  • FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phones

    Jump

  • I would generally agree with you, but in this case, Verizon has already been subject to such a rule for over a decade as a condition of the 700MHz spectrum. Verizon does offer subsidized/financed devices like the other carriers, it just doesn't SIM lock them beyond the initial period.

    Given this data point, I think it's a good idea to expand to the other carriers.

  • I have a Galaxy S24 with the gesture bar hidden. It lets me do circle to search by holding down where the gesture bar would be.

  • CES 2024 | Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid sticks Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered tablet on top of an Intel Meteor Lake laptop

    Jump

  • I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!

  • Mishaal Rahman: Here's how Google (actually) addressed the spike in false 911 calls placed by Android phones

    Jump

  • Yup. It could also be hardware failure in the sense of a flakey power button. Either way, it's probably not people intentionally pushing the power button a lot

  • What is favourite File manager app and why ?

    Jump

  • While not great as a general file manager, I use this app to launch into the hidden, built in file manager in Android. The major benefit is that it can access apps' data directories. Every other file manager is blocked from that (at least without root).

  • GNOME 45 formalizes extensions module system

    Jump

  • Hmmm, sounds like all extensions will need to adopt the module system. I guess I'll be careful about making sure my extensions are updated before updating to Gnome 45

    The Switch From CCS1 To Tesla's NACS Connector Is Expected To Kill The J1772 AC Plug

  • Pixel 4a (not 5G) owners, what do you plan to do with your phone now that it reached its final Android update?

    Jump

  • I'll probably hang tight until Pixel 8 comes out.

  • Android Auto seems to be having connection issues with Pixel devices lately for some

    Jump

  • I just had this issue yesterday with my Pixel 4a. I tired rebooting the car and phone without success. Luckily my wife plugged in her Pixel 5 and that worked.

    Previous to yesterday, it's been solid.

    What is WebRTC? Why does it need ‘Signalling’?

    Jump

  • Interesting, but I'm missing the GNOME connection I think?

  • Problem with the forward facing camera on Pixel 4a not focusing

    Jump

  • Sorry to hear! I assume you're talking about the camera on the rear of the phone? That does have focus, not sure why it's not focusing for you. If shaking it a bit doesn't help or cleaning it off, not sure what else can be done.

    As another poster said, the camera on the front of the phone doesn't focus, it's fixed.

    Don't expect a Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

  • Oh, I had missed that. That's great!

    Don't expect a Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

    Jump

  • I assume you mean S24 (because we already have Snapdragon S23 in the US). My concern, admittedly not something I've done a lot of research on, is that if Samsung was using Snapdragon for the CDMA or 2G/3G modem, that might no longer be a concern with the networks aggressively shutting down those older technologies. I'm not sure if that was the only thing holding Samsung back from Exynos SoC in the US, or if overall performance or other concerns were factors. However the prevalence of Exynos in the EU shows that Samsung considers it worthy of the Galaxy brand.

  • Hoping for snapdragon s24, at least in the US!

  • How to oil these door hinges?

    Jump

  • Nope, I started to look as disassembling, but as another commented said, these are pretty different. That pin it turns out goes all the way through, and the holes on the bottom let me poke all the way through. That means the inside is hollow! Looks like I'll avoid disassembling

  • How to oil these door hinges?

    Jump

  • Thanks! I found some old "Liquid Wrench Powerful Penetrating Oil" in the toolbox. Looks like it has a spray nozzle. Do you think that would be good? I don't mind buying a new oil, or even using something from the kitchen (coconut?) as long as it's a good solution.

    Thanks again!

  • Improving USB tethering speed?

    Jump

  • Who's your ISP? I'd suspect it's the ISP treating tethering traffic differently. I notice that on my phone (AT&T postpaid), my phone and tethered computer even get different IPv4 addresses. I'm not saying performance should be identical if they are sharing an IPv4 address, moreso just showing that ISPs can handle tethering traffic differently.

    EDIT: just saw you're on Orange, oops! I don't know how they operate, they could be handling tethering traffic differently from native mobile.

  • Best EV's for someone on a budget

    Jump

  • We have a LEAF, and yeah, if you want a car that can do road trips, this isn't it. We use it exclusively for driving around town (take kids to school, groceries, library, etc) and for that it works really well.

    At the time we bought (2013) pickings we're pretty slim. I know there are a bunch more versatile options now. But at the time, we knew it wasn't for big distances so we didn't even spring for the Chademo option, heh.

    But that said, you definitely can charge at home a lot faster than L1. We have L2 at 6.6kW (240V), so it would fully charge in about four hours. Those of us with EVs also know that it's pretty rare to be at 0% and need to get to 100% quickly.

    Glad to see options increasing and more folks going electric!
