I get laughed at for rooting still but the hidden SystemUI feature of adjusting the brightness by sliding your finger left or right over the status bar is a godsend i used that too but these days i only change the screen brightness maybe 4 or 5 times a day so it's not really a huge deal

redgubbinz posted:Strange, I have a new Nokia 6.1 as well and haven't come across any of those issues. I'm glad yours is good. I wanna like it. It's a tad bigger than I wanted and not astronomically faster than my Nexus 5x, but it seems like a solid phone for a good price. I got a couple of weeks, so I'll think about return vs exchange vs getting something different. I'm happy with Amazon returns, so would prefer to go through them then trying to get warranty service from Nokia.

A family member is having issues with her 6.1 too. The two most common issues are that the camera seems to take forever to load, and a few issues with audio in a call. I'm not sure if that's the other end couldn't hear her or she couldn't hear the other end, but she was going to factory reset and hope they got fixed.

I like this tool for file recovery. It will not work if your SD card is biting it, or if the photos were overwritten. It may work if it's just a matter of your filesystem being messed up. https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Sometimes with those they may say they are e.g. 64GB but are actually for instance 4GB. They are rigged to report larger sizes, but as you write new files to them they just replace older files.

I run all SD cards through H2TestW, which will write and read the full capacity. I've caught several "SanDisk" cards that came in official-looking packaging from Amazon. Amazon always just replaces them, but it saves a lot of hassle.

Well if you're backed up then just redownload them from Google Photos but if you didn't have that or Dropbox's auto backup turned on, you're likely hosed. It sounds an awful lot like what Red Warrior describes. They'd still show up because the index is written in the early blocks but eventually everything gets overwritten.

I've seen behavior like that when the contacts of the sd card were dirty. Not to give you any hope, but cleaning them costs nothing to try.

Nope, Pixel 1 is still a good phone. And yes, get rid of your 5x ASAP. They are ticking time bombs.

Is there any possible way to disable the bitch that says "when it's safe blah blah blah"? I've tried a bunch of different headphones and they all keep triggering her somehow. I'm never going to use Google assistant I just want to never hear that phrase ever again.

I'm hoping things will be "optimized" or something. I have 8.0.0 so I'm sure they'll do some tweaks. Buuuut they really just want me to buy a new more powerful phone to handle their new poo poo.

It's this message "when it's safe you'll first need to use your phone's screen and tap the notification then you can let the Google App access some things on your device." It seems like it happens when the headphone cord brushes against the inside of a pocket or whatever. Multiple different headphones all do the same thing.

Have y'all with an S7 tried a factory reset following the Oreo update? I've found that sorts out most problems after a major Android version upgrade.

It happens with every headphone or the aux line in for the car. It's an LG G6, but it used to happen with my old Samsung Galaxy too.

I got back from a two-week vacation today and for some reason my JVC head unit won't pick up Android Auto from my Pixel. The phone, however, thinks it's doing Auto stuff. Aside from rebooting the phone, what other things should I try (preferably in increasing order of destructiveness)? Clear cache and/or data? Reinstall Android Auto? Factory reset phone?

Think I'm going to jump in that pixel one, any reason not to? It's for my mom who is currently using a dying , 4 year old Moto Droid of some flavor (Max?). I'm thinking that's probably going to be the best supported, best working device for the price?

I'm thinking that's probably going to be the best supported, best working device for the price? If I'm not mistaken the Pixel 1 still has a little over one full year of security updates to go. Even then though, I'd say you'd be fine, it's probably not the best attitude to take but it seems to me the risk and the security we feel from the monthly updates is a little overblown. It's not like we were falling prey to major exploits left and right before monthly updates became a thing. I think the biggest risk for a typical phone user are browser exploits and you'll still receive updates for them. The real worry is when major exploits come to light and I'd be willing to bet that if a major vulnerability was discovered in 2020 Google would release an update for the P1. Samsung did it for a bunch of EoL phones when Blueborne was revealed and I can't see Google not doing it with their flagship line. Worst case scenario you have to buy a new phone in two years time, I'd say that's worth a 55% discount.

Hooray, a simple reboot fixed it. Second problem solved by the rebooting that I've had with my Pixel in the last week or sow. The first was it stopped charging, which was concerning. The only thing that would give me pause about buying a new original Pixel now is that the new gifv container that Webview introduced recently often hangs my phone for a few seconds, at least in the Awful app. Otherwise this thing still performs great.
