Warmer due to metal body?

Pocophone F1 vs OnePlus 5T

We know that plastic or glass cannot increase their temperature very fast but metals can.

So can metal phones feel warmer at the same temperature just because it can transfer heat from phone CPU on itself faster?

And does OnePlus 5T tend to get overheated?

What would you recommend, OnePlus 5T or Xiaomi Pocophone F1? My priority is durability and performance.

Thank you.

Mandatory 64 bit requirement policy for Android Applications hosted in Play Store

I have an app deployed to app store which is only 32 bit.

So should I just enable the support for 64 bit devices under the android native properties and upload to store, or should I upload two apks, one with 32 bit and other with 64 bit support as mentioned above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Getting a new phone!

My Moto Z² Force Edition, which I love, is only ≈6 months old, but for months I've noticed screen burn-in. I kept trying to ignore it, then today decided to call Motorola while its warranty is still good.

The person I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about! I tried to explain that an image, like a ghost image, has burned into my screen. She asked what troubleshooting steps I had taken, and if they included a factory reset. :o

I explained that this is a hardware issue, and no amount of troubleshooting and wiping my data would solve it.

She's sending out a new phone...

I didn't even think burn-in was a problem any more, certainly not on smartphones. I think of it in terms of 'the olden days' with computer monitors. What's weird is that it happened at all, because I have the screen shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity, so it's not like it was left on overnight or something. *shrug*

Get HTC Emojis on Oneplus 5T?

Hey, I just got myself an Oneplus 5T and I wondered if there is a way to get the emojis from HTC on it? I already searched for it on google but all I can find are some tutorials for the app emoji switcher which seems to only have the emojis from Samsung, IOS, LG and Google. Is there any way to get the HTC ones? Hope you can help me out :/

Root Date-- When?

I bought a Galaxy 4s on line it was listed as mint condition as new, after running into several functions that did not work I learned it had been rooted. It is down to my word against theirs, I have run several apps that confirm this, how do you tell the date it was modified? Any help is appreciated, Thanks,

Hacked, and I know this sounds crazy

But when I chat with Verizon on my phone, or even call them, it's not really them. My ex boyfriend, as it turns out, and unbeknownst to me while we were together, is quite the hacker. It makes sense, his parents owned and then sold a software company they built for 17 million dolars about 10 years ago, and he was babysat by being thrown i front of a computer. He used to get paid fr playing World of Warcraft, he was so good, but then the not so nice breakup and I am really suffering. He was arrested in Florida for drug possession and he blames me, and has been trying to get even ever since. Hes stole my iPhone and knew the password. I had bought a note 9 right before that, and was planning to take it back and get my iphone activated again. He manages to get access to the note 9 and had it for hours whie I thought someone else had stolen it, steals my iphone and said he sold it but I think he kept it, and broke the screen (front and back) on my note 9 so i could not take it back. At first it was just someone getting into my google account and deleting pics and vids and changing settings, then it evolved to me trying to pay traffic tickets by phone, changing car insurance policies by phone, and calling verizon a million times for help, and it turns out, noone of these people had ever heard from me. Who was I speaking to? Most recently, my note 9 went missing, and I ordered a new one from asurion. The one they send has the IMEI and serial numbers blocked off the back of the phone. When I called to explain, the rep was so rude that it could not have been a real rep. Then a man called me saying he was from verizon and I caught him telling two lies and then some random woman calls. They are not real verizon and asurion reps. Who are these people? Then the other day, I get pulled over and the officer sees a bong in the car that is not mine. I might be facing criminal charges for that. Tongiht, I noticed there are gouge marks on the passenger side door where someone was able to pry the door to my car open and likely got in. I have n idea when that could have happened though. I feel like I'm going insane. Can anyone offer any advice or has ever heard of something like this happening? My mom believes me because she heard the verizon people and I think they have compromised her phone too, but what I thought was just a pissed off ex, now seems to be a group of organized hackers. Did he sell my information to someone thats trying to steal my identity? I sound nuts, and no one belives me, except for my poor mom, who is now probably hacked too.

