There was speculation at the time this was a P4 prototype. EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSaPsKHPqs Or maybe the camera is in the middle and the sensors are in the top left? Who knows. Hopefully in-display readers get much better because I love the speed and ease of the back reader. FunOne fucked around with this message at 16:43 on May 15, 2019 |

Moved over from iPhone to Galaxy s10 and really like it. I need to master reset it though for a few reasons but have no clue how to fully back it up to a computer so I can restore it afterwards. Everything I find basically says to download some random 3rd party program, or make sure Google & Samsung backups are turned on. Is there a good way to perform a full back up (media, apps, settings, etc) to a computer and then restore it after the master reset?

I think if your 2FA codes are stored in the cloud behind a different 2FA mechanism, that's likely a good blend between security and convenience. Should you put your companies root accounts 2FA codes there? No, but for most other things... If it drives the adoption of 2FA I'm all for it.

Alfalfa posted:Moved over from iPhone to Galaxy s10 and really like it. To further elaborate, no, definitely not like iPhone. But you should be backing up contacts, calendar, etc via Google (just have all that stuff turned on to sync in your Google accounts page), and then make sure to choose whatever option is like "restore from previous phone" when setting it back up, so that apps will automatically download and some keep their settings, your Google accounts will be put back on, that kinda thing. Things that you should use a 3rd party backup for because they won't be restored: texts, stuff you've downloaded to your phone as a file, and maybe that's it?

But why In Display fingerprint readers? Why copy the Hole Punch? Why Curved Edges (probably), Why the impossible to understand limit on Memory/Storage on a $1000+ Device? It just seems like the Pixel's started out trying to be a pretty good Flagship plan with the Pixel 1/2's, then they sort of lost their way and by the date they are announced, they are already 6 months to a year behind in design and specs. Sure they are usually polished to offset that, and the cameras are undoubtedly still some of the best, but the way they seem to follow the trend, rather then try and set something themselves is really puzzling considering the way they did it with the Nexus line. Here is a good Reference Android device. Now the Reference would be great if it was in reverse timing but it's not now. What is interesting, is the 3a's sort of do that with the mid range price/performance phones at least for the US. Wonder how long that will hold true I guess. Overall my 2XL as long as it doesn't have some catastrophic battery failure, will probably remain my device go to until the Pixel 5's at this point if the leak is true. Guess we will see. At least unlike the Nexus 6P with the 810 SOC, the 835 hasn't felt slow in anything yet and unless Google pulls an iPhone with Q, I don't really see that changing yet at least. Unless the 4G ram limit comes into play when they finally raise it which I doubt considering the 3a's Just came out and have 3 years of support.

There's a plugin available for Keepass on the desktop called KeeOTP that I use. It stores the raw 'seed' that you'd usually scan as a QR code, and it then generates OTP codes: ...so again, all you need to remember is your Keepass master password, and to keep the .kdbx file backed-up somewhere safe. It also means that if you get a new phone, you can just input the OTP seed from the Keepass entry without loving around with cloud backups or whatever.

Am I just crazy or does having an expandable storage slot in your phone make you feel like you need to have a card in there? I was fine with no expandable storage on my 64GB iPhones, but I feel like I should put a card in my 128GB S10e, even though I'll never even use up the base storage.

Taffer posted:Please no goddamn hole punch, just leave a small bezel ffs. This chasing of zero bezels despite all comprises is absurd and lovely. Pick your poison: bezel, notch, hole-punch, pop-up, none. -Bezel is nice because you still need space for front firing speakers unless you're fully on the BT train. -Notch, especially center notches, are pretty ugly. But like the P3XL, you do still get a FF Speaker. -Hole-Punch is probably the best right now because the rest of the real-estate parallel to the punch is used for a notification/status bar. -Pop-Up is the most compromising since you'll lose water-proofing and have a higher-risk of damaging your camera. -None just wont work for mass market because selfies are a thing. I imagine in-screen will be the future option, followed by an external camera/mic stick once AR headsets become the norm.

And that's why I said "Usually Polished" but everyone else for the most part, caught up, and Pixel in some way seems to be regressing with the issues the 3's have been having with some users. So they lost that sort of lead as well. It seams that Notch and Hole Punch is a temporary thing at least. The popup sounds daunting but I believe they can still make it waterproof, make it reliable and as long as they can stop doing this curved edge crap, make a full faced screen look and work great if they would stop trying to chase or copy any other fad that nobody wants. Or do the other thing and pull a Razer Phone. Big front facing speakers, add a really good screen, and make it a flat slab of glass and I'm happy. The rest is what is on the inside that matters more.

