iPhone SE battery is starting to suck after 3 years but it honestly wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be, though I don’t play games or have a million things running in the background so maybe that’s why.

Anyone getting random reboots on A15 on pixel?
>>
>>102852533
same situation for me, loved that little beast

unfortunately seeing the leaks it seems that new SE next year will be 6.1 inches
the mini series was also discontinued

is it still worth it to get a 13 mini refurbished?

So apparently my smartphone with GrapheneOS can't run Google Pay. Or Gpay. Or "Wallet", what are you supposed to call it even?
But can it run Samsung Pay? This country has basically those two options for smartphone payments.
Are (NFC?) payments generally tied to official ROMs? Is this what anons meant by "online banking doesn't work with custom ROMs"? My online banking apps always worked fine with custom ROMs.

>>102852533
>though I don’t play games or have a million things running in the background so maybe that’s why
And that's supposed to help battery to not wear down? Never heard that one, although I'm /spg/ casual.

I've got an xperia phone and I hate that I can't pick a specific system theme color under "Wallpaper & Style." The only choice is blue or monochrome unless I go for the colors based on my wallpaper.
Is this a stock Android thing or did Sony go out of their way to remove customization like how I can't have individual toggles for the camera or microphone.

We all know iPhones are dogshit devices with a few software gems like iMessage and FaceTime. We know technically savy people won't ever purchase them. Do we really have to rehash it every thread?

This post will seem smart to a jeetdroid faggot, but doesn't realize that it's basically comparing a single line of phones to EVERY SINGLE OTHER LINE OF PHONES OUT THERE.

Those retards will laugh at Apple for "copying" a feature that was used in some chinkphone 10 years ago that was not used by anyone, was shit and their Shitsung Ultra doesn't have it anyway but will pretend as if this somehow makes their "Android phone" better. It's always the same pathetic insecure behavior.

iPhone is an overall package that just werks. It's especially funny when they claim that iToddlers are cultists or whatever when flagship Samsungs are now more expensive than iPhones.

Yes, this is literally the reason why you have to kill all background apps in Android periodically or it will kill your performance. iPhones don't have to do it and it will pick on your most used apps and won't reload them anyway.

>>102857340
The original iPhone idea and what Jobs ALWAYS kept as one of the key aspects of a proper smartphone is that it can be comfortably used in one hand. If you want a bigger screen, get a tablet.

And i honestly agree. I use 14 Pro and it's not as big as some crazy phones like S24 Ultra, but it still could be a bit smaller. I held 13 mini for a while and it was honestly amazing. I'd love Pro performance in a phone this small. It would be perfect.

So apparently the Mihon devs and team are seriously considering making an iOS version but the only thing holding it back is the Maine death not owning a macbook. I don't believe this at all though. Iirc The iOS app store does not allow any torrent apps on the app store because that violates their TOS. I think they do it because they don't want to host any applications that are, let's be honest, we'll be ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY used to torrent copyrighted content and they don't want Hollywood or corporations in their ear complaining that they are helping facilitate piracy. (I know how backwards this sounds but I'll explain shortly). What I'm getting it is that wouldn't Apple be more inclined to NOT allow an app like this since it is, like torrevt clients, mostly used to download copyrighted shit for free? At its core Mihon it's kind of like Piratebay for comics for retards.

>But the Play store allows it

The Play store allows a lot of things, including apps that are just straight up viruses that bypass "Play protect" regularly. It's because it would be allowed on the Play store absolutely does not mean that iOS would be okay with it on their platform. Plus, I think them even floating the idea of releasing it to iOS as just yet another attempt to try to babysit lamen Even though doing that is what got the Tachiyomi project and repo smoked in the first place. Whoever is pushing so hard to retard proof This app even more so than already is is going to get that thing shut down again and again and again. If you're reading this, stop. When or if it gets shut down again, this is why it will happen. Stop drawing attention to yourself. You already have enough people that can report bugs. Your project is open source so people can help you develop their. What more do you need? You don't even charge for it at all so what benefit do you have from doing this?

Lack of Tachiyomi/Mihon is among my top issues with iOS. If iOS had Mihon, ReVanced (incl. Music), a torrent client, system-wide adblocker, and optionally PS2 (and newer) emulation, I'd be willing to switch to an iPhone as soon as the base models start having 120Hz LTPO screens. Which is likely next year according to some leaks.

ffmpeg installed via Termux from Fdroid (Play Store version have some limitations iirc) or Obtainium. It is command line and you'll have to learn from a guide probably, but you can create a script to do a whole folder quickly. There's a webm for 4chan guide but you also have to strip the audio for boards other than /gif/. It's something like -an or something I can never remember.

ffmpeg is basically the gold standard and if you find some random video converter it's probably just using ffmpeg behind the GUI. Good luck.

Simple.

S24 is good, i have it and like it so far. S23/23U is also good if you want a recent but still previous flagship android. If you want an iPhone you could probably get a 15 pro/pro max if you want to dip into the Apppe ecosystem/iOs and if you dont care about the new AI features coming to the 16 series. Cant say much about other brands though.

I'm still using a Galaxy S9+ from like 2018 and haven't felt the need to upgrade until very recently. The back glass has finally cracked and I think that 5G speeds would be useful for me. But those things alone don't really justify a new $800 flagship, and I don't just want a boomer low-end model with 5G but otherwise worse specs than the S9. Should I just find a refurbished S20 or something or is there something else that makes S23 or S24 worth it?

