There are plenty of alternatives to the native SMS Texting app, for Example Quik SMS - no trackers and it’s very smooth.
Also for secured messaging - there is Signal, and they are top Dog in that end.
Whatscrap is just a platform for Meta to scan your messages and make customized ads for you.
If you have a SD card you are installing them on, copy them directly to the SD and then put that in the phone. Also, disconnects I feel have to do with the quality of the USB cable.
I love Fulguris
I honestly didn’t know there were different variations of Xperia, I bought mine through the Sony Website.
Band 14 in the US is reserved for First Responders via First Net aka AT&T, and when the other bands get overloaded then it’s given use to regular consumers - if they have band 14. From my understanding. Because there aren’t many phones that have 14 on them sold outside of AT&T from what I find, unless band 14 access is a software adjustment, but that I don’t know.
Also, don’t forget to fold your laundry
I don’t think there is a difference between the US & International Version, just maybe the Bands it covers. But the Sony Xperia is a SOLID phone.
Do you have a link?
I try to use nothing Google on my phone, which I know is impossible, but I try. The only thing I use is the maps - sparingly - I prefer Here We Go, and whatever Google stuff you need to make apps go.
Key Mapper a few Android versions ago would have been the solution, but in 14, they definitely scaled back what you can do. It almost like they are becoming apple. Lol
I loved my BlackBerry
Best Audio and a 256GB SD card
I’m on the hill! 😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone has their things to look for, I have the 1, it’s slightly larger than the 5, but for me it was headphone jack and SD card slot.
I either get them from Amazon or Sony directly. I’m glad they moved from the glass back to a textured back.
They will give you updates for about 2 years. Every device I had was upgraded from 13 to 14. I personally don’t have a problem with it. Sometimes new features you don’t like so you stick with the old.
I have had this conversation before, it’s a give and take. If it’s a simple typo, why say “Edited” - especially when most people can see it’s a typo. But when you are changing the context of the message, it should say “Edited” so when someone says “I said X not Y” to prove their point, but it says Edited.
I say keep it for typos.
I use Sony Xperia phones, they aren’t as big and still have the same features I love - SD Card and Headphone Jack
Foldable phones look like the best of both worlds, but that screen looks like one fold the wrong way and it’s problems.
I’m merely responding to his post. Maybe he’s in the US?
