I am thinking of getting a foldable for media consumption, which foldable has the best screen and battery life?

Restating >>101491336
>Is it normal that a new device (S24 Exy) has a subpar battery life in the first days? First day of true use was terrible (already had migrated and installed everything) and it slowly gets better each following day. Got my previous poco 3 years ago and can't remember it was like that.

what's a good price to pay for a 7a as an europoor?

any way to get an orange one here?

>>101493709
ty, just wanted to confirm what I also read but a more reputable source


another question - does anyone actually use wireless charging? The only acceptable use i see is in a car, but then with AA you are asking for a car fire. Reason I am asking - I found some cheap chink company branded charger we got for xmas, but it's so slow and i'd better just plug the cord. Might put it on my bedside tho.

>>101493592
>foldable for media consumption
None. Get yourself ultrawide Sony phone instead.

>>101493592
As someone with a foldable this makes 0 sense

>>101493922
Magsafe makes it usable. It's fine if you just got home and wanna put it charging for a few minutes.
You can buy some protective cases with magsafe integrated to use with other non apple products btw, pretty handy

>>101493644
What's a 7a? Some kind of loser brand product?

>>101494341
Is that like, true even though it wasn't the charger that came with my phone? Like, my phone charger (that is a 30w) does work but the way it works is kinda 'wonky'. My phone (it also works for my CB and tablet) has to be turned OFF and if it's not and its charging, it'll always make a 'vibrating' noise like when you get a notification. It also has to be on a FLAT SURFACE otherwise it won't charge properly. If it is on a flat surface then it charges like REAL QUICK but sometimes I've noticed (although rarely) it charges slower than a snail and on REALLY rare occasions ie:

- Sometimes charges backwards (I think its like what, happened 3 times).
- Sometimes shows the 'charging' icon when the charger is unplugged from device and says 'Charging very slowly'. I fix this problem with my 7w Samsung Charger.

So would a slower charger be more ideal despite it being a USB-A to USB-C? I always thought that if you ddin't use the proper charger it would swell the battery or something (or cause a possible fire risk). The 30W charger also has no faults on the cable but like I said earlier, its really 'wonky' with its charging.

>>101494407
I think it's a google pixel, that's what it says on the box

>New phone has "Always on display" disabled
>Turn it on just so I have a clock
>The display still turns off after a few seconds
Is that how it's supposed to work? Is it going to constantly drain the battery even when displaying nothing at all?

>>101494857
No it's supposed to be always on

>>101494894
Maybe this is one of those things oneplus does to feel special

I swear these phone companies purposefully make their phones and official cases slippery to raise the chance that you'll drop it and break it so you buy a new one in a couple years.

>>101496951
Works most of the time for me, but it is a bit less reliable than the fingerprint scanner on the back of my poco f1 was. There's still some phones that don't have an in display fingerprint reader, and some fancy ones that have an ultrasonic in display reader which is better

>>101496951

Battery is smaller (although the chip is efficient), it's probably not going to have a metal frame and it's price might be unusually high.
Also personally, the lack of a curved screen is a downside. I just think they look cool ok!?

Literally takes you just one or two youtube videos to fix. A lot of pre installed or even system apps can be uninstalled or deactivated. Some of them even have a switch to turn off ads. Private DNS also helps outside of non Google apps.

>>101496951
A52S uses an optical sensor and those are usually the ones that are noticeably slower than physical sensors and have a higher fail rate. Ultrasonic sensors are way better in this regard, but it depends what ultrasonic sensor is in the phone. Samsung does use ultrasonic sensors on their S lineup but as someone with an S23U it's really no better than an optical sensor, probably because the specific ultrasonic sensor Samsung uses is outdated. Newer ultrasonic sensors are much larger and faster at unlocking to the point where they aren't much slower than physical ones, but very rarely are they ever used. I have an X90P+ with a more modern ultrasonic sensor and it comes very close to a physical reader. It rarely fails to register any of my fingerprints. It also unlocks faster than my S23U.

