Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the “retro” look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren’t that important these days).

Hi folks, a little troubleshooting help here, please....

In addition to Private Space, Android at I/O 2024 is really working to boost the mobile operating system’s theft, security, and privacy protections.

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...

Hi, I wonder if there is a setting somewhere to setup the default sharpness for all the android photo app....

Hey there, I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with my phone (Zenfone8). As you can see, the picture is alright but when I use the zoom the picture goes all pixelated (uploaded in a comment) I change the camera module but it still does the same :(...

This happens all the time. Happens when I go to the app switcher and resets when I go back home. But as soon as I hear back into the app switcher, it moves to the side....

For a search company I can’t believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can’t even search “bank” for my banking apps, and there doesn’t really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like...

When I want to find an app I haven’t pinned to the home screen I swipe up from the bottom of the home screen to bring up a search bar where I can search for an app by name or scroll through list of all apps on the phone....

Google Messages’ sent text editing feature has now begun rolling out to beta users, indicating that stable rollout is around the corner.

Google Messages wants to make sure you don’t see texts from blocked contacts anywhere with this upcoming feature.

In recently purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro with MIUI I see the message app isn’t available for many popular apps, those messages usually show when the android version is old but I have android 13 so I don’t understand why I see those errors so much in the play store.

Option 1: leave everything enabled, & everything works with full spyware enablement too...

Just thought I’d share. Probably nothing new or fancy, but may help some of you find a way to repurpose devices that aren’t worth repairing into home servers or something: e.g. op5 I’ve used has better CPU compared to raspberry pi 4, can run linux (postmarketos, albeit with some caveats), and costs less if bought with...

So I’m interested in buying a Pixel 8 to install GrapheneOS in it but I’m also interested in rooting it and from what I’ve read rooting your device with a privacy focused custom ROM like GrapheneOS beats the purpose of installing it, so I don’t know if it’s actually posible to do it or if it actually has any grace,...

About time!...

I’ve used notification cleaner for years but it’s dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online

Is there any way to install and use the Gemini App without the Google App and forced association of the account with my Android phone?...