Non-Galaxy is fine too I just don't really know the market that well.

Not quite correct. They forced ABILITY The sidelo third-party apps but the app still need to be approved by the app store. You can technically still sideload but that side load needs to be on a white list before you can actually run it on an apple device. Which is why I think them even implying that they whatever make an app for iOS quite idiotic. They don't even have a version on the Play store even though they would have a much easier time doing so there. I think they're just saying this to make certain people shut the hell up and stop bugging them so much. I'm calling it now and IOS version is never coming.

thanks for the replies. I looked at my Verizon account and it looks like they'll give me $800 credit to trade in my S9+, which means I could get an S25 for like $200. That beats even the A55 price point. Am I missing something? I'd be required to upgrade my plan which I was already considering and I know I'll be locked in for 36 months. The downsides are that I prefer to keep my old phones because I do have uses for them and I would also prefer to be able root the new one which I think buying from Verizon prevents.

They do offer things like this but yeah you end up stuck with them for the 3 years or else you owe the remaining balance. It's split up as bill credits over the 36 months. Personally I would just buy an s23 off swappa, you can hunt for an unlocked one on there.

BROS I'll literally pay any price for a fucking curved screen. I need to feel the curvature with my fingers. I don't use a screen protector or case with my phone for this exact reason.

Current Samsung S10
Previous Poco F5
(I use both)
Not sure what next phone will be these two do everything I want...but I like the size and feel of the S10 so I'd get a smaller phone around 6"

how do i make my own icon packs for my android? i already have programs like illustrator, i wanna know how put the shit i make on my phone. i don't like the non-uniformity of my apps' icons and i'm not taking it to chance that the icon packs on the play store will have everything.

They are. Except MIUI or whatever Xiaomi calling it now.

>feel muh curvaturé
buy a new s6/s7 edge from eBay and jerk off fondling it as much as your refractory period permits you because you literally will never get anything with such aggressive curve radii ever again.
>>
>>102867395
Arcticons actually has basically everything
Anyways there are some icon pack makers on Play Store but you'll need a compatible launcher
iirc very few stock launchers are compatible out of the box, try something like Lawnchair maybe

Back in the day the full backup solution was called Nandroid.

>>102855863
This, you're supposed to pay $89 (or lower/zero with applecare) for apple to replace it for you.
They have parts in stock for any non-"Obsolete" phone (7 years old).

>>102868003
Nandroid required rooting. It's not an OOB feature like iTunes backup.

When I had the a51 on rooted android 11, I had more sensors available on stat apps, which showed me the cpu temp was in the 70s.

Indeed.

Now on unrooted android 13, I can't check my cpu temp anymore (?) and Poogle made reading /sys root-only.

Use mpv and toggle background playing.
This has become harder after cuckOS 12.

>>102868418
Use sound assistant if you're on scamsumg's one ui
Check the option for multi sound
>>
>>102868451
I can't find that anywhere tho
>>
>>102868490
Download it from galaxy store. If it's not available in galaxy store cause scamsung like the scum they're blocked it for certain low/mid range phones, just download the apk from any mirror site and you're good to go.

I go to berkeley, you get a free mac, dell or lenovo thinkpad, I think the mac is the most expensive option out of all of them for the university

the CS curriculum is designed to torture enough people out of CS to cope with the shortage of staff, it's a top tier university amazing CS and other academic programs.

I'm not going to say what I think about their hiring policies for new profs

Iqoo and mi phones have the option for it settings. Goodlock or sound assistant for samsung.
I can't believe this isn't a default feature in android and you have to rely on smartphone companies to deliver on it. Don't people have a need for it?

Is the s24U that much better than the s23U?

Or is there a better big phone?

I think the Oneplus (and thus Oppo as well) and Moto Edge phones usually have curved displays.
>>
>>102865906
Android does this too.

>>102866173
I did that with my 4a. Reasonably easy, but I must've messed up somewhere because NFC never worked again. Acceptable tradeoff for double the lifespan, but be careful and have a backup plan just in case.

Is this a good place to ask about smart watches?
I want something with NFC payments and at least a week of battery life when using the device less than typical (eg with most trackers and sensors disabled). Wireless charging also would be nice, but it's not super important.
Currently eying the Amazfit Balance, maybe also the Garmin Vivoactive 5.

>>102869126
the xiaomi 14 ultra gets about 80% of the quality that a vivo x100 pro/x100 ultra/x200 pro gets so you're not wrong that it's a decent option but i feel like if i'm getting a chinkshit phone for its superior camera system i might as well get the vivo

I think the Moto Edge and Moto Edge+ series have curved screens.

Android does what? Because my Samsung has no problem being plugged into a monitor and allowing streaming.
>>
>>102868954
Galaxy's cameras are perfectly fine. Download Camera Assistant if you wanna tweak it.
>>
>>102870949
It might be an "Xperia XZ2 Compact flashed with LineageOS" thing instead of an Android thing. I wasn't able to view any web pages in a Private browsing tab (regular tabs were fine) from my cheap chinese projector connected via Miracast.
Though now that I'm testing it with my S24, which is not rooted and does not have custom firmware, I can see private tabs just fine, so who knows. I don't own Netflix so I can't test to see if that would work.
I have to imagine that maybe there's some HDCP shenanigans going on.
