    Thread Watch face bug?

    Hi guys, A few days ago my Sport stopped showing correct step/stair/calorie counts on the watch face (zeros everywhere). SHealth widget and app on the watch counts everything fine, it's just the watch face that got 'disconnected'. Tried rebooting, changing the watch faces. No improvements...

    Thread No symbol keys

    Hi guys, So I just got this new pixel and I'm loving it. However, I came across a strange problem. I'm using STK for bank payments, authorization etc. Basically your Sim card sends you a message asking for a pin code. My pin contains not only numbers but a few symbols as well and that is the...

    Thread A fake wireless charger

    Hey guys, So I got this Samsung wireless charger that is supposedly 'original' from Aliexpress. There's actually a fan inside and it does say that it's fast wirelessly charging on the phone. However it is not that fast - 15% in 40 minutes. What speeds do you get with your wireless chargers? I'm...

    Thread S6 to O+3?

    Hey guys, Just a quickie - do you think it's worth moving from our SGS6 to the new Oneplus3 or is it just a minor step up? On paper the specs look great, but I haven't noticed any major stutters on my 6 to look forward to not having them :D

    Thread Flash/root counter

    Hi guys, just a quick question - does the G4 or LG phones in general have the so called flash counter (Samsung)? For example, if you flash a custom recovery/ROM, it triggers the counter and unless you use a counter reset tool (like TriangleAway) it stays at that count? Or is there no way for the...

    Hi guys, so I've just bought my G4 second handed and I'm very happy with it.

    Thread A peaceful break-up with Sony

    Hi guys, just wanted to get some opinions: after more than a year with Sony phones, I think I'm ready to move on to a different design, what would you suggest? S6? G4? M9? Z2's forever in my heart, it has simply become too dull.

    HI guys, After being a sammy boy for years, Sony's android development is still a deep forest for me with all its bootloaders and secret keys.
