[OnePlus 12] MyronAz:
I've been noticing a problem where the phone stays on WiFI even when the WiFi signal is so weak that there is no internet connectivity. Eventually if you get far enough away the phone will switch over to mobile data but there is an in-between zone (fairly large) where you have no connectivity (I could turn off WiFI but PITA). One previous phones there were options like "Agressive Switchover" or similar but there doesn't seem to be any similar option on the OP12. There is an option "Mobile Data Always Active" in Developer Options and also "Dual channel network acceleration" ("use WiFi and mobile data at the same time") under WiFi Assistant, but they don't seem to solve the problem. Has anybody else noticed this issue? Is there some option that I am missing or some other way to solve the problem?
[OnePlus 12] Adrianoooo:
I found the same problem too
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Geekfest84:
Has anybody tried the TV out and desktop mode functions on the pixel 8 pro by chance? I'm trying to figure out if using the 8 pro as a Nvidia Geforce Now steaming device connected to a TV is feasible or not. I know the pixel 8's version of desktop mode is rather rudimentary and not exactly up to the level of Samsung Dex for example, but since I don't need it for any productivity work I'm thinking it should suffice for entertainment purposes....? I would connect it to the TV via a usb hub, so I can use ethernet and a usb keyboard & mouse.

What's people's thoughts? Would it work ok? Thanks in advance.
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] Aj2023:
I noticed that most apps by default will be in full screen automatically but other apps (mostly games) crop out the camera area. Is there a way to force a app to be fully immersive similar to on devices from samsung, pixel, etc?
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] mr2kqql:
For originOS go to settings, display & brightness than all the way down to Display at the top of the screen and choose the app you want than pick display the front camera.
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] Aj2023:
Thanks! I was looking for this for a while now.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Hello.

So far I'm very pleased with my recently bought F6. Have only one problem - can't set a melody to a contact. Actually, I can set and it seems to work, but when the contact is calling me, it plays the general melody set for all contacts.

Any ideas? All help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] EllieCat:
Is it a custom melody, like not on the stock rom?

Could be the wrong file type
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Yes, it is a custom melody and it is playing when I check manualy from the contact add ring tone settings. Also the same melody worked on my old Poco x3 pro.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
Try putting it in internal storage, not in a folder then reselect it
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Unfortunately still doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
And with that of the Miui store?
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
What do you mean?
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
Where there are themes.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Doesn't work. Tried all options without recorder.View attachment 6122228
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
Long press on the contact icon /information to check if the authorizations are correct, especially notifications.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Checked - all is permitted including norifications.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
Did you do it like this (it may be different).

Go to Contacts, click on name, scroll down to More, should state Default ringtone, click on arrow, select something different from list, go back to see if Default ringtone has changed to the one selected, repeat for the other contacts
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
Don't have such an option...
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
It was with certain versions of MIUI and I don't have a device with hyperOS on hand, I'll check tomorrow if it's the same problem on the 12 pro.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
I have just tested, only works with audio and sound files but it is a device released with Miui updated to HyperOS.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
The problem is that I can set the wanted melody and it's shown when I check and work when I test it in Contacts/Organise tab/Contact Ringtones. But when the contact is calling me, it plays the general melody.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
Yep, I understood and it's exactly the same problem on the device tested but only with themes.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
I've tried every option, but unfortunately had no luck.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
You can report this to Xiaomi and with a lot of luck you will get a response.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
I've already did it.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] abelkov:
@NOSS8 , the problem was in me, dublicating my contacts while synchronizing them. I've deleted the exact contact's duplicates and everything is fine now. Thanks for the suggestions. ;)
[Android Head-Units] jaysonwold:
I installed a Junsun 8 Core 64GB head unit in my 2008 BMW E93. I cannot connect the unit to the bluetooth on my phone. I have turned off the car's bluetooth, erased the BMW connections on my phone. The unit will attempt to pair with my phone. When I select CarPlay it connects for a fraction of a second and then disconnects. I feel like I have tried every setting possible. Any ideas why I cannot get it to connect?

