if you have a dual sim phone, can you use wifi calling for one sim over cellular data from the other?

dual sim phones seem skeezy to me for some reason. why's anybody need two SIM cards? seems suspicious.

not sure if serious but usually it's to provide cellular connectivity in areas that lack overlap or to have data on one and cell plan on the other in some countries

Oh God the notification shade is so ugly and they moved the clock to the other side of the bar to accommodate a notch my phone does not have. loving christ Google.

knowing :google: i'm genuinely surprised they didn't just simulate a notch by blacking out that part of the screen


(instead they blacked out the entire screen :haw: )

Ok While that ASUS ROG phone is a bit overkill gamer goofiness, but drat does it look like ASUS is going full tilt in support of the performance and accessories for docking and doing all sorts of stuff with that phone. Might have to take a look at it next year or whenever it actually launches.

not what I mean. anderd SwiftKey has stuff like asterisk and underscore as long press options that you can see above the letters on the screen. way better than having to go to a separate screen for it

SwiftKey autocorrect is still way better tho so I'm not using the stock keyboard.worst part of iOS hands down

ios swype is the one that allows you to choose different characters when you longpress on a letter. no reason to use swiftkey, or even ios swiftkey

it would be my 5th rma for pixel so I said gently caress it and didn't bother calling. just gonna buy a personal iPhone and live on my carry device for the time being. I'm done with androids

also their "pixel owners community" which is their official support method is full of reports of this with the only response being troubleshooting methods nobody can do because their phones won't turn on.

We’re living in a new kind of computing environment. Everyone has a device, sometimes multiple devices. It’s been a long time since we have had this rate of change—it probably hasn’t happened since the birth of personal computing 40 years ago. To make the most of these opportunities, we need to focus—otherwise we spread ourselves too thin and lack impact. So today we’ve announced some more closures, bringing the total to 70 devices bricked since our spring cleaning began in 2018.

These changes are never easy. But by focusing our efforts, we can concentrate on building great products that really help in their lives.

it used to be there apparently but got discontinued and removed recently.

I booted up my old nexus yesterday to get a file off it and noticed that gboard had auto updated to remove the comma off the main keyboard in favor of having more space between keys on the bottom row

god drat it America, just how fat are your fingers getting?

iOS keyboard is fine but the autocorrect just gets worse and worse over time and it is hilarious.

for example, my phone refuses to allow me to type the word “MARIO” not in all-caps without manual intervention
