Help Brand new to android phones, help me pick

Hi guys! I dont know where to ask, i have seen about 25 ish videoes on youtube, read some sites.. read some more sites... and... read...... you get the point

I am new to android phones, i went from Siemens, to Sony Ericsson to Iphone as my smartphone, i have had Iphone sience the first iphone. I am very happy with my iphone. BUT.. i wanna try something new.

I have decided between One Plus 9Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.. i dont know why Samsung is there, but might have something to do with it beeing abit main stream. I have never heard about OnePlus.. and certantly not Xiaomi ( i dont know how to say that name irl).

I am not a Photographer or Videomaker, but i want to use the Camera alot of my phone.

Out of these two, what would you guys reccomend and why. Answers like "Pick the one you like" , "S21 ultra is the best" or " Xiaomi " does not work for me. As i have never seen the two brands, i can only know about them from you guys and the rest of the internett.

As far as i have concluded: Both have amazing screen, Both have good cameras, Both as fast and Xiaomi have better battery, but does not look as good as the OnePlus. OnePlus is also cheaper

Would i as an Amature Photographer, Videomaker and Android user see and feel the difference?

Only one is for sale in my country atm, but i can wait for the Xiaomi

[Game][Free] Numbers Game - Numberama 2

Hi,

7 years after I have released the first version of Numbers Game I decided to create a new version completely from scratch: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kila.zahlenspiel2.lars

Some of you may know the Numbers Game from school or university when you might have played it with paper and pen. In this game you have to cross out all the numbers on the playing field. Two numbers can be crossed out, if the numbers are equal, or add up to 10. The two numbers have to be side by side or on top of each other. The right side of the board wraps around to the left side, so numbers on the right side are next to the numbers on the left, but one row down. The two numbers can have crossed-out numbers between them.
If you cannot or do not want to cross out any more numbers and you do not want to use Boosts, you then press "Check". All the numbers remaining on the board are then copied after the existing numbers and the game continues.

Additionally to that basic rules there are some additional features:
- Level mode with games with increasing difficulty
- Boosts: Shuffle the board or remove crossed out numbers
- Highly customizable
- No ads
- Google Play Games Services for leaderboards and saved games
- And some more

The game has an in-game currency (coins) that you can purchase but also gain by solving games. With the coins you can use some features that make it easier to solve the game.

Here is a screenshot of the game:

Help Clone a device to recover my mined BTC

I have an old Nook on which I installed Cyanogen Mod years ago. I used it to mine some Bitcoin for a bit (using an app called Coin Miner Android). The APP claims that I have 571K Satoshis on it but will only allow me to transfer it via a camera scan of a QR code.

I was thinking I might be able to use a cloning method to transfer the entire image to another device that actually has a camera so I could recover the Bitcoin that way.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

How Telegram can be messy in privacy matters - Caveats

(messenger app v7.6.0 on android v8)

It took me quite some efforts, time and stress to understand following points, I'd like to share with others.

- When I first create a Telegram account, Telegram is asking if my phone contacts can be read. If I accept (which everybody very likely will do, not aware of the consequences), Telegram will upload all my phone contacts on their (cloud) servers. In this process, Telegram will check 2 things: 1) is any on these contacts already member of their club (= already created a Telegram account before) AND 2) is any of these contacts having my phone number (the number I used for the Telegram account creation!). When I say "is having" it means that they have my phone number (known by Telegram) in the contacts which were synchronised (uploaded) with the Telegram servers, on their side. If both checks can be answered by yes, all these people will immediately be informed by a notification and chat creation, that I just joined Telegram! (The notification can be switched off in the app settings but the chat creation simply CANNOT!).

- If I don't change my privacy settings, any further contact I'll save in my phone contacts will be immediately uploaded (=synced) on the Telegram (cloud) servers and the process of automatic information (see above) will be continued.

- I can only see in my Telegram contacts, people who created an account on Telegram, connected with a phone number which is saved my phone contacts (and this number has been synchronised with the Telegram servers). Hence if one of my phone contacts created a Telegram account with another number than the number I have saved in my phone contacts, I won't be able to see this contact in my Telegram contacts. So concretely it means that, if I created a Telegram account with number B, and the person I'm having in my phone contacts (having my number A in its phone contacts) also created a Telegram account, I will see this contact in my Telegram contacts BUT the person will NOT see me in his Telegram contacts at all!

- The "last seen" status always remains visible (although only in terms of recently (1-3 days), week, month, long time ago), whatever setting you choose in the privacy settings. Only blocked contacts will always just see the "last seen a long time ago" status.

- If you set your profile photo (in privacy settings) to be visible only for "My Contacts", it concretely means that the contact must be somehow mutual. So what does mutual mean? For sure it means "if both are seeing each other" in their respective Telegram contacts list. Now there is probably also an additional scenario possible: I didn't test this but I assume, if there is a chat (even empty, as when it's automatically created), it's very likely considered as mutual too. To be concrete, if created my Telegram account with phone number B and my "friend" is having my phone number A (or none at all) saved in his phone contacts (while syncing with Telegram), I can see his pic by default. Now if he is later changing his privacy settings to 'My Contacts' only, I guess it will remain like that. To be very clear, I didn't test this so far, so it's just an assumption. (Feel free to correct me if my assumption is wrong.) Last but not least, there is a way to add exceptions in the privacy settings, but all this is not active by default.

Bottom line: I don't like (not to say I hate) the way Telegram is handling privacy. You need almost to be a rocket scientist, to understand all what is going on in the background (on their cloud servers and in their main offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates). There's simply no transparency at all and no precise information given, especially prior becoming member of their fan club. You can (and your really should!!) got through all the possible settings hidden under "privacy and security". But even then, for most of us it will have been too late anyway!

You can of course (as I did) switch off the (future!) contact synchronisation. That being said, you have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself, about also deleting all the already automatically uploaded contacts. Be aware that "delete synced contacts" deletes all the Telegram contacts only, so your phone contacts (saved prior to install the app) will not be touched! If you just switch off the synchronisation, it will not change anything in the present moment, so understand well this important difference.

I hope this post was not too confusing and will help others. Feel free to comment or correct me, if something is wrong.

Help Android 9 and SD card formatting?

Probably well known but not to me, I have a Moto E6 plus and have a 64gig card as portable storage, it seems the default is fat32 so file sizes of more than 4 gig cant be transferred, so some movies are not transferred.

I intend to get a 128 gig card, so my question is are all SD cards that are formatted as portable storage formatted to fat32? And if formatted as internal storage will it be formatted to exfat so larger files can be transferred? Or is formatting dependent on card size? I don't currently have a spare card so can't experiment.
