    Change recently used apps to vertical (card) type? Android 10

    I only use a bit of it really, Lock Star, Task Changer now, Clock Face and I used to use the Routines but I only use the Bixby routines now, they are very useful to me. This is my first Samsung (A50) and I'm really impressed with it, always use Microsoft Launcher with it though, been using it...

    Change recently used apps to vertical (card) type? Android 10

    Don't know what you've got 413x but if it's a Samsung, Good Lock has an app called Task Changer and I've just changed mine to vertical stack, looks ok too, think I'll keep it like that...

    Xperia XZ2 Compact, but getting one for £200 will be tough. Xperia XZ1 Compact can be had brand new around that price (£195) on a popular auction site...

    Budget phone

    There's a used A60 Pro (Android 9 with 3GB Ram) on the rainforest going for £63.35, it's a warehouse option so slight imperfections etc. Sorry it's not £60 or less but super close...

    Football fixture calendar sync

    Use Outlook myself and you can add a calendar, I think it worked for me for the most part last year (Fixtures all still on show though through Covid :-( ) although I had to re-add it again for this years fixtures. Through a browser only seemed to offer the Prem, but through the Mail app on...

    **** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

    I'm sure it's a good phone but at that price there may be better alternatives, the POCO X3 NFC is being launched next Monday, also the MI 10 Lite was recently at £239 on the rainforest although it has just gone back up to £299. Both the MI 10 Lite and MI Note 10 Lite are a little over £200 on...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    I thought I did know it (14 days) but got some confusing results from a quick google search just before leaving for work, that 31 day notice is correct also, thanks. I'll try to get used to it and see how I go as I've only had it for 2 days, for the most part I'm happy with the Sky Q box etc.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Hi all, new Sky TV customer here, had my install yesterday, phone and bb on the 4/11. The quality of the SD channels is awful, wow. I find it hard to believe that watching Sky One on my Now TV through ROKU looks much better than Sky One on the Q box, I'm not paying £5 a month for HD when a multi...

    Samsung A70 6.7" 4500 no curved screen ~£400

    ShiWarrior is right Tuvoc, you have the setting "Stay on Lock screen" enabled in Settings > Biometrics and security > Face recognition Turn that off and it'll just go straight past the lock screen, I use it all the time as the FPR on my A50 is either too slow or just plain unreliable...

    considering a new phone ..

    I use the A50 for very basic smartphone purposes, I don't stretch it at all playing no games and don't really multitask. I'm not sure about the A70 and facial recognition but the A30 may well have it, although that one at least has a capacitive reader on the back, even it it is a little slow at...

    considering a new phone ..

    I took a punt because it was £309 in most retail shops in the UK, just wasn't savvy enough as there were trade ins and cash backs etc for UK buyers. Getting it for £195 eased the burden on my wallet but this is the big thing, as far as I'm concerned I don't have a warranty for it, I don't care...

    considering a new phone ..

    The one I bought was from egcuk and has 128GB/6GB, got it for £195. It's gone up since but what a faff my purchase was, wouldn't recommend you buy from them. Took them nearly 4 weeks to deliver it, I was a couple of days away from starting a paypal dispute with them when it just started tracking...

    considering a new phone ..

    I have the A50 and think it's very good despite the hit or miss on-screen fingerprint reader (I just use face unlock mostly). The A30 can be had off a popular auction site, same screen, same battery, same body virtually but with a capacitive reader on the back and a weaker processor for around...

    72 hour alarm

    I use outlook on my android mobile and needed a reminder for something on the 19th every 3 months, you can do this for every n days/weeks/months so that could do it. Don't know about google calendar as don't use it.

    **** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

    Mine seems fine, I'm sure there are faster but it seems like around a quarter of a second, maybe a third. I'm OK with that. Perhaps a reboot will help...

    Best phone with a max 5.5 screen on a budget

    I'll make an assumption that your desire to have a no bigger than 5.5 inch screen is due to device size. It has a notch and a 5.84 inch screen but it is smaller than your Note 4, how about a MI A2 Lite? It's running Android One so no MIUI but it's getting regular updates, 4 so far in 4 months of...

    Loud ring tone & alerts

    A different way of getting around this would be to buy a Xiaomi Mi Band 2 or 3, anything from £20 to £30 on the rainforest and set it up to vibrate when you get a call or text (you can also selectively setup app notifications). You'd also get sleep monitoring and step counter all in a decent app...
