    setting up 2nd phone w/less storage

    connections for simultaneous call and music output

    I've read that this is app dependent, and I know wireless output would be an option, but I'll want to simultaneously output WIRED to both a headset and speakers. The phone will have both USB-C and 3.5mm (the usual female TRRS). (3.5mm audio-only outputs are TRS.) Could it work to use a USB-C...

    I can't figure out what the status icon= circle with "AF" inside means. (Actually the circle also has a little dash pointing away on the lower left side.) (I'm a total android noob; why on earth can't one press-hold icons and discover their meaning? And is there a status icon editor where I...
