To upgrade or not upgrade, that is the question

OK... Answered my own question.
I waited until January 8th. Once I saw that Google fixed all the nasty issues, I took the plunge. It took ten minutes to move to v10.

But then it took an hour to run 5 months of security updates. Since 10 came out they stopped all the automatic updates, so I had to run them all since last August.

I'm glad I took the Android 10 plunge on this 2 xl. No issues at all so far, and the battery life definitely got way better.

The only thing I hate, and can't get rid of is that damn Emergency icon when you press and hold the power button. I use it a lot for screenshots and I've hit the Emergency button already. Too bad I can't get rid of it.

If you have a tablet, a telephone with a really good resolution screen, I recommend you the version 'QHD 4k' and the 3 musics are sampled in 192 kb although the '480P' version is supposed to work on those machines.
This version weighs 39 M.

If you have a tablet, a telephone with a good resolution screen, I recommend you the version '1080P' below (fullhd or 1080p) and the 3 musics are sampled in 64 kb although the '480P' version is supposed to work on those machines.
This version weighs 17 M.

If you have like number games and puzzles, this game is made for you.
If you are a casual gamer, this is the kind of game that you should try.
This game is totally free and you could play it offline (without internet).
I hope you enjoy the game.
Thanks for the reading.

Help Netflix isn't compatible with HTC U11?!

so is the phone rooted then? and are you saying that netflix will not work on a rooted phone? or a phone that has the bootloader unlocked?

Just unlocked bootloader. I found a xda thread that mentioned some change in play store that allowed devs to block *any* phones with unlocked bootloaders. Netflix is one of the apps that did it.
Phone is totally stock, but even couple years ago you could not get HTC from a carrier, so it is unlocked.

I'm Back

I'm hoping it's similar to when I sort of came back. I posted--only in Private Chat, I think--what had happened and why I'd been gone. Then it was like another year before I really came back! I thought I felt better than I actually did that first time. :D

Let's hope it's something similar--but it's hard not to worry when someone's come back, they've been ill, and then they're gone again...

A Decade of Android!

The Droid was released with Android Eclair, and the fastest way we could get Froyo on it was custom ROMs. Of course, with such small RAM, space was at a premium! So it was amazing that the Droid was able to do everything it did with only 512MB. And that wasn't just for the OS - all the APPS had to operate within that, too!
My Droid still runs today. It's been running non-stop as my alarm clock. I *think* it's running a Chevy rom, but I forget. I hesitated rooting it, but finally did and loaded sapphire on it. It's how I found my way here to AF. :)

Installing Android onto persistent USB stick + Google Parent

Android X86 install and runs perfectly well on Dell Laptops, You can run it 'live' from a USB stick or DVD, to see how well it runs on your laptop. But, to install it you'll need to reboot and choose install from the Android boot menu. DO NOT attempt to partition the hard disk, as Android has it's own partitioning scheme that's very different to either Windows or Linux. I had better results using Lineage OS (also so on the Android X86 site)

The current version is based on Android 8.1, and there's a beta of Android 9. It really is full Android on a Laptop. Don't worry about a lack of touchscreen, the Laptop's touchpad works just fine.

lg k20 sd card question
