Rocking a Moto Z2 Play here. I had an iPhone once but fuck they're expensive.

Been on 1+ since a few years, liking it but now on 6t and not having a headphone jack fucking sucks! Really the worst trend to happen in phones.

Leaked Galaxy Note 10 renders comfirms no headphone jacks

well that fucking sucks

Yeah. You think with the praise for Samsung keeping the headphone jacks for the S10, they could just keep them for the Galaxy Note 10.

yeah

Neat thread, I have a Galaxy S9+- got this LED case which is great

I want to buy a new Android tablet. Huawei is out after recent events, any recommendations?

JMTHEFOX said:
I heard that ASUS Zenpad 8 is a decent tablet, though I haven't owned an ASUS tablet in my life.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is also good, but the price can be expensive if buying the Samsung keyboard case for it.

These are my main options in my country:

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 (2018) at around 200 euros
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (2017) at around 320 euros
Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (2019) at around 360 euros.

...and an iPad (2018) at around 280 euros.

I'm going to be using it as mainly a media & internet device with a bit of typing here and there. No gaming. The first Tab A is the cheap option, it's decent but the other two have far better screens. The S3 has a 4:3 aspect ratio which seems like it would be terrible for Youtube and movie watching.

Alexandros · Jun 8, 2019

JMTHEFOX said:
Hm.... Sounds like you should get the S5e for power or Tab A for budget.

Yeah, probably.

I'll be rocking my LG G7ThinQ until it drops dead or I do. I just need to find a better case and a new screen protector, as my screen protector is, well garbage, having split in several spots.

Don't want to go with an Otter because while it'll work, it will double the size of the phone. Looked into AUG, but they dropped their G7 ThinQ line of cases

Removing the headphone jack sucks balls.

I get weird stops with Discord on my S9, when switching between emoji picker-keyboard fast sometimes the App just hangs for 2-5 seconds. Tried clearing cache to no help.
Anyone else?

S9+ user here, can't replicate this. Performance on Discord has always been top notch for me.

Will try reinstalling, thanks.

I think the wife and I are going to move from iOS to Android next purchase/update. We don’t really use or have an Apple ecosystem at home or work, so we just want a change.

bbq of doom · Jun 18, 2019

I've had an iPhone since 2014ish (whenever the 6/6 Plus came out) and am kinda itching to return, although that would run absolutely roughshod over my social life.

That being said, the newest Pixel leaks are interesting? As a devoted Nexus fanboy in a past life, I don't think I could stomach TouchWiz (unless it's gotten significantly better, which I hope it has) or any of the other skins/forks/etc.

Got a Huawei Mate 20 Pro now and the difference from the LG G5 is massive!
The camera is fantastic. Look at this shot I took yesterday:

Yo, that shot looks sick!

Thank you!
Here's another one because I feel generous

Pogi · Jun 27, 2019

With price being equal, Pixel 3A or Samsung Galaxy S10e (SD)? Both brand new.

NarohDethan · Aug 8, 2019

That Note 10+ is sexy af, but it way, way too expensive. I would rather buy a 2080Ti if I'm spending that kind of cash.

Le Pertti · Dec 14, 2019

Whoa just woke up and 60% if my battery had drained during the night and it seems it's Google Play Services that caused it. Tried to google it and seems it a common problem but none of the old tips seem to work. Anyone here have any experience with the problem?

So, my Xiaomi Mi A2 was acting up today getting in an endless loop where it froze after boot & unlock with no time to do anything like factory reset or whatever else I attempted. I thought some app update borked since that's the last thing I had left it doing only to find it turned off for no reason. I don't really use anything but boomer social media and email and bank apps and what not and a few legit store apps like food delivery and local price comparison site and stuff. Safe mode boot did the same too but I eventually managed to factory reset without going in normal boot, just the android bios type thing you can go to.

The process went smoothly but I'm thinking I somehow got a virus rather than a different sort of bork because this photo is the last one in my google photos now I've restored everything to how it was but google searching for it doesn't help (it's a joker) and tineye also can't find any instance of it at all. This is it:

Virus scanned it first of course. Anybody seen it? I never had anything like this happen before, I just occasionally use antivirus on my PC (just to be sure nothing got through, switching between AVG and other free stuff depending on the era, nowadays it's Malwarebytes I employ) but haven't gotten any issues since like the 00s, I know my way around stuff, what to do, what not to do, etc., granted I'm not that into phones and only ever change device after serious hw issues etc., plus I don't yet use adblock on my phone even though I did switch from Chrome to Firefox recently to match what I use on PC.

Oh I haven't yet restored it all, maybe it's just something sent on viber or something and it auto backed up, I have that set for the group with my brother and his wife and they send my niece photos etc., so maybe false alarm, I'm doing app updates now and will be getting the rest apps later so I'll see then. It was suss

And yah it's carnival/halloween type days here now so probably something like that. Never mind for now! Edit: maybe not, can't find it in any convo now...
