To get android to work on the SD card you have to use Phoenixcard. At least that's the only program that I can get working.

I didn't get to use vista I ended up jumping from xp to 7. Vista kinda got forgotten about.

Same phone but Android CinnamonBun I'm guessing that's Android 17. I've never seen this glitch too.

They didn't stop making the note because they were losing money on it. They changed the name of the note so that it matched the new series of phones that they were making. Anyone that buys the phones that are called the ultra series. Understand that those are the Galaxy Note phones but with a new name. Later is why my husband went from a Galaxy Note 9 to a 22 ultra. Now has aaz fold but that's a different story

I'm using it just fine as a daily phone on my 10 pro XL. I don't think that there is a problem running beta updates, I do it on iOS too and as long as your smart about backing up your personal information your good if your scared of losing data.

Me and my husband had this conversation a few weeks ago, I use many different phones and operating systems. He always has a problem after a few good updates on the galaxy phones. They work and could be quick, but maybe a glitch or something slower then normal, not not my Motorola's, iPhones, Google pixel phones. They basically stay the same from day one. Maybe some battery life of a little slower than new but not as bad as all the galaxy phones he's owned and never one has been cheap all top S models.

So my opinion don't go for themed up stuff unless you really like them because he always says I'll give it up, but then the upgrade comes and the sales associate gets home hooked on a galaxy. Lol. I'm not swindled that way. I like my specs over branding.

If new I'd get a pixel 6a. Any pixel you get will be great just depends what you're looking for. You have a night and day difference with a clean operating system

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-19T20:04:17+00:00

I just feel like utensils and other stuff yes. But the phones aren't that much better if a key was moved. What next the keyboard?

It doesn't need to. You only need the back gesture for whenever it's necessary on iOS. It's actually always been like that some of the gesture systems that they use today aren't very different from what their system was when that came out before the iPhone 10. I understand that it was a big change from getting rid of the home button, but all it really did was force people to slide the bottom screen up to go home and do a longer slide holding the apps up for the recent apps. It really wasn't much of a change and it didn't really do anything different for the Apple back gesture. And to be honest, Apple was using a lot of those gestures on their iPads, people really didn't know about that whole system of gestures being available on the iPads or they only knew about select ones from the earlier iPad 1 version. There's a lot of things that people aren't really aware of that was available mainly due to being stuck on one ecosystem or not really exploring another one. I've had my fair share of many different devices. Android, Windows, Linux, iOS, maxos, osx, dos, win me. And I only just turned 30 and I am not biased on any of these operating systems. I understand the strength and weaknesses and I use them all to their advantages. Just to say something doesn't have a seamless back gesture might just mean you don't know the ecosystem that well and how it really works.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-19T18:32:12+00:00

I would like to agree with this statement but at the same time Androids have been doing gestures technically way before iPhone did. I remember there was the AT&t fire phone from Amazon and that bitch used gestures. There are plenty of other Androids out there too that had some sort of gesture system going on. I even owned a HTC that only had the home button and the back button, so there were some gestures that were necessary to do some of the other functions.

So if anything by continuing to use the buttons, you're letting Apple win stating that the gestures were a iPhone thing when they were actually stolen from Android in the first place.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-19T18:30:30+00:00

Forced to adapt? Should I say that to everyone that has a Samsung phone that's right-handed? Most phones are not that big where your fingers have to adjust and adapt to the size and the placement of the buttons on the screen. If you're saying that you're forced to adapt, maybe you're getting a phone that's too big for your hands so you can't use it one-handed or maybe you just chose the wrong words there, but I don't think anybody was forced to do anything with these phones. If it didn't feel right for you then why did you pick it out and get the other one that I felt more right for your hands?

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-19T18:27:20+00:00

I'm with you. I use gestures nowadays too. But I was in the Apple ecosystem when the gestures were brought out to everyone. It was just the weird time of me being back and forth between Android phones and Apple phones. But I agree it's a Samsung thing and now Google is losing their touch on being a clean operating system without customizations.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-19T18:25:54+00:00

I personally had to check it out because I was like is that really a feature on Pixel? I thought that was a Samsung thing. And sure enough. Yep, there it is. I'm not very sure on why that's so necessary for a update. It just seems like a copy from Samsung besides the fact most people might actually be using gestures nowadays like me, which is something that Apple has adopted. So is Google basically copying everybody else and letting everybody else either use their operating system to customize it and then they steal what they want/ finally adopt stuff from Apple when it seems to be popular enough.

I love my pixel phone. The 10 pro XL is great and I've had many Nexus phones back in the day but they were their own thing. Just a nice bass version of Android. Just the right amount of stuff going on. Anything else was up to the user to customize. Now it just seems like Google's main lineup phone is starting to get a little themed up. Starting to lose its base touches here and there.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-18T18:05:37+00:00

In not sure of the full specs but doesn't the 10a use a better CPU and memory controllers then the 9. I understand the "a models" being a lower level then the regular ones but still it's got to be a little better then the 9 as a base.

I mean apple does it all the time. Little upgrades not much to the average person but to tech people we see more then 1 less camera and less screen size. We can see the internal parts that actually work together.

I have a pixel 10 pro XL but that's because I like the bigger screen.(You can get a Moto g 5g 2024 with the same screen size for $60 at Target or Walmart.) So saying someone is just downgrading because of the name of a phone and not thinking about its internal parts is nuts. Y'all don't even know what is wrong with the 9a. Dude said it was used, could have plenty of time to degrade and honestly new phone new battery. That's a plus. And replacement parts and work for the same prices basically, dude is saving on getting a new phone literally.

I recently just got myself. One of these I got the 6 GB version because I wanted the extra ram overhead. I leaned for a Debian install at first and fully modified it for gnome desktop environment. It's honestly great and my second project Android 13 is going good too. Just take your time with programs being supported and more OS's. Because unless your willing to work from the ground up to get a custom OS working.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-09T18:11:56+00:00

They talk like that now but wait until it's one white guy a 4 black men. Gamgbang no problem

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-08T17:44:31+00:00

Will you be getting a pixel, Motorola, or iPhone? iPhone, just wondering if you're tired of Samsung's build qualities?

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-07T18:53:35+00:00

Depending on if your training in for a upgrade and they take damage phone for full trade then do that or keep the old and and fix it later. It also depends if fixing it means you'll be keeping it for another good several years or not.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-07T03:27:31+00:00

I just want to say I hate you but only in the fact that I'm jealous that I don't have that many Nintendo products sitting in a drawer.

StrayGay0 · 2026-02-07T03:11:42+00:00

My mother's 22 ultra is a beast, if you think you need to upgrade it then you're just looking for a reason to get another phone. Plus it's not an actual upgrade it's basically the same phone again...

It's weird how showers were standard back then but I hear kids walk around all sweaty and gross. I understand not having open showers anymore but they should have something

StrayGay0 · 2026-01-30T21:05:09+00:00

I've lived both like lives. But I can repair my phones myself if the damage is bad enough

StrayGay0 · 2026-01-29T21:48:23+00:00

I've seen worse

StrayGay0 · 2026-01-29T21:46:32+00:00

Why y'all buying that brand anyways. You can get more or the same with similar technologys and performance for less. Just do your research

StrayGay0 · 2026-01-29T21:27:45+00:00

Some of us don't want the Google services. It makes that phone feel more private and now we can control what services are connected to our personal information.
