    How can I prevent upgrade to Android 11?

    I understand that 11 isn't about security upgrades, but just about mixing up some features that I have no interest in. My phone says it will upgrade to 11 when I restart. I guess I could just avoid restarting my new OnePlus Nord N10 5G, but is there another way to block this upgrade? I...

    Any "proven" tempered glass screen protectors?

    Take a look at this YouTube video. It shows the problems with tempered glass screen protectors. As he says, if you want to spend a crazy amount of money on a screen protector, go to Sapphire. htthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knv5_zc8ghAp://

    Need rugged case for my new OnePlus Nord N10

Being hard on my devices and wanting the most protective case for my new Nord N10, I decided on the Poetic Revolution. It comes...

    What are the best budget smartphones with VoLTE?

    Thanks for the feedback. I understand Nord N10 updates addressed Android 11 issues. Do you think that's what smoothed it out? Do you see any advantages of 11 over 10, or should I just stick with 10 till something better is developed? In searching for a hard case holster to protect my phone when...

    Need rugged case for my new OnePlus Nord N10

    By the way, when I'm not working in the yard, I tend to carry my phone (still enclosed by the back case) in a Reiko leather belt clip phone holder pouch loop holster Case. They come in all sizes, so I need to choose that based on the dimensions of the hard case I get.

    Need rugged case for my new OnePlus Nord N10

    Unfortunately, I tend to be very hard on my things, so I need added protection. For my present Moto G5 Plus cellphone, I use a polycarbonate hard shell cover over a TPU inner shell holster design that clips onto my belt while I work around my farm. This provides a hard shell on both front and...

    What are the best budget smartphones with VoLTE?

    Thank you for your suggestion. The N10 and 200 are similar, but, for my purposes, the N10 has the edge. I ended up purchasing the N10. I understand Android 11 is available for this phone, though some people are reporting problems with 11. Should I update to 11, or should I wait till Android 12...

    What are the best budget smartphones with VoLTE?

    They're close, but I still am leaning toward the N10 based on comparisons, though my son really likes his Pixel. I'm more of a bare bones type of guy who seeks the best bang for my buck rather than a lot of features I wouldn't be using anyway.

    I'm using Cricket on the AT&T network. They have notified me my phone will no longer work as of February 2022 when they switch from 3G to 4G. I'm looking at the OnePlus Nord N10 5G, but I'd like the pros and cons of smartphones in that price range before I make a final decision. What are your...

    Is the Moto G5 plus compatible with 4G?

    Are you saying there is no way I'll be able to use my phone on AT&T's 4G network?

    Is the Moto G5 plus compatible with 4G?

    Cricket (AT&T) just notified me my phone is incompatible with their switch to total 4G next February, yet I've read that this phone is compatible with either 3G or 4G. When I go into network settings and mobile network, my preferred network type is LTE. The only options listed are 2G, 3G and...
