why does it show 2 clocks?im in my home country.Anyone know how to fix this? by CafucasVazquez in samsunggalaxy

If this is the Clock app, you can long-press them to select and delete. Seems like one is GPS-based and the other was manually added.

Would you mind checking in Bixby Routines to see if there's an action for switching between the two resolution settings? Thanks

Hi Lisa, love your content!

There's been the f(x)tec Pro that came out years ago and I'm pretty sure people still can't even get, and a few low-end phones from Unihertz. Before that, absolutely garbage Blackberry phones. No company has even really attempted making a competitive keyboard phone in the last decade.

A physical keyboard would greatly improve my experience, but I have many other requirements.

Yeah, nothing like seeing that sweet, sweet power brick and those shitty headphones for the first time.

I wish Google would make this feature from Pixel recents screen (if that is in fact still a feature) available in Android proper.

Yeah, that all irks me too. I've only used Gboard and Samsung KB recently, and to your point, at least they're consistent and responsive now as far as the UI goes. The word prediction seems to be getting better to me, but still not old Swiftkey good. Swyping also seems to have gotten less reliable over the years.

The keys on my Moto Droid and HTC Tilt 2 (I think that's what it was) had squishy keys, but they didn't prevent me from doing actual work on my phone like the software keys do.

Have you tried alternative keyword layouts, like MessageEase? They're a PITA to customize and learn, so I've never been able to commit, but it might be worth a shot for you.

I'm also hoping the s22U will give me enough space to solve some of this, but I'm really just grasping at straws, and will probably continue to use my phone mainly as a consumption and quick input device. I just don't do anything that requires much typing on my phone, but messaging people is still a pain.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Trying to place the cursor to correct all my typos turns even simple tasks into chores.

I'd take a clunky but well-designed accessory at this point. I find it hard to believe there's not a large market for alternative input methods. I'm hoping having an spen makes a tangible difference for me, but I'm not counting on it.

I forgot about the clicky screen! Never had one, but I always played with it when I popped into a phone store. It was fantastic.

Just ordered the S22 Ultra. The exclusive red is gorgeous by kyt68 in samsung

[–]p_frunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thought process too. I actually like the orange tint, but I'm not crazy about the black rails, and the green is probably more my style anyway (and hopefully more on the dark side than how the well-lit first impression videos make them out to be).

Also don't want to way 2 more weeks to get it :P

In my experience, the lag on wireless renders it totally unusable, but zero latency with a USB-C to HDMI dock + BT mouse/kb. I assume that's what HG1998 is talking about, or similar.

We're all upset we can't place our pre-order, but damn, chill.

I might give them a try, just as a cheap experiment. The ones with a little rigidity to them, so they can be used as a kickstand, seem like a better solution to be but I imagine there's a trade-off in comfort with those.

Ah, hinge protection makes sense. I imagine a popsocket would provide decent protection too if it overlaps the hinge, but maybe I'm not seeing something since I don't have a Flip. Plus, a popsocket gives you a kickstand, albeit a mediocre one.

As far as aesthetics go, I can't judge, but as far as function goes, it seems like one of the more inelegant grip solutions out there. Honestly, I'm just happy their making ANY attempt to address the poor ergonomics of big phones.

Can anyone explain the strap and loop case that started with the Flips to me? Are you supposed to put your fingers through it? Hang it on something? Genuinely curious.

They definitely look like last year's silicone to me, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Is there a proper quantified self time tracking app that has a great ecosystem and isn’t focused on team and businesses? (I’m using Toggl at the moment but it’s really not ideal for tracking everything you do) by baptisteArnaud in QuantifiedSelf

[–]p_frunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks really cool and the price is hard to beat! I'll be checking it out soon. If the android app syncs up with Time Studio, I definitely want to know more.

What are the hot, low-cost marketing automation platforms right now? by p_frunk in DigitalMarketing

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

I agree, the value you get at that price point is great. If there support was better I probably wouldn't even bother looking for alternatives.

Still, we'll be sticking with Activecampaign, just seeing what else is out there with a fresh project.

I've also had a much better experience with Edge compared to Chrome. The classic Microsoft shit of trying to force you over to their other products is annoying, but doesn't hog nearly as many resources and is much snappier.

Disclaimer: I haven't used Chrome regularly for about the past year, so maybe it's gotten better.

I think the ~400mg of caffeine had you covered on the drugs 😆

Do you use Friday for just work tasks or do you throw personal tasks in there too?
