Oops, sorry about that.

We're a small startup trying to solve the problem of slow phones. Our app streams the video output from an android emulator running on a server/supercomputer to your phone. It'll be like having a second virtual phone, but way faster. Here's a demo of our prototype: https://youtu.be/mdzyYcQ7h88...

Why do you think I'm asking? You completely missed my point: EVERY new technology needs a group of early adopters who are willing to pay extra and put up with it's lack of maturity/polish. Ie. Electric cars with the tesla roadster, Blockchain with Bitcoin, Personal Computing with the Apple I...

Wow that is some BS. where are you located and who is your carrier?

That's true, but the car was more expensive than a horse at first. The cost of phones were rising before 5G. A 5G RF chip really doesn't add much to the BOM of a phone, maybe $20 max. The manufacturers know that people are willing to pay for more features and gimmicks. I actually think it's a...

What makes RoboForm better than lastpass? Looks like their using the same encryption procedures as everyone else. I think the reason why Lastpass has had more vulnerabilities than other is because more people use them. If no one uses Roboform, then there is no incentive to break into their...

Samsung used to be really good about this. Their phones used to have hot-swappable batteries! I suspect they do something on the software side too: now even with a new battery from amazon, my note 4 is dead after just a couple hours of usage. Lets be real: if the batteries didn't die and were...

People are so quick to dismiss new tech because they can only see it from the lens of the present and not the future. They don't see how it opens up doors to new possibilities: higher data caps, faster speeds, lower latency blurs the lines between hardware and software. With unlimited data and...

Most of the people I know with the new iPhone or Samsung flagships just use them to watch videos and browse facebook. They have no clue how to use the new camera features/other gimmicks. For the price of a flagship, you can now buy a decent gaming PC, or a mid-tier phone and a gaming console...

I upgraded to an iPhone X from a Samsung Note 4. The phone was slow and the battery stopped holding a charge, and even new replacement batteries didn't last longer than a couple months. Currently, I'm looking at coming back to Android, waiting for the Note 21 to launch.

What kind of phone do you have?

Thank you for the help and quick response!

Hello, I'm trying to find users to talk to about my app which is made to speed up slow phones. What are the rules on the forum about self promotion? I'm not trying to sell anything, but just to talk to some people with slow phones and find some early testers. I couldn't find any rules on the...

Hey, I'm new to the forum so not sure what the rules are about self promotion. I'm working on an app to speed up older phones by connecting them to an android emulator hosted on a cloud server. A server obviously has much more computing power than any smartphone, so the speed differences should...
