| Posted: 01 Aug 2019 12:55 PM PDT The use case is easy : have a smartwatch/band always connected to your Galaxy phone through Bluetooth and no matter how good your Bluetooth headphones are, they will most likely sound like crap. I've had it on my S8, S8+, Note 8 and Note 9 with my Moto 360 Sport, MiBand and now Huawei Watch 2 but I've read people reporting it as far as the Galaxy S6. Had it on my Plantronics Beats Pro 2, Sennheiser HD4.50 and now Sony WH-1000M3. No matter what I do (including messing around with the Bluetooth settings from the Developer Options...that get reset all the time anyway), Bluetooth quality will drop from time to time to 2003 96kbps mp3. Quality is fine when no Bluetooth devices is connected or when using another Android phone in the same use case. You can read about it here for instance. But there are many other posts online. It might be Android Wear related as well but...
Beware of this issue before purchasing a Note 10. [link] [comments]  | ||

| My impressions of the Moto G7 Plus Posted: 01 Aug 2019 01:16 PM PDT I have used it for 24 hours. I wanted to see how Moto's best budget phone performed. So far, I have to say that the phone is really good and has very few flaws. As expected from Motorola, you get a stock Android experience, with a few Moto gestures and other such gestures added on top. Another thing I liked is that in the multitasking screen, they removed the big, ugly Google search bar, which I found incredibly obnoxious on my LG G7 One. Every task that the phone performs is fast and smooth. You notice with the SnapDragon 636 that there is a tiny bit of a longer delay in some cases that you wouldn't get with a top of the line CPU. But, that's nothing out of the realm of acceptability. The fingerprint reader at the back is exceptionally fast and accurate, probably the best one I've used so far. The sound is loud and clear for a smartphone. The screen is a quality mid-range LCD that is pleasant to look at, much more than the bad ones that Xiaomi puts in their Note line. It has a faster pixel response time than most other LCD phones. TurboPower allows to recharge this phone really, really fast. I can't go back anymore. Quick charge 3.0 is pathetic in comparison. The good news is that this phone supports Quick Charge 3.0, which is useful if you still have a power bank that supports it. I know that my Moto G4 Plus didn't work with Quick Charge at all. Another thing which I like is that it is Dual SIM, and the Micro SD card space is separate. Meaning, when you put a Micro SD card in, you do not lose space for one of the two SIM cards. Why every phone isn't like this is beyond me. Lastly for the camera, Motorola promotes this as an affordable phone with a good camera. For the most part, they are right. I noticed that DXOMark just released an analysis of the camera with a note of 80. That is about right, although it might be a little harsh. I have taken a lot of pictures and other than in very low light, I don't have an issue with any of them, they look great. About low light, it's not disastrous, it's ok, but there is definitely quite a bit of noticeable noise. Fortunately it's ready to install a Gcam APK which drastically improves this. Video is my biggest disappointment. It looks ok, but the autofocus is not very good, especially indoor when you are trying to focus on a subject. I try to take videos of my daughter in 4K and it has trouble following the subjects, the level of brightness also shifts unusually. I haven't seen something as bad since my OnePlus 2. Overall it's a great purchase, I have nothing but good things to say, other than I wish the video focus was better. I will certainly keep this phone for a very long while, it's just a pleasant, adorable, pure Android phone that quickly grows on you. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Facebook continues to push 32-bit apps onto 64-bit devices Posted: 01 Aug 2019 01:28 AM PDT After today's deadline Facebook continues to push 32-bit apps onto 64-bit devices with Oreo and older versions of Android. Only Pie users can get 64-bit APKs. Why, Facebook, why? https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/facebook-232-0-0-35-115-release/ https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/messenger/messenger-226-0-0-9-117-release/ [link] [comments]  | ||
