TIL I learned there's an alternative to adjust the ringer volume in android Pie

The pie volume lever makes your phone ring every time you want to adjust it, and it's kinda irritating, so to skip this nuance,  just hold some seconds both the volume up and down key, and adjust volume, and voila you can change ringer volume without waking up your whole neighborhood.

I discovered this feature by playing around with an app that used accessibility shortcuts for activation. i hope it serves someone! ...

Used YouTube Music for a day and it's nothing but a sad mess

I'd been a GPM user for many years now, but lately the app seemed more and more abandoned and out of sync with the rest of Google services. It's blindingly white, there is little to no developer feedback re bugs and/or possible new updates, and with Google actively pushing YTM down everyone's collective throat it seems less and less likely that it is worth it to continue building your music library there. So I thought I'd start looking for a replacement app.

I have to say that it really, really...

I created r/Mi9T (or K20) (Pro) to centralize the posts about this phone from now on

The only reason for creating [r/Mi9T](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mi9T/) is the fact that i recently bought the phone and i really like it, so i would like to create a community in which we can focus on our current/favorite phone. This is only intended to help the actual owners, future owners, or even buy-curious people. The subreddit contains discussions around problems, custom ROMs or even curiosities regarding different aspects of the phone.

Feel free to join and contribute with knowledge!

GSMArena's Note 10 vs Pixel 3 camera comparison nicely highlighted two things I DO NOT like about Pixel's camera

TL;DR - Purple/blue tint, noise and grain.

[GSMArena did a camera comparison between Galaxy Note 10 and Pixel 3](https://www.gsmarena.com/the_samsung_galaxy_note10_in_for_review_plus_camera_samples-news-38739.php). I know Pixel is hailed as the absolute king of mobile photography but I thought their comparison samples highlighted two of Pixel's photo weaknesses (in my opinion of course) quite well - Pixel's tendency to add cooler blue-purplish tint to bright daylight images and the noise (it's ...

[DISCUSSION] Is AMOLED worth it considering screen burn-in?

My phones before were Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy A5 (2014), both of them had a lot of very visible burn-in after 1-2 years of usage.

After those became almost unusable I bought a phone making sure it's not AMOLED and I can't tell what I was missing? I have a Huawei P20 which is just LCD, the PRO version has AMOLED as if it's a feature.

Am I missing out on significantly more battery life or something? Or is that not relevant anymore with today's battery sizes? Being able to leave my phone runnin...

Motorola Brazil appears to be significantly and misleadingly reducing the size of the hole punch in promotional material for the Motorola One Action

Remember when [OnePlus unceremoniously chopped off the bottom bezel from their phone to make it look better in ads](https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/oneplus-6t-disappearing-bezels-3639319)? Well it looks like smartphone companies are not finished with cosmetically altering their phones in these type of instances, and Motorola is the next culprit.

Do you purposely not download software updates so your phone does not slowdown? If so, after how many versions do you stop updating?

Literally all Samsungs I've always had shit the bed and age horrible whenever I updated them beyond the first year. Just downgraded my note 4 on marshmallow to kit kat and it feels lightning quick like the day it released and nearly as fast as my Note 9. I don't feel like phones get faster every year rather it's just old phones get slower every year (from software updates) since every flagship every year feels fluid and quick upon release. I've made a rule for myself that I wouldn't update my...
