I considered it and a coworker who has it says they are great. The problem I see is no SD slot so no way to expand or backup locally. It comes with 128Gb I think, so may be less of an issue, but that was the reason it's not on the list.

Yup. I stay on stock image but root makes it different obviously

I dont use pay apps anyway. Security is not a real concern since it's a personal (non-business) phone. I posted on XDA general section but havent had any response yet. This forum is not as technical, but I figured there might be a few users who have successfully rooted anyway. I'll keep looking...

Ad blocking and enable hot spot primarily. I've always rooted so not having root seems strange. I see that carriers have made it difficult as time goes on, but Magisk claims to solve things if the bootloader isn't locked. The options I've been looking at (may not work) are: GS5 GS7 S10e A10e...

I switched from Verizon to At&t recently and my GS5 and wife's GS7 didn't work so we got new phones. She went iphone but I wanted to stay on android so I got an A10e (smallest device they offered for "free". I spent a few weeks researching how to root the A10e and have come to realize it's not...

I feel silly now. I just realized the link is now opening in the amazon app. This new phone is loaded with all kinds of crap that I will remove when I root. I'll disable the amazon app and should be good. Thanks!

The first time I selected the link, nothing happened (the bar moved across but no new tab). The second.click opened a new tab as expected. The 3rd time I clicked the link, it opened in the google app. Now I'm very confused. Is there any chance this is a chrome update issue?

When in Chome, if I google search for a product and select an Amazon link (probably others too, but since Amazon owns all product links these days...) the Google app pops up instead of a new tab. As an example, "f female to ts9 male" generates many amazon items. Clicking on any of them seems...

Google app auto updated a few days ago to 10.73.7.21.arm and I've noticed that now if I select some links in chrome they open in the google app instead of a new chrome tab. I believe they may be primarily ones that are linked through the google advertising redirect but not positive. Is there a...

I was told by AT&T store I need to change my background. Not cool, but I guess an option.

I just upgraded my phone to an A10e running stock 9/Pie. The lock screen image I use has white background in the top 1/3 and the notification icons are all white making them almost invisible. I changed the clock/date text to black but how do I change the icon color to anything other than stock...

I dropped my phone and the screen shattered and fell off. I assumed it was dead, but when I replaced the battery and held the power button, it came to life!? I have my wife's old GS5 that I'd like to restore mine to. Anyone have a link or guide that I could follow that doesn't require changing...

My main concern isn't accidentally answering so long as the contact exists. My concern is butt dialing or voice commanded dialing the wrong contact. Yes I can hang up, but then that person may call back creating an awkward situation. Blocking on my end is easy (just have to enable in the 3...

I have old comtacts for people that I would like to know if they call me (they won't), but definitely don't want to call them. If I delete them from my contacts, I know it would be a solution, but I still want to know who it is so I don't accept the urge to answer an unknown but familiar...
