Bah, no 256GB model for the Xiaomi 9T, which is the Redmi K20 in China. It really sucks that they are so intent on regional differences, the K20 series and especially the pro could have been something magical for the sub 500€ category.

If this means they got rid of the two tone design on the back I am disappointed.
Google is actually real good at making an uglier iPhone knockoff for years. It's fascinating.
Everyone else copies apple, but do their best to do one better, Google seems fine at not giving a shit about that.

Because I use a launcher to turn them off as much as possible
Maybe animations cause more lag or something? I got onto Nova with me S10e because even the launchers that are supposed to be great felt slightly less responsive to Nova.
Are you on Q? I submitted a bug report but was told it's a problem on Google's end.
This has been my experience on the S10 (and S9). I will play with Nova launcher on the 3A (on Android Q) and see what happens
Oh. I meant to say that there are a lot of incompatibilities between Nova and Q.
Android Q is great and all on Pixel, but I desperately need a swipe down to toggle notifications option. I hate having to reach to the back of the finger print sensor just to do that. They way I hold my phone, it just doesn't feel naturally. This is one of the reasons why I still strongly prefer to use the S10. One UI also makes the difference much more drastic.
Anybody in here play around with Google Home devices? I don't see a dedicated thread about that.
I'm wondering how to get my Home to use my Android TV's apps instead of casting everything to the TV. When I try to use Netflix or Hulu, it tries to get me to sign in again even though I'm signed in on the TV, it casts Google Music instead of using the TV's app, etc.
The Google Home support page suggests Google Home is built entirely around casting:

AFAIK, Google Home can only cast, not control Android/AndroidTV apps.
My son asked me for a new phone for his birthday (he'll be 11 years in July). Right now he has a hand me down Galaxy J7 2016 edition. Budget is 250 maximum and I'm thinking about getting him a Samsung A20, which is on budget. Any ideas about a better phone for the price or is that phone the best one I can score for the price?
if you are outside of the US, look into xiaomi. Way better specs for that price range.
Or if you are cool dad, find a cheap Essential Phone haha
One thing I will add about the LG G8. Buying a case or skin with some grip on it is an absolute must. The G8 is the slipperiest phone in the history of human existence.
Yep, motherfucker with no case on it perpetually ends up on the floor of my car.
This is my first Android phone :(
And it came out ages ago in other regions, just that Australia got screwed :/
Staggered releases are a thing on Android. In Samsung's case, staggering means waiting months on updates if you happen to be in the wrong region. Sometimes you can install a different regions manually, if you don't wish to wait.
Don't expect Apple type of releases though, where everyone and every device gets updated when a new Android version is out.
Hmm, if this pans out along with that rumor of a folding Xperia for next year and top it off with 5G and I think I may have found my new phone to replace my XZ Premium!
The only thing I'd desire more is a proper successor to the Xperia Play so I can play my games over 5G on the go.
I feel like this is a recent thing but I'm not sure. Have you found a fix?
It doesn't seem to be happening now, and I've just taken an update, so it might have been a bug
Holy crap, you can just turn off animations completely under accessibility options. Pie feels so much faster that way, I especially hated the lockscreen animations for my podcast app. It's just like a second, but it shouldn't exist at all.
Yeah I love how much you can customize android. You can also adjust the animation/transition durations under dev options.
I've updated chrome and I still have the issue. Might be a bit less frequent but it's still there.
Finally, my preorder got canceled by AT&T but whenever they open that again I'll go and get this.
Really want to upgrade my s8+ already lol.
I made mine through Samsung, hopefully they throw in some freebies for keeping it.
Y'all are some brave motherfuckers.
Or rich motherfuckers.
Either way, my applause for taking that bullet.
Only because I can have Samsung Care for it. I've used it with my S8+ and they were top notch in replacing.
When I pause my web and app activity under "My Activity" it renders my Insignia Bluetooth speaker useless.
Under the My Activity page, it shows the following note:
"Your Web & App Activity includes the things you do on Google services, like Maps, Search, and Play. It can also include things you do on sites, apps, and devices that use Google services. The activity you keep is used to give you more personalized experiences, like faster searches and more helpful app and content recommendations."
All asked the device to do is set an alarm for a certain time. It's response is that I need to go settings and change them in order to be able to do this.
What the fuck is this shit Google?

Ad with soothing voice: "Google wants to always be there, next to you. From when you wake up, to when you get ready to sleep. Getting ready to leave home? Google knows. Having kinky sex with the wife in the bedroom? Google can give you ads based on your performance. We are there for you. Google."
This doesn't speed things up though. does it? I've tried it on my 6T and thought that it's just my mind playing tricks.
It definitely speeds up a few small things. Like I said, this lockscreen fade-in animation for my podcast app is completely being skipped now. Might be less than a second, but it's gone. Even unlocking has a small fade animation that is gone. But it's all small stuff. Sems4arsenal
I have it at 0.5 but still feel a middle ground between it and 1 would be perfect.
Looks like Google is making some more policy changes and may break the email app Nine on the 15th of July. I got this email today,
Does anyone know anything about it?
