Hi, thanks for the question but no, I usually keep it on overnight (mostly in flight mode).

I have a Huawei P20 running Android/EMUI v10, and have it scheduled to enter Do Not Disturb mode each night (and I also sometimes enable it manually as required). I have found that certain apps are able to override this setting and play notifications anyway, which is very frustrating for obvious...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I've just discovered that KeepassXC (forked from Keepass) has its own native browser extension, so I'm trying that out to see if that plus Keepass2Android on mobile might be a satisfactory compromise, before committing to a paid product or going down the 'full...

I hadn't really considered Roboform thus far, but it sounds like it's worth me having a look - thank you for the suggestion.

I am a long-standing KeePass user, but I find its browser integration and Android apps a bit ropey, and certainly harder work than a cloud-based solution such as Lastpass or Bitwarden. I have been trying both of those, and they are so much more convenient, but I do worry about how vulnerable...

Thanks. There was an issue on the S5e following Android 10 upgrade where the WiFi kept turning off when the screen was off. That now seems to have been resolved by a recent software update. I'm aware of the antenna problem relating to the way the device is held (i.e. don't block lower-left...

Here's a strange thing. On my S5e, if I go to the Wi-Fi connections menu right now, I'm seeing just one SSID, which is my own 2.4GHz signal. My 5GHz is missing, and all the nearby neighbours' networks are missing too. Some pertinent facts: There's only about 6 metres and one hollow stud wall...

Thanks, I'll have a look through those suggestions.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e a couple of months ago, and although it's an impressive device in may ways, I'm having some pretty bad connectivity issues with it. Firstly, it struggles to hold onto my home WiFi signal. My house is a 'new build', i.e. fairly lightweight construction with no...

I spoke to Samsung support about the colour / white balance issue, and they said it is just a feature of this type of screen (the guy had a similar phenomenon on his phone... I noticed a slight rainbow effect at one angle and he said he had it too, a bit like an oil slick effect). I mentioned...

Thanks Mooncatt, that does tend to suggest it might be an AMOLED quirk then. The other thing I noticed last night was that in night mode, the top half of the screen is brigher than the bottom half, on what should seemingly be uniformly-coloured dark panels (presumably dark grey rather than...

Having just got my Tab S5e, I can see why people are full of praise for its AMOLED screen, which is bright, sharp and colourful. However, I have a couple of concerns. My main concern relates to the screen hue & white balance. Having recently tried a Tab A 10.1 (2019), I noticed a major...
