Goodbye to my old Pixel

There's the standard earpiece speaker at the very top edge of the display, and a second speaker that fires out of the bottom of the phone.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7157629

(And yes, a headphone jack too. I assume that's functional but I couldn't find any old-timey headphones to test with. ;) )

That's what the original Pixel had, and that's really the only drawback for me. I much preferred the front facing stereo speakers of the Pixel 2 & 3 vs the 1 front & 1 bottom firing the OG Pixel had. To watch a YouTube video in landscape, you had to cup your palm around the bottom firing speaker so you didn't block the sound. But otherwise I'd say he should definitely see an improvement in performance over the OG Pixel.

Transferred from AT&T, now low signal problems

Can you not connect thru WiFi? When I was on ATT, I *thought* I was in a high signal area - until I finally got frustrated, drilled down on their coverage map, and saw there was a hole right in my home area. Go to your provider's web site coverage map and drill down to street level. If you're in a hole, they're should let you out of your contract.

s7 16gb to 32 gb motherboard

Hang on, the SM-J737a isn't an S7, it's a J7! That's a completely different phone, so swapping motherboards isn't an option: it's unlikely to even fit physically, and peripherals like the display are completely different. So the G930's motherboard won't be able to drive the J737's peripherals: the connectors are unlikely to be compatible or in the right place, and even if they are physically compatible the drivers will be wrong. If you want to use the G930 you need to get the screen fixed.

The good news is that the IMEI doesn't matter: put your SIM in a different phone and the number moves with it. In fact while I don't know US law on this, where I am in the UK it's illegal to modify an IMEI, and I'd regard anyone who offered that "service" as shady at best (since the primary reason for doing this is to work around blacklisting of stolen phones).

Anyone know a video app that will allow audio via USB

You can record both separately, and then sync them together.

Record your video however you wish, and record the sound in mp3 format however you wish. Transfer the mp3 over to the phone, and the video too if need be.

Then use YouCut, a very simple, effective app, to put the two tracks together.

https://video-zip.en.uptodown.com/android

Start by playing the video in your gallery/video player, and then choose to share it.

Share it to YouCut.

Now add the soundtrack.

You can precisely insert the soundtrack, and test it until you get it just right, and then save it.

Help Trying to use my Phone as a internet modem to power wireless router

Hotspot = tethering, or specifically wireless tethering. Wired tethering would be connecting your phone to your laptop via USB and the laptop using your phone's internet connection that way. "Reverse tethering" is using a cable to provide an internet connection to your phone.

My guess is that when you connect your network adapter to the phone it identifies it as an ethernet source and is attempting to set up for reverse tethering, which of course isn't working because there is no internet connection at the other end. This is anyway the opposite of what you want, but it would explain it sitting there and timing out.

You may be able to set up wired tethering between phone and laptop using a USB cable - just a USB cable, not a network adapter. But I don't believe you'll be able to connect the phone to the router and then have the router forward the connection via WiFi or cable: the router's input socket will be expecting the signal protocol your phone network provides, not the protocol the phone outputs during wired tethering (which I'd expect will be more like the output of the router than the input to it).

Hello, I'm the developer of Nap: Notification History Timeline and Manager

Hello, I'm João and I've been developing a notifications' manager for Android: Nap.

I started developing Nap for two reasons:
  1. I used to get notifications and I didn't want to interact with them immediately, but I also didn't want to dismiss and lose them (this became less of an issue in Android 11);
  2. I was getting notifications too often.
So, I aimed to create a simple timeline for my Android notifications. Naturally, the concept evolved and I have additionally developed features to organize and manage notifications, such as snooze and automatic dismissal.

Nap is an application you won't be using often and I've designed it to not be addictive and to never ask for your attention unsolicitedly. It is completely free and it respects your information. Your notifications are solely yours and stored locally only.

After starting to use Nap, I eventually stopped feeling any pressure to interact with my notifications, which was somewhat freeing. I definitely recommend using an application to manage your notifications and there are plenty on Google Play.

In that sense, I would like to invite you to try out Nap. I’m also looking for feedback, namely:
  • what do you like and don't like about it;
  • which problem can it help solve in your day-to-day life, if any.

Thank you!

Do android phones become unsupported?

I tend to be similar: I jumped from 2.3 to 4.1, then 5.1 to 8.0. I do now have an Android 7 device since I put Lineage 14 on my old HTC One (sans gapps), but I've never owned an Android 6 device.

I've been wondering this afternoon whether to stick the Android 11 beta on my Pixel 2, but that's just displacement activity as I'm bored with the work I'm doing...

Anyone know what app this notif is from?

Are they into romantic fiction? That's the first thought that a flower stem + heart image brings to my mind.

The trouble is that there are so many different apps, and different types of apps, that use a heart as their logo or part of the logo that it's always a long shot trying to identify them. Though I do tend to think that if I were cheating I'd have more sense than to send screenshots with incriminating notifications visible.
