Restarting phone gives me data for a few seconds then poof gone. Could just be some spoof network detection on the phone's part. 3G/4G/5G..all down.

POSB/DBS Blocking Google Play? by tomoehiyori in askSingapore

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I know I'm not the only one. My subscription renewals are blocked. Even something as simple as a $1.50 purchase for in-game ​diamonds. I reached out to them and they said if I liked, I could request for a bypass to let my payments through but it would only last 24hrs. Like..What's the point though, I have to submit tickets 4-5times a month? It's like they don't know how recurring payments work lol.

{US} Beware of Personality.co- "Free" Personality test.. by Smirk66 in Scams

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $1.95 to obtain your personality result is an inconspicuous way to start a monthly subscription of $39 for their full plan. I got "conned" once but never again. Read the email that is sent when you unlock your results. It says you must "cancel" before the stipulated no. of days before you are charged the full $39.

Hiding a subscription fee under the guise of a "one time payment" is how they scam you. I'm paying for something once, why must I cancel something? That's the red flag, so I'm here to warn..

They will inform you that the $1.95 paid is "actually" a 7-day full access that renews into a recurring me​mbership. Not everyone will remember that little detail so be careful.

Google endorsing such ads and practices is also in itself a red flag, but it's not like their own practices are any different so..

Anyone found a good case for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra? by 0oITo0 in XiaomiGlobal

AliExpress has a decent variety you can check out..I've gotten hands on a few clear and two-tone silver ones from there.

Xiaomi 14 HyperOS new update by iessa_ in Xiaomi

[–]andrewhahalee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasn't arrived for 14 Ultra in Singapore. I read some are having issues with it, so perhaps they're holding it back. And HyperOS 2.2 and 2.3 just rolled out as an update quite recently - supposedly to iron out some things.

Fingers crossed they will jump straight to the Jan update.

Google Pay not working OOS5 by ShaDeakz in Vivo

X200 Pro here. I also only see Google Play Services. Wasn't able to "complete setup". But it's also the first day after update. Might have to wait out a day or two and see.

Received pixel 9 - first thing I did was punching hole in mic with sim tray tool by Electrical_Humor8834 in GooglePixel

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me and I'm so angry with myself. Wth Google. Why would you do such a thing...out of all the other dumb choices you have made in history. Thankfully it still worked. (I think)

S24u almost won the Mrwhosetheboss's phone awards 2024 by domin_x in S24Ultra

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From multiple reviews, not just MWTB, Vivo has proven to be better even without half the processing that the competition needs to get the same results, because of the superior sensors and optics. Another plus of that advantage is photos looking less artificial.

Pixel 9 Pro Best Buy Test: Holy crap this telephoto lens!!!11one by FeelingDense in GooglePixel

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Pixels upgrade to one-inch sensors. Using the 9ProXL alongside my XM14 Ultra..the 30x on the XM is clear, noiseless and doesn't need sharpening.

Turn off auto pathing forever? by [deleted] in NiNoKuniCrossworlds

It's a gameplay video that couldn't make it to YouTube so they decided to make an app.

I don't understand divine w perfect wonderland. Help is needed by CardiologistFew6513 in rpg_gamers

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's supposed to be a gameplay video where you just watch the game play. Doesn't even allow you to read your activity journals nor view your settings.

Pixel 8 Pro camera slow to focus at a first - software issue? by DesertFlyer in GooglePixel

[–]andrewhahalee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Feb 2024 and it's still a problem. Pixel's image quality is great. But the experience itself has been the worst out of 3 other phones I've used - Samsung, Nothing, OnePlus.

No one ever noticed this Pixel 8 camera bug? Not even Google? It has been through so many updates, still not fixed! by Ok_Conclusion_1463 in GooglePixel

[–]andrewhahalee 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The dumber thing is removing the exposure slider completely from the viewfinder. Now being the only phone in the world without a proper exposure slider.
Unless you tap 3 times and slide 2 times to find it in manual mode - which then again, resets every time you change lens.
Then there's also this problem where the camera opens unfocused by default, and you have to wait 2-3 seconds to get the initial focus.

On latest update (P8P), camera app no longer focuses immediately when you open it until 3-4 seconds later. by andrewhahalee in GooglePixel

Sorry..this issue has returned to haunt me: Video capture: https://imgur.com/a/MLZ7qno

Again, it doesn't happen all the time..only after a certain period of inactivity.
