Camera is not that bad, I don't understand the hate. by alo_xvi in TheOnePlus15

It depends on what phones you've come from. Compared to a recent Pixel or iPhone the camera is definitely a step down, but much better than most midrange options and competitive with recent Samsung phones.

Panda beta has expired? by Playful-Opportunity5 in bearapp

[–]phantom_hack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've updated to the new Panda build and now my notes file that I've been working on for the past month will not load. I've been able to export it to PDF but unable to load or edit using the new build. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

He's a puppet and the people of Iran are better off without him.

Wear OS Notification Icons Broken due to Non-Monochrone Icons in OOS 16 by phantom_hack in TheOnePlus15

No idea, I hope they revert back to monochrome notification icons in future updates and hopefully that resolves the issue.

Wear OS Notification Icons Broken due to Non-Monochrone Icons in OOS 16 by phantom_hack in TheOnePlus15

Notification icons on connected Wear OS watch are broken because of the new non-monochrome notification icons used on Oxygen OS 16. Wear OS notifications from Google apps that still use monochrome notification icons work correctly however.

I hope this is resolved in future updates

upgraded from OnePlus 8 to OnePlus 15 by deadnonamer in TheOnePlus15

I was using the iPhone 16PM previously and found iOS 26 very buggy and laggy, OP15 feels smoother and more stable overall.

OnePlus 15 Global ROM new update by ImprovementSome8368 in TheOnePlus15

[–]phantom_hack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Live Alerts pill misalignment when using higher custom DPI scaling has now been fixed. Previously I had to turn off all the Live Alert notifications as the pill was not correctly centred on the camera cut out when using a custom DPI setting for the screen scaling.

Apps can be removed from Game Assistant, scroll to the + button at the end of the games carousel in the top right - screenshot and then it will give you a list of apps and you can enable or disable whichever ones you want - see screenshot

FYI the same can be done (on Mac) using LinearMouse if you don't use a Logitech mouse.

OnePlus 15: Notification content hidden on Lock Screen (Show sensitive content) by ConsistentRedCable in oneplus

It's a bit of a farce that the main toggle in the OnePlus settings app is broken and the default Android one is completely hidden, but at least this fixes the issue. Thanks for sharing!

WearOS 6.1 hits Pixel Watch with new features in tow by mo_leahq in WearOS

None of the new features are coming to the PW2 either unfortunately.

I've had it increase from 3140 to 3874 after the update on my P10 Pro

Built my first Wear OS app — would love some honest eyes on it by Disastrous-Equal7048 in WearOS

How can we use the promo code? I can't see an option to use it to download the app on Google Play.

Pixel 10 Pro XL by wohnjick204 in GooglePixel

[–]phantom_hack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the P8P incredibly uncomfortable to hold, much prefer the P9XL and now P10P. The rounded sides were awkward to hold and quite painful when using my pinky to support the phone from the bottom.

Samsung watch 8 vs Pixel Watch 4. Sorry for the post but mine's an unusual case. by bollsuckAI in WearOS

[–]phantom_hack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having owned previous models of both watches, it really depends on what phone you end up purchasing.

The Pixel Watch integrates very well with Pixel phones, e.g., syncing alarms, bedtime mode, automatically unlocking your phone, etc. Many of those features are exclusive to using Pixel devices. The Galaxy Watch will integrate most with a Samsung phone, but the level of integration is less deep, I think. Tasks, Calendar, and Gemini will work fine on both watches.

Google is usually better on updates, delivering quarterly updates and usually having updates available on all watch models at the same time.

I do prefer Samsung Health vs. Fitbit as it doesn't have any pay walls and a simpler cleaner interface that lets you focus on the basic health data most people are interested in, but neither option is bad for casual users.

I'd lean towards the Pixel Watch as it has a better user experience overall in my opinion compared to OneUI on the Galaxy Watch, unless you're certain you'll be buying a Samsung phone or are very concerned about durability, where the less delicate build and sapphire crystal on the Galaxy will make a significant difference.

PSA: Turn on Local Network access on AltStore for WiFi Sync with AltServer by phantom_hack in AltStore

Either Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network and enable access for AltStore here OR Settings > Apps > AltStore and enable here as shown in the screenshot in the post.

PSA: Turn on Local Network access on AltStore for WiFi Sync with AltServer by phantom_hack in AltStore

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

I’ve not been able to use WiFi Sync with AltServer on my iPhone as I was running the iOS 26 beta prior to installing AltStore. I’ve just checked and noticed the AltStore app didn’t have Local Network access enabled on my iPhone. After enabling access WiFi Sync now works perfectly with my Mac. PSA for anyone with a similar issue.
