OnePlus 9 Pro 11.2.9.9 [T-Mobile Variant]

I’m going to give it a couple days but anyone else noticing higher battery usage after this update? Also, it seems like the changelog was a lot bigger for the global variant which also notably came with the xpan update for the camera. Am I missing something?

Can't send gifs

I recently switched over to TMobile and upgraded to the Samsung S21 but ever since I got this phone I can't send gifs through text message anymore. The error message says "message size limit reached." However I can text videos or pics that are bigger than gifs. I had no problem sending gifs with my S9 through Verizon. I also have 5G.

I have an S20 FE 5G phone that was recently upgraded to Android 12. I understand that there is a very dangerous 2G vulnerability called "Stingray". Is it possible to block or disable 2G on my phone?

Convert physical sim to esim in 2022 in Android phone

Is there an easy way to convert my prepaid sim to an eSIM on a Pixel 5?  I've seen older questions on this topic, but I'd like to know if there is a way this can be done easily in 2022, without contacting support or going into a store.

LG V60 AOD cuts battery life in half! How to fix?

Questions:Does anyone else notice that turning on the Always On Display (AOD) cuts battery life in half? Do you know how to fix this issue?Attached Screenshots explained:For Example: You can verify this by going to the Battery Saver Edit Mode and toggling the AOD on/off and see the remaining time change from 29 hrs to 55 hrs (I am currently at 64%).  I attached screenshots of me doing this.Troubleshooting already done:Restarting, turned off fingerprint reader, made sure no available updates (See version info below), Reproduced results on another V60. Cleared Cache and restarted phone. We have only been using the phones for about a month as we purchased them Open Box new just 1 month ago.  I started by signing in and immediately applying all software updates up to the current version.  So they were both essentially at factory settings recently.  I reset mine several times as I was trying to find the best method to restore/transfer from my other phone.Version Info: Android:11, Software:V

Feature updates for unlocked Samsung Note20 Ultra?

I have a Note20 Ultra that I bought unlocked from Samsung. I get security updates, but I don't seem to be getting feature updates. When I look at my account online or in the T-Mobile app, it says it doesn't recognize what model phone it is, but in other spots, T-Mobile appears to recognize it. Anyone know how I can fix this, so I can get updates like Android 12?

Pixel phone texting random extra recipient in group text

Hi,We just upgraded our phones (Pixel 5A) and my wife's phone is occasionally sending group texts to a separate conversation with an extra recipient. The random extra recipient is listed as "gigaty+[her phone number]@bicotdbqqzo.com"I'm wondering if something dorked up when I swapped out the SIM card to the new phone, but hers is the only one doing that. It's super annoying since it's splitting conversations into two separate chats. I had a similar issue on my phone when we switched over from Sprint a couple months ago, but it went away after a couple hours. I haven't been able to find anything on Google about this issue.Anybody know how to fix?

micro sd card for Galaxy S9

T-Mobile support advises the S9 can accept up to a 400GB micro-SD card.  That seems a peculiar number as they come in 128, 256 or 512GB but I’ve never seen a 400GB card.  Samsung website says 512, but it may vary by country and carrier.  Does anyone know if a US model SM-G960U can really handle a 512GB card?

iPhone to Android in Japan

I am currently living in Japan. We have continued using our TMobile service. I am having issues with my phone, so I am going to purchase a new phone. I will be switching from an iPhone to an android. I do not have a SIM card for the android (iPhones do not have a sim correct?). I cannot have anything shipped to my address out here from T-Mobile either. We have a PO Box. What do I do in this situation?? Finding unlocked iPhones out here is difficult which is why I’m making the switch.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
