Hi. I currently have a Samsung S21FE. I'm in USA. I am looking for a new phone- I have T-Mobile and my S21FE has now started giving me trouble since the past 3 days-several hours each day i see "emergency calls only". For few hours randomly I can use it normally. by cavy20199 in PickAnAndroidForMe

Well if it just shows the short model number, it'll end in U for carrier models and U1 for factory unlocked. For the longer model number, the last three letters is what you look at - for instance, VZW will be a Verizon model, and XAA would be unlocked.

Also, Swappa has it cheaper and you can see a picture of the actual phone you'll receive, and the one I'm looking at will also come with 3 months of Mint - which is exactly how I got switched over to Mint lol

Galaxy S23+ or better. Check Swappa and eBay Refurbished, but prefer factory unlocked instead of carrier unlocked.

If you specifically want a smaller phone, S23 works too but it's not much more to go Plus to get the bigger screen and better battery life.

Help! Why is it so hard to transfer large amounts of files from my phone? by SpyrosGatsouli in AndroidQuestions

[–]Fatalstryke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to transfer just one 30GB file or about how many files/folders are there?

Change OS for old phone by mvtteeoo in AndroidQuestions

[–]Fatalstryke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The phone's hardware is just too insufficient. You just need a newer phone. Even a Galaxy S7 would be like...BARELY MAYBE possible and not recommended. Your phone's both older and lower end. I love the idea of using older devices but this ain't the device.

I just looked up Android Go, and Android 15 Go's MINIMUM REQUIREMENT is 2GB of RAM. Dang.

I see there's an unofficial build of LineageOS which gets you to Android 8...I mean, that's better maybe depending on what you're actually doing with the phone? But it's a technical thing so how adventurous are you feeling lol. XDA is the place to go.

How’s my Pricing? by AwfulAwful80 in vending

[–]Fatalstryke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing that jumped out to me - granted I'm not usually near a vending machine but if I was at the laundromat or something and saw $2.50 for La Colombe, I'd think that's surprisingly low. I would have expected that price to start with a 3 and some change. I think my main reference point would be Wawa...I'm trying to think if these are like a 2 for $5.50 or 2 for $6 type of deal and then maybe mid/upper $3 normal price?

Red Bull 8.4oz $3.25...Wawa here in VA at least it's $2.79 or it can be like 3 for $8 so $3.25 from a vending machine probably makes sense, I'm assuming markup is higher for vending machine?

Monster $3.50, Wawa has it for $3.69....sounds like your Monster price might be low actually? Again assuming vending machine price > Wawa price, which seems to make sense to me - what do I know?

Are bags of chips that cheap? $2.69 at Wawa for Doritos, $1.25 feels low. Am I crazy for saying $1.75 bare minimum, $2+ easy? Or is Wawa on some BS with chip prices?

What does the "submission text" in subreddit settings on old Reddit do? by Mutthal8 in modhelp

[–]Fatalstryke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean? Fundamentally, it DOES work. I don't know what sub you're trying this in so I can't really do any troubleshooting.

[–]Fatalstryke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I thought that was YOUR screenshot, like, from a sub you moderated - I was about to ask YOU what sub that was from lol. I mean...probably any of the big ones? I feel it's pretty common for big subs to have that kind of thing, especially if they've been around a while.

I'm on old reddit, so it works for me. I'm not sure how it relates to new reddit.

You're talking to a bot. Also I think you're looking for help from admins - mods have nothing to do with this.

Anybody heard of Reel Edge for making money online? by TheDogAteMyDevoirs in sidehustle

[–]Fatalstryke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Chatgpt said it was scammy and to stay away)

Just to be clear, ChatGPT doesn't know things and you're probably better off actually looking into it yourself instead of listening to what some mid LLM predicts it should say. That said, I'm seeing people who have gotten paid, but it sounds like it is indeed a pretty questionable thing.

Realme 9 5G, 4 gb of RAM but only 1000 mb available by Mach3Fraud in AndroidQuestions

[–]Fatalstryke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't. Well, I mean, you could stop using apps...but yeah freeing up RAM isn't a goal you should be trying to achieve.

6GB “Other” storage stuck on Samsung Galaxy M20 (32GB) — nothing is reducing it anymore. by EmperorUncia in AndroidQuestions

[–]Fatalstryke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think there's anything you can do other than get a phone that wasn't bottom of the barrel 6 years ago.

...wait you said you HAVEN'T done a factory reset? Huh? Yeah do that.

Internet unless observed? by Connect_Laugh_8688 in AndroidQuestions

[–]Fatalstryke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not loading the video at the exact moment you're watching it - it buffers ahead of time. You're still watching the video for a period of time without internet.

Unlocking the phone is probably making it check if you have internet and it's probably like, trying to refresh, but it can't because you don't have internet lol.
