Got a banking app that's detecting Magisk. Previously all I had to do was add it to the magisk hide list, but I can't find the list in the new manager (v 8.0.3) - there's just a magisk hide toggle, no option to set which apps it's hidden from. Feel like I must be missing something really...

Anyone else having this issue? Swipe gestures work pretty reliably (I'd say >90% of the time) when I'm holding the phone in my hand or it's on a stand with an angle of 45 degrees or so, but that drops off to less than 50% of the time when the phone is flat on my desk. I've even tried using the...

I ran diffchecker on the adb system settings output with force 90hz enabled and disabled, and found the setting that switches when you activate "force 90Hz" in the developer settings: "min_refresh_rate=90.0". If you're rooted you can set that with Tasker based on whatever conditions you want...

I'm thinking of getting either a Note 9 or an S10 to replace my Pixel 2 XL. Been searching for some info about how screen-off notifications are handled but haven't been able to find it, hoping someone here will help me out. Last time I owned a Samsung device (S8+), I found I didn't like the way...

One change I make to all my android devices pretty much immediately is installing a center clock mod. On my Pixel 2 XL I haven't been able to get one working without the side effect of having status icons show up on the always-on display, which is a bad idea because of burn-in potential. Today I...

Thought this might help some people get a little extra use out of a Pixel 2 feature: I'm using Custom Quick Settings to hide the nav bar and of course active edge stopped working, but I noticed it still functioned on the lockscreen. Squeeze-launching the assistant from the lockscreen is...

Is anyone else having this issue? My pictures from the 360 camera sometimes cut off the bottom 20-40% of the image, leaving just a big black circle when viewed. I'm already debating whether or not to return the phone for a refund since getting a warranty replacement for the missing earpiece...

If you're looking for a clamshell case to protect your 360 cam, I found a pretty good one being sold as an earbud case on Amazon. The fit is actually really good, especially if you use the soft bag that came with the cam as well as the case (since the bag makes it just that little bit bulkier)...

I saw a couple of reviews that said fingerprint gestures were not working on the Essential. Don't know if any of you felt the same, but I was pretty disappointed 'cause I assumed that meant the hardware just didn't work that way and couldn't be made to. Guess those reviewers didn't really know...

Weird question for other owners: is the power button as stiff and clicky (and loud) as the volume buttons? Mine isn't, and I can't remember if I was when I got the phone last week or not. It doesn't really bother me, but if it's supposed to be firmer and has softened after a few days of use, I...

We have a thread already about Textra's send button not working properly because the app thinks you're tapping about a centimeter below it, but I've found similar glitches in other apps - FX File Explorer, for instance, has a menu at the top-right that pops up under the status bar. It seems to...

So, I flashed my S8+ onto BatMan-Rom today with no apparent issues. Clean flash, booted with no problems. While restoring apps (not system data) with Titanium Backup, my phone's screen switched off and I couldn't get it back on. The phone got really hot but would not reset with holding...

I'm trying to write a Tasker task that would, among other things, trigger one-handed mode on my S8+. Simulating the triple home button press doesn't work as it's too slow, and I don't want to use the swipe as it stupidly resets the size of the reduced screen to default (I prefer it a bit...

So, today I tried to use multiwindow while I was driving to show navigation in one window and my music player in the other. Unfortunately I found that with both Google Maps and Here, GPS didn't work in multiwindow; I had to expand the maps window to full screen in order to get it working. I'm on...

So, I've just updated to the latest Pure Nexus - did a wipe and clean install - and I'm trying to get my apps set up again, but I can't grant permissions through system settings. If an app actually pops up and requests a permission, I can allow it; but for some apps, this doesn't happen. Home...

I've been trying to get my Z3 into flashmode for about an hour now. Everything else works fine - phone boots into Android or recovery with no problems. But flashmode just doesn't work - when flashtool prompts me, I hold the volume down button while plugging in the USB cable, and I get a red LED...

I got my Verus High Pro Shield case (in electric blue) last week. Love the design, but I'm returning it today because the paint has already scuffed off the bumper in five places, allowing the ugly white plastic underneath to show through. Just wondering if other people have had this issue - I'm...

I know Marshmallow does a lot of wakelock/alarm optimizing on its own, but I like to run Amplify not just to extend my battery, but also for privacy reasons - I block a lot of services with things like "analytics" in the names. I got my new Nexus 6P today and while getting everything set up, I...

One of my favorite things about my Sony Xperia Z3 over the last couple of years has been the Case-Mate Tough Case I've had on it. I drop my phone pretty regularly, and that thing holds up to whatever I throw at it (or, I guess, whatever I throw it at). In addition to being a nice protective...

The weather data on my Gear S2 never updates until I actually go into the weather app - not even when I scroll over to the weather widget. I've done some reading on various forums and discovered this is a common problem people have had with Samsung smartwatches over the last few years, and it's...

I just picked up a set of the Sony noise-cancelling headphones for use with my bootloader-unlocked Xperia Z3. So far, they appear to work in the sense that the feature is available, but I'm underwhelmed with the quality. When I switched the noise cancelling feature on in the audio settings, the...

Just got my Z3 today and unlocked immediately. I thought about waiting for TA backup to be possible, but I honestly couldn't picture myself ever re-locking, so I figured the feature sacrifice would be a one-way trip anyway. Plenty of threads have been started with regard to the degradation in...

Hi everyone, I've just purchased my Z3 and am debating unlocking the bootloader now or waiting a while to see if a root exploit shows up that would allow me to back up the TA partition first. I honestly don't care about the camera processing stuff (I don't use my camera for any shots where I...
