Removed features since the Pie update, and the state of Samsung tech support.

I recently contacted Samsung because I noticed my Note 9 was missing a feature that's always been available. Tech support confirmed Pie rolled back the option to disable the proximity sensor during calls (dimming the screen when put up to your ear). Albeit not a very important feature, I can't understand what made them want to remove options after an update. It seems pretty counter productive to roll back options while trying to move forward.

The email also included at the end, "Plea...

My Galaxy S7 almost burned down my house and Samsung say it's my fault.



Hey guys,

Wanted to share case that had happend to me and see if I can get some advice on what to do.

I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. To make a long story short, one night I was charging my phone and when I woke up I smelled burnt plastic, the cord has become attached to the phone due to melting and when I forcefully detached it's from my phone I noticed the charging port was completely physically fried. The phone was on when I was charging but it had turned off and when I turn...

Show us what you've done with your phone.

Sorry I don't know how to cross-post. I tried and it didn't work.

I am bored of my current look, I'm hoping to gain some inspiration from the community for a new look, and hope the community has some use for some inspiration as well.

So I'm hoping everyone could provide a image of what they're screen looks like today.

I'm sure everyone else here could definitely learn from the new techniques to improve the looks behind the hardware that have come up since last year.

Adguard is Amazing

I've downloaded the adguard app on my Android phone and I'm amazed at how many ads it blocks! It blocks all the ads from loading and removes the frame! I really like how it can restrict apps from communicating when the phone screen is off. I was surprised to see how much traffic goes to Facebook and other tracking networks.

Useful features:

1. Ad blocking within apps.
Instead of paying for an ad-free version of an app just use adguard.

2. Ad blocking within the browser
It works similarly to ...

Xioami Mi Mix 3 - No Smart Unlock

Purchased the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.


Appears Google Smart Lock does not seem to work with this device. Only Xiaomi devices can be added as trusted devices.

​

Furthermore, despite all settings being toggled to allow it, I can't seem to get google maps directions to show on the lock screen.

​

The worst part is when I messaged Xiaomi support about this, they told me to contact the store I purchased it from.

Thank you for Contacting Xiaomi customer Support. I am Neha and...

Do you have any emotional connection and loyalty to a particular brand? Or a smartphone is only a tool, commodity for you?

When getting a new phone, what is important for you? Do you only look at the specsheet? Or the best price/value ratio? Or do you buy 'inferior' - according to reviewers, pricepoint, specs - phones from I don't know, Sony, LG or HTC, because you just like the brand and what stands behind it (history, image, philosophy etc)?...
