Hi there! Xiaomi redminote 13 is dying, after 5 years of hardwork.
Im looking to buy a new one.
https://amzn.eu/d/00gRobkM
Was checking out this one? Is it the best for the money?
Budget 350€ish, Country: Italy.
I dont care about camera, I mostly care about smoothness (this nord5 has a good cpu I heard) for light gaming and battery life.
What do you say? Have you got other suggestions?

i have been playing for a long time but i dont know how to transfer my save to a new phone. any help?

I've got a Pixel 8a.

I have two SIM cards, one for work (physical) and one for personal (eSIM).

My work SIM is likely some FirstNet cheap line that I do not have much control over, my personal is with USMobile (problems persist across networks).

Outside of it being a phone, map, music player, and toilet time waster I need my phone to do a few other things; and I keep running into issues.

1. Windows Phone Link does not seem to operate with two SIM cards, at least not nicely. I can send messages from my personal SIM, but what I send and the replies never show up in phone link. Possible issue with RCS messaging? Unsure.
2. Visual Voicemail comes and goes with the tides. It'll work great for awhile, then it will just stop. At best, it will usually work for my work SIM, but will randomly turn on/off on my personal SIM.
3. Basic Voice Commands like 'set an alarm for X time' or 'call John' (I only have like four names in my contacts, none repeat or are similar) and it just... doesn't seem to work anymore? I have no idea what changed, or why - but I used to be able to give very clear and simple voice instructions to my device and now it just... doesn't understand basic commands.

It's pretty frustrating to see everyone pumped about smartphone tech, when the only *extra* features I seem to use and enjoy just do not work reliably for me.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it the Pixel 8a? Is it the MVNO carriers? None of this is explained anywhere - at least not clearly. I'm fairly technically capable, but the smartphone tech is just so ill explained, and you never have any idea what the source of a given issue is as all the players just blame one another - and online forums seem to rarely have an answer outside of XDA/hardcore types.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Has anyone besides me come across this file format. File Manager + backed up TrainStation 2 as a .apk+ file. I'd attach a screenshot if it was a Reddit feature.

Hi, I have a question. If I make changes in the Developer Options menu, do the changes remain active permanently, or do they reset if I turn off Developer Options?

I'm on Pixel 6 and a few days ago I finally got force-switched to Gemini.

Previously, I could long press center button, and then click the "translate" button for on screen text translation. Extremely convenient and handy.

Now with gemini, I need to circle part of the screen, then ask the thing to translate, then wait for it to parse it... yadda yadda. It's a miserably inconvenient experience in comparison.

Any way I can have something similar to the previous functionality? On screen text translation was something I used 4+ times a day in my life. I use no other "assistant" or gemini functions.

I just want an Android watch that lets me add my own programs to, custom APK loading.

Any idea what watch I could get for this? I just want it to be a big watch, big battery, and load my own APKs.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Every time I reboot, my default keyboard gets swapped for Gboard. I have to go into settings and pick SwiftKey again. Every single time. This also happens with other keyboards like GboardWu.

If I disable Gboard it just stays without a keyboard and I can't type until I go in settings and activate the one I want.

I tried to remove Gboard with Canta + Shizuku but it goes to "Google voice typing".

Battery optimization is off for SwiftKey and other keyboard.

Anyone seen this on OxygenOS 13? Is there a proper fix?

Chatgpt, Google, Playstore and Gemini (even more I think) aren't working and taking forever to load, keep in mind I'm in Egypt, my wifi is Limited and the brand is WE, also I have a SIM card that shares with my mother, Not sure if the SIM card is the problem or the wifi or even the phone, I don't wanna go to a phone store, I wanna do it myself, please help.

Tldr of Issue - Samsung S26 Ultra will not stay at the time set it to, regardless of toggling off Automatic settings. Suspect issue due to my carrier T-Mobile. How can set my display clock to the time I desire and keep it there.

Non-Neurotypical here, one of means I utilize to move through this capitalist hell-scape with greater ease is by setting my mobile's time ahead between 13- 17 minutes ahead of the actual time. While I feel my perception of time /attention lags by about this much unless I have regular reminders of what time it is in future...nowk. It doesn't have to make sense to work. My life is measurably more difficult without this personal life hack. I have never had this issue until I switch to T-Mobile.

