    Post Any Recommendations For Slim Gel Case (like the old S-Line) ?

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/iBetter-Premium-Flexible-Protection-Smartphone-%EF%BC%88Black%EF%BC%89/dp/B08HQNVDSD I went for this one in the end. It's pretty good, definitely better than the free one in the box, but it didn't have a hole for the IR Blaster, which I use a fair bit, but I managed to...

    Thread Phone seems generally smoother after October Security Update to me

    So after nearly giving up in this phone after it being almost unusable between March -August ish... I found that the September update made it pretty good again... And have had the October Security Update (and bug fixes it says) for a few days now, and I feel like this phone is back to how good...

    Post MI A2 Lite Custom ROM

    Interesting, I thought you had to root to install a custom ROM... I will look into that, as I believe it is the root that creates issues for banking apps. Yes, I have Pixel Experience on my Redmi Note 5 Pro, it is awesome really, would like it on my Mi A2 Lite, but need to be able to do my...

    Post MI A2 Lite Custom ROM

    Thanks for the answers too. I have been on stock since release, but now thinking of putting on a Rom... But am I right in thinking that if I do then 'banking apps' will no longer work ?

    Thread Possible method to fix all apps to 120hz (until phone is rebooted)

    https://youtu.be/JZNnB3JYhNA Just seen this, I haven't tried yet, but in the video he gets YouTube at 120hz, and seems it's a fix until the phone is rebooted.

    Post Overall love

    Still have my Note 5 Pro (Whyred) and with Google Experience Rom on it it absolutely flies. Hope to see the same rom come to the Poco X3, which I agree feels like a great device just being a but hampered by its software. I also feel the X3 is just a bit too heavy and big really. The Note Pro 5...

    Thread Any Recommendations For Slim Gel Case (like the old S-Line) ?

    I don't mind the free case that came with it, but would prefer something a little bit slimmer if possible, and also with a better 'grip' to it. I used to always get S-Line cases, but can't see any at the moment. I have been looking in Amazon (UK), and nothing really stands out If anyone has...

    Thread Anyone else not particularly impressed with 120hz refresh rate ?

    Been using the phone for 24 hours now, don't really see much point in the 120hz rate, only notice it slightly smoother if scrolling up and down quickly. I guess it's more for games (?). I will stick with 60hz and save some battery, seems fine to me.

    Well nearly been a week now since the update, and definitely feels to me.that things have improved at lot in general use. Not as good as it was brand new, but nowhere near as bad as it was getting the previous few months, and very usable. Battery life seems to have gotten back to where it was...

    Thread August Update seems to have generally improved performance to me

    Installed it about an hour ago (UK) and in general the phone seems a noticeably zippier for browsing and opening apps etc. I am not a tech head, and the update is small, only 13 ish megabytes, but feels like the sluggishness I had been experiencing the last six months has gone somewhat. I had...

    Thread Looks like no more Xiaomi Android One Phones ? No Mi A4 etc

    https://www.bgr.in/news/xiaomi-mi-a4-cancelled-as-brand-calls-quits-on-making-android-one-phones-906947/ Real shame if this is true.... Guess I will be looking at the new Nexus 4a, or a Moto for my next phone as pure android is the best. Mind you I think Xiaomi gave up on their Android One...
