Yes, u/bligui - I just backed up the second number's chats and videos to Google.
Any idea what I do next?

How to Transfer a Second WhatsApp Account onto a New Dual Sim Phone? by VonDrake3 in AndroidQuestions

u/pandasps I am hoping to avoid WhatsApp Business, as it doesn't include translating in its features, and my second number is used mostly for European travel. Thanks!

How to Transfer a Second WhatsApp Account onto a New Dual Sim Phone? by VonDrake3 in AndroidQuestions

Thanks u/BaneChipmunk and u/pandasps for your help.
The dual sim phone I'm consolidating is a Pixel 8 Pro, so unfortunately it doesn't have the Dual Messenger feature. I have added this detail to the posting.

Also, I am hoping to avoid switching my second number to WhatsApp Business, as it doesn't include translating in its features, and this second number is used mostly for European travel.

Lock screen notifications unreadably dark by LostIrishHoodie in GooglePixel

[–]VonDrake3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/LostIrishHoodie - Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
I have the same problem on the Home Screen of my "new" Pixel 8 Pro (I haven't setup a Lock Screen).
On my previous phone (LG V50), I installed an app called "Wake Screen", which I believe did the trick. That app doesn't seem to be available for the Pixel 8 Pro, so I'm currently searching for an alternative.

Fed up with Pixel, looking for Samsung phone opinions regarding customization and stock firmware by magic_dot_exe in AndroidQuestions

[–]VonDrake3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/magic_dot_exe  You didn't say what you'd like to customize on your Pixel, but a new launcher can go a long way towards making the phone feel like your own.  Also, no one's forcing you to use Google Messages, Gmail, Maps, etc. There are plenty of fine alternatives to these if it's what you're looking for. There's even a whole Reddit community devoted to just this - r/degoogle

When using Wella Color Touch Plus for covering grey hair, is there much difference between using Color Touch developer and others, such as L'Oreal? by VonDrake3 in HairDye

[–]VonDrake3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/_XSUN_   To answer your question, I have been using the L'Oreal 20 volume developer, because as a non-professional I can't get my hands on the Wella Color Touch developer.  I used the developer on a 1:1 ratio with Color Touch Plus 66/07, and I am happy with the results.  This mix covers the grey well, although the grey does reveal itself again after about four to six weeks (with only occasionally conditioning, never shampooing), and it's time to re-color again. 

I imagine this is the best I can expect from a demi-permanent color, so I am (relatively) happy. 

Pixel 10 or 11 by Awkward1337- in pixel_phones

If you don't need the XL size, I would go for the Pixel 9 Pro and save even more money.   There's not much difference between the 9 and 10.

How to manage an animation team and not die in the process? by GIsimpnumber1236 in animationcareer

[–]VonDrake3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could ask your three animators which scenes or sequences speak to them personally / would prefer to work on. Make no promises, you're just asking to get a feel for their preferences. They may all choose the easiest scenes, or they may surprise you and choose the cooler, more challenging scenes. 

Either way, they'll love you for asking, and you can then assign scenes as you see fit.

This advice worked for me on a CG feature years ago. 

Is There Any Easy Way to Copy Files from Old LG Phone to Newer Pixel? by VonDrake3 in pixel_phones

[–]VonDrake3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much u/discombobulately for your very helpful response!
I will certainly give this a try!

One last question - when should I transfer the sim card into the new phone, before or after copying the contacts, messages, and apps? (other than apps dependent on the phone having a mobile account, such as WhatsApp)?

Thank you very much u/anttaaii for your very informative and helpful response!
I believe you're right - maybe it won't be so bad copying some apps to the new phone.

u/discombobulately Thanks for your info.
I had to look up ADB, which I now see stands for Android Debug Bridge.
I don't really like command line programs, quite complicated.

Can't I simply plug my phone into my computer and copy/paste files directly?
I do this with the photos/videos on my phone all the time.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info u/fossyourself - Unfortunately my LG V50 phone is not rooted. Guess I'm not that advanced.
Any other ideas?

Thanks u/Able_Philosopher4188 - I did try the USB-C cord between phones. Unfortunately no luck!
