    Thread Whats the Menu that comes when swiping from the side of the screen

    Just got a P30 Pro, pretty happy with it, used some de bloat examples to remove a few things, mostly i'm happy with it but there is one thing driving me nuts. Its the menu you swipe from left or right to get that row of icons to show. I seem to of removed the menu, but I can't seem to remove...

    Post Battery life is worse after Android Pie (9):

    I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates. However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made...

    Post Battery life is worse after Android Pie (9):

    My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight. Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy...

    Post Mugen extended battery 950xl

    The battery is holding up well, sadly, I have issues with the phone now, about 3 months ago there is something around the battery terminals that seems to be coming from inside the handset, for many months the phone was flawless, but I'm not sure if fluid has leaked out of the heat pipe now, is...

    Thread Is the dual sim version identical with hardware?

    had a 905xl since launch, recently its become a little unusable, regular battery lasting around 4 hours, even the mugen extended one barely lasts 2 days. Bought a Nokia 8, its ok until I use it for photo's then I miss the quality of the camera in a big way. Just wondering if the dual sim is...

    Post Android 9 to be released in November.

    I do find it odd how quickly it went from 4 to 9! assuming they want to get to android 11 to be one ahead of windows then 13 quickly to be ahead of ios!

    Post Photo quality

    That's with gcam! It is truly amazing the difference it makes, but I find low light photos so noisy compared to what I've been used to for years. Its like cars, never get the one with the extra toys as you miss things you've gotten used too the stock camera app is almost laughably bad, makes...

    Post Photo quality

    focus is weird, on the 950xl I had I would say 9 times out of 10 its a perfect shot without even trying on this I would say 3 times out of 10 it comes out really surprisingly well when your doing your best to hold your hands as steady as possible, even you don't try to hold it steady 0 out of...

    Post Low light

    Post A better camera please...

    I found the nexus6p setting decreased image quality for me. I mainly fiddled to get low light quality after that's my main gripe with the camera. I personally can't believe how much the app improves the camera, I found the camera incredibly disappointing with the stock app!

    Post Is nokia 8 still worth buying in September 2018 ?

    Just bought one so I hope so... For the price nothing seems to compare now spec wise, I've got a 950xl that has some kind of weird power draw issue which has forced my hand to finally ditch windows phone. Sadly instore the Nakia 7.1 instantly took a better picture but I found I hard to spend...

    Thread flash 950 rom onto 950xl?

    My other half uses a 950 and I use a 950xl, the 950 seems to have far less stability issues and a newer firmware revision... would it be really stupid to flash rm-1104 firmware to rm-1085 device? I don't think we've ever had to reboot the 950, at least if we have its so rare we don't remember...

    Post Registry Key for Powercfg solved heat issue

    I think the disabling the CPU Throttling must be what kills the 950XL's performance they struggle with the heat as it is, surely this can only worsen the problem? any chance if you get a moment to explain the meaning of those values and what best to set them too? i'd be interested in setting...

    Post Registry Key for Powercfg solved heat issue

    I i was hoping it would throttle cpu or limit power draw, the registry keys for changing he paging file made a dramatic improvement, figured its worth trying this, phone never crashes when plugged in for me, I figured something to do wth powerdraw, replaced battery with a dodgy eBay one, it...

    Post Registry Key for Powercfg solved heat issue

    out of interest what does this do? I have a 950xl and a bit fed up of it crashing, just unlocked it to increase the paging file hoping it helps, but it often gets really hot and freezes, assuming its a memory or heat issue, will this throttle cpu to stop it overheating or is it only for...
