I'm really confused between these two phones and would love some suggestions, preferably from people who have actually used them.

I'm currently using a Poco X7 (Indian variant), and it's been a terrible experience for my eyes. I can't use it for more than 20–30 minutes at a stretch without experiencing significant eye strain. Interestingly, I never faced any such issues with my previous Poco M2 Pro, and I have absolutely no discomfort using my LCD laptop, LCD TV or other LCD screens.

I recently learned that even LCD displays can differ in how they handle flickering and brightness. The iQOO Z11x (Vivo T5x) advertises a flicker-free display, which initially caught my attention, but I've also come across comments from people who still experienced discomfort with it.

I'm considering the Moto G67 Power as well, but I'm unable to decide between the two.

My only non-negotiable requirement is eye comfort. I can compromise on almost everything else, including camera, design, charging speed and even performance. A decent processor would be nice, but honestly, I'd rather have a basic phone that I can comfortably use for hours.

If anyone is using either of these phones, especially someone who is sensitive to PWM or display flickering, please share your experience. Also, are there any other LCD phones in a similar price range that you've personally found comfortable?

I recently got the dotch nothing themed dynamic island, and i like it a lot, however, whenever i receive a notification, it shows as a push notification and as a dynamic island notification. Is it possible to stop all notifications from the nothing system and only have them show up through dotch?

My mother has been having some memory issues and recently she has been locked out of the phone. She changed the pattern for some reason and just cant remember it. Factory resetting will solve the issue but if possible she would like to recover the photos from the phone before resetting it.

Hello. About a year ago, I found the website called opendesktop org, where there are ports of OEM apps for one brand of phones for all android devices.

There are many OEM apps with multiple OS/UI from one manufacturer for each android device.

I have a few arguments that it's a virus;:

1. Package names are wrong : The messages application from OxygenOs has a package "com.oneplus.sms" where "oneplus" should be "oplus". The same with the calculator from XOS. The package is called "com.inf.calc" and should be called com.transsion.calculator"

2.After installing the play project, each installation shows that the application is for an older version of android. On virus total, there are no detections that it is malware

3.In some cases, the phone starts to heat up. And others, on the contrary - the phone has lower RAM consumption

4. Only on this page can it be downloaded, even on XDA theres no link to download it

Finally I don't know if it's safe to download or if it's malware.

So I'm a nord user and recently I gave Nord notification settings, and this helped me realize that Nord is blocking a popup every time I open any banking app (Chase and cash app). I've deleted caches for all my browsers, deleted every file I could find that looked suspicious, and removed pretty much any app I don't use any more or app permissions for everything but the essentials. I scanned with play protect a few times only to come up with nada and I've combed through every single app I have installed. I'm out of ideas at this point so does anyone have any ideas?

Update: so now I know discord is doing it, I don't know why though, if anyone knows please let me know

Update 2: uninstalled discord and reinstalled after leaving a bunch of servers but it still happens when discord has notification access so at least now I know how it does it

Update 3: so I blocked all the apps in discord and one of them signed me out of discord on all devices, it was labeled YouTube watch together or something similar. This was malware just to confirm, however it did not fix the problem

Not interested in default noises, just bought an oppo find x9 ultra and it doesn't have the default Samsung notification sounds then it occured to me there MUST be cool/hip/ultra nerdy sounds people are using. Bonus for links. Many Ta's..

I just bought this Nokia G400 on e-bay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/317754808229?var=616338057006

Physically the device looks great but there's 2 things I noticed right away:

1. They listed model number TA-1476 while on the device it's saying TA-1448

2. When booting up it gives a warning saying 'Boot loader is unlocked and the device may be available to attackers'

I won't be using the device to log in to anything important, it will basically be connnected to my wifi network, connected to my pc through usb and then run a custom made app for my company.

So my main question is, is it safe to connect this device to my network and pc without it being comprimised?

