    Time to dump MetroPCS. Suggestions?

    Over the past 2 years, reception and bars for MetroPCS have gotten progressively worse, and now that they have implemented 5G, sometimes the signal will drop out all together. I'm in the middle of a metropolitan city, near several cell towers, and have my phone set to go to 5G, or to alternate...

    Beginner's tutorial videos for S9?

    I gave my old S9 to a close friend after resetting, wiping it and getting an ultra cheap data plan, and a charger. My friend, 70 years old, not a complete luddite, but absolutely amateur with anything involving a touch screen, is having beginner issues with android, and I mean real beginner...

    Benefits of rooting GP6P?

    I realized looking at this forum that I am like the kid who shows up late for class, and then asks 95 questions and looks at other's tests. Sorry! I'll keep it brief. I remember back in the day with various phones, (Motorola Moto X Pure, LG V30, GS3, Xiaomi, etc) that there were a lot of...

    Why do phones always feature height, but not width?"

    For years now, the convention has been to say "Hey kids! This winter! The new 7'.4 inch display FabPhoneDeluxe 3000!", and it always features the size of the phone by height. You can usually easily find the width by looking at the specs, but it's rarely featured. Given that most Western (Roman...

    Are these GP6P or Android 12 behaviors?

    1: Drop down notification menu: One of things I liked about my older android models was that when notifications came in, and I pulled down on the desktop drop-down menu, I could click on any one of the notifications and it would go to that app, messages, email, website, etc, and also clear it...

    Recommendations for Real 30W wireless charging pads

    Bought a couple of Belkin 30W GaN, PD wall chargers, and they work fine for fast-charging when I plug the cable that came with the Pixel 6 Pro directly into the phone, but the pads I bought, which claimed to be "Qi-Certified 30W Max Fast Charging Pads" will charge wirelessly, just not rapidly...

    Choosing default clock/alarm app in Pixel 6 Pro

    Selecting default clock/alarm app. I have been really happy with this app called "Alarm Clock Extreme", which I used on my old phone an LG V30. My favorite thing that it did was that I could just "hey google, set an alarm for 15 minutes" and it would set the alarm, and make the...

    Can google assistant talkback be disabled on S10?

    Recently was gifted this phone, and was going to sell it, but realized it's a nice phone, and pretty quick. It took a minute to import a lot of the apps and settings from my old phone, and one nagging thing, is I can't get google assistant to shut the hell up. I don't mind the explanations of...

    Hi end phones with bodies wider tham 73.4 mm?

    Hi. I've been a samsung fan for a long time, but a major deal breaker for me, is that (As with a lot of phones) to them, "bigger "screens only really mean taller screens. This has always been counterintuitive to me at least, sent western type reads horizontally, and not vertically. Any...

    ExDailer booted from Google play. Alternatives?

    Hate the stock android (pie) phone dialer. Loved Exdailer Pro, which allowed me to use an all black theme as my dialer. Suddenly, last night, the play store, notifies me that Exdailer has been removed from their list of accessible apps, because of it's ability to parse personal information or...

    Is there a phone with the features I loved, but much more powerful?

    I am now using an LG V30, my faithful replacement for what I thought was the greatest phone for me ever, the Motorola Moto X Pure. If I had ever found a way to even hack at the hardware and just make it faster, I'd have never deviated from the Motorola Moto X pure. Here's why: Motorola Moto...

    Hands free dialing suddenly selective about which number

    I set up this phone so I can just say "OK Google, call bill" and it would call open a window, show a little green check mark, as if to say "OK" back to me, and then dial Bill, totally hands free, and could even add "On speakerphone" at the end and I'd be calling Bill on speakerphone. Nut now...