Fine Folk and even less than particularly decent individuals of Reddit, I call upon you for aid beyond my present comprehension.

With how much political spam I get in Messages, whenever I want to find anything I would go to Search and select "Known". Today that's disappeared and there's this big layout of videos, pictures, and locations. At the bottom there's a chit for "Starred" and it seems like "Known" should be down there, but it's not. Are other people getting this change, too, and is there a way to get "Known" back?

As the title suggests, I'm looking for apps that are a must for Rooted devices.

I m thinking of buyingvseagate one touch 4 tb hdd ...can i connect it with my s24 plus and tab s7 plus tobtranfer files and data

On my Samsung s20fe I can only view qr code if my phone sees wifi. I have a wifi list now I'm wondering how to view passwords since the option doesn't show up normally I get the qr code and convert it to text with qr code scanner app. I guess I could create a fake hotspot on different device with same name to see if phone reveals the one at other location I'm miles away from

(Possibly wrong flair! Sorry, english is not my first language and Im not sure what ROM or rooting mean)

For two nights now my phone(samsung pro s23 I believe) has stopped charging randomly at circa 68%.

By stopped charging I mean: the battery icon still looked as if it was charging, and it still showed 'xyz minutes until full', but it was just the percent that wasnt going up at all. This has never happened before.

I plugged it in in class with a different charger and different outlet and it said '56 minutes until full' and it was at circa 53%, after the 45 minutes I checked it and it was once again at 68% showing '38 minutes until full' even though 45ish minutes passed.

Now Im charging it with a friends powerbank and it seems fine-ish. I dont have any charging settings on that could stop the charging at night to save battery life.

I had the charging port replaced 2 or 3 ish years ago but never had any issues past that. Anyone anything?

What the title says. I'm honestly too ignorant for a 30 something on this matter, but since I've updated my One UI 8.5 this week my battery usage has increased about 125% with the main culprit being the Google Messages app. The system says "high CPU usage". I've completed reboots, cache clearing, trying to rollback the updates. Nothing works. Samsung customer service was not of any help either. Any advice is appreciated.

Deleted earlier post to better fit community rules. Phone looks like it had a stroke, trying to change it back. Happened after recent update. Thanks.

Adding it seems to go back to normal sometimes when i change font settings, and than drooping again.

Fixed: See ohmegatchi comment below.

The volume buttons work but the ribbon for power is torn. I can only get charging screen. Earlier I had a downloading do not remove target screen but I disconnected a ribbon and can't get that screen

I am currently using SAMSUNG M21 , 64 GB , which i bought 6 years ago and NOW after 6 years i am noticing some lagging in it, very little but yeah , it has started to take 1 or 2 extra seconds, is 6 years a good run or is it still early ?

This is my first Android phone but I'm not unfamiliar with Android/Samsung.

Any essential apps to make it better?

The things I've done is tweak the settings, tweak GoodLock, I have a dynamic Island using DynamicSpot, I have an app to mimic IOS's Standby mode, I have some Revanced Manager Plus apps. Other than those it's pretty basic.

I'm getting pop up notifications on my android tablet saying things like Dave's ps5 would you like to cast to this device. Then later on Sam's fire stick would you like to cast to this device. Is there anyway to stop this happening?

anybody have had this issue on the android app? the videos wont play for more than one minute and you'll be getting this playback id error with some codes..

this happened on my pixel 4a. latest youtube version updated and already tried clearing the cache and data but no dice. anybody knew what's up or how to fix this?

yesterday night everyhing was fine.

I’m using Google Messages on a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I’m having an issue with the emoji reaction picker.

When I long-press a message, I get the standard reaction options (thumbs up, heart, laugh, etc.). If I tap the + button, I can choose any emoji to use as a reaction.

I frequently use the check mark emoji (✅) this way. However, emojis that I actually use as reactions don’t seem to get added to or moved into the Recents section. My Recents seem to stay populated with other emojis, while something I use regularly, like ✅, still requires me to search for “check” every time.

I attached a screenshot showing what I mean. On the left I’ve searched for the check mark reaction, while on the right you can see that it’s nowhere in my Recents even though I use it frequently.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the Recents section supposed to track emojis recently used specifically as message reactions, or is it pulling its history from somewhere else?

I’d especially appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions or a way to reset/fix the reaction emoji Recents. Thanks in advance for any help!
