Well quite frankly I don't think that's going to happen. In Oppo's case it was probably costing them too much $$$ in customer support, bricked device warranty arguments, along with unhappy customers. That was from the many posts I read back in the day on Oppo Forums, now discontinued. If you knew what you were doing as a tech enthusiast, and had sufficient knowledge of the issues, they were usually okay.

The Oppo Reno6, it's a reliable and competent phone from what I've seen, but if you want to root and hack it...Good luck! You're on you're own...no devs. no fun.

For my own uses now I just want a reliable smart-phone that always works. so I have a Samsung these days, unrooted and unmodified of course. The Oppo Find7 I had running CyanogenMod, would occasionally take a dump and reset itself for no apparent reasons. Along with so many, especially banking and financial apps, that will not run on rooted and modified device.

That's why cell companies moved to a 6-month to 1-year policy hold on carrier/sim unlock code release. Plus the whole rope in your business for the minimum. Reliable or not, I enjoy the challenge of Rooting devices. Especially the less common devices, but I'm in Rooting and Upgrading handsets as a hobby. Android Programming. I'm currently working on an OP Nord N200 5G, Revvl 6 5G, iPhone 8, and an old LG L38C. My Custom without Root - Samsung Galaxy A14 5G - is about the only one I'm not trying to root at the moment, but it's still under carrier lock. and it's still the best option.

Ok thanks for advice i surely think about that

If you want to learn how to Root, I suggest learning how to run Platform-Tools (adb and fastboot commands for Android shell/programming). Not sure what chipset OPPO is but learning how to use MTKClient commands as a backup (Also for Android shell/programming if for Mediatek Devices). Rooting can and will brick your device, or get it stuck in a bootloop. So, learn the different reset modes for your devices and learn how to flash the stock ROM to repair any damage you do. NOTE: Rooting also makes your warranty null and void, so any damage caused to the device by rooting attempts is solely the owner's responsibility. Do so at your own risk. But I think it's pretty fun myself. Good luck.

The limitation you are referring to is part of Samsung's responsibilities, they do not provide this data for external usage in their SGW6 firmware unfortunately. But I am waiting to get my own SGW6 to see if I can implement a workaround for this limitation

While I don't have one, olbriar, my wife does.
She's not one to download a bunch of apps to play with, she does do the Facebook and YouTube.
When she first got it I was fairly impressed with it's performance but the lack of an MSD slot worried me. She takes a lot of pictures of our grandkids and has run out of space several times and had to clear out a bunch. No, she doesn't backup to Google and doesn't want to.
It's got a good camera that takes awesome pictures.
As long as she can get me to move her pictures to another drive I think she's gonna hang on to it until it dies.

We’re adding more than 25 new free channels from Google TV, plus full integration from NFL Sunday Ticket.

Hi Everyone,
My wife has been playing with the settings on her Samsung A22 (wish she would stop doing that) and now every time she powers it off and then switches it back on, it asks for the PUK code. How do I change it back to a simple pin code?
Many thanks.

Yes to Nova launcher, have used it for years and never a problem. Ditch the stock launcher and give it a try

1 month of Boost and I have no complaints.
You get 30 gig of high speed data, after that it crawls, but I never use that much data per month.

I'm looking forward to this update.

In your MiXplorer app's Settings menu, go to More Settings, and confirm that Enable OTG is checked. OTG is the default Android service for external USB devices. It probably is already enabled so if that is the case. try Solid Explorer. It's a very popular and feature-rich file manager app.

Solid Explorer File Manager - Apps on Google Play

Organize, protect and share your files in a dual pane layout.

Enable OTG was NOT selected, so probably that is it. I will test later, and thanks for the other File Manager recommendation.

You can look in developer options and check Running services to se what is running so hard.

You can also go into Battery via Settings and see what is using so much power.

Depending upon what you find in those places will dictate how you deal with it.

