Reception being poo poo is a big killer of battery for me, both on my old phone and my new 5x. I've got into the habit of putting my phone in aeroplane mode whenever i get into work, and the manually enable the wifi so somebody can reach me via email / hangouts.

It's not that I don't want the kids using other applications, just they're young enough and not coordinated enough to avoid hitting buttons. They'll accidentally go to the home screen or something and can't yet sort out how to get back. It's getting better but would be nice to be able to lock it to just one application unless some magic key press is made. Look up screen pinning. Think its only available on lollipop and above though.

So, my 2 year old nexus 5x has finally bit the bullet and has the dreaded boot loop issue. I'm in the UK with a budget of around £250 for a SIM unlocked phone. I've read through the last few pages of thread, and people have mentioned that Moto are dropping the ball a bit with updates, so maybe the Moto g5s plus isn't a good choice now? Reviews of the Nokia 6 don't seem that great, so I've been looking at the Honor 7x. Anybody had any experience with the 7x?

I pulled the trigger on the new p smart when my 5x died. Took a little getting used to to find where things were, but on the whole the Huawei OS seems fine.

explosivo posted:So I'm pretty sure the GPS on my S7E is completely hosed, it's failed on me a couple times when I needed it and it will show me in some random city ~30 minutes from where I actually was, then I'll get a signal lost error in maps, and cycle in and out, but lately it seems like it just doesn't work at all. I did all the normal stuff like checked the location settings, it's in high accuracy mode, and tried clearing cache for the hell of it but nothing doing. Are my only options at this point trying a factory reset and seeing if that gets it working? I was hoping to squeeze out a bit more with this phone before having to pony up for an upgrade but I literally got lost the other night because I missed an exit and wasn't able to use the GPS to get back on track. Didn't see anyone else with any suggestions so have you tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 You can reset the GPS cache from there and other stuff

I too have been getting these ;/ I've now set calendar not to sync with gmail (Events from gmail I think its called) and I think that may have solved it.

Although I've never tried it to a Samsung phone, can you get an adb connection? I'm sure you can uninstall stuff via adb. A quick google has some threads on xda that might help?

Has anyone here used a phone with the Snapdragon 730 in it? I'm looking to get a mi9t here in the UK, and all the reviews are positive about it, but wondered if there were any Goon opinions?

If you want to try removing the crap without resorting to a custom ROM, you could try: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/how-to-rid-mi-bloatware-pre-installed-t3975121 Take a look at the adb commands. Disclaimer - I've not done that myself or own said phone.
