Hey lads, quick question. I've got a BV8900 phone. I've had smartart and live wallpaper tabs keep making push notifications so I uninstalled both. But they still kept happening.
I checked here a couple threads ago and an anon recommended Shizuku and Package manager because I'm not very tech savy when it comes to phones, and I did find the hidden installations of the two apps with package manager and removed them. I've checked, they've not been re-installed, but as you can see by picrell, they're STILL sending notifications. And they're locked in settings so I cannot disable them there.
Any ideas on what to do next? Any app that works with Shizuku that lets me unlock locked settings?

Is the base iPhone 17 the only update path for someone who loves his Galaxy S23 and wants something that's batter in every way with no compromise?
S25 is the same shit as the S23, no major improvements. Chinkshit, I'd rather hang myself than use a fucking Vivo or Oppo phone. Pixel is a meme that makes sense for privacy freaks and criminals only.
iPhone 17 on the other hand has better cameras, better screen, same form factor, much better processor, insane battery life for the battery capacity thanks to Apple's OS being kneecapped and cucked in terms of background activity, and the only downsides are, what, no number row on the keyboard, no Mihon, no YT Vanced, and doesn't work well with my Samsung buds and Sony headphones?
That last part might be a deal-breaker honestly, but otherwise I'm tempted bros...

>>107144038
iPhone is your best option

>>107144038
Android is really falling off and im not saying that as an applefag. There are no android phones worth buying at the moment. You might as well just stay with the s23 if you really don’t want to switch

>>107144038
Using Samsung Buds3 with an iPhone at this very second, works fine just no firmware updates. Play pause volume all work. Sony headphones work fine too.

>>107144146
Went from a Pixel 6 Pro to a 10 Pro recently and there isn't a single "killer" feature that differentiates the two. It would be nice if stagnation lead to a new era of crazy phones like they ones being banded around towards the end of the pre-smartphone era.

>>107144239
I have the Buds FE (original) and Sony XM4 (bought last week for 130 bucks). The concern was no SSC and LDAC on iPhone.

>>107144297
I had the XM4 and they used AAC on Samsung and iPhone even after toying with the quality settings.

the way I did it was that on my old phone I backed up WhatsApp and used the number attached to my WhatsApp on the new phine and it just brought everything in from the back up, you dont have to pay or anything its free. Its done right through WhatsApp. maybe in settings you had backup turned off or you changed your phone number and thats why it didnt do what it did for me.

I only prefer Android because of the offline gallery and music apps, and it's easy to transfer files to windows. If not for that, I'd probably be an applefag.

Both of them are good for their own good in that price range so I really don't know. The Edge has obviously battery issues, but decent tech and the Z80 Ultra has an enormous battery but some tech and software issues. I.e. the latter has a very shitty selfie camera.

I'm tempted too desu and have similar feelings, Sony headphones (Xm4) and all

I'm coming from an S23+ and want something smaller and my only choices are: an S25, which is kinda boring since it's literally the same phone but smaller that I have now with no real upgrades, a zflip 7 since it's smaller (using the little screen) and it would be something different, but then I have to deal with the anxiety of fucking up that inner screen, or the iPhone. And, all things considered, for the price I think the 17 is the nicest option. I like pixel devices but the fact that the new ones use their own chip and its dog shit turns me off since I would want to be able to play games on my phone if I want.

>>107145047
I dont know what you mean but we have off-line galleries and music apps too. I think you forgot that the iPhone has an iPod built into it since the first ever model. you can also easily transfer files to Windows since forever. You just plug the phone into your computer and you can even use it as a hard drive and you can plug SSDs and USB flash drives into the iphone and transfer files directly into the phone without a computer, I dont know why you think an iPhone would not be capable of such simple smartphone tasks in 2025. kek

well it sounds like the camera is important to you so go that route. I think the edge is pretty cool though, but thats just my opinion

Q3 2025.
Apple is a revenue power house thanks to its global popularity as the number 1 selling smartphone company! Samsung and Oppo are doing good and Vivo did well too! the graph also shows the cost of oppo phones is going up per the average selling price and apple still has the highest average selling price and still holds the top spot. people pay more for apple willingly against other brands that cost way less.

