I’m using a Pixel 6 Pro right now, and I’m looking around to see if there are any good phones. However, I have heard that there are ads in the newer flagship phones (Samsung, Xiaomi). I am willing to spend around USD$750 on a new phone, but I just don’t want any crazy ads or preinstalled apps like Facebook. Are there...

I have encountered a problem where all calls I take are routed through my louder speaker as if I’m always on speaker phone. My OS is a custom ROM called /E/ OS. If anyone has a solution I would love to hear it!

Hi there, I’ve had a broken phone lying around for ages, only kept it as I know there are some pictures and files I wish I could gain access to again. I’ve tried a variety of methods gaining access to the files, but it doesn’t seem possible as I cannot actually use the screen to “allow usb transfer” etc… Is there any...

As per title, I can get lyrics of songs/albums but surely there is the next level where you can karaoke your favourite songs. Thanks for reading.

When android auto first came out i remember that on the market appeared android sticks that were meant to expand the functionality of android auto. They where like the android auto wireless adaptors that are around nowdays but where a standalone android device that used a phone’s hotspot for an internet connection. Are these...

Anyone try any good launchers lately? Something with interesting features or workflow.

Like in title. Modern Android permission system is really annoying. It assumes I do not trust installed apps and I believe was made to promote loose installing of whatever crap like loyalty cards apps, while I only install a couple of trusted apps all from F-Droid.
