Accessories Aukey EP-B60 Wireless HeadSet

Greetings,

Another great product from Aukey for our popular Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and other media devices. As usual here, I'm not getting paid for any of these reviews. I am sent a product for my honest reviews, and at the end of the period, I am allowed to keep the product.

The Aukey EP-B60 is a cutting edge device that has been expanded upon. It is a bluetooth device that works great with my Note 8. The device has the new magnetic off/on switchology, so that all I have to do is pull the ear buds apart and the device automatically turns on. There is a volume up/down, track forward/backwards switch. It does have a type C USB charging cable that is included, but the charger is not. It took a bit of close up searching to find the flap to open for charging, but the device is so well put together, that it is actually nice that it is a bit hard to find. After a full charge, the EP-B60 will last for approximately 8 hours before it needs charging again.

The sound is a rich and deep sound without the "tin cup" sound. There is more than enough volume when on the phone or just listening to music. I'l include some pictures, but you really want to try a set of these for yourself. I priced them on a reputable shopping website and they sell for about $26. Oh, I almost forgot, it comes package very nicely. Each part had its own place and was not just "thrown in the box". It also comes with a nice rubber carrying case.

Overall, I think you will like this headset, and I highly recommend it for the quality and price.

LG V50 ThinQ 5G - Cheap Fast Internet!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm thinking about the LG flagships insane price drops after some months after release... Like the G7 got from 800$ to 300-400$ in just some months after release
Same with the other recent Gs and Vs
So, I was thinking... Man, the V50, 5G flagship from LG, is going to be 900-1000$ according to GSMArena, but, like other LGs, it will drop in price, maybe to 700$ (even 600$ if lucky), so it will just be the most affordable 5G flagship phone, which will be a crazy good deal (5G for 700$, while S10 5G is 1,100-1,200$).
Other than 5G, it has the powerful Snapdragon 855, enough RAM, enough storage and maybe a pretty good flagship camera. Sure, no crazy couple of ToF sensor like S10 5G, but still, pretty good for its price.
Also, the Mate 20 X 5G, potential Huawei 5G phone, I assume that it will still be pretty much the giant Mate 20 X from the last year, but with a 5G capable modem and *maybe* a slightly better processor... But, comparing it with the V50 ThinQ 5G at 700$, it's not a perfect deal as the LG.
So, if the V50 5G gets cheaper, it will be the Cheapest 5G Deal!
Have a good day!

FCM and privacy

Hello. I am a developer working on some projects for iOS and Android mobile phone platforms. I have a question about Firebase Cloud Messaging and privacy. When allowing an Android device to be a client for push notifications, I use FCM. Recently that has created a privacy concern with Google such that I need to generate privacy documents on a web site (which I do not control) and generate similar documentation on the app (or at least a link to said document). If I disable FCM from collecting the device Advertising ID, should this relieve me from needing to generate the privacy documentation?

No Notifications

Hello, I have a very annoying issue. I receive notifications very late all of the sudden. I was avoiding to update for a few months due to the change of the minimum Notification Reminder interval in the new android OS from 1minute interval to 3min interval.

Unfortunately I stopped receiving notification on time. Some of the notifications came hours later and it was causing me a lot of problems. I have tried EVERYTHING on the previous OS, then finally I just had to try to update in case that fixed it. It didn't. I tried again EVERYTHING on the new OS and same. Am in despair, please advice what can I do to get notifications on time.

Below I list steps I took so far for both versions of the OS aiming to receive notifications from skype and snapchat:
1. Set applications to be unmonitored for battery and memory
2. Change all notifications settings of both applications to be on (literally all options are on including sound)
3. I enabled developer options and set data to be always on, i purchased unlimited data package
4. Set wifi stability over performance
5. Installed app, "Missed notifications Reminder" to get the notifications pushed to me
6. I have tried to switch all other instances of this applications on other devices and also enabled them again for another phone and a laptop. I do not receive (for skype case) notifications on any of them
7. I disabled do-not-disturb option all together, and set both the apps to send notifications anyone
8. I set both apps to Always-On-top
9. I set Allow-App when data saver is on (even tho its off)

PLEASE. Tell me what to do, I have tried everything I can think off and still I do not receive notifications in time. (maybe after 4-5hours or never)

Storage issue

I am trying to free up some storage on my phone. System keeps saying that storage is full. I have deleted all unnecessary apps and have tried several cleaning apps, nothing works. When I add up the storage of my remaining apps, it comes to approximately twelve gigs. Storage still says twenty three gigs used. It says that apps are using storage. How do I find out what apps are using storage? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Help - Pie bricked my phone

I got the update to Android 9.0 (pie) like a week ago. Haven't had issues.

Last night, my phone was on the charger over night (turbo charger). This morning, it will not turn on.

I plugged it back in, and the camera flash on the back flashed quickly, but that's it. I tried to do a reset of the phone (held down the stupid bixby button, volume down, and power - that is the right step, right?) and nothing.

Trying a different (non-turbo) charger now. But, what can I do? Has anyone seen this?
