the phone app on my pixel crashed when i got a phone call

lol i remember my og droid would sometimes ring for a call and there was no way to answer it or to silence it because the phone app would freeze and it would just keep ringing forever until you took the battery out.

you could ignore any call you wanted because you could credibly say that you never heard the ring or you couldnt answer the phone

that forum sucks the mods a psycho

anyway that person also posted this right beforehand

I promise I'm not a crazy person and the words I'm about to spew forth are real and earnest because this is how you do something that's a simple menu selection on most other phones but is inexplicably THIS from a manufacturer that at one point allowed you to change things like CPU throttling limits in the settings menu.

First, you download GoodLock from the Samsung store. Like its name clearly indicates, this is for customizing your phone.

Then, once you have that, open it up. Then, from the two bottom tab choices of "Unit" and "Family" select "Family" (because, you know, theming is a family affair and not a...unit?)

From there, you can install Theme Park from the Samsung store.

This will allow you to create your own theme instead of needing to download them and you can focus on just the accent color. Though, there is a limitation that the theming is a color scheme derived from a wallpaper. But hey, you can change it in this clearly simple built in process.

lol yes andoird sure is superior

today I tried to use android auto because my built in sat nav cannot find addresses for poo poo and it started disconnecting every minute which was extremely annoying when it was half way through directions and the solution was..... I have no idea. I changed some settings at random and it stopped doing it? but idk why because the error didn't tell me the problem in the first place

other than that, it's fine.

don't send dick pics to people claiming to be porn stars on your telephone

zaepg posted:

I'd like to get perspective and assure whatever is on my Android is not actively continuing to send data to this person.

I ended up looking at some porn. And was sexting this "chick". She sent nudes, then I sent nudes. Then she embeded an image as a downloadable file.

This let this person access a lot of information on my phone. Contacts, Facebook.

He then wanted me to send him money or he'd send my dick pics to my contacts. I said gently caress that. So Im assuming he probably will.

So I'm curious what got installed on my phone. Is there any measure I should take to make sure what ever I downloaded is removed and isn't keylogging or actively sending data?

zaepg posted:

He was able to find where I worked, full name, along with screen shotting contacts from my Facebook friends list.

I've factory reset my phone.

zaepg posted:

It looks like they got my contacts and texted my dad. Just had to call a few other people to tell them to just delete any messages they get, along with a Facebook status post to notify not to open any weird messages. gently caress me.

I'm looking to spend under 300. What would be my options? My provider is Boost.

i bought a just released tv box last year and somehow it hasn’t received security updates since 2018. to make it funnier the manufacturer actually releases updates but the ancient webview and security patch level doesn’t change.

what is it like four he switches between? and also three or four different types of tablets and a few different laptops iirc oh yeah and like five different watches and four or five different streaming sticks and services

also he replaces them all one by one with new ones as new models come out

then theres always some arcane combination of features that keeps everything from being JUST PERFECT but can u believe this random tablet cant stream dolby atmos and display the native framerate on vimeo?????

after all id say majority of phone users in general and iphone users in particular just want something that they dont have to think about and while there are some androids that are trouble free and just work you still have to concern yourself with the next phone which you cant always say the same about. with an iphone user the answer is always "buy another iphone" which really cuts down on the number of posts per day you can make about it

you'd be surprised, actually. there was one dude who was insisting for months that his iphone 12 pro was dropping frames and if the *next* update it didn't fix it he was definitely getting a samsung because have you gone to best buy and seen the screen? repeat for every ios 14 point release until 14.5 finally fixed whatever he was seeing.

he also then pointed at his geekbench score being lower

that doesnt surprise me because really we all know those people

like it isnt too unbelievable that some turbo nerd gets burned on android and then goes ios simply to have something to complain about plus dont iphones still have 60hz displays? ngl 60hz is p. lovely for 2021

ofc anyone who knows what their refresh rate on their phone is is prob. android material