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today

Given the lack of support from Google on Android 11, LineageOS and crDroid have stopped maintaining their respective A11 codebase. However, some folks think that the old devices that had A11 as last supported Android version, still deserve the effort to backport the security patches to the extent possible.

One of this efforts, is an updated unofficial crDroid fork started by @aoleary which is taking place at https://github.com/crdroid11 and is the base on which I'll be compiling this updated unofficial crDroid version

Features:

https://github.com/crdroidandroid/crdroid_features/blob/11.0/README.mkdn

Flashing Instructions:

You can follow the instructions on LineageOS wiki to flash crDroid on your A5. I'm currently using crDroid's Recovery to do so.

Pre-installation:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] metxas:
First of all, I apologize, a long time ago there was a lineage18.1 topic on this page with a completely correct installation procedure and I made it work for a long time, as I have been seeing the updates for lineage 19 and 20, I have tried updating it, but Neither with the .img here nor with the ones in Andy's repository have I managed to get the wifi to work correctly. The problem is that I recently tried again and now I am unable to leave the tablet in the state I had it in (lineage 18.1+MicroG+Magisk), I am currently working with a backup that I made at some point when I was testing the 19 I guess, but now the tablet is very unstable. I would like to put it back in a lineage that works (even if it is 18) but to be able to put some gaps in it, because now it won't let me do it in any version. The old files that I do keep, luckily, are the following:

-twrp_X606F_11.img

-lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img

-vbmeta.img

-Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip

-and the gapps and magisk

I would also like to know if there is any other app to manage root, since magisk does not install correctly from what I have seen and it creates a problem with the BT (slight but annoying)

[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ryan_B_5:
Just purchased a Galaxy S23 with the 128gb storage option due to my budget which of course was a bit cheaper than the 256gb storage option.

My question is, is 128gb storage enough?

I don’t take videos and VERY rarely take photos. Don’t play games or anything like that.

The only thing I do is make phone calls, check emails, and browse the internet and some storage of documents like PDFs and Office documents.

Will I be fine with 128gb storage?

The only thing that would be concerning is the updates.

Would appreciate your feedback on this.

Anyways, if i do get a new phone in the future, I will be getting the 256gb storage option instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] note11.hype:
whyd you even get an s23 if you onlyl call email and browse?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ryan_B_5:
Because of the small size and I like the form factor. I also plan to store some documents as well in the Files app.

I would just like a simple yes or no answer. Would this 128gb be enough?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] note11.hype:
For the things you said yes 128 will be enough
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ryan_B_5:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Gueste4555:
Yes indeed for your needs this is enough. Everyone does it with their own financial means. But it is certain that 256 GB would have been better for the updates. But if you don't do much with it then 128 GB will be just right.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] note11.hype:
No problem!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ryan_B_5:
I always had phones (mostly iPhones) only with 128gb and never had issues. The updates on iPhones were sometimes around 3gb in size, and never had an issue with low storage.

I tend to even uninstall the default apps which I don’t have to use on phones. Same with the S23, I uninstalled a lot default apps which I don’t plan to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Gueste4555:
yes it's really interesting to deflate unnecessary things from your device. This frees up memory and storage. This is particularly beneficial for low-end devices (especially with very little RAM).
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iceepyon:
Yeah, for your usage the 128GB version of the SGS23 would be more than enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Optovidere:
I have the 128 and have regretted it since week 1. It will be full before you can spell "Onedrive" which is fitting since this app takes up 60% of all my internal storage WITHOUT being able to use the stored online documents, videos, pictures and stuff on the samsung internal apps (example: I have stored 20 gb of photos but i can only see the last 50 that were not uploaded to onedrive yet). Serious regret from my side. Also, adding an SD is not possible with the s23.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Two potential concerns, SOT time and ram.

