it's 2017 and android still doesn't have a way to backup and restore a phone.

only if you view androids across vendors as the same phone as nearly every oem supports moving from one of their older phones to one of their newer ones (except motorola which that person has)

i think the only one that even attempts to make it work from any phone (ios included) is the pixel. i wouldnt be surprised if the motorola that user has actaully does bring almost everything over as moto uses the stock google tools mostly but i didnt want to tell them it would and then it not work

really in short it all just works unless the oem went out of their way to break it like samsung and lg do

My rotation of daily drivers



All of them are activated on freedompop's freemium plan, link to the same google voice account. Each phone gets 1-1.3GB of free data per month. That last me for about 5-7 days. 3 phone should be enough for the whole month but I throw in a cheap ZTE just in case. The tiny Samsung Rush is activated on Ting's 100m voice only plan since Ting is giving out free $35 credit to ring+ users. I added it because I was worry I couldn't receive call on Freedompop's VOIP signal. So far I have found I have no problem receiving calls on FP, the voice quality is not bad either. I *think* FP fall back on regular CDMA signal when data connection is bad I am not sure. Nobody uses voice in 2017 anyway.

The only other annoyance is If I call back from a FP phone, I can't not make it route through the Google voice dialer and display my GV number. The work around is go to voice.google.com on your brower and make call that way, google will call you first and then patch the call to the caller. Add the browser address shortcut on desktop and it works fine.

"it's annoying to do something that takes 2 seconds ugh"

Incessant Excess posted:

Is it possible to have one phone automatically tether to another when it's close enough? I'm using a smartphone mount in my car but it's annoying to always have to take my phone out of my pocket and put it in the mount when I get in my car. I'm wondering if it would be possible to get a second phone, always keep that in the car mount and have it tether to my main phone automatically when I get in my car, so that it would have a data connection for spotify streaming.

Is what I'm thinking about easily feasible or should I just suck it up and keep using one phone for this?

One of the main reasons I would want it rooted is that I can't touch my phone while in work as I got a slapped wrist a while back but if I could remote onto it, that would save me the trouble.

Can I remote onto the phone without rooting?

You are unbelievably stupid. Learn to use the technology you have instead of blaming it for your complete lack of aptitude for anything technological and by extension being an independent human being in the year 2017. I'm not defending Android, but go back to your assisted living facility and stop loving posting inane garbage.

after a few days with the Zenwatch 3, and being very unimpressed with it software-wise, I've decided to throw the one custom rom on there that XDA has, since the latest rumor leaks are that we shouldn't expect AW2.0 until "early 2nd quarter". Well : so far the watch is much smoother. before, it was janky as hell.. super choppy, and a lot of delays when doing simple things. After getting said rom installed, it now performs much better... about as good as my urbane. I was truly spoiled by how silky smooth the otherwise terrible LG Style was.
