    iPhone X user looking to swap to Android. Help me pick a phone?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:25 PM PDT

    Hi all,
     
    So I've been a long-time Apple user who has been extremely comfortable in the Apple eco-system. However, the iPhone Xs and Xs Max have been a disappointment to me on pretty much everything except for performance.
     
    The beautifying crap with the front camera, the antenna issue (again, even if I didn't experience any issues myself the first time around), the fact that they don't include a Lightning>3.5mm adapter in the box nor a fast-charge brick (even if I already have a 3rd party solution) while raising the price yet again just has me disgruntled with the iPhone.
     
    Apple has always appealed to me due to making products which just work. The last android phone that I used (Samsung S6) always had issues. Gaming was lackluster, couldn't find a decent text message application, the skin was horrible, and custom ROMs were an absolute nightmare for me as they fixed some annoyances while introducing others. Heck, the phone was enough of a trainwreck to me to completely turn me off from Android.
     
    However, lately I've been watching more and more videos about Android phone releases and my annoyances seem to be largely fixed and my disappointment with the new iPhones has added to my want to switch to Android. However, with about 600 devices a year (exaggeration) to choose from, I'm absolutely clueless on what to go for. So here are some things that I'd like to have:

    • Fast, gaming capable GPU.
    • Large 6"+ Screen.
    • Preferably OLED but LCD is manageable.
    • Fast. Major. Updates. (I'm so used to day 1 updates from Apple)
    • Preferably no Notch unless it serves a purpose.
    • Dual speakers. (Gaming related)
    • Preferably 64GB+ internal storage.

     
    My usage for a phone throughout the day:

    • 3-4 hours of Gaming varying from simple games like Fire Emblem Heroes, Deemo and Cytus to more demanding games like Shadowverse, PUBG, Fortnite, Pokemon GO! etc.
    • 1-ish hour of Reddit
    • 2-ish hours of Audio consumption through headphones (Bluetooth, Airpods)
    • 1-2 hours of Video consumption.

     
    Hopefully there's a phone that can be recommended, as it does sound like a tall order looking at it like this. I'd like to add that only the Exynox 9810 version of the Note 9 is available here, which seems to perform less on the GPU side of things from my own research, sadly.

    Realme 2 pro question

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:10 PM PDT

    Hi all, I'm looking at buying the realme 2 pro but after some research I'm not sure if its compatible with my cell provider. I have tmobile and I've tried to look at the network bands but this has kind of confused me. If the phone is compatible with tmobile will the services like internet, and cell connection be as good as a phone from t mobile? Thanks in advance reddit community.

    Apps randomly open

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:01 PM PDT

    Anyone have any idea why random apps will automatically open when I'm playing music? A different app will randomly open every 60 seconds or so by itself. It doesn't happen any other time except when my music is playing. My phone is a Motorola Force Z2. Not sure if it matters but my music app is Pulsar.

    Is there an app that will allow me to iterate through screen elements using hardware keys?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:00 PM PDT

    So basically what I am asking for is - is there an app that will take, like, volume up/down and use to iterate through elements on screen - lets say we are in Settings menu and it is changing focus from one row to another, and when the right one is focused - I can, lets say press power on/of button (or camera button) to select it? What I am asking for is a similar feature like Tab button is used on Windows, and when desired element is focused you press enter to interact with it.
    My touch broke almost completely (only row with nav buttons is working barely) and I would like to still be able to use it for really simple tasks until I can afford to repair it.

    General questions about an SD card.

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 05:20 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I just recently bought an SD Card, and I'm kind of new using it.

    My questions are:

    How do I put music on it? I mean, from my pc to the SD. I'm going to use Black Player though.

    What is the best way to remove the card to transfer data or it's better to it with other tools? It's just that I have read that people lost their data without any reason, that's why I'm asking.

    If the manufacturer has blocked the option to move apps to SD, then there's no way to do it, right? I have a Huawei P9 Lite 2017.