12gb is my minimum for ram on an Android.

Almost never is all used but it keeps it running fast and smooth. Battery usage is very little even for this older version.

For less you could have gotten a used N10+ with a minimum of 256gb plus 12gb of ram and expandable storage up to 1tb.

Personally even with expandable storage 256gb is my minimum. One of many reasons I keep running the N10+'s. SOT when optimized is 10-13 hours.

My typical flash memory usage. It's high...

Typical ram usage:

View attachment 6122677
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iceepyon:
The owner of this thread is looking for a pocketable device. I think that the Note 10+ may not be suitable for them
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Yeah, but it's a lot of bang for the buck now.

They're going used for around $250.

It has a one handed mode too.

The smaller N10 has lack luster performance all way round which is why I don't recommend it.

Right now my Download folder alone is at 32gb.

Not worrying about storage space is a big deal.

There's the S series as well but they lack the spen which is a gem. Smart Capture and the bt remote shutter release I use constantly.

Lots of other Samsung's that have more ram and memory at a better price.

Having expandable storage means you can carry your whole high res music collection in your pocket.

Mine is 340gb, mostly wav and flac. No internet connection needed, nothing beats Poweramp for a player. Expandable storage also means having a separate data drive to protect critical data. Something you can't do on an iPhone or newer Samsung flagships. I can do a full reload offline with no PC because of this, even all my apps. That all makes this older Samsung flagship a running machine... and after almost 5 and 3 years respectively both my N10+'s have had zero repairs*, and the displays are still perfect. They're very long lived if cased.

*2 battery replacements for the oldest. It has close to 10k hours SOT on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iceepyon:
I agree that the Note 10+ is a really good mobile device for the price these days. Heck even the Note 20 Ultra is a exceptional device for the current price, and it has a MicroSDCard slot.

I currently have a Fold 3 with 512GB and so far only use around 200GB of the internal storage, which I am fine with.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
The hump back with the spen on the wrong side N20U. I had a choice between it and another N10+. The N20U lost because of form factor; it's thicker, heavier and even to this day the N10+ still has the best display/bezel ratios.

The N20U has the first variable frequency display. Color accuracy/calibration and WB are excellent on the N10+; on the N20U that took a hit because of the variable refresh rate. They are extremely hard to color calibrate accurately.

The other issue is 5G which is an early implementation and for me not needed. As it turns out I like the Snap 855 as it's a good balance of power and SOT. The 865 maybe more desirable but never got to play with it.

After the N20U Samsung went off the rails completely. A couple of flagship chipsets were dogs.

After Android 10 Google also turned into a mess. That's the break point for the Android OS, if I go higher it would cripple Poweramp, I'm using version 906-911. It's fully functional with the files and has the newer parametric equalizer.

Also use the free version of WPS office, the only free fully functional Android office app. It won't run on Android 11. I still use Android 9 and 10.

After the N20U I lost interest in the Samsung flagships. Samsung and Android >10 remind me more of an iPhone than an Android.

Samsung didn't modify (or couldn't) the higher versions of Android enough to make them desirable, dropped expandable storage, and went mp/AI nutz with the cams. The N10+ cams are more than adequate and capture good images.

The N10+ ( Android 9/10) is zenith point of Samsung and Android in my opinion. So I run dinosaur work horses, may even buy another new N10+ as they are loaded with Android 10. The Exynos variant's hardware and heatsink are less desirable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Lolrelic12:
I have recently found an old Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 (SM-T285) running Android 5.1. After performing a factory reset, I got FRP locked and was asked to sign in to my Google account. I still have access to both accounts previously logged in on this tablet, but when I reached the 2FA step, it only says "Wait a second..." then never shows me any 2FA options at all.

I waited for over 2 hours before deciding to leave it there overnight. When I woke up next morning, my session expired, and I was logged out.