Expandable storage on Android only half works and will leave you screwed it different ways (depending on set up) with your card craps out. It's worth it ignoring the card if you don't need it.

Do you use autofill with your password manager yay/nay? I figure I don't really need to since most sites stay logged in and it's not that much of a pain to copy/paste. Also it's a way of avoiding a possible autofill sploit. Also, are there some passwords you shouldn't store on there? Trying to think things through here. If my Gmail is compromised, most of my other stuff is too due to password reset. So I might as well leave my Gmail password out of the manager, and store my complex manager password somewhere on my Gmail account. Have 2FA obvs.

Ola posted:Do you use autofill with your password manager yay/nay? Not using autofill is a best practice, for sure. I keep my main email password outside of my complex manager. If for some reason I get locked out of my 2FA for everything else, or locked out of my password manager for everything else, I can still get into Gmail with it's 2FA to reset as many of my accounts as I can. It leaves me with only having to remember 2 passwords. My password manager master password and my main Gmail account password. I feel like that's reasonable and putting my main Gmail account password in the password manager adds a good deal of risk without much benefit.

I leave LastPass logged out on my phone because I don't log into sites on it too often, so I don't mind typing in my password occasionally. I have it set up to ask for my password after a set amount of time on my home PC, but not ask for 2FA. My laptop, it asks for 2FA. I feel it's more likely to lose my laptop so I want the additional layer of security (though I doubt anyone will want to be hacking my Windows login versus just flipping the device for money). I'll let LastPass auto fill on my phone, usually using the built in browser inside LastPass, but that fails like 40% of the time, so copying passwords is common.

Are you using Keepass2Android? When that happens, select the bottom-left option to search for the entry yourself. When you select it, it will ask if you want to associate the app with that entry. Say yes and you won't have to deal with that again. For needing to keep entering your master password, you can try turn off battery optimization features for the app. That might help your phone keep it in memory longer. What is happening is the program gets kicked out of memory so you gotta unlock your database again.

Tetrabor posted:Pick your poison: bezel, notch, hole-punch, pop-up, none. A bezel isn't poison. As long as it's not some giant monstrosity like the pixel 1/2 it's far superior to all the other options which very prominently interfere with the screen space. I'll take a smaller screen over screen intrusions any day of the week. I don't get why everyone suddenly considers a small bezel a compromise, it allows space for FF speakers, camera(s), and any other required sensors, all of which are more important than a few sq mm of screen space. Like once we can easily jam speakers and cameras behind the screen, sure I'll take a no bezel phone. But until then, gimme bezels, thanks. I blame the awful phone reviewers who laud absolute poo poo product design which offers nothing of value except increased costs. "It feels premium", also it's heavier, more expensive, and more fragile than a glass vase. Cool.

I leave autofill on, but I have Bitwarden set to lock immediately and unlock with fingerprint. That's ideally how I wanted Lastpass to work and I've found Bitwarden more reliable and in general much faster. One more perk I forgot to mention, it's easy to export out of Lastpass into Bitwarden.

Kind of tempted by the 3a especially with the free netbook it comes with in the uk but theres so many so much cooler phones coming out in the near future it seems more sensible to wait for the next pixel or whatever huawei/xiaomi do next. Cant think what it will do so much better than a battered ebay honor 7 to justify dropping several hundred quid on it really.

If they are going to charge the same amount of money for the Pixel 4 as the flagship Samsung, put 8GB RAM in there (and use it). 3. The Pixel 3 UI stutters like a midrange Android from 2010 at times.

I don't mind notches, they're sub-optimal, but I get it. Put the clock and wifi and some notification icons on the sides. It's usually empty space anyway. But hole punches? What use are you getting out of that sliver of display on the outside edge? Shove it into a corner notch and it'd be way more acceptable to me.

Despite me not preferring curved sides and the fact that I keep going back and forth on whether or not I like big phones. I'm gonna do it, I'm going all in on the 7 pro when it goes on sale tomorrow. I mean gently caress it, why not? I'm still going to keep the P3 around for now, probably swapping to it for occasions where I want a smaller footprint. And yes, I still have a 6T too. I have a problem. (Though, to be fair, the 6T is costing me nothing at all since work pays for my cell phone bill.). I just can't sell it off until the payment plan ends on it, but like I said, I'm not the one paying for it. I just don't want a hole punch phone, so I'm content to sit this round out as far as the pixels go in the hopes that they have a better solution on later iterations.
