Honor. No Zeiss optics, no T* coating, no 8K video, only 12MP selfie camera vs 32MP on Vivo. No 32-bit/192kHz audio, no USB 3.2 and slower charging. Literally everything is different.

Plus X90PP price is already as low as 899€. I got my 512GB for 859€ after the 150€ refund.

Honor want 1200€? What?? The only thing similar about these phones is they are both from Chinese company and have same CPU.

Problems with warranty? Just buy from a reputable seller like gizoo. Problem with China? Umm, Honor's parent company is Chinese lol.

Honor has and always will be the budget **** Western stripped down Huawei clone. You are comparing apples to oranges.

I would only ever go for a Huawei over Vivo. Yet Huawei refuse to sell their best in Europe and no 5G anyway. So screw them.

Edit: Also trusting DXOMark LOL?!
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
Alone your price comparison is ridiculous. You compare some import price of china OS to a global version. You can buy a China OS Honor too - and the price then is nearly the same. The audio recording on X90PP is clearly nothing good (no matter what codec you throw at it except if you use an external microphone), there are plently 12MP camera sensors way better than the 32MP sensor the 90PP uses (which is used also in plenty mid range BBK phonese for selfie sensor). I haven't really found any review where the selfie sensor of 90PP was winning against any other 2022/2023 flagship phones selfie sensor - no matter the megapixels...

Oh and if you're so kind, please link me a cable that allows both fast charge on 90PP AND USB 3.2 - I guess I'm just too damn stupid to find one.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] franagan75:
This live is a great terminal and very complete at all levels, please do not say more stupidities, thanks
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
The cable it comes with is fine, it does both USB 3.2 plus 6A charging. Also not surprising that you can't find a cable for the phone that fits its specs. Here, this also works fine: https://tietotekniikkatavaratalo.fi...elements-linq-usb-c-to-c-3-2-pd-100w-cbl.html

You compared 3 of the what, 12 points I made. 3x less MP camera better huh? You should go buy an iPhone then with that attitude 🤣

Yes why should I pay 24% VAT on a phone I can get for cheaper? The price alone is a huge difference. I'm paying 24% more for less.

Ask yourself instead why anyone should pay 1200€ for all those downgraded features I mentioned. 😂 The 32bit DAC sounds great to me!
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
So then maybe you can link me a fast charge capable USB 3.2 cable? Or backup that ridiculous price claim? X90PP in China goes for 6000RMB - Magic 5 Pro can be found for around 6200RMB... Import prices are accordingly.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
The cable that comes with the 90PP surely can fast charge - but it surely is only doing USB 2.0 speeds. Well documented here in older threads.

The cable you linked is PD3.0 compatible, clearly not Vivo Fast charge because they have different PIN configuration. That's the whole problem about the Vivo or Oppo as well as older Xiaomi fast charging. It's not only about the voltage/ampere. A PD 3.0 compatible cable will charge at around 18-19w max (same as a PD 3.0 charger with the Vivo cable).
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
If you compare prices, then compare prices of both phones imported. I just looked up the pricing on jd.com - the magic 5 pro costs 5199RMB while the Vivo X90 Pro+ costs 5999RMB. The Magic 5 Pro actually is a lot cheaper, anyone can see you compare apples to oranges. If your horizon ends at Trading Shenzen and they don't have Magic 5 Pro and then you compare with Magic 5 Pro list price - well it surely does one thing. It shows your skills and working attitude.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] franagan75:
You can give away the vivo and buy another mobile and problem solved if so bad is the vivo

[General Questions and Answers] Cheesytators:
Hi all,

Recently I've had the Pixel 7 Pro, S22 Ultra and S23+ and every phone has issues keeping a 5G signal. I use AT&T and my iPhone 14 Pro Max holds 5G just fine. In the same exact spot with the Android phones I will get full bars and 5G will work for a few minutes and then stop. Signal bar stays full but no data will pass. I have a brand new SIM with each phone I've tried but it seems to be an issue with Android and the cell network from what I can gather. Restarting the phone does not help but switching in and out of airplane mode will do the trick for a few minutes. My cell plan is the highest tier plan that includes 5G. I use Android 13, OneUI 5.1 on the S23+.

Anyone else having a similar issue?
[General Questions and Answers] Cheesytators:
Hi, thanks for the response. I have narrowed this down to a tower issue. Where I work we have a cell site installed by AT&T just for our building due to coverage issues inside. Anytime I am away from work, 5G and 5G+ are both working great. We have placed a call to AT&T to see if they can come and see what's going on. The only weird thing is that the iPhone 14 will hold 5G and work fine in our building but not the Android phone.

Thanks again.

Google is going to replace Reminders with Tasks as of 06 March.

I have started using Tasks to be ready, but I found an issue with notifications: they do not have any sound.

If I have installed both CALENDAR and TASKS, the notifications of a TASK (ACTIVITY) arrives from the TASKS app but without sound, or rather: the first one arrives with sound, the others arrive silently.