16Gb total storage, Apps only 3Gb, yet no more space

Dear fellow A3 users,

I'm very puzzled by my phone. My apps only occupy 3.3 GB and my phone has total storage capacity of 16GB. I removed all musics, downloads, photos and movies, I cleared any cache files.

And I only managed to get 1.7GB.

How do 3.3 Gb of applications take 14.3 GB of space?
Here is my memory breakdown in the storage menu:
Documents 7.05MB
Images 7.94MB
Audio 4.57MB
Videos 548KB
Applications 3.3GB

Total should make 3.3 GB, maybe 3.4GB, but not 14.3 GB!

How is this difference explained? It's quite relevant for me because every time I take a little bit too much pictures and movies with the phone, I can come close to memory limit pretty quickly and unavoidably my phone becomes slower and slower over time.

Best regards!

Help Recovering files from a blackscreened OnePlus 6

Hi!
Long story short, i broke my screen. The problem now is that i want all the pictures from the phone, but now i can't enable file transfer from the phone. All the solutions i could find online requires debugging, but i don't know how to enable it now with a black screen. It seems like the touch is working.
So is there a way to recover the files remotely with a computer or are there other solutions?
Thank you in advance!

Continuous location sharing problems.

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, (I don't think this pays into my problem) and my partner has a Galaxy S9.
We share our locations with one another, and are both also on the same lookout mobile security account to locate, lock, and wipe our devices should they ever be stolen.
The problem is , they can see me consistently, but I consistently cannot see them in google maps location sharing, nor will their phone show it's location for me using lookout mobile security.

The seems to be rather random, but frequent. I was looking at their phone, and noticed a message in google maps, "location not being shared" or "Location not updating" or something like that with a "fix" link to the right.
Once I clicked the "fix" link, (button) suddenly they appeared on my google maps location sharing.
it worked fine for a day or so and now we are back to them becoming invisible in both maps and lookout mobile security.
I've turned location on, set it to high accuracy, calibrated it, and restarted their phone, but still not matter what i do a some point their phone will disappear from google location sharing.
Any ideas on how to permanently fix this, or what it's cause might be, and why it appears random?
Thanks!

Apps Is it possible to publish an Android app on behalf of a customer?

Hi all.

As a software developer, I develop a white label app that is then branded for my client.

Is it possible to publish the app on behalf of my client so it's under their Google PlayStore account? Will this allow them to respond to customer reviews on the PlayStore?

If it's possible, I believe the client requires to have a google account, but what type of an account and I how can I push the build from my dev account to their account so the client can publish it?

Confused!!!

I know with out a doubt that my phone is hacked and it's all my fault actually. I allowed someone to borrow my phone but didn't think she would do such things to me. I'm trying hard to figure out how it's done so I can actually have a phone that I can use without her and anyone she chooses to do so knowing everything I do. I would also love to have a Google, Gmail, Facebook and messanger account that I could continue to use for more than three days. In reading many many topics of Android spy apps,hacker guides ECT. It all seems very possible. There are 135 apps on my phone it says, I have downloaded probably 10. Many many app files that seem to be normal for Android operating systems but I know she and others see all text and messanger messages, able to forward calls, allow calls to go and come, block calls and much more. I've read everything on how to see if your phone is hacked. My phone behaves exactly how a 'hacked' phone would behave. I've literally had my identity stolen and have become paranoid to no end. I have had this phone less than a month and now while looking at my Google Play under library it reads like my old phone plus this new one. I DIDN'T USE THE SAME GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND USED MY BOYFRIEND'S NAME!!! I'm almost at the point of throwing away the phone forever!!! I'm begging that if anyone can help guide me to a possible answer or to someone who can figure this out please help me. I'm at my wit's end
