    What do people think of the new Motorola One Hyper?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2019 05:45 PM PST

    I think it looks fantastic, have loved Motorola's smartphones for awhile now, having been the first Android phones I ever owned. I think the new One Hyper looks great, like a budget OnePlus 7 Pro with Motorola's great software and a headphone jack! Only things I can see that disappoint me a little is the lack of 90Hz and top ported headphone jack, but other than that, might be picking up this phone once it launches in Australia!

    One of the reasons I won't be buying an expensive smartphones is because, finding a genuine replacement battery is difficult or impossible.

    Posted: 15 Dec 2019 09:17 AM PST

    When I buy anything that costs more than $500. I want it to last as long as possible. Including phones. About five years, would be ideal. However what's stopping me from doing that, is not able to find a genuine replacement battery for it. I'm happy to be proved wrong, though.

    If I'm doing the battery replacement myself. I'd had to settle with either a new-old stock battery (batteries age and deteriorate even not in use), a pulled battery from a broken device (normally, seller don't know how much mileage the battery already has), or a third-party/shitty generic replacement (many are lower quality and could go KA-BOOM at any moment).

    I could go to a service center or a repair shop like UBreakIFix, but as far as I know. I may be out of luck, if the battery has been phased out, and their stock has been exhausted. Especially, if the phone is more than two/three years, and I still wanted to use it, as it's still usable. I know that the OG Pixel can still get genuine batteries through UBreakIFix. But how about others, like Samsung, Moto, Xiaomi, etc?

    I'm not a big fan of Apple, but I do like that they still provide parts for their products, up to five years. If others are not doing it already, then I wish, they'd take note from Apple.

    If I can't keep that phone for more than 2-3 years due to this, I might as well buy a cheaper smartphone that's about $200-300. Then, when the battery on that bites the dust. I would feel as bad, replacing it. Nowadays, mid-range phones are pretty good nowadays anyway.

    Red Magic 3S review: The fastest phone I've used, marred by big display issues

    Switch from stock android to MIUI

    Posted: 15 Dec 2019 01:43 AM PST

    I always used Motorola phones in past and i was very spectical about XIAOMI devices because of all the hatred towards MIUI but finally i decided to buy REDMI note 8 pro.

    I am using this device for 3 weeks now. And i absolutely love this device specially MIUI 10. Its so much better than stock android. All bloat can be easily uninstalled using adb if you want.

    Plus it has so many useful features which i really like. I have listed some features which i absolutely love

    1) Call recording.

    2) Flash light for incoming calls

    3) Button mapping like long press on back key for camera , long press on home key for screen off , double tap on power button for torch , long press power button for assistant. Extremely useful.

    4) it doesnt show notification on lock screen again if you received notification while your screen is on. ( This is my observation not sure if its true or not).

    5) Raise to wake + face unlock this two features combined takes me instantly to home screen whenever i lift my phone. Its so damn fast.

    6) scrolling screenshot

    7) Blur in notification shade

    8) I really like MIUI recent menu. It also show memory use which is very nice addition.

    9) Blur app preview in recent apps + App lock these two features combined are very handy.

    10) Daily and monthly data uses in notification shade.

    11) option to lock device in landscape mode.

    12) Network speed in status bar and that too in left side. Very nice addition. Plus option to turn off notifications icons in status bar.

    Plus REDMI note 8 pro is really damn fast. I am really happy to make switch from stock android to MIUI.

    Edit: extremely happy with battery life too here are some attached screenshot from today.

    Big Battery or Fast Charging?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2019 08:25 AM PST

    It seems that phone makers nowadays, especially those producing flagship devices, would much rather incorporate and advertise really quick charging, instead of just sticking a massive battery in it.

    I'm aware that this has to do with the average consumer's needs and what's become standard in the industry (that is, sleekness and looks versus pure usability), but why shouldn't it be standard to incorporate a large battery in these devices so that they have the stamina to keep going for all users, especially when battery technology is advancing?

    I'm curious as to what you guys would rather have. A phone that charges quickly but doesn't really get you through a whole day of heavy use, or one that takes a bit longer to charge, but will last you all day even when you're not giving a hoot about conserving the battery life.

    (slight rant over)

    Is Android 10's Share Sheet at all useful for you?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:59 AM PST

    For me the contact suggestions are completely useless. It seems to favor the Messages app for every contact I often interact with, instead of suggesting the app I actually use to contact them. Apps I often share things to, such as Pocket, I have to search for by scrolling around in the share sheet. The sheet itself is completely unpredictable: It's either a list of contacts on a horizontal axis followed by another list of horizontally displayed app targets or it's a vertically ordered list. It seems to depend on the app for no particular reason. The horizontal one is difficult to scroll in it you're using the new swipe gestures.

    I have no idea how this got into a production release. But then, at least it's no longer the sluggish mess it was for years before.
