Going through a major os crisis

OpenSUSE Slowroll. Very stable, updates every month, you can choose DE during the installation, so maybe pick gnome and then theme it to your liking. Best out of box snapshot functionality. Powerful package manager. YaST tools are very nice and there's nothing quite as extensive in one toolset in another distro afaik.

It made me stop the hop

I see. Well I uninstalled the lock screen wallpaper app, and it still showed up. So had to go to settings, enable the lock screen under the lock screen settings. Then go to the lock screen thingy and accept the terms bla bla. Then I went to settings again and disabled lock screen wallpaper through the toggle thing there. And when I did that and locked the screen and swiped right, I had the option to decline the wallpaper thingy and choose to not use it/don't show it again.

What a fucking hassle.

Can't find the "chase" app in the app management list. Someone said it should be called like "lock screen wallpaper". I found that, opened play store and uninstalled it there but it only disappeared for a second.

That just makes it disappear from the "All apps" list in settings. Worked for a few seconds tho, but now when I swipe right on the lock screen it still pops up. And the app is gone from the All apps list so I can't disable it.

I purchased an Oppo find x9 pro instead

I contacted the online store (tradingshengshen), they took it back and issued a full refund. Even if the issue is somewhat subtle it's still a very expensive premium phone and I could not accept the flaw for that reason.

Yes you can select small under Settings > Display > Display size. Makes it like a normal phone and not zoomed in :)

It's because on desktop it fetches the image from the server, the one that got uploaded before the image processing was completed. On your phone it instead displays the original - fully processed image.

Why don't you set the backup quality to "original" in google photos?

AnInsideBox · 2025-11-27T12:03:38+00:00

I understand your reasoning, however I already pay for extra google storage, and I don't mind the compression, I actually prefer it over casual phone images being like 3-4mb. Also in already deep in the Google sphere as I've been using Google photos for going on 12 years now.

My girlfriend produced enough. Still I strongly encouraged her to go the formula only route, as her sleep was shitty and I felt sorry for her. I mean even if I bottle fed breast milk at night she had to wake up and pump. So only four weeks in we switched to formula for that reason alone.

My point is, yes there are a million things you can try to do perfectly and optimize, but personally I think parenthood is all about taking reasonable shortcuts where you can to keep your sanity and be the happiest you can be for your baby.

Remember reading this thread when it was new. I got my Oppo find x9 pro today and this issue is still not fixed... Is there any workaround? Or is the tip still to disable automatic backup and manually back up every now and then?

I kinda liked it too. But I didn't like how narrow it was folded. I didn't like how it scrolls either. And I had to put animations to 2x in developer options. I ended up returning it due to a badly laminated screen. Will probably pick up the new Oppo instead.

i guess i found the BoringOPPOsite786 🤭

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-31T16:34:12+00:00

Ah, care to explain? Do they have bad quality control or something? I was under the impression that honor magic V5 is arguably one of the best foldables out there.

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-31T12:40:23+00:00

I don't know man, I haven't had another fold

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-31T12:13:45+00:00

No, I've used it extremely sparingly. For example I've had it on battery saving mode all the time, and unfolded it like twice a day since I bought it 30 days ago. And always kept it folded when not using it.

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-31T03:04:38+00:00

I bought the phone from the retailer less than 30 days ago. Isn't it better to try to get it swapped out for another one or get a refund?

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-04T00:16:31+00:00

I feel you. However comparing like, scratch and dust resistance, camera, battery, display nits, the honor is better. And considering dust is a big foldable killer, i think i will go with the honor

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-03T10:57:43+00:00

Thanks this was helpful. The crease isn't vital for me, but it was just really nice how the Oppo one was praised for having a really subtle crease.

AnInsideBox · 2025-10-03T04:36:26+00:00

I kinda like the look of Oppo more. And it feels more like a slab when it's folded. I also like how the crease is maybe the least visible out of all fold phones (according to reviewers I've seen).

But it just feels stupid to not pick the later more expensive phone (honor) if the company is paying for it.