>>107148833
There is no "best" period, only the best for you. For me, the iPhone Air was the best phone because I like the way it feels and the compromises are acceptable, some might need a chunkier battery and more camera lenses (particularly telephoto) and go for the 17 Pro or Pro Max, others want Android and will go for an S25 Ultra (I'm selling mine :) or Pixel 10 Pro XL if they want Google Android (or GrapheneOS...soon). Or maybe some gaming phone or chinkphone will be better value for hardware, but might come with even worse software than Samsung OneUI.

>>107149941
Oh really? You think any device can run Lineage? You think every Android phone can be bootloader unlocked? Spoiler: most can't.

Also the trade offs of having a red Play Integrity status and unlocked bootloader make it not worth it for the vast majority of people, even if their device can be unlocked and has Lineage support in the first place.

>b-but I run insecure root tools to trick Google into letting me run waifu games and banking apps
These will stop working at some point, probably when you need it most. If your time is worthless, you can play cat and mouse with Google's security team I guess.

Just don't let your phone get swiped, no theft protection on an unlocked bootloader. Just gotta flash stock and lock and they can sell your phone to a more responsible owner.

>>107149992
Well I haven't audited every phone but I can see literally hundreds of models on xda in like a 10 second browse checking like 2 manufacturers alone, a good portion are unlocked unofficially by dedicated fans and then have lineage ported to them by people who feel like adjusting the kernels etc. But if your whole argument is it's not real lineage because you had to exploit the bootloader yourself then whatever, dishonest argument at best but sure?

"it will get stolen" Well it's still ungoogled and running sideloaded apps isnt it? I personally haven't ever had a phone stolen so I dont really give a shit but there's hardening work arounds for this as well like there is with anything usually. Of course most normies wont do shit but thats never been a compelling argument to the people doing shit

>>107149992
No iPhone can ever run a non-spyware OS.

Google is an advertising company. The 10s of people running LineageOS with gimped features are an anomaly. GrapheneOS is great, Lineage is meh, but a stock iPhone is more private than Google Android and you don't compromise on features.

>>107152533
Tech specs? Not the only reason people buy phones. Pixels are selling relatively well despite underwhelming hardware, particularly the garbage SoC for the price point. A leaked Google document said they were aiming for $65 for their system on a chip, which is absolute poverty tier, and you get what you pay for.

Want the fastest Qualcomm chip (8 Elite Gen 5)? You won't find it paired with a decent software experience, you MIGHT get OneUI which is passable- depending on region (most are getting Exynos). But more likely you'll get a heavy Chinese skin like ColorOS or HyperOS that mimics Apple iOS by slathering 50 lbs of makeup on vanilla Android.

For me my priorities are design, a clean OS, and powerful hardware. PixelOS and iOS are the only two I consider to not be bastardized, and again Pixel hardware isn't very powerful. The insane design of the iPhone Air won me over.

I was between the s25u, the s26u (leaks say little to no improvements in camera and battery) and the Oppo find x9 pro.

I ended up getting the Oppo due to its 7500mah battery and better camera. Although I'm having doubts about it as the s25u was around 200euros cheaper. Still, the Oppo includes a watch that is worth around that value.(Oppo watch x2)

I read many complains about the cameras and battery life of the s25u and older devices having issues, and that put me off

The idea that iOS freezes all background processes is a myth, but the characterization does reflect a core difference in how the two mobile operating systems handle multitasking.

Apple simply can't trust their users to manage background tasks on their phone.
So THEY install all the background services they want for their apps while gatekeeping the ability from everyone else, including the user of the phone.

Android was hell for background apps for a long while as well, though. OEMs would include background app killer daemons to randomly kill background activities and services, even if Android is supposed to guarantee they keep running.
It didn't stop until Google forced OEMs to drop this shit.

the iphone 17 pro max a19 pro beat the xiaomi 17 pro max

>the redmagic 11 pro (non plus) has 500mAh more than the global plus but is only available in China
How dare they.
I don't give a fuck about the slightly worse charging or the gimmicky watercooling, just give me those extra mAh.
GIVE IT TO ME

On iOS apps stay open so they can pickup right where you left off. If that’s not multitasking to you then you are fucking retarded. Where does this myth come from that you can’t multitask on iOS? If I leave a game and come back a couple of hours later it will open back up exactly where I left off on my iPhone. Meanwhile on every Android I ever had it would restart the game. You liars are cringe as hell

They sleep, they don't run in the background except under special circumstances. This is a good thing for battery.