You sound very elitist. Lots of software, video games, and operating systems require updates to fix issues or add features. Do you avoid those things as well?

Personally, I agree with his views.

There is nothing new.
Virtually everything that is considered 'new' has been done before.
Some 'kid' comes along and thinks he has made something better by making it out of plastic instead of steel, or overcomplicates something simple and thinks that is an improvement.

We have people working on vehicles that are completely lost if they cant connect a computer up to it to tell them what is wrong with it.
Then they have to watch Youtube videos to see how to replace/install something.
This is what passes as a modrrn day 'mechanic'.

I have my Z Fold 4 sharing it's internet connection with my Pixel 6a via bluetooth tethering.

How can I see what type of connection/download speeds I am getting? Is it throttled? My Fold will be connected to 5G network but the Pixel loads websites, emails, etc pretty slow.

Also, does the connection come from my unlimited data or will it use data from my allotted amount for mobile Hotspot? I think I have pole 20GB or something for mobile Hotspot data.

if you're tethering another device, that will be using the phone's mobile hotspot data.

For checking your connection speeds, Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test is often recommended as been reliable. Tethering by Bluetooth can be slow, due to the data limitations of that mode. Try using WiFi tethering instead.

Hello. Since a recent update on my Galaxy, the notifications aren't grouped in the pull down menu. Anyone know how to revert that back?

Come to think of it, I retract my statement!
All is not well after all!!! Lol

So who is actually responsible for updating the content on daily.net? Looks like it hasn't changed in weeks....

Click to expand...

Right now, Daily.net is mostly a placeholder. That being said, we don't have a writing team... so it'll be more of a homepage with resources than a traditional "breaking news" site.

The goal would be to:

• Maintain an updated, structured list of permagreen content (ex: Best Android Phones) that rotates
• Produce a limited amount of high quality editorial content
• Highlight the best threads from the forum and encourage participation

If we pull the trigger on a change, I'd be shooting for a Black Friday launch and try to schedule some "new content" starting January 1st. I'd love to collect a list of people interested in writing guest articles on any topic in our list of primary categories.

I've been flip-flopping immensely - like many of you, I'm nervous about venturing away from AndroidForums.com - but my latest idea would be:

• AndroidForums.com becomes Daily.net with the forum on the home
• The.Daily.Net becomes the "News" focused wordpress site

I've also considered moving AF to BigScreens.com and focusing on Phones, Tablets, TVs, monitors, etc... instead of Android... but that alienates users in a different way (flip phones or other form factors) and gives us a new set of different challenges. I'm not against it, though, and might prefer it. Still plenty of time to decide.

How long before the thread got shut down ....

(I Admin @ several sites and it was past my line of tolerance)





Lethal Weapon series are classic !

Amazon has them for really good prices right now, they're starting at $699.

Well you've got 2 options.
Keep both and move on, or uninstall 1 and move on....

So your Boss thinks you're somewhere, you're not

Yeah, I hate putting on screen protectors. I always do something wrong and get a hair. It gets me so mad.

Or some how I get dirt, dust or whatever and now I have a permanent bubble. My fingers are just not that nimble at putting those things on which is why I always go to the zagg booth and have them put it on for me.

Yeah, no way you can install WearOS on android phones. I've never seen it before.

FYI: You need to uninstall Poly Lens before you install PLT Hub. Otherwise you'll get the invalid error.

DevCheck says "Filesystem sdfat". What is that?

Click to expand...

If it says "sdfat" that means it's either exFAT, FAT32, or FAT16.

It might be possible to use ADB to get more info or format to FAT32. Or use a computer - Windows defaults to FAT32 if it's 32GB or smaller and exFAT for 64GB or larger so you might need 3rd party partitioning software.

I see you are entering a California address while indicating your are in the US Virgin Islands. This is probably the issue.

You can use translator like I do . I only have 1 google account on the phone, and i don't think it has anything to do with it, thanks.
