If you have a shiny new phone with Ice Cream Sandwich or above, screenshots are built right into your phone! Just press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time, hold them for a second, and your phone will take a screenshot. It'll show up in your Gallery app for you to share with whomever you wish!

does this also change your volume level or is it made by someone sensible

So android 7.1.1 doesn't work on dual stack IPv6/IPv4 networks and only gets an IPv6 address. meaning that only half the internet works.

The official work around is to turn off IPv6 for the entire network.

re: my brother needs a phone and for some reason has terminal autism. The solution is he's using a phone that by all other accounts are broken (charging cable won't stay in), the solution being having the phone stand on the cable and rest against a wall when charging.

needless to say i've given up

  • The notification thing is actually super annoying. On my Motorola and Oneplus (both stock Android), I can see the contents of a Whatsapp message without opening the app. This way, the sender of the message does not get the blue (read) ticks. I know it sounds like I’m being nitpicky, but sometimes you really want to avoid someone, or just reply to them later. Especially when it comes to clingy romantic partners, where it’s a lot easier to just let them think you didn’t read the message because you were busy, rather them let them know you read their message, but chose not to reply at the time. MIUI really hosed me over with this.
    Do NOT underestimate how significant that notification thing is when it comes to day to day life.


this one sounds like its not the phone being terrible but the user

my younger brother (not the android loving sperg) has a tendency to ruin his electronics by being non-careful. As such his laptop and phone needs to be cheap crap and his laptop has emmc storage. It is really bad, but cheap to replace when it gets rekted.

what i'm getting at is: emmc is bad
