    Hi, I have an LG stylo 4 which comes with an overview key on the bottom right of the phone. This feature tends to use a lot of battery resources which I have to clear out whatever is listed in it on a daily basis. According to LG, it has to be done manually. Do anyone know if this is true? If it is, is there an app that can do it? TYVM

  5. Google Camera 7.2 (Play Store and elsewhere) - Thoughts/Opinions?

    by PGHammer

    As has been circulated, Google Camera 7.2 is available on the Play Store (no longer lashed to the Pixel 4 - and possibly not to Android 10, either). Have you tested it, what Android device did you test it on, etc.? I started the thread; therefore, I'll lead off. I have it on Android 10, on my daily-driver Pixel 3a (sargo). It required no mods. Most pleasant surprise/improvement (compared to the same app in stock Android) - NightSight. This feature improved still more over the same feature in Camera 7.1; especially for low-light indoor pictures. Coming up is THE season for such - Christmas/Yule in particular. (Before, I l…

    I know there are several out there. But everything I see is shady, I don't get what this or that means. Here is the phone I am trying to customize. ASUS Z00TD: http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=4868-a306-3855-870856b0f887 I see Lineage guides, but they do not tell you EVERYTHING you need to know. https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3666743 Can someone run me through this, or maybe I can just send it to you to get modded. (Did for a PSP once, friend installed like 100 enulation games on it, from NES, SNES, GB...)

  8. Moto X4 doing odd things

    by jnelsoninjax

    Not really sure what else to title this post. The issue is that whenever I get voicemail, I do not get notification, also I have noticed other apps that are allowed to send notifications, don't (like my banking app is setup to send notification about certain events, but it doesn't) I have done a factory reset on the phone, and it is not rooted or running a custom ROM. I also have switched carriers, and the issue persists. I would love to be able to fix these issues, but I have no idea what is causing them.

  9. Looking for a smartphone, that has a functional version of OneNote (functional search)

    by David2234

    Hello, I've stumbled on the above-mentioned thread, when googling "Best phone for OneNote search", and thought I might as well give it a try. I'm looking for a smartphone (not iOS), on which a functional version of OneNote, is available. I have an iPhone 5, where the OneNote app works alright, but it's major, and for me most crucial 'shortcoming' in its functionality, is that it simply doesn't have a working search function whatsoever. It takes forever for the search to show relevant results and from my experience, it just never happens. So in other words, on iPhone 5, it is completely and entirely broken, making the app close to absolutely useless…

  12. Got a Pixel 4 XL

    So, finally upgraded from a Nexus 6p. N6P was a good phone but started to show its age. Had the phone for about 4yrs and the longest I have ever kept a phone. It did everything I needed but after 4yrs, started getting sluggish and battery life started to really suck. So I got the Pixel 4xl 128gb as an early Xmas/Bday gift from my GF. So far, I am liking it really well. Been messing around with it off and on for about an hour and still at 100 percent. My N6P would be down 10 or more percent by now. I have read a lot about battery life issues on the Pixel 4xl but I don't see myself having much of a problem. And battery life is really dependent on usage.…

  16. Weird screen issue - Samsung S9

    by sini
    • 10 replies
    • 3.9k views

    Experiencing an odd issue with my Samsung Galaxy S9+. Have Googled and looked for answer but can't find anything. Basically, the screen works fine. But if it locks either via timeout or locking manually it will glitch if the screen turns on again within about 60 seconds or so. Sometimes it gets a green hue but everything is visible, other times it's all black with some green lines at the top. But it only happens if the screen hasn't been off for a certain time. If I wait a minute or so it'll work fine, every single time. It'll never glitch if it's been off for 60 seconds or there about. Appreciate any ideas or suggestions as a resolution.

    I had a LG G5 for 15 months. Three nights ago, the phone button suddenly will not place phone in sleep/screen off, so I ran the battery dry then charged phone. G5 is now Fully charged, screen indicator and green charged light. Power button does not work, does not turn phone on. I followed troubleshooting steps, nothing worked. Salesman at the store said its a known G5 problem. I am on the hook for $400 for "hardware upgrade" Naturally I do not truth salesmen. Was he talking the truth of the LG G5 ? Is there any Android phones to avoid buying ? I found super cheap Nokia phones running Win 8.1. iphones are too expensive and no …

    Hi guys. I’m having a problem with my SD card. Notifications of “Preparing SD card” and “SD card removed” keep popping up repeatedly (milliseconds apart) and all my data has disappeared. I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 and a 32GB Samsung Evo+ Micro SDHC Class 10 memory card, which I’ve had for about 2 years now. No physical damage to the SD card, looks brand new as I haven’t touched it since putting it into my phone. I’ve turned my phone off and on, rebooted it, restarted it, dusted the card, inserted it into a different phone but the same thing happens. I’ve also tried connecting my phone to a laptop to view folders on the card but it only picks up the phone’s internal m…

  24. Always On Display driving me up the wall with adaptive brightness in my Pixel 3

    I think I found a command to stop the AOD on my Pixel from switching brightness levels every few minutes, it is a source of great annoyance since I have it sitting on a wireless cradle on my desk facing me. adb shell settings put global always_on_display_constants "screen_brightness_array=-1:10:10:10:10" Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/customize-google-pixel-2-always-on-display-brightness/ The above sets the brightness levels the same, using 10 for the "adaptive" behavior of the AOD (which is NIGHT, LOW, HIGH, SUN), which actually does not disable adaptive brightness for the AOD even if you manually toggle it off in display settings …

    Two nights ago I noticed that my Galaxy S8 "wobbled" when I put it down on the coffee table (it is usually stood in a Samsung Fast Charge cradle on my desk). I thought this was odd, but I also noticed the official Samsung silicone case I have for it, no longer completely covers the volume rocker and bixby button, so I took it out of the case and lo and behold, it looks like the backplate has come loose, you can see glue strands and when I press, it seals again but does not stay "stuck". Some points: I never have this phone in my back pocket, and therefore never sit on it There is no damage to the backplate (like a bend mark or nick or something) …
