Xperia 1 IV Impressions from Canada

Hi,

I used this subreddit a lot to research Xperia phones before making the purchase so I thought I'd leave some impressions for future owners.

I purchased the Xperia 1 IV CT72 model which is for the Asian market.

I live in Toronto, Canada and am on the Fido network. So far everything is working including VOLTE and voicemail. Quality is very good all around. It should be noted that my previous phone was also an international version phone and VOLTE did not work initially. It just suddenly sta...

How to bypass MSCHAPv2 authentication on stock Android 11+

Hi, most of you don't have to deal with this, but some of you might find this useful.

This method requires root.

Keep in mind this is for stock Android 11 and up. Most Android skins (OneUI, MIUI, etc.) can bypass it with no problem.

Anyways, let's get into the tutorial.

1. Turn off your wifi.
2. Download and install Termux from here (taken from this webiste). After installed, open Termux.
3. Typ...

Fitbit Premium makes sense. You guys just need to read a little.

Disclaimer: I don't own a pixel watch. What I do own is a Fitbit Charge 5, and I live with someone with an Apple Watch SE 2.

The past few weeks y'all have had your pitchforks out claiming that it's diabolical that Google charges a subnoscription for you to use hardware you paid money for. I've seen some even suggest that if Google intends to charge for Premium, the watch itself should be free. Apparently it's anti-consumer to lock away features that Apple and Samsung allegedly give you for free....

Thoughts on a new system of updates on Android

What do you think of this?
Taking Windows 10 as a case study.
Android IMO has reached a point of maturity where it's getting harder to find substantial differences between whole versions. (Android 12 and 13 for one).
What if they stuck to a version like windows did with 10 for years and gradually improved it and introduced new features, further refinements until they are ready for another overhaul.
That might also mean longer official support.
I don't know if this is technically possible but ...

Does anyone else think phones with squeezable sides were great?

Did anyone else have a phone like the Pixel 3 where you could squeeze the sides of the phone to activate the assistant?

I really liked using it to trigger the assistant as I pulled the phone out of my pocket. Just seems like a great feature that was taken away before it could gain traction....
