it's 2017 and android still doesn't have a way to backup and restore a phone.LastInLine posted:Well the phone will redownload all your apps on setup. You can then restore Nova from a backup which can be made from within the app. SMS transferred on my Pixel but that might be Pixel-specific. I'd make a backup using SMS Backup & Restore. Note that the last time I used that app, it wasn't owned by Carbonite, it may be poo poo now, I don't know.

"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.

Nerdrock posted: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.

quote:The Galaxy S8 also likes to automatically stick apps into a letterboxed mode that slaps black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Extra tall aspect ratios are quickly becoming the norm this year, but Samsung apparently didn't feel comfortable letting every app run wild on the 18.5:9 display. The letterbox mode is almost 16:9—it's 16.7333:9. quote:While the on-screen benchmark performance at full resolution is similar to flagship devices from last year, Samsung apparently feels its GPU isn't powerful enough to do 3D games at the full 2960×1440 resolution. It has a resolution-reducing "Game mode" that promises users it will "enhance your gaming experience by making games run more smoothly." quote:The gimmicks. The iris scanner, curved screen, and heart rate sensor all seem designed to give talking points to your local Verizon salesperson, rather than provide a good user experience for customers.

Blind Rasputin posted:The iPhone is super boring to use as a casual user. And my biggest worry is that this year's update will be another silly incremental change without much actual UI change. I mean, it took them something like 4 years just to implement the swipe up/down control panel things and the swipe left info panel thing. Plus, with the AT&T plan letting you switch phones every year.. why not?

syscall girl posted:I hate blindly hating chinese software but somehow that just creeps up on me, must be getting old. There's a firewall program that adblocks by country or app and it recommends full blocking Iran, North Korea ya know the "axis of evil" and so on and so forth and will tell you in no uncertain terms which of your apps are phoning home and to what country and my favorite file manager (which you can get to tell on itself for the lols) is one of these that will not stop communicating with a chinese server. It's probably not too dastardly or nefarious and I let the thing have my dropbox creds because well, it's actually the best at what it does and it's not a critical thing but it still worries me some.

tadashi posted:Christ, Samsung keeps getting worse. After the most recent update, they changed the low power notification to a pop-up that covers 3/4 of the screen and, about 1 out of 4 times, the "dismiss" button is missing for me so the only way to get rid of it is to remove the battery because the pop-up covers the power-off options when you hold the power button down.
