    Android Cheapest 5G phone to use as hotspot?

    Looks like even Samsung has this `Bypass Charging` feature: https://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s23-bypass-charging-feature-more-phones-3282489/ Why the heck it gets locked to game mode/game apps only is beyond me and none of the phones in that list are in the sub 10k range, so that leaves...

    Hello TEam!

    Welcome fellow recruit; also a recruit here, also from Chennai! I also had email delivery/delays while signing up, guess we have 3 things in common now.

    AMD RMA Sucks

    I think even I prefer physically visiting the service center... assuming they'll just outright exchange items on the spot and help resolve the issue. Been very accustomed to how Rashi/Logitech/Asus handled their RMA before. Not sure if that has changed recently though.

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    I'm midway playing "Kingdom come: Deliverance" -- I've never been a fan of RPG games but this one's changed me. It's also on sale right now, so if anyone else is curious: https://store.steampowered.com/app/379430/Kingdom_Come_Deliverance/ Story is 11/10, unexpected. Fighting/controls are a tad...

    Android Cheapest 5G phone to use as hotspot?

    Woah, that's a cool site, finally I can drill down which phones have specific bands! I wonder how accurate this is? I would rather not pay for airfiber specifically because its too expensive. I don't need unlimited data, just need reliability when the wired ones go down, so the backup will...

    Android 14 Officially Launched

    I've had `suggested replies` on the desktop/web, so I assume some of those AI predictions run on the backend rather than on the client -- but don't really have a A14 device to confirm if it even runs locally

    Android Cheapest 5G phone to use as hotspot?

    Thanks! I wish we had phones with easy removable back/batteries, guess I'll have to try this experiment carefully. There's a Lava 5g phone for 10k brand new and its one of the cheapest I could find but it feels like I should buy a used one first since this experiment is likely going to void any...

    Using Landline on a Modem without telephone port

    If you have Jio Airfiber, you can use Jio's app to call/receive calls on your phone with their app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jio.join&hl=en_US To be honest the experience is a bit finicky, the reviews there explain it better than me :confused:

    Which Blower to clean PC?

    I bought one from the local electrical shop, it kinda looks like this (of course off brand but you get the idea): https://www.amazon.in/Cheston-Electric-Cleaner-Variable-Optional/dp/B07B2CFGWP I'd say go with any cheap blower, make sure to take care of your fans and do the blowing on an open...

    Android Cheapest 5G phone to use as hotspot?

    Thanks both for your inputs! So the main problem is heat and battery bulging. Some phones have capability to limit battery to x %, what if we use that to limit, will heat still be a problem? Or, If I remove the back cover and solder a similar voltage connection to the battery terminals (of...

    Android Cheapest 5G phone to use as hotspot?

    I've been running a Huawei 4G CPE as a backup connection but would like to explore using 5G. However, I couldn't find any 5G CPE available within India and even those available in other countries cost a lot more (around 20 to 25K?) which is just too much, not to mention customs is a pain... not...