>>107159552
Because iPhones are all budget trash with half if not 1/3 the RAM of similarly priced phones. Has been that way for decades. Anyone actually using an iPhone will get their apps force closed on them and reloaded. It's literal common knowledge, even normies know about this problem this without even knowing anything about technology. You literally can't defy the physics of RAM capacity.

>living in the past
My iPhone Air has 12GB of RAM. The S25 Ultra, still the best Android you can buy in terms of hardware with OK software, has 12GB of RAM except for some super duper rare variant with 16GB. The OnePlus 14 (oops I mean 15 numbah 4 very bad for chinaman) has either 12 or 16GB of RAM. When the RAM amount is equal, this parity is actually an advantage to the iPhone, as apps tend to be less bloated due to not being written in or compiled to Java.

nta, the ++ -- operators are just ambiguous in behavior for basically no gain, its good they were removed. but, that last error in your screenshot is literally the compiler shitting itself though. its so trash and unbearably slow that I dropped the language

>obsessed with associating iPhones and India
This is the biggest forced meme ever. In rich countries, people use iPhones more often, sometimes an outright majority like in Japan and North America. In a poor country like India, only less than 5% use Apple phones.

Why so obsessed with associating iOS with a country that barely uses it, a nation presumably on the other half of the planet? Or are you Pakistani, and this is why India lives rent free in your head? That would at least make a bit of sense why you seethe at pajeets 24/7/365.

Making India the "Mecca of iPhone" is like calling a strict Muslim country where alcohol is forbidden the best place to party, or designating a 95% black country the whitest place on Earth. It's just so retarded and forced that there has to be something else at play here.

I'm currently on LineageOS 19.1, which is like two and a half years old and I'm considering upgrading to 23.0, Installation guide says
>Warning: This step will wipe your personal data and remove any user-installed apps. If these are important to you, then you should back them up before performing the upgrade.

I'm just a retard, is there a "correct" or "better" way of backing up your phone than simply just putting the entire internal storage on your pc & then putting everything (that doesn't seem related to the OS) back on afterwards?

>>107161269
unless they're something different in that language they're extremely basic and very useful operators.
Unless you're single digit IQ I don't see how they could be ambiguous in behaviour

>>107161872
Most apps are going to store stuff in the cloud, your FB Messenger, etc.

You basically have it right, back up whatever you don't want to lose to a PC or USB drive. SMS Backup and Restore does just that for text messages. You'll basically do a factory reset on the phone.

>>107162043
I just remembered google has their own backup thing, you think that's worth doing in addition or would it just make shit more confusing?
I'm mainly worried I'd have to reconfigure a lot of apps again to how I like them

>>107161880
lets say I do this, what's the result?

what about now?

1 + + 2;
its just unnecessary unclear

the result is that you're a moron
Does that even compile?

>schizo reasons or aesthetic reasons
Both. Aesthetic solutions I'm assuming it means under display camera? Thanks, I guess I'll keep tabs on oldie Zenfone 8 Flip and LG Wing for a few more years hoping my Honor 9X doesn't break. Maybe old obsolete smartphone is a good middle ground between latest spyware and full dumbphone.

>>107147434
>aesthetic reasons
as well
Full screen looks comfy. I still fucking HATE that normalfags just accepted notches and punches and other retarded shit.

>>107162796
>Aesthetic solutions I'm assuming it means under display camera?
yes, the redmagic has it. the xperia has the camera in a small bezel

>>107163231
>bezel
Bezel >>>>> notch/punch
It's the same retarded logic of "muh thin" except the camera section is fucking thicc. I'm glad to know they still make bezels, so I might look into that as well when my current goes under.

>>107163615
bezel in 2025 are icky
