Pixel 6a, then Pixel 7 and now Pixel 9. All versions still have trouble with fingerprint. I hate to torture my phone by using face unlock, :O( but it works.

Weird, I never had issues. The pixel 9 even has the new ultrasonic fingerprint reader so it should be way better as well. Maybe delete them and do the setup again on the 9.

To name a few: Internet access, camera, clock/stopwatch/alarms, digital TV/radio, music player, video player, compass, gps, programming, word processing, chats. Some even have FM Radio

There's some other major function that eludes me for a moment - oh yes, you can also use it to make phone calls.

Also headphone sockets are being phased out favouring bluetooth connections.

Plenty of USB-C wired earbuds on the market.

USB-C Adapter works as headphone jack on my A35!

Can still plug my phone into the old mixing board at rehearsal! :thumbsup:

I wished someone made a really small sized hub so one can hook up headphones, charger/data cable and a storage device like MicroSD card or USB Flash Drive all at the same time for USB-C.

Yeah but I read somewhere even usb-c connections are being considered for removal - QI charging only.

Mind you it was probably on the internet on 1st April.

Perhaps..., probably quite a way off for that though.

Those of you with a Samsung device..., I highly recommend the S-View wallet case, it's real slick and multi functional.
It also saves your screen from getting beat to rat-

!

Yes, was thinking about deleting and starting again and using a different digit. "They" say that when you get a certain age, your finger prints are less and less prominent.? Maybe it is me "practicing" safe cracking has them worn down. :O). I updated my Pixel 9 to android 15 a day after it was announced, Oct 15.

The thing about multi-hubs is the jack spacing almost always determines the size

@A Guy - That's true but I meant couldn't someone just make a multi USB-C port adapter that is like 4 devices max?

Since when did Android ditch infinite Home Screen scrolling???

(Go Full Screen, it's best)

I use NOVA launcher on my android phones. It allows infinite horizontal scrolling on both the normal screen and on the application drawer.

So you swipe in horizontal direction and screens loop back to first screen.

It allows vertical scrolling on the application drawer but only from top to bottom, not infinite scrolling.

Nova launcher is far superior (imo) than the standard launcher and much more configurable.

I have used it for years - I like its backup of screens so you can reinstate all the icons to a known position.

I know the standard launcher is getting better but still a way to go to get to NOVA.

Why not give it a try - you can flip back to standard launcher an uninstall NOVA if not satisfied.

its also possible your pressing too light on the screen when doing so. I know some people didnt realize you need to press a little harder than you think for it to get a good read. I have no issues on my pixel 8 pro, it works 99% of the time. The only times it does not is when my hand is super sweaty.

Tons of options!

Not sure if I prefer it over the default, though...

It's official..., tomorrow is:

"International Clean Your Damn Phone Day"

C'mon you guys, peel that thing out of it's Gel Case and get it cleaned it up, it's gross man, you'd be surprised!!!
Start the New Year off right with a clean, shiny, germ-free phone!

Happy New Year!!!

I just peeled the case off my phone and cleaned both.

Do you shut yours down to do it? I did.

Not necessarily..., I just use a Windex dampened cloth and a dry cloth, maybe a couple Q-Tips if necessary.
I always Restart the device though, at least every few days.
A Restart, or soft reset, will purge the RAM properly.

Not quite the same subject but if you are out and about and phone screen is really in need of an "emergency" clean, I found that DIET COLA on a tissue works well.

I showed guys down the pub this and they all do it now lol.

I tried other diet drinks and they did not work as effectively as diet cola - I reckon it is the phosphoric acid that does the trick?

Of course, do not use full fat cola as the sugar will make things sticky.

What phones does everyone use?