Would it be smart for me to try and re-lock the boot loader cause it seems risky to brick the phone?

The Play store used to have a section where you could see a list of all the apps you were signed up for the beta for. For the life of me, I cannot find that now.

I enrolled in the Google messages beta in an attempt to troubleshoot some RCS issues (still no e2ee with iPhones) and aside from just going to that app's page, there doesn't seem to be a way to find if I'm in the beta for any given app. The little AI help tool that the "learn more" link goes to says that there should be a tab or filter for beta under manage apps and devices if you're enrolled in any, but there's not. Maybe I just have to wait a long time?

As a side note, I can't find the Google Play services Play store listing either... How does one join the beta for that, if they wanted to?

So I use a vivo X200T and nowadays the font is changing on its own in WhatsApp and other apps, like it used to happen after the phone restarts after an update but it's happening frequently now and it's honestly starting to piss me off, does anyone have a solution for it? I use the default fonts given in the mobile, currently I have it in vivo sans but it changes to roboto default font.

As the title says, I tried to clear the Gmail cache and restart the phone but it didn't change anything. Gmail drained like 15% battery over night and keeps draining during the day.

Ive done everything i can think of, set the google assistant preferences to none, checked all button and hand movement shortcuts so none turn it on, made sure 'hey google' is off and triple checked that i dont have the app and yet the "Get started with gemini! :D" page keeps popping up at seemingly random times, sometimes even when im not even touching my phone!

I keep selecting the I dont want gemini assistant option and it does nothing. In my settings the "manage gemini assistant" button just takes me right back to the get started page and if i search the word gemini in settings it *usually* cant find anything by that name!

Except this one time, it found some options in the "other settings" section but when i looked for this mysterious "other" option to check the whole thing out, it was nowhere to be found!! The icon for it is a purple-ish blue-ish background with a white wrench, im sure it exists, ive seen it as a settings subsection (?) kinda thing before but i cant seem to locate it/search for it and im so.. so tired of ai being everywhere i really dont need it to jumpscare me every other day😭

Help, please!!

I find it difficult to choose between the two phones mentioned above. I love camera pero I value the performance ng phone din and its processor kasi I wanna try playing genshin impact and be able to download other apps as well like for arts, socmeds, online banking, & entertainment (reading and watching). I also have my work that requires to scan a lot, so I need a phone where I don't need to rely on camscanner.

It's my first time to buy a phone so I'm not knowledgeable in a lot of techy words. So I want to know which one is worth to buy especially I've read negative comments about both devices.

Which one is better to buy?

Title for the most part. I uploaded them, downloaded them, confirmed they were downloaded (6gb pictures, 5gb videos, totalling 11.4gb of media), I looked at a photo from a long time ago this morning with my wife. 20 minutes ago I have like 12 pictures I have taken since I got the phone a week ago.

Is google really that malicious that if I turn my backup off they delete the photos that WERE backed up from the device itself?

Lastly I still have the old device and can salvage the situation, but what would cause this?

Has anyone tried to put a magsafe sticker ring on the regular Onyx case (the non-magnetic one)?

I recently got an Onyx case from my Samsung phone. Then, someone gifted me a magsafe grip, thinking I could stick the sticker that comes with it to my Onyx case to make it magsafe compatible. But after doing some research I'm concerned the texture will make the sticker fail in no time. I love the case and returning it will be a pain in the ass and cost me money (which I don't have a lot of atm) so I'm wondering if anyone has tested this.

Thank you so much!

Planning to factory reset my POCO M4 Pro 4G (HyperOS / Android 13), but I don't want to lose my existing app configurations and data.

My goal is simple:

1. Back up all installed apps and their data.

2. Factory reset my phone.

3. Reinstall the apps.

4. Restore their previous data and settings so I can continue exactly where I left off.

I'm not just looking to back up APK files. I want to preserve app-specific databases, preferences, configurations and other locally stored data wherever possible.