    I hope you can help me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Trying to install google on a chinese phone

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 07:21 PM PDT

    So my dad just recently bought me a ZTE BLADE AS2 and it doesn't have any pre installed google apps. I can, however, search the google search engine on its Chinese browser.

    I tried installing aptoide and installing google apps from there but it doesn't work. I tried using share it to transfer google apps from my old phone to the new one but it doesn't work. I also tried resetting my phone but it still doesn't work. Clear cache doesn't work as well

    Also whenever I try to open google play store, it won't load and there will be a notification "Google play services won't run unless you update..." And it just cuts there. And whenever I try to open the notification it just takes me to the google play store

    MIUI's problems and their workarounds?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:35 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm tempted to buy a Pocophone F1 but I heard some hints of its MIUI's disadvantages, namely annoying apps and useless features, something about advertisements and data collection and other stuff you get for not using stock Android. I would like to know if these are true, if you can live with them and if there's a way to circumvent them via some advanced settings or something else.

    Thanks in advance!

    LG G5 (RS988) - SIM Card Issue

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:05 PM PDT

    At random times my phone will flash a message that the SIM card has been removed. To temporarily fix requires me to remove the battery and then reboot. It doesn't even make a notification sound, so until I notice it's happened, my phone can't receive calls/texts.

    The last couple of days have been concerning cuz it went from happening once a couple time per week to twice a day. The last time it happened today I ejected the SIM card tray, removed the SIM, blew on it and into the opening and then replaced it.

    Has anyone run into this and found a permanent fix? Or have any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Formatted Data in TWRP, did I screw up?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:03 PM PDT

    So I got my new Moto Z2 Play today, and was going about installing Lineage when the guide on XDA told me to format. I did that in TWRP, but now I'm getting errors like "Failed to mount /data" and "Unable to mount storage". Did I do something wrong, and can somebody please help me fix it? I'm kind of freaking out that I might have turned my new phone into a paperweight.

    Google play services

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:17 AM PDT

    Why does Google play services need access to calendar, camera, and SMS? I can't imagine a situation where that is necessary.

    Android 9 status bar tweaks not working?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:39 AM PDT

    I'm on Pixel XL 1 Android 9 September update. I unlocked the status bar customizer, turned off status symbols for many icons, which worked for Bluetooth and Do not Disturb (including when they are turned on).

    However, wifi and data/connection icons will not hide themselves, and I have tried disabling and reenabling the status bar tweak, and have obviously restarted my phone.

    Does anyone else have this problem or any solutions? Thanks.

    Best re-entry into Android Ecosystem that is compatible with Verizon 4G LTE?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 04:21 PM PDT

    Hey folks,

    My last android was a Galaxy S3 and I would like to return at some point, I really liked the OnePlus 6 and the ideas of the OnePlus 6T but all I've read is that they won't work on Verizon. What other devices can you recommend that won't destroy my wallet?

    Making custom remote widget

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 03:41 PM PDT

    Hey guys! I want to make a custom remote to control all my smart home devices. They're all from different manufacturers and have their own app, but I want to make a custom widget (or screen full of buttons) to control them all. Any ideas?

    I tried anymote, but it doesn't have all the manufacturers I wanted. I thought kustom widgets could work, but I can't seem to figure out how to use that to reach into my other apps. Will share updates if I find anything

    Hello, looking to upgrade my parents non-smart tv, is Chromecast the way to go?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:14 AM PDT

    Hello, I've been having a hard time searching for a good subreddit to ask this. Basically, my folks inherited an old 2012 widescreen hd tv. It's only 60hz, and not 4k, so I've been trying to find a basic stick/streaming thing to hook them up with. I'm extremely ignorant to the whole thing, so when I saw Chromecast, fire stick, Roku stick, etc, I wasn't entirely sure what the difference would be. Would a Chromecast be the ideal choice for my situation, or should I get something else? Chromecast caught my eye because it was a cheaper option.

    Thanks in advance!