Do the following tests:

1. Install CALENDAR and TASKS and enable TASK notifications in both CALENDAR and TASKS

2. create three TASKS (ACTIVITIES) one after the other 2 minutes apart: the first notification arrives from TASKS with sound, the others without sound

3. uninstall and reinstall TASKS and enable the notifications of the TASKS (ACTIVITIES) both in CALENDAR and in TASKS

4. create only one TASK (ACTIVITY) in 2 minutes: notification arrives from TASKS with sound

5. change the TASK (ACTIVITY) by moving the time forward two minutes: the notification arrives from TASKS but without sound

If I have only CALENDAR installed, the notifications of the TASK (ACTIVITIES) arrive instead from CALENDAR and always with the sound.

[Oppo Find N] Find N77:
Little Trick!

In order to receive more notifications than the 5 you set yourself, you have the option of loading the Blackberry Hub+ and the associated services from the PlayStore. You can manage many accounts there. works perfectlyfor me!
[Oppo Find N] frostywinter:
Great Idea!
[Oppo Find N] lombrozo:
Isn't it just a notification 'watcher'? Those apps would still need to show notifications to appear in the Blackberry Hub+ inbox???
[Oppo Find N] Find N77:
No, the hub accesses the accounts directly, not the system.

Is like your mail program that accesses your mail account.

Look on Screenshot, it is Not the Gmail icon at the top.
[Oppo Find N] lombrozo:
I can't see a way to configure WhatsApp for example - surely it requires me to approve access or hook it up somehow?
[Oppo Find N] Find N77:
I must look and test it, the N is not my daily driver.

WA is at the time on iPhone.....😉
[Oppo Find N] lombrozo:
Most of the chat apps (WhatsApp, Line...) Have auto-start set by default (without being one of the 5 custom auto-start apps), and therefore notifications will show, and be 'captured' by the Blackberry Hub. But for example, I just added Google Chat, which DOESN'T have auto-start set, and it doesn't show in Blackberry Hub, because there are no notifications...
[Oppo Find N] Supa_Fly:
I'm not sure I like the solution or workaround of yet another app to deal with notifications that should be a standard solution, aka OS and base UI API, from Google AndroidOS itself.

I'm fully aware of BlackBerry and its history, yet how up to date is this BlackBerry Hub and what's the official word from BlackBerry update future updates? If nothing official this would be a temporary solution.

Is Oppo taking user feedback on all channels (aka official support forums, support email/phone, twitter, etc)? They already have a global 'Ambassador' program to help launch and sales of the Find N2 Flip.
[Oppo Find N] rathian:
CN ROM have limitations because Chinese app developers are garbage that stuffs apps full of offer notifications auto start and push for more monetization.. if u seen the china app market, it's 90% junk apps there that ask for every single permission possible to harvest ur data and sell openly to the big firms..
[Oppo Find N] frostywinter:
I tried this on my Find N2 (fold) no luck in getting other apps configured to receive notifications - the only one I could get to work was GMAIL..

Anyone else have any luck in getting other apps working using the Blackberry HUB such as Facebook etc?

[Android TV General] ohenryx:
I have an Xiaomi Android TV box, with an external USB hard drive, 1 TB. I purchased this, copied a number of movies on it, installed VLC player, and then took it over to my girl friend’s house. She does not have internet, and doesn’t want internet, and I wanted to be able to watch movies with her at her house.

This has worked rather well for the past 7 or 8 months. Occasionally, I will bring over my notebook and copy 1 or more new movies over to that 1 TB usb hard drive. Yesterday, I copied 4 new movies over and only 1 of the 4 showed up when I looked at the list of Videos under VLC. And yes, I did a “Refresh” operation in VLC. I also tried the MX player, same results. I disconnected the hard drive, reconnected to my notebook, and verified the files are there. I powered the Xiaomi box off and on, several times.

I don’t have this equipment in front of me, but the 1 TB hard drive has about 600 GB of movie files, average size of maybe 2 to 4 gigs. So somewhere between 150 and 300 movies, and the number of files being higher (.srt, etc). Is there an upper limit to the number of files that Android TV can deal with? If not, what else can I try for troubleshooting?

To delete your hotmail inbox, you have to remove your Windows Live ID from messenger. (I think it's called switch Live ID)

You can't delete the default outlook inbox, it for when you synch with outlook (even if you don't have it)

Hi everyone,

I would like to go back to non coolwalk version of android auto.

I read that I should download 8.4. version. So I have downloaded respective .apk and the installation will never finish. It ends with error message that the package is not valid.

My samsung is arm64-v8a so I made sure to download the right version. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...auto-8-4-624304-release-android-apk-download/

How should I proceed now? Any idea?

There are a few wallpaper apps out there that change the see based on the current weather (adds rain or snow, sun position, changes sky from clear blue to cloudy, etc.) But so far they all changed based on the CURRENT weather. Heck, I can look out the window and see the current weather. So really it's just a gimmick and not really useful.

What would be useful is if the wallpaper changed based on the short-term forecast as to what the weather will be in 1 or 2 hours from now. Then if I'm planning on going outside shortly, I quick glance while using my phone give me a general indication if the weather is about to change.