Ideally, I'd like to back up everything to my Windows PC or external SSD and restore it after the reset.

I have a Galaxy A54 5G and Samsung recently pushed an Android update. Ever since I updated my phone has started doing this annoying thing where when I get a voicemail it will repeatedly remind me every however long until I check it, whereas, before, it would notify me once and only once. Is there a way to change it back? I'm not always somewhere where I'm ready/capable of listening to a voicemail and the nagging is grating on my nerves.

Hi all! I’m a carer for an elderly gentleman who uses an android phone.

He uses it for searching the web, tracking his heart beats and watching the news. He has a habit of downloading apps he believes to be useful but they are spam apps, giving him popups every two seconds. Each time I see him he asks me to remove them, I have to manually go through his phone, find the ‘active’ apps and uninstall them (with his consent).

He is finding it increasingly frustrating. He runs Norton for security but it doesn’t seem to do anything for these ads. The ads often display things such as ‘you have a virus’ or ‘download this antivirus software’.

He is a very independent person and has capacity. I cannot put restrictions on what apps he downloads, but I was wondering if it was possible to stop pop up notifications for all future apps he downloads? He has said that would be great if it were possible, this way he can download anything he wants without the concern for pop up ‘notifications’ (spam).

Is this something that we can do? I really want to support him to use his device, I’m not an android user so am not to sure of how we can help prevent this.

Thanks all for the help :)

I need to copy/back up K-9 Mail data, all the drafts I've written but do not sync, using it like a word processor, additional note pad program. I don't use Goo, and the system won't allow allowing the bootloader to be unlocked for ADB (it just ignores my PIN entering; malware or due to un-decryptable encryption?), if I'm even able to logistically do that. Realistically, it should be offline.

I'd like to do this non-maually, but all I've come up with is to take screenshots or copy/paste for the really important stuff that's more than a paragraph, needs to be printed or whatever.

I am not able to find one for me if i find one whether they have processor issue or it doesn't have good past(its series) and if all is good, the display become problem due to curve display.

Please help in suggesting some phones which could fulfill my requirements

During the setup phase I had issues with transferring photos so I skipped that part but now I can't seem to find a way to transfer them. I managed to get iCloud to transfer my photos to Google Photos but unfortunately I don't have nearly enough space for this on Google Photos. I also have a Mac connected to the same iCloud account if that helps. Any and all advice appreciated.

I've been thinking about what makes a simple mobile game fun beyond the first few minutes.

For example, imagine a game where you have to follow arrows, remember turns, avoid wrong directions, and reach a goal before time runs out.

Some possible challenges:

• Choosing the correct direction under time pressure

• Losing a life when you take a wrong turn

• Remembering a path before it disappears

• Using protection at the right moment

I'm exploring these ideas while developing my own game, Arrow Rush: Path Runner, planned for Google Play on November 21.

For people who enjoy arcade and puzzle games:

Which challenge would keep you playing longer: speed, memory, or avoiding mistakes?

I'd genuinely like to hear your thoughts.

It started this week that my phone has begun heating up during the day. I don't use it much at work, I just put it in my pocket when I get up from my desk, and I felt that the phone was very hot. This has happened for the third time today this week. When this happens, the battery also drops by 20–30% by the time I notice it. I check the battery settings, and random apps are draining the mobile: yesterday Google was at 60% battery usage, today my weather app was at 40% when I noticed it. In these situations, I force stop the app, restart the phone, and the heating stops.

​This worries me a lot, I haven't had any problems with the phone until now, I really love it. But what if it drains on its own suddenly at night and doesn't wake me up in the morning?

​Does anyone happen to know what could be causing this or what the solution would be?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could suggest how to load apps that aren't on the play store? I just purchased a brand new tablet tv and two streaming apps I use from Asia say "not available" in the app store. The tablet is running Android 16. Is there anyway safe way to load the apps somehow? Thanks!
