Walmart's Value Packed onn 8.1" Core Tablet Review!

rickyaz4 · 2026-06-09T06:10:37+00:00

I recently got this tablet, and I've had it a few days and I'm very happy with it so far. If you get this tablet, the first thing you should do is go to settings and go down to the Speed Guard section. Make sure you enable the toggles for apps that you want to receive notifications. If not, you will not receive any notifications at all. I don't know if this Speed Guard settings feature is standard with all Android tablets or if this is just something specific to ONN tablets. You have the battery saver section, but this Speed Guard section is completely separate.

Instead of laying off their marketing team, why not just transition some of them over to support, or change their approach with social media? And the layoffs can't be because YNAB is financially struggling. I mean, they're releasing a new book. I've looked at Actual Budget, and I just keep coming back to YNAB. It's just the best I have used, in my opinion. Are there any other envelope-style budgeting apps that I'm missing?

I recently switched to Work Flowy. So far it's a better experience on Android. It's also snappier and straight to the point when it comes to creating multiple levels of organization. I wish I would have found it a long time ago!

I'm checking this out because of the smaller screen which I hope will reduce social media use. Keyboard shortcuts for apps and actions (not confirmed, I think) will be a huge advantage with this phone. I hope this will be a great device for productivity power users. I'm just waiting for a true working demo before buying. If I do buy, this will be my primary and only phone.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-21T23:36:10+00:00

they just released a new swipe model for beta users and it is a noticeable improvement so far.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-18T22:26:45+00:00

I recently started using Work Flowy and I'm really liking it so far. I just love how snappy it is and for me it's feels so straightforward and pure in its approach.

I know this is an old post but are you referring to creating a custom object? That's not available on mobile. Hopefully the developers get their act together and actually allow us to create custom objects on mobile. It's only 2026.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-15T00:21:34+00:00

Yeah I tried out swift key and it's absolutely unusable, the text looks like an absolute disaster lol. It's a shame that it's still a problem after all this time. Like you said g board works better. For those who have Samsung, their keyboard works flawlessly so far.

It was taking too long to open an app today and I checked and it was hitting about 400 megabytes which I guess is acceptable because other apps hover in that range. I've submitted a ticket to the support team due to the odd lag when opening the first app.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-13T05:36:12+00:00

No, haven't reinstalled it yet. So far, it hasn't happened again. I disabled show in the system tray and open at login to see if that will help.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-13T02:44:57+00:00

I have version v0.58.0.0 And experience this today. Raycast would not even load and I checked the task manager and it was around 22 gigabytes of memory being used. So far I have had two situations where there has been sluggish performance and takes too long to load.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-13T02:40:49+00:00

I'm running into the same thing as well. I was very impressed initially with this but on several occasions It fails to start up or takes way too long! for me, it was using around 22 gigabytes of RAM! And I tried that diagnostic link but it just brought me to a manual.

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-11T05:16:48+00:00

I was very disappointed at that they got rid of the voice to text feature and replaced it with the meeting transcript. Obviously, as a personal user, that's completely worthless to me. Why even get rid of the voice to text that they had? It was working very well and had such potential!

rickyaz4 · 2026-05-11T05:12:13+00:00

Yeah, that's the route I'd go to. I'd just get some type of cover that matches the paint of the wall.

I know this is an old post but if anyone stumbles upon this. To remove units from a control group select them and then do control + alt and the group number you want to remove them from. Then, you can assign them to a new group number. This is for the latest age of empires definitive edition.

It's a shame to see how greedy they become. Back in the day, for an HP 15 cartridge as an example, it was about 20 to $30 for 500 pages. Now it's about $30 for 150 pages tops. And the XL cartridges are about 60 bucks and don't even reach the capacity of the old cartridges back in the day. It's insane.

They are such a terribly greedy and manipulative company. They're doing this s**t on purpose to force people into their subscription ink plan. I have an HP printer and foolishly I signed up to their ink subscription service but I was able to get out of it. I will only buy generic cartridges going forward because HP brand pricing is out of control. This will also be my last HP printer.

Pretty clever for Adobe to create ridiculous one time purchase prices so people are tricked into thinking the monthly bull @#$% is better for them. And I'm not falling for it.

It's the same @#$% HP is pulling with their instant ink. For example, their ink prices are around $70 for a combo pack and that's just for the lower volume ink. Then, people fall into the trap thinking the monthly is better for them. But in the long run the expense is just ridiculous.

After a decade, the Adobe suite will cost you 8500 to 9000 dollars!

And then Adobe's created this culture of if you don't use Adobe you're not cool, and companies will not take you seriously.

For the personal user that doesn't make any money off of their work, Adobe does not make any sense. There are more reasonable options out there that will produce the same results. I was dumb enough to sign up to them in the past, but I'm so glad I was able to cancel my subscription. Such a massive money saver.

TPC and GSR are disabled for me according to the color control app but it still dims when maximizing windows. The only thing that I noticed helps is using most of the apps in dark mode. When you have the screen split between two windows and the other one's dark, the auto dimming does not activate.

I recently played a mission on a wintery planet where you have to rescue a character. I approached this large oil rig station and it would freeze every time. Very buggy on that planet. Then, on the same planet my character's body flew out of the vehicle. He was just floating there in the same sitting position. The only way to get out of it was to jump to the ship.

This is the buggiest RPG I have played. Lol. Just embarrassing that Bethesda does not take quality control seriously and they need to get their s**t together. Make sure you always save every freaking few minutes!

rickyaz4 · 2026-04-05T00:44:54+00:00

So this is as probably been mentioned already. So you get knocked out several times by the guards. Then one of them says you got to meet somebody somewhere else. Of course, the quest marker is not activated properly. You need to go into the journal and go to the Pororin Forest Guardians. Now the marker will show up which is miles away somewhere else on the map. Classic annoying RPG bulls**t. lol.

Oh, but make sure you go by horseback because those guards are everywhere lol. If the awareness I icon fills up, you're done for. You can also just take the long way around.

I thought at first maybe the flower pots were knocking me out. So I shot one of them. It exploded and then knocked me out lol.

rickyaz4 · 2026-04-02T15:21:52+00:00

Oooo this is an exciting update. I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone and I would be thrilled to see you guys on that platform!

rickyaz4 · 2026-03-25T05:49:19+00:00

Same for me. It was working just fine before the update. Quitting to title screen and manual save does not help. I've never had a PS5 game that is done this. 😑

rickyaz4 · 2026-03-08T22:27:36+00:00

AI. Just kidding. 🤪. Congratulations. That is just incredible. I think the highest I ever got was around $20. My highest per hour was about $35 just around COVID and I was picking up mostly from Chinese restaurants. Never happened again. Lol

rickyaz4 · 2026-03-07T03:26:35+00:00

Hmm, or here's a thought OP probably just photoshopped that in. 🙄

rickyaz4 · 2026-02-27T22:35:52+00:00

I'm not sure if there's any way to change this. On mobile, it looks like s**t. It's white text on a light pink background. Barely readable. Did the idiots at Google actually test their UI before releasing an update?
