You're right, I don't have that many apps on the phone, only the ones I really need on a daily basis, plus I'm not a gamer, so no problems there either. All in all, I'm rather satisfied with it, on the hardware front anyway. I've already said all the bad things I had to say about Android, so I...

I actually flashed a new ROM I downloaded from Needrom (here is the latest; you must be logged in to download, but creating a new account is free and quick: https://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-t5c/), because, like you, I was told that I had "the latest build already installed", or some such...

Are you sure there IS a compass on your phone (i.e., is there a magnetic sensor on it)? For example, on my Leagoo T5c, there's no magnetic sensor, so no compass either.

Maybe the new ROM has issues with your compass sensors. Have you tried installing a third-party compass app from the Play Store?

I use Do Not Disturb (no calls allowed, from anyone), coupled with an email alert from my mobile carrier (French-based Free Mobile; ain't really free, mind you...) when someone left me a message, which those phone-spamming firms almost never do. (And when they do, it's just silence for about...

What exactly is troubling you in this string? It simply looks like a regular User Agent for a Desktop browser, based on Webkit, compatible with Gecko (Firefox's rendering engine until recently). Am I missing something here?

I might do that, it'd be like visiting old college pals who stayed on campus after I left... :-D All jokes aside, the learning curve in Android IS steeper than I thought, but without the benefit of rooting my phone (which, at the moment, seems impossible), I'm stuck with what Android has to...

Wow... I used to have Nova on my phone, and I never noticed that. Is that a feature on the free version, or do you have to upgrade to a paid version ? EDIT: is there a noticeable impact on battery life, with this feature enabled and without?

I'm pretty sure we're not talking about the same thing here: to unlock your screen using "OK Google" AFTER you've woken it up using, say, the Home button, is what "OK Google" is about. Waking the screen up AND unlocking it using your voice, whether via "OK Google" or "Hey, punkin!" is...

On a non-rooted phone, you can actually wake your screen and unlock it with Nova Launcher?

I replied to the OP in the Marshmallow forum about this, but I'll elaborate: for the user to be able to wake the screen and/or unlock it using his/her voice or whispering into the phone microphone (as does the BlowToUnlock tweak on a jailbroken iPhone), there has to be a service running in the...

The fact that your phone is in a bootloop shouldn't preclude it from booting in recovery mode, provided you know which controls to press, and you keep them pressed down long enough. A bootloop is essentially the phone going through its booting process over and over again, which means that at...

There's that too, yeah... Or just a prank from a "friend"...?

"Nougat" is Google's nickname for Android 7.x, the version that came after Android 6.0 "Marshmallow", which, apparently, still equips your Samsung. I'm surprised you haven't been prompted to upgrade your version of Android to "Nougat" yet. I thought the S7 came with it out of the box, but I...

On jailbroken iPhones, you can do it by installing a tweak called BlowToUnlock, which, as its name indicates, allows you to wake up your phone (not unlock it, though, if you have set it to require a passphrase or fingerprint to be unlocked) by blowing air into the primary microphone. I once...
