    Can some of you recommend a glass protector brand that is pretty thick but not too thick, scrolls well, and protects very well. I tried supershieldz but i find them to be very flimsy and dont care for them.

    Hi! Question. Is an Android tablet with 2GB of RAM enough just to play watch movies? I am not going to use it for anything other than to watch movies (streaming) plus a VPN. No email. No web browsing. No multitasking. No Social Media. Just movie streaming and a VPN. The tablet I am referring to is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 32GB model with 2GB RAM and Android Pie 9.0

    Pleas do not recommend a keyboard like Swiftkey or whatever if it doesn't have functionality i am looking for. If you have ever used Hacker's keyboard, the reason might be because you needed it for the directional keys, or function keys or special keys like Tab, Print Screen etc. I used Hacker's Keyboard on a number of devices in the past. Now, using with a LineageOS 16 (Android 9) device that has on-screen navigation buttons hidden through the expanded desktop option in the settings. And this has broken some of its functionality. I can't use special characters like ș or ț or any other alternative character or (especially) punctuation attached to any button on t…

    I'm really impressed with the P30 Pro camera and my current OnePlus 3T camera isn't aging well. The P30 Pro is already out here in the UK, so I guess it wouldn't be affected by any bans? I'd also probably find a custom rom after a few months anyway so I guess that may get round any other problems. Any other phones I should consider?

  14. Got a second LG v20 to unlock the boot loader and install a custom rom.

    So I've been really wanting the Feb 2019 security updates to patch the PNG vulnerability. Since LG gave us the middle finger, I bought a used (like new) vs995 on eBay for ($109) .. downgraded it and unlocked the bootloader. Yesterday I flashed Lineage OS 14.1. Today I see they released all the new Lineage 14.1 roms with the February 2019 security updates for the different v20's but they deleted the Verizon vs995 section (The last update it had was December 2018). So, I thought I would get creative. I downloaded the us996 version that was just updated today, and unzipped it and then opened META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script …

  15. Pixel Cheaper on Amazon

    Looking to get a new phone finally but noticed that the Pixel 3 XL 128gb is $200 cheaper on Amazon. as compared to Google's site. Not sure exactly why. Google site it is $999, while on Amazon, it is about $799. https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixel-Unlocked-GSM-CDMA/dp/B07KDWMP86/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=pixel+3+xl&qid=1552051344&s=videogames&sr=8-4 That is the link to Amazon's site. Says sold by Google. And if it is $200 cheaper, why is that? It is an unlocked phone and I will be using it on Verizon and looks to be the same as Google's site.

    So we have a local "It's $5". It's a place that has a bunch of bins **** (probably mostly amazon returns) that you can go through and maybe find some good deals. So they restock the bins on Saturdays and Sundays. Then Monday it's 2 for 5 all the way up to Friday when it's 10 for $5. I went on Saturday morning when they restocked at 9 am, I was number 19 through the door. 1 min after entering and looking in the second bin I found ... So if anyone has this store near them, they may want to have a look some morning when they restock. So far this watch is amazing, I love IT! I love the second screen that turns (In th…

I see lots of tablets that fit the size, but they all seem to from companies I have never heard of, and the reviews on Amazon seem almost too good on most of them. If anyone could give me an idea of what brand(s) to look for that would be great!

    My daughter is currently using a Moto G Play XT1607 and has been for ~3 years now. She and my wife are reporting that the phone recently has started randomly powering off and on, as well as not ringing on random calls. My wife thinks that I need to spend $200 and buy here the phone that I have (Moto X4 Android One) but I am not ready to spend $200 for her since she is still in school and not working, and will be 18 this summer. She currently has service with Verizon (prepaid) but I am hoping to get her to switch to Redpocket Mobile, considering it is cheaper. I feel that spending $100 to $150 max would be more then reasonable for a phone. Also worh mentioning I will not e…
