    Anyone know what "enable optional codecs" means?

    Connected my Pi7 s2, looked in developer options and saw this... Anyone have any idea what it means? I've never seen this option before,and my best guess is that both the Pi7 s2 and the V60 are capable of Aptx Adaptive, but instead of showing that codec, it's just showing that. It's wierd...

    Bose Quiet Comfort 2...free upgrade to the QC Ultra

    So, if you are having "problems" with your QC2, go through the app's self-help checklist, and if you get to the end without a solution, you will be prompted to send in your buds, and Bose will send you...a pair of QC Ultras.

    Need help using AptX codex...SOLVED.

    So while researching phones that come packaged with AptX Lossless, I saw that the Motorola RAZR 2023 was a phone that could deliver this codec. I bought one, and quickly tried to connect my Soundpeats Air4 Pro, which are capable of AptX Lossless as well...but I can't connect to anything but LC3...

    Is anyone else having a hard time using the swipe gesture for screenshots?

    I feel like an idiot, and I have yet to successfully do it in the weeks I've owned this device. I've always had to resort to using the screenshot button in the menu screen. Is it just me, or can anyone else confirm that it's more specific with phone?

    This is the only article I've read stating what we all know, but no YouTube reviewers ever mention about the S24 camera...

    https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s24-ultra-camera-moving-pets-3409393/ I'm not hating, and I'm not trying to start a Pixel vs Samsung camera argument, but I just wish reviewers were more honest with their camera reviews. I've taken some great photos with my S24+, but I've always...

    My new S24+ is a cool side-phone, but 2 reasons it can't be my daily driver...

    I caved and traded in my Note10+ for an S24+...but it was impossible to say no, TMobile offered me $1000! It was basically a straight up trade, my N10+ for the S24+. Anyway, after playing around with the phone, I think it's great, and a lot of ways is better than my Pixel 8 Pro, but there are...

    Low light problems with fingerprint unlock

    When I'm trying to unlock my phone, it seems the default attempt is face unlock. The problem is when there's not enough light, and I try to use my fingerprint, there's this lag, which results in the phone not picking up my fingerprint. Anyone else having this problem? It's easy to replicate...

    Pixel Watch 2 for Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds?

    Okay, so most of us are getting a Pixel Watch 2 as a preorder bonus, but I'm fine with my Galaxy Watch 5 and was hoping someone would want to trade for some Bose QC Ultra earbuds. I'm down to meet up (CA Bay Area), or we can do some sort of official sale via Mercari so that there's paperwork.

    Anyone know why my Note 4 isn't accessing the Google Play Store anymore?

    Is it because the phone's too old? It's basically not letting me update apps. It just has this image:

    Suggestion on pocket camera

    I'm wondering if a budget of $400 can get me a pocket camera that would be better than any Pixel, iPhone or Samsung with strictly photography. I understand that a smart phone has the capability to capture and touch up point and shoot shots with ai and processing, but are there point and shoot...

    What's wrong with my selfie camera?!

    Just got a Pixel 4 from Amazon Renewed, and everything seemed fine until I started camera testing. My selfie camera looks like I slathered Vaseline on my face. There's no detail, and pixel peeping shows now individual hair details in regular and portrait mode. Did I just get a bum device, is...

    Apple loses lawsuit for not including charger...

    53% battery drain per hour by mobile network?

    So I charged my phone to 100% by around 11PM last night. I wake up at 5:45AM today and it's at 65%. What?! A always put my phone into extreme battery saver when I go to sleep, which usually keeps the hourly idle battery drain to around 1 to 1.5% or hour. Anyone know what's up with this? I'm on...

    Did Samsung just intentionally nerf the Note 10?!

    I was taking pictures and realized they were extra blurry/terrible, and I decided that maybe the resolution of the pictures was off. I tried for literally 30 minutes to find where I could change the resolution of pics and videos...and they're gone. There is no way to select the quality of your...

    What's the best-spec'ed android under $450, used or new?

    I have a budget of around $450 to get an android phone, and was initially thinking of the Note 10+ due to the 12g of RAM and 256g of storage, plus with security updates, it should be safe to use for at least two years (monthly then i'm assuming quarterly updates). I thought I would be okay with...

    BOGO Samsung phones on Amazon...what does this say about value?

    Picture quality...is this normal? Are there settings for this?

    Okay, so this may be entirely a personal preference thing, but I really don't like how this camera represents people, more specifically how it represents skin. Here are some examples. The first 3 are with the Ultra, and upon zooming in, it turns into an oil painting, or basically what any...

    What's your average battery drain per hour when idle?

    I'm at around 2% per hour. I don't know if that's what it should be, but I do know that it's not going to be anything like apple and iPhones. I was just curious as to what everyone else is at. To be completely transparent, I run wifi, Bluetooth, high performance, location and AoD on all the time.
