| Apex Launcher is now pushing scummy ads for a new browser Posted: 16 Nov 2019 11:00 AM PST IMO, uninstall ASAP and report to the Play Store; this is too intrusive and a very scummy approach to trick the not-tech-savvy. Apex has injected itself in such a way that when you try to run Chrome or Firefox, a prompt appears with two options: The browser you expected or a "Privacy Browser" they "Recommand". That bogus browser is to be installed from play store. It's this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=privacy.browser&hl=en See image of popup on my phone [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 16 Nov 2019 03:49 AM PST In February of this year (late to the hype party, I know), I ordered my OnePlus 6T, and recently bought an S10+ to replace it. And to say the least, owning one wasn't the best experiences with phones I've ever had. I loved that phone when it arrived, everything about it was perfect. It was the perfect size for me, the fingerprint sensor was pretty quick, it charged quickly, there were so many things I liked about this phone. But then the problems started pouring in. Right, so, here we go. The slider on the right side of the phone to mute the phone, was extremely temperamental to the point where 9 times out of 10 it just wouldn't work. The build quality was terrible. The phone would creek, the buttons would move in the sockets, and the screen sometimes wouldn't respond to anything. The fast charger from the box was really dangerous. It would spark everytime it touched the phone, the floor, the table, me, literally anything. OxygenOS is great but has some serious flaws aswell. After contacting OnePlus multiple times over some of these issues, using the 24hr online chat and via email, and on all the occurrences they had no idea what was going on or how to help. I even tried using the OnePlus community app and got accused of lying and "talking crap". the phone was great, and I mean great. The specs were amazing and something worth ranting and raving about for the price. However, you really do get what you pay for. I wouldn't say steer clear of OnePlus, just be wary that if you have a problem, you're probably better off trying to figure it out yourself instead of contacting support. . Edit 1 - This isn't me trying to attack OnePlus or anything, this is me just saying how owning one could go. Edit 2 - Yes, my charger really did spark, no this is not a troll post. I had emails back and forth with OnePlus (I don't have access to the email address anymore), and I was told I wasn't the first. Edit 3 - I'm from the UK, I still live in the UK, and I was refused a replacement. [link] [comments] | ||

| Which Chinese phones are trustworthy? Posted: 16 Nov 2019 01:23 PM PST So I realise I'm probably being paranoid, but with the trade ban and posts like this I'm wondering how trustworthy are Chinese phones? Like are there certain brands which are more privacy focused than others? Should state-owned companies be avoided? Or super budget brands? Is it region specific? I'm in Europe so would a global ROM be less invasive than a Chinese ROM? Or is it all just fear-mongering and there's nothing to worry about? Sorry if this is a dumb post but I really want a Mi9T but keep having second thoughts and don't really want to go down the custom ROM route. [link] [comments] |
