Help I would like some advice on Xiaomi phones, please.

Why the confusion? That model apparently meets your list of wants.

Is there some other issue that needs to be taken into consideration?
Don't let yourself get caught up in 'buyer's remorse'. We all do to some extent.

The reality is, no matter what phone any of us buy, there's always a better option that was available at a cheaper price. That's just a given. So give some serious thought into what you need in a smartphone, shop around, and then just buy the damn thing. Once you have in your own hands and start setting it up, you can forget about the rest.

You're right, of course, but I am have to take a lot of photos of artwork for my research to document things, I need a good camera and a fair bit of storage so I'm always worried I will make a mistake because I don't really know enough about phones. I was worried if I buy the 8 Pro it might be out of date as the 10 Pro just came out. And now you know why I have been without a phone for four months.

Help Bricked Samsung Tab S5e Tablet - Cant boot into recovery/bootloader

It's not a good sign if you cannot boot up at all. Even if the installed Android operating system was corrupted, you should still be able to at least boot up into Recovery or Download mode as neither is tied directly to the OS (both accessible before the OS even starts to get loaded into memory).

Have you left it charging for at least an hour to so? If there is a serious hardware failure involved, since this is a relatively new model any chance you still have any warranty coverage?

Help Does syncing Google data on one phone also sync data on the other to the servers?

Just enable the syncing on both.

Which data are you talking about anyway? There are many different types of data that may be synced, so "syncing data" is rather ambiguous. Some, such as calendars & contacts, are common to all devices. Others, such as individual app's settings, are specific to the device the app it installed on. And you can enable syncing of some sorts of data without doing others.


I'm mostly talking about things like pages I visited in chrome and my site settings and bookmarks. And apps Ive had on the other phone at one point and especially with most my research done on the Google app, I want to sync any history from getting caught in a "click hole" synced so I can. Some back to am article later if I remember while the kids have the other phone.

A Galaxy Tab 2 is an eight year old device, there's a good chance that whatever router you have is using newer WiFi protocols than this tablet can support.
What router model do you have? Most will be using newer protocols by default but some do include support for older ones (i.e. 802.11b) if you manually reconfigure its settings.
But given how dated this tablet is, there are software and hardware limitations to seriously consider -- there are unavoidable security and privacy issues involved so be very, very judicious doing anything online. It's old device running an operating system and apps that have been abandoned for several years.

Does anyone know what icon this is?

I hate these posts but I seriously cannot find this icon anywhere (not my phone)
unfortunately i do not recognize that icon.

.....so we get this question almost on a daily basis. there are millions upon, millions of apps out there each with their own notification icon. and if you factor in that some websites (if you allow them to) can also send you notifications as well......that's a lot of icons!!!!!!!

so at best you will most likely get guesses from us. you might get lucky and someone here might recognize it, but most of these threads never get truly answered.

the only true way of knowing what an icon notification is is to go thru the phone's notifications. but as in most cases the phone is not accessible for one reason or another.

so unless you can get a hold of the phone, you might not truly know. you can always ask the owner of the phone what it is.

anyways....good luck