TL;DR ultrasonic good, optical bad

>>101499146

I am a bit confuse here.

I've got an POCO X3 NFC for years now, using custom ROMs (crDroid now).

Apparently my banking app will stop working due to the custom ROM + root.

I have therefore try to setup the magisk modules to pass Play Integrity and hide magisk/ root.

I have sucessfully install Play Integrity Fix. But i am lost for the second part.
I have try to install Shamiko since it's seems to be the most recommanded one. But the latest version (I got from github) doesn't seems to works with lastest stable of magisk (27).
I have no idea how to update magisk to the latest unstable version, but I honestly would prefer to stay on latest.

Also, are those software really trust worthy ?

There is so much contradicting information on XDA/ reddit / telegram

So what would you recommand ?

I also concider to get a new phone and keep the stock, since I don't have the energy to keep my self up to date with the ROMs scene.

How does an older iPhone compare to an equivalently older Android flagship in terms of usage in [current year]? Take for example the iPhone 12 and the Galaxy S21.
Both sell for around 200 euro on the used market in my country. Both came out around the same time. Both are ~6.1-6.2 inch with OLED screens and similar dimensions.
The Galaxy S21 has a 120Hz screen and a larger battery capacity (and battery life), but the iPhone 12 has a higher resolution screen and is still getting the latest iOS updates.

Which would (You) say is the better option for someone looking for an alternative to brand new $200 midrange options?

I'm just trying to build up my knowledge, because I often get asked irl by friends and family "what phone around 150-250 euro should I get" and my generic answer has been Redmi Note 13 Pro so far, but I thought about it for a second and realized used flagships might possibly be a better deal than a brand new chinkphone with dubious software support.

are these normal idle temps for snap 7s2 and battery? rooms at around 25-26c I think, at least that's what the AC is set for.

also is there any decent notification or overlay program for monitoring temp and load?
what about task manager so you could see which programs use how much CPU and ram and stuff like that, like on windows?

Thinking of getting Motorola Moto G Power 2024 purely for gaming emulation. Anyone know if Dimensity 7020 can handle PS2 and Gamecube?

>>101508428
Damn, there go my hopes of testing rooting on my mom's old phone. Thankfully, I have a spare Redmi phone. Do those also have that, or is it free game?

>>101508437
If you want a machine purely for emulation you could get the retroid pocket 4 pro. I think it's around the same price as the power, or maybe a bit cheaper, and it can run games up to ps2 and has physical inbuilt controls.

>>101508595
Moto G power is currently $50 on straighttalk right now which is why I'm looking at it. Retroid pocket 4 would cost $100 more.

>>101508623
> It's not like you're playing the Fortnite right now.
that's kind of the issue. seems bit hot for idle. but I guess should be fine.

also isn't mediatek worse for emulation because there is worse driver support and some stuff like that? took the phone with snap even though it was a lot less powerful because of that. though I only tried up to psp on it.

They have the best combo of both. I couldn't tell you which phones have straight up the best camera hardware for sure, probably sony xperias (but their software is shit) or one of those chink phones with the massive bump, like the vivo x100 ultra

140 usd and the m15 is 150 usd (after conversion)

>>101509584
Poco C65 is eMMC. Avoid at all costs due to that, not because it's a chinkphone or whatever.

I'm thinking about importing a Vivo X100 Ultra. I know benchmarks are mostly a meme but it seems pretty middling as a SD8 Gen 3 phone and it seems to overheat pretty easily too (but not as much or as fast as modern Xperias)
What's the next best camera phone? Idc if it's another chinkphone as long as it's good (currently on a Poco F1 after my XZ2 Compact's digitizer shat the bed)

Are you getting one free with the one month of service promotion? I got it at walmart last week. These phones unlock after 60 days. Apparently if you just don't renew service after the first month it'll still unlock after 60 days?

