Android

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using phones for years, and battery life is always near the top of my concerns. Specs say 4000-5000 mAh, fast charging, etc., but what really matters is how the OS handles everything behind the scenes.

So I’m really curious: between Android and iOS, which one do you think manages battery life better in day-to-day use?

Here are some specific questions I’d love your input on:

Which OS do you feel drains battery faster when doing routine stuff (browsing, messaging, videos)?

Do you find one OS handles background apps more efficiently?

How much do things like push notifications, dark mode, or adaptive brightness help?

Have you noticed big improvements in battery performance after switching OS version or...

Hi all.

I used Android phone to do: 1) take a screenshot; 2) camera take a picture; and sent both to ESP32_TFT through BLE by MIT APP, the 1) got better display , but 2) got realy bad display, its why I guess maybe the 1) and 2) working at different principle?

Thanks for any clue.

Is there a program available that will allow one to clone identical model Android cellphones? Something like the programs available for PC's that allow you to image the master and duplicate it on other PCs?

We want to issue our sales force identical phones that are supplied by our network people.

The only programs I can find so far only allow you to backup contacts, SMS, etc but do not duplicate the GUI layouts on the screens.

Thanks in advance!

Can a person talk with another person or group of people without a visible phone like maybe through Bluetooth or something and without visible earbuds and can people watch you through your cameras on the phone without you knowing...

A few months ago I found a dinged up Sony Xperia 1 in a dumpster. It has a password on it that I haven't been able to guess yet. I have spent 30+ hours trying to unlock it, flash firmware, and get to the recovery menu by powering up while holding down the volume down button. If there is anyone out there that has been successful in resetting one of these phones without the password I would love to get some help from you.

Hello to all,
I'm in need of some serious help, I am currently stuck in a nightmare. I was recently stalked and harassed by a real sick individual. This individual sent me numerous threatening text messages, but they don't show up on phone records. I am so beyond confused and beside myself. How is this possible??? Can anyone offer me some input because I'm really flabbergasted

Please,can anyone help me?! My device is locked and I can't hard to reset. My phone doesn't have that option available. I've tried everything I can think of. No help from manufacturer, network provider or the company the phone came from. It locked during initial setup.I even tried Find My Device,it couldn't locate.I don't know where else to turn!

I just purchased an S23 Ultra and I am getting 2 notifications on my gmail when there is only one. Can someone help.

Newby question here: I'd like to activate voicemail on my shiny new Galaxy a11. Googling for advice, I'm told to hit the voicemail icon in Phone app. Catch 22: there is no such icon! At the Phone app screen I see the keypad, the tilted green phone, and three choices: Keypad, Recents, Contacts. No voicemnail icon. What to do, what to do?? TIA for help!!

I'm researching the possibility of using a cell phone signal booster on my Vespa -?-

I currently listen to YouTube full musical albums while scooting. I live on the northern California coast. There are 'pockets' of seemingly no signal available; while, the majority of the time the signal is fine.

I currently have a 'booster' in my travel trailer (12v system) & it works fine.

I'm curious whether a similar unit would work while riding the scooter -?-

I have room in the glove compartment and/or under the seat where it could be mounted.

Any info/referral will help.

Thanks, Mark

Has anyone else had a problem lately with a software upgrade?

I know how to add ringtones and select them for the default ringtone. However, I want to add a custom ringtone to specific contacts. Yes, I know to go to the contact and click on the menu to select a ringtone. However, the only ringtones I see are in the Preset folder. I can't find that folder when I connect to my PC via USB. The other option is Sound, but it's empty. Does anyone know how to access those folders to add different ringtones?

I'm interested in getting a DJI M4 handheld gimbal. Does anyone have experience or issues with compatibility?

I've just downloaded the latest update and for some reason it's disabled the alerts for incoming emails (both the buzzer sound and the visual alert on the home screen). I remember the same thing happening about 12 months ago and it resolved itself in a few days. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Hello,

I have a LG AS330 phone running Android 5.1.1. I just downloaded a Youtube video from www.youtubnow.com. At the top of the video, it shows the video location on my phone as: file:///storage/emulated/0/1. I cannot find this location on my phone. Does my phone have to be rooted in order to find this location?

Thank you

Writing to inquire how one can configure the LG Aristo 2PLUS to make images and files available for transfer when connected to desktop

Have the LG Aristo 2 PLUS as a hand me down. Finding that I cannot connect to public wifi. This is a T-Mobile phone.

Launching GOOGLE produces the message: You're Offline... Check your connection... Have checked everything I know to be related to WiFi. Hoping for an informed reply...

I can't see the top three numbers on my keypad display. They are covered up by phone call info what can I do
