Android Bluetooth volume fix

So after struggling with low Bluetooth volume on my note 9 for months, I finally fixed it.

In short, make sure the disable absolute volume toggle is on in developer options. Also a good idea to switch avrcp to 4.6 while you're there.

After that I reset all wireless settings (Bluetooth, wifi, mobile data). After this repair your device and verify that media volume sync is enabled in Bluetooth settings.

Hopefully this helps somebody out, dealing with low volume issues is infuriating....

In my opinion, stock android is overrated. In fact, I have a few complaints about it.

I don't think that this counts as a rant, rather constructive criticism (?). But I feel that if I can express my opinion about an Android device, it should be r/android – especially considering the brand this post is based on ^(lol). Why not go to r/GooglePixel, you ask? Try saying something negative there: downvotes and blind eyes. Anyway...

My complaints stem mainly from me missing aspects of my old Huawei. Some of these seem nitpicky, sure, but UIs should be as streamlined and as user-frien...

How I moved my Google presence from a GSuite account to a regular account

You’ve probably read posts about how various Google services keep getting changed or deleted for GSuite users. This didn’t sit well with me, considering at least some of its users are paying customers. In theory, we should get *better* treatment from Google, not worse. So over the course of a few hours, I moved the major parts of my entire Google existence going back 12 years from GSuite to a free, regular old Gmail account. I commented on a thread about this and someone asked me how I did it, ...

P2XL -> Note 10+ don't know what to keep!

Nothing wrong with my pixel, but I was able to get the Note 10+ for $680 on Black Friday so I said why not..

Overall I love the Note.. it seems just as fast and smooth as pixel, battery life seems fine and the display is VERY refreshing after living with the sub-par pixel 2 xl display for over 2 years..

But this camera on the Note 10 is... Strange.. some shots look great, little warmer than Pixel but other are just terribly soft and lack so much detail. I don't take much pictures but man I hav...

Fast Android Q delivery to Sony Xperia 1!

Just received Android Q update on my Sony Xperia 1 ([Proof](https://imgur.com/gallery/R49S8A8)). Sony promised to release the update in its [official roadmap](https://blogs.sonymobile.com/2019/11/15/which-sony-products-will-receive-android-10-upgrades/) to Xperia 1 and 5 as early as December 2019, but I personally didn't expect to be that early!

Xperia 5 should follow soon, then Xperia 10, 10 Plus, XZ2, XZ2 Compact, XZ2 Premium and XZ3 are expected to receive the upgrade early 2020 onwards....