I have tried removing 2FA on one of my accounts, only for it to say I can't login due to a recent password change. I'm told to wait 24h before trying again, but it's already 3 days, and yes, I did wait for more than 24h between each attempt.

This has led me to try various FRP bypass methods, but none of it worked. ADB couldn't get the device attached since USB debug was off with no way to turn it on. Flashing a stock ROM via Odin3 wasn't successful either. Most other methods (SamFW FRP tool, SamFirm AIO, etc.) required me to open the emergency dialer, which there was no option for.

I have tried actually changing my password on my primary account to see if it would work. This is a device I was planning to use for some hobby projects. Losing access to it would be a huge loss for me as a university student. It was working fine before, now I really regret having reset it at all. If anyone could help me with this, I would be very grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
After all the rumours and leaks, the Fold6 has been announced.

Anyone here going to upgrade?

I have to say, I'm underwhelmed so far. Even from the F3, I don't see much to entice me to upgrade.

It's only because my F3 screen is now starting to crack in the creases in a couple of places.

I may hold off for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
I have booked my spot to play with the demo of the Fold 6 at my local Samsung Experience Store already.

While I agree with you that the Fold 6 seems to be an small incremental upgrade over the Fold 5 and even my Fold 3. My Fold 3 is working fine as I have already had the main display replaced once within the warranty period, and the screen protector of the main screen replaced twice (once under warranty and the 2nd time out of my own pocket). My Fold 3 has been upgraded to OneUI 6.1.1 and has all the Google and Samsung Galaxy AI features. Which I don't use much besides the photo editing AI features. My battery life is starting to degrade a little, which is why I am considering upgrading to the Fold 6.

That said I have seen people who are still using the original Fold, Fold 2, Fold 3 and Fold 4 happily around the streets.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Yes, I forgot to mention my battery. I have noticed a steep decline in it's health in the past 2-3 months. I used to get to bedtime with ~15-20%. I now have to charge it earlier in the day for it to last.

I also agree about the software updates. One UI 6.1.1 is great. I'm not really interested in the new AI features other than the cut down versions I already have.

I'll still wait to see what Google offer, but I may just stick with my F3 and get a screen and battery replacement. But that will be ~GBP600 :-O
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
For that price you might as well get a new cell! It isn't worth it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Too true, my friend. I'm a bit flabbergasted that Samsung are charging GBP500 for an interior screen for the F3.

I've been eying up:

the OnePlus Open - but it doesn't have wireless charging.

The Pixel Fold - but the reports and reviews say show it can have issues not folding flat

Honor Magic V2 - doesn't have wireless charging

So, fingers crossed for the Pixel 9 fold.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
Personally I would avoid Pixel device, as Google has no idea how to produce devices as they are a software company. I still don't know how the Nexus series of devices made it onto the open market as they were sold exclusively to developers.

I have heard good things with regards to both the OnePlus Open and Honor Magic V2. The Honor Magic V3 will be released pretty soon in China so expected to be released globally soon after.

I have never been a fan of wireless charging as it heats up the battery too quickly and may cause more wire and tire on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] nono52:
my fold has always worked very well and I came across a good series for the screen, no problem. but a month ago I had the famous hinge flex cable problem out-of-warranty, no recourse anymore. the repair in store cost me 300E. the battery is starting to get tired as said above. I'm going to decide to replace it for the 6 before having any other problem. If I can give some advice, take into consideration the famous problem of hinge flex cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] beejmeister:
I pulled the trigger straight from Samsung. With discounts and trade in of my Z3 I got it for $899... consider it a decent upgrade for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
Yeah, I had the same issue too. I would advise that you keep your Foldable away from any magnets. As that was what damages my flex cable, but I was lucky and got mine repaired in warranty. Ever since I got my Fold 3 repaired, I have been religious about keeping it as far way from any magnets as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] beejmeister:
Very odd... I mount my F3 on a very strong magnet the entire time I'm driving... a lot! and had it for 2.5 years and no problem.