"Ram Boost/Virtual Memory" was on by default on my phone. This caused performance issues

Duckstation runs great. PPSSPP Vulkan back end 2x resolution no frameskip chains of Olympus stable 60. Anything more and it chokes.

Suggest some emulators and games ill test what I can . I'll test what I can.
Decent enough CPU. Good 5g modem. Can do everything except mmwave on Verizon. Good IPS display. Decent battery. Decent enough fast charging. Wireless charging.

For a "free" phone it's surprisingly competent.

Reasking. Are there current gen boxy phones like the samsung s24 ultra with flat 90 degree top? All I can find are old phones like sony xperia L1.

used to use pdanet now i'm trying out netshare. If I can't root my phone what's the best one of these apps out right now to get around hotpot tether limits?

Windwaker seems stable and playable messing around start area.
Path of Radiance seems playable and stable in tutorial. Must change settings>hacks>Store EFB Copies to Texture Only>Off. To get rid of a texture flickering issue.

Don't expect this thing to run everything in the Dolphin catalog well. Vulkan backed dosn't work.
bumping internal resolution makes either game unplayable.

Calibrate your expectations. This is a "free" phone.
mediatek gpu's are not nearly as well supported as their Qualcomm counterparts.

>s6g1
nta, I got s7g2 recently and its gonna be better for emulation than mediated I think. both have vulkan and are pretty similar.
looking at benchmarks of my phone though it's not gonna deal with switch well, but looks like ps2 works alright? might be worth looking for specific CPU tests. can't tell what the dude saying but looks smooth at least on this phone
https://youtu.be/nkZ0NFjUxlc

>>101511211
>its gonna be better for emulation than mediated I think
though i don't know how powerful the other chip is from the other anon, there are obviously limits to performance gains. so better compare actual benchmarks for both.
snap is better for compatibility and vulkan and getting patches and drivers, mediatek has raw power but if it doesn't work Devs need to implement things on the app end for it to get fixed. at least it's what I've seen being said when I was picking between this one and mediatek with x2 performance.

>>101508684
The best cameras are all used by Chinese phones

>>101511211
emulator performance can vary alot on a game per game basis on these SOCs. try searching around for comments of people who have tried uusing that emulator with your game on that phones chipset.

>>101509748
Camera it's either the vivo x100 ultra or oppo find x7 ultra as far as I know

>>101510998
I'm watching a comparison, the camera on the Xiaomi is such a noticeable step down... hmm. Is gsmarena a reputable source? Their review of the Vivo states that it dissipates the heat really well - at the cost of being too hot to hold. Which reminds me of the small nuclear reactor that was my S6 Edge.

>>101511332
They're generally reliable and unbiased. They can fuck up sometimes, but I don't know who I'd recommend as an alternative

>>101511264
I don't entirely think its just a software dev problem. I think imaginationtech's drivers aren't nearly as good. On paper this thing chokes way harder than it should on like genshien impact and zenless zero. it chokes on sharers hard.

>>101511364
They mentioned that it only overheated when benchmarking so maybe it's a non-issue, I just want it to record in 4K60 without closing the camera like the Xperias do.

>>101511211
>>101511264

Mature emulators like ps2(nethersx2) and wii (dolphin) have high chances of running without a hitch even on mediakeks. It's when you go to Vita or Switch emus where things become retarded. And pc emu (Winlator) is a no-go for mediakek atm.

You'd still be supported by the time you returned it. This feels like you're bitching about a phone (you) never owned.

>>101511677
>Mature emulators like ps2(nethersx2)
i was gonna laugh at you for calling something based on pieceofshitsx2 "mature" but then i remembered that aether/nethersx2 are actually better than what they're based on

Is there actual value in upgrading from a zFold 3 or perhaps switching to a pixel fold? I've taken a look and don't see anything compelling in the specs for the 6 or the pixel.

>>101511978
dunno why you felt regret for answering me but thanks.

