When do you plan to upgrade

I've had my 6T since it was released and couldn't be happier with the phone. Battery life is still close to like it was when new. Thought I might upgrade when the 9T is released but as long as the phone is still receiving regular updates I might hang on a little longer. Your thoughts?
As with you Jfalls63, I have had sterling service from my OnePlus 6T. I look forward to receiving Android 11 on it, possibly in Q2 of 2021 after trying some Open Beta test firmware's first.

Even though I also have the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G I still interchange it with the 6T. I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the OnePlus 8T and felt it was a downgrade from the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Like yourself, I will see what the OnePlus 9T has to offer in another 10/11 months time. :D

sync google drive to sd card files and sync google drive to files in general, both pc and android

trying to figure a way to either have super backup make a duplicate copy to google drive every time there is a scheduled backup in addition to the local storage or have my local storage sd card folder for super backup be auto synced to google drive?
just basically is it possbile to have google drive folders sync either to their pc folders or phone sd card folders ???
eg. so when ever a new file is added the file is added to google drive and whenever a file is changed the changed version is updated to google drive

computer freezes on App->New->New Module

Hi i've compiled programs and loaded and executed them on my phone using AS 4.1.1 without any issues. But if i have a project open and i do App--> New--> New Module the computer brings up the New Module dialog and then just slips onto a coma. I open Task Manager and it says the computer is overloading like a an elephant in a rickshaw. After a few minutes i just have to give up and hit cancel.
Anybody else have this happen?

Samsung Galaxy Watch Titanium

I have this watch and like it. For people with sleep disorders, the monitoring can be helpful. The price tag is a little steep for the performance and lack of titanium band. 3.5 stars is all I would give. I prefer the performance and functionality of the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. I get up to 4 days battery with the Tic. In the end, I would buy again.

Help Same Android smartphone as hotspot and connected device to same itself hotspot. is it possible?

Funny I was trying to do the same two days ago..because first of neither do I have wifi at home..and I'm not going to pay for that extra when I already have it inherent in my data plan that I'm already paying for to begin with(even my service provider wants to make an extra buck out of me, you & them)..

I played with it almost the whole day through..

I even created a "new network" around my area from my Note5..so my Note4 and my other divices connect and share that in that way they can work together..but that network is not viewble
not in my Note4 or other devices..just in the one I created from(the Note5)..

What @MrJavi (he is the man of the goog goodies) says sounds very interesting..but a little dangerous for someone who doesn't know what he is doing(that would be me!!!..lol..but I'm tempted because I need that sharing connection)..

Google Pay Android Tipping

I've followed this google pay android tutorial: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/guides/tutorial#java and I'm confused af. I've got the user credit card data in a tokenized form, great, and now what? Why is there no tutorials online that explain setting up google pay from start to finish?

I want users to be able to pay whatever they like in-app, like a tipping system.

Anyone have any solid resources on this use case?

Thanks a bunch!

Has T-Mobile Coverage Improved Recently Compared to Verizon and AT&T?

I've used all the carriers over the years and 3 years ago settled on Verizon because it had the best coverage outside of cities. Seems like Tmobile in the past really concentrated on building their network in cities and marketing to mainly urban customers. When I'd get into some of the outer suburbs and even more so, rural areas while on road trips with people, the people with Verizon almost always had a signal, closely followed by AT&T and Tmobile would frequently drop out the further you got from the city.

I have a factory unlocked S20+ that supports CDMA and GSM and all the 5G bands. I'm disappointed that Verizon has basically bamboozled it's customers into thinking they have super fast 5G everywhere, when in reality their 'Ultra Wide' millimeter band 5G is only available in like 0.5% of the country, and their 'Nationwide 5G' is basically rebranded 4G LTE+, but using sub 6 4G frequencies with Dynamic Signal Sharing (DSS) resulting in speeds that are not much different than 4G LTE+.

I've read that T-mobile has invested in mid-band 5G so they have a 5G network that has a balance between coverage and speed as opposed to Verizon's current, 'all or almost nothing' coverage/speed balance.
I'm wondering from those that in the past few months that have gone between Verizon and T-Mobile (either direction) that have traveled outside the city, has T-Mobile's coverage improved due to the Sprint Merger?

I believe Sprint is CDMA so theoretically I'm thinking T-Mobile might be the best choice considering I have an unlocked phone that support TMobile's GSM towers and Sprints CDMA towers. But has Tmobile truly integrated all the towers for these dual-network capable phones? Or is the T-Mobile service still significantly behind Verizon and AT&T as far as total coverage outside the cities?

I have a new Pixel 4a 5G on TMo. I'm primarily in the burbs outside LA and only get LTE. Last week I was in the city and the icon switched from LTE to 5G. I ran a speed test and the 5G was no better than LTE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED!

Tablet help

As I thought, they're no-name devices from China. I'm certain Sky Go a no go on these. You may want to contact Sky customer service and enquire about it, as to what they do actually support. As for the "rooted device" error, try a Root Checker app, and see what that reports. Some no-name devices have been known to come rooted from the factory. Or it maybe that Sky Go just can't identify a maker, for their approved devices, and it's assuming it's a rooted and modified device.
Ok. Thanks. I will give Sky a call and see if they can help in any way. I was hoping that there would be some super tech savvy person who could work some magic for me. Lol.
