Moto RAZR seems to be compatible with Google Fi

Hi, everyone,
I just received my Moto RAZR production model today. I managed to get my Google Fi account into the esim and everything seems working (LTE, wifi calling, SMS, etc), except that a "sim card is not verizon" notification will stay and never go away (just like other verizon-only moto devices, i.e. Z3).
You only need to skip the activation step when you power up the first time then download Google Fi app, then proceed to activate from there using your google account.
Maybe you guys alre...

Trick to Enable Google App / Assistant Dark Mode on Android 10, Non-Pixel

Google and Android customer support have been telling many (including me) that Google App / Discover dark mode isn't ready yet, or will come 'soon', and they've been saying this for a long time now. The reality is that they seem to be keeping it as a Pixel exclusive for the time being. Not sure why they won't be up front about this, but regardless, I did find a way to enable it.

Let me preface by saying you need Android 10 for this trick to work. Also, no guarantees it will work for your device...

Anyone else randomly lose their Gmail Dark Theme today?

I have lost my dark theme for Gmail, without changing any settings. It appears the toggle has been removed from the 'General settings' tab aswell.

PSA : 'Your Phone App' on windows now support call from PC feature for all phones. Not limited to Samsung anymore.

Lately they only supported in Samsung phones, now it seems they updated the Phone app so that everyone can use this. Call feature work via bluetooth, so you have to turn on bluetooth on the PC and pair it with your phone.


If it is not there, then turn on Calls from the setting of the Your Phone App.

Compact phones

What do you guys think of small phones?
I bought a redmi 8a a month ago but i couldn't get used to it, so i switched to the moto g7 play (i don't have a heavy use so i prefer budget phones).

What's going to break the depressing monotony of incremental updates and massive price hikes?

It's like the Nokia N-series over again and we're waiting for a new iphone. What possible technologies could bring this about? Why not even take a step back with a broader phone with bigger battery, traditional uninterrupted display, bone-stock android skin, microSD storage and replaceable battery, that would actually be good unironically. Rubber back like the V10 too....

My first ever mobile game: “Disc Brick”. No ads, no consumables—a simple, but fun, completely free-to-play game

["Disc Brick" on the Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RogerPollard.BricksTest)

I posted this on the r/Apple subreddit a couple weekends ago, and I've got some requests to make mention of it here as well, since it's on the Google Play Store as well as the iOS App Store.

This is the first app I've made and is a simple disc-breaking app. I really enjoy these types of games, but all of the versions of it I've played are plagued with some typical problems: (1) in...

TIL Google Trips is not dead, it is still included in Google services and can be saved in your app drawer or on your home screen

I just set up a flight for an upcoming interview and immediately got a notification that Google [created a new input](https://i.imgur.com/G0eqlob.jpg) in my "Google Trips" app. I was under the impression that trips was gone with the removal of the...trips app, as well as inbox.

I knew there was some way to still access this info but hadn't yet found it. So this was nice. I also discovered that, as with all webpages, this page can be [saved to your app drawer](https://i.imgur.com/z7VkAnm.jpg) or...