>>101511973
He is right though. The SD card reader reads at 20-30 Mbps. And the headphone jack is nothing special.
The 4K screen is only worth complaining about because it's quite dim and doesn't have LTPO. It also has colour shift and banding problems.

>>101505591
I don't see why you'd need to upgrade but if it's cheap then go for it. I got a watch 6 and honestly for the most part I get the same use from it what I get from the mi band 8, but at least it looks better.

Okay I played with it for 30 minutes so my mini review

Keep in mind that I come from a note 10+ which I think is the perfect phone with good, large screen, decent enough power and battery, and thin and light as all phones should be.
I never had a tablet
I never had a foldable phone or display

Everything is snappy as if not snappier than my note 10+
Outside screen is like, a tenth of an inch too narrow but I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually
The screen crease is definitely there but if I change the angle ever slightly it's out of my sight, out of mind
It's heaver and bulkier than the note 10+ and will be even worse when I get a case for it, but considering the technology I am quite impressed
I plan to read a lot on this and didn't buy an ereader and the screen is definitely nice and accommodating

I am terrible at this, does anyone have any questions?

>>101513469
was it really worth it to have a folding meme?

>>101513469
does it feel square or round? have you ever held a ultra? what color did you order?

>>101513505
I got it with a bunch of coupons so 1350AUD (around 900USD)
Definitely worth it and more I think

>>101513512
Like the corners? Yeah a lot of reviews and pictures have it really sharp but it's definitely rounded not a concern
Held an ultra? Yes a friend's 22 ultra and another friend's 23 ultra. It's about the same now I think about it but I'll compare it tomorrow in the office maybe.
I got the 'online exclusive' black

>>101513558
personally I went all in on the wing but I considered getting this, now that you say the corners dont feel sharp I am glad I didn't get a fold 6. the square look was the main draw for me.

yup, its weird for a day or two max then you literally dont notice

Best bang for your buck right now is an iPhone 14 Pro Max on Apple store's refurbished section.

You're not a teenager anymore, no need for an android to root it and install custom roms. You should understand that as an adult, you need a phone that is reliable and works.

After a decade of using android, I have finally opened my eyes and see clearly now. When developers create an app for Apple, it works on all iPhones. When they create an app for Android, it will not be optimized for all the different Android devices. No matter how much RAM they cram into these devices, they will eventually bug out and stutter from time to time.

Can you give an example? I've never had it happen, with the exception of wifi network login pages

How can i free up space on my android's internal storage?
I have plenty of space on my sd and I've transferred every app that i can(some don't let me) to my sd.
The first image shows my sd card data, which, despite the category not showing, is primarily composed of my apps.
Th second image shows my internal storage data, and somehow the app data portion exceeds both the capacity of the internal storage and the used portion of my sd card.
Someone please help i just want to play gacha games on my phone.

Specifically what phone?
>apps to sd
This has stopped being a thing a long time ago. Android has evolved into being hostile towards microsd cards and the cattles fell for it hook, line and sinker.
And even of you could move them to sd card, the apps will still need to go back to the internal storage when they need to updoot.

Wtf, I think you need a new phone. While Hoyo's latest game ZZZ, is just 20Gb, it will grow overtime.
>64gb
Prolly emmc storage and maybe an ancient cpu. You'll just have a bad time.

cache overfilled to shitnprobably, do you have wireless adb? I'd not use regular adb, download SD maid SE and clear the caches

Nice but no dual GPS. Otherwise REALLY nice phone. Very light and fast.

Are Nokia smartphones good? They were the best in the 2000s but I know nothing about their smartphones.

It's Pixel's modem. That's hardware, not software. You can buy a 3G/4G base station that can boost signals. Usually carriers sell them and they connect through internet cable and you just deploy a base station.

Or you can get illegal ones from ebay which work great but you'll get raped by some big 3-4 letter agency probably.

Try different phone

That links to the same guide I followed, but at least the comments there have a workaround for the crash so it actually helped
