Yeah anything available to purchase right now is the global version which doesn't have the full range of US bands. The Asus USA social accounts have said the US version is coming this month, but no specific date has been announced so far.

Though, the part about no CDMA support is true no matter the version which means it would never work on Verizon. However, Verizon is the last carrier left that requires that (and they technically don't even need that support there either, but Verizon is going to Verizon.)

UK network supremacy 4 ever. Must be a pain in the tits to have to check what bands a phone supports.

Verizon doesn't use CDMA anymore in any capacity and hasn't relied on it in years. There are different regional SKUs released for phones all over the place, that's not a US-centric thing at all.

Ah I didn't realize the US version of Zenphone 10 isn't out yet, that explains it. Time to put my case back on my Pixel 5, can't live dangerously just yet.

For the most part you really only have to consider bands in the US if you are on Verizon (or any of their MVNOs like Visible). LTE Band 13 is usually the most problematic as they are the only carrier that uses that band so a lot of smaller phones brands do not bother including it. Asus doesn't include it. Neither does Nothing. OnePlus didn't for the longest time. Verizon also has to whitelist your device to use on their network too or it just won't activate. Same goes for stuff like Wifi Calling. Then there's the fact that Verizon's main 5g network is mmWave so if you what THAT support, it's usually only the big phone manufacturers that include it for cost reasons. That's also why the Verizon versions of stuff like the Pixel 7a cost more. The unlocked version doesn't include MMWave while the Verizon one does. Verizon REQUIRES mmWave for any device that they officially sell. But now there's even more fun stuff to worry about like whether your device supports 5G standalone on your carrier or if your variant supports the optimal band aggregation. None of those are 100% dealbreakers as far as coverage goes though, but they do enhance the experience.

https://9to5google.com/2023/08/10/android-14-beta-5-pixel/ Android 14 Beta 5 pushing out now. I'm assuming that's Google talk for Release Candidate essentially, so I'd say we'll get 14 in 2 weeks barring any major show stoppers.

Hard to say actually. Android 13 had 4 beta versions and Beta 4 was released July 13th and the stable was released August 15th. So, over a month passed before stable came out. Meanwhile, Android 12 also had 5 betas and beta 5 was September 8th with a release on Oct 19th, so that was over a month. My gut is telling me that September 11th will be the date. Sept 4th will be too soon most likely, so they'll skip the normal patch release for the full 14 upgrade the following week.

My memory is as reliable as my Nexus 5x. Android 14 seems to be a much more conservative release, I've read bits and bobs about it and there seem to be few major things of note, unless I'm missing something? I never had a Nexus 5x in my life.

It is and it isn't. Biggest change is 64bit only images for supported CPUs so the dropping of 32 bit app support once and for all. Pixels were already soft doing it starting with the 7. There's just a lot of little UI polish things going on and of course under the hood API changes. I look at it this way. 12 - Major change, kinda buggy 13 - Clearing up a lot of the functional jank introduced by 12 14 - Polishing 13 and clearing up the UI jank they didn't have time to get to in 13

The only real issue I've had with my Pixel 7/Android 13 is sometimes it won't wake up the display/fingerprint reader if my phone's been sitting for a minute. The icon for the scanner will still be on the AOD and I can mash my thumb against it or tap the screen forever and it does nothing until I wake it with the power button. I always assumed it was a quirk of my particular Pixel though or maybe some installed app because my OnePlus 11 shows no similar behavior. Otherwise nothing's really bugged me about Android 13.

There's little things like bringing back the battery percentage on the first swipe down of the notification shade and giving the "Until" time down on the 2nd swipe. Tapping on the time on the 2nd shade pulldown takes you to Alarms while it does nothing on 13. Lock screen shortcut customization. Just a bunch of density and padding tweaks here and there.

Go into night sight mode and hold the phone still enough until the shutter button changes from a moon to some stars. You need to be in the actual night sight mode, in regular camera mode with auto night sight it won't change to astrophotography. You'll probably need to prop the phone up on something or use a tripod to keep it still enough.

Yeah a tripod or leaning it against something stable will help a lot. You also need to be in an area with little light pollution to get good results. Also do it on a new moon.

Blurb3947 posted:Android Thread: Hope I like this poo poo It arrived. I like this poo poo. Yeah the front screen is a bit crap width wise but functional and my small fingers are fine with the tiny keyboard. The inner scree is loving fantastic though. Been playing baldurs gate 3 via steam link. Samsung's multitasking works great especially once you get rid of the navigation bar and notifications bar to use all the space. It probably helps im coming from and s21+ so everything is familiar. I read a lot of ebooks via google play books on my phone and I feel like the weight and balance isn't an issue for one handed reading at night and the aspect is perfect.

I've found it helps to set a 10 sec timer when sitting in a tripod as well. I'm a bit Shakey, and hitting the shutter can knock it out of mode.

Are there different kinds of USBC-aux adapters? Borrowing my dad's truck for long runs to the city to pick up poo poo are brutal with no music. I have one adapter but both my old p6 and my s23 say it's not compatible when I connect it. But a quick search seems to indicate it should be possible.

usb-c audio can be analog or digital, but in practice most phones only support digital output so the dongle/adapter needs to have an embedded DAC. the cable you have is probably a passive analog one. if you get a DAC dongle like the $9 apple one you can plug an aux cable into that and it will work

I have never seen a DACless audio adapter sold separately. You normally only get them as included when you buy a phone with hidden analogue output. And if you plug them into a normal phone you get exactly that message you are describing.

Hey goons, do yall have any recommendations for phone cases with builtin kickstands that also work for portrait mode? I've seen a bunch of cases with kickstands but most only work for landscape. Specifically looking for one for my Pixel 6, since the old cheapo case I bought for it is coming apart.

Picked up a Philips adapter from Princess Auto. It was in a little bag so I was able to tear it a lil bit and plug it in to see if the message appeared, it didn't. Forgot that I had let my phone nearly die so I had to then charge it for a bit before I could plug it in for music. At least I have one now if I ever need it again.

I just updated to the August 5 security update on my pixel 5, and now my screen feels like it's running at about 40-50 hz instead of 90? it still claims to be running at 90 but it feels like dogshit, has this happened to anyone else? it's persisting after a couple of reboots  edit: never mind, it must have just been taking longer than usual to set up the update, it's good now strap on revenge fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Aug 16, 2023 |

When you tap on a username or password input field, what tells Android to offer the password manager button on the keyboard? I figure that the app or website has to first indicate that the field is for credentials, but assuming that's happening what receives that information, please the browser, the keyboard, or the OS?

I hadn't tried since I set that watch several years ago. And trying it now it didn't work, then I rebooted the phone and it works. Crazy. Still going to leave most things as IP, so I don't have to reboot regularly.

Not sure if this goes here or the headphones thread, but I'm using a pair of Galaxy Buds+ with my Pixel 7 Pro and is it normal for BT to have a massive amount of audio lag? I feel it's like a full second behind what I'm seeing on the screen.
