I love the poo poo out of the fold 5. It didn't think I would love it so much but having a small tablet is a massive improvement for reading and consuming other content. I took a bunch of flights last week and it was the perfect all in one companion where before I'd have probably at least taken a seperate tablet with me. The phone form factor is a little clunky but in tablet mode it feels slim and nice. I just hope it lasts at least 3 years without the foldy bit loving up.

It's definitely A Thing when it comes to cheap Chinese TV boxes and tablets where the point of differentiation often becomes 'netflix DRM license support level' and if it ships with the play store still but I don't feel like it's been a thing in phones sold in Western countries for a while. Otoh buying a Chinese phone seems like something you'd really only do if you're trying to save a few bucks and still be close to flagship hardware.

I don't know but I feel like Bluetooth has gone to poo poo for me recently too. Super laggy controls, frequently just stops playing on my anker q45s. Used to be totally smooth sailing like 3 months ago.

I can only speak for Samsung so take it as you will - Dual SIM is an excellent experience, especially being able to run seperate instances of messenger apps like WhatsApp/Telegram etc for each SIM. You set a preferred voice/SMS/data SIM of which data only really matters most of the time. The phone and messages apps make it easy to see which SIM you're using and swap what you use per contact/chat etc. I've done this on an S10+ , and S21+ and now a Z Fold 5 for keeping work/personal seperated on a single device.

Fwiw I run my personal as an eSIM and work provides a physical SIM. They no longer have dual physical SIM models I think, or if they do it may need to be a grey import.

AlexDeGruven posted:I'm expecting the Pixel 8 to be eSIM only ala iPhone, so I've been resigning myself to that idea already since I'm considering it if I don't pick up the gig. I'd note that I have no idea if stock Android can do the dual messenger app thing also, it was definitely a Samsung only thing that was a leading reason I bought in to their phones originally. Maybe it's been copied out to Android now I dunno. Just to be clear.

No idea. Haven't used stock Android for a long time.

Maybe try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vn.audioswitch.audiotest.kk Where you select your phone's internal audio in your app/OS and then use this to switch the output to your headphones? No idea if that will work

Lame. Sorry I don't think it's baked into Android so probably not easily possible.

It'll work just don't expect it to work for long, have much battery life or feel good to use in any way. Also that's locked to a provider.

I've got the Samsung slim case on my fold 5 that has the s-pen and it's... Fine. It kind of annoys me that it doesn't lay flat or even lay stable when open on a flat surface. I don't use the s-pen at all so I've actually just ordered a thinner clear case off Amazon so I'll report back with a comparison. Most 3rd party cases seem to be incredible abominations that significantly add to the thickness of the fold when closed. The idea of a kickstand is tempting but I can't find one I like the look of and I already had a cheap little tablet stand that I just leave in my backpack and use on planes when travelling to watch media.

I've never had an issue getting photos back out, even our 18gb wedding album generates a download link in a reasonable amount of time. There's always takeout too if you want everything.

For a very long time I had to app switch away from StS to get it past the Syncing screen at start up. Seems to have been resolved 2 weeks ago but yeah overall that side of it is a buggy mess.

Arken_ca posted:I want to get a phone with dual physical sim card capability, so I can have separate work and personal numbers. So when a business client either calls, texts, emails or sends Whatsapp messages the notification sounds can be set different from the personal number notifications. My experience is yes Samsung still make dual physical SIM phones but you generally only find them via grey import resellers, not big box stores or carriers. This was true up to the S21 for me at least in Australia. It's very hard to work this out and find which models actually have dual SIM but GSM arena was my friend here. I can't speak for the s22/23/24 but it's still popular in Asian markets particularly so I'd assume there are models that have this. You choose a preferred SIM for all data. It will only switch if you move out of coverage for that SIM, it's not per app. Same for calls and SMS but you get to choose which before making/sending a call/message. Generally being on a phone call on your non preferred data SIM will cause data to switch for the duration of the call FYI. Samsung does however let you install a copy of most messaging apps to use with each phone number (like I have a work SIM WhatsApp and a personal SIM WhatsApp) which rules. And so yes you can have different sounds for your SIMs for phone/SMS/IM. I have since switched my personal service to eSIM so my Fold 5 has a physical SIM from my workplace and an eSIM for my personal service and the above behaviour is exactly the same. This is far easier to find and do. Aware fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Samsung has recentlyish added a limiter you can enable that makes it stop at 80 or 85% charge, maybe the pixel has the same? AccuBattery can do the same if not. I don't know if this is super important but it seems to be becoming 'a thing'.
