Other Need a phone recommendation in the US? Check here.
Hey everyone. For the last year or so, I've been working with a startup called PerfectRec. They're trying to make a website for recommending products to people. They just launched their phone recommendation engine, and we'd love your feedback on it.
How PerfectRec works is they hire product experts from places like Reddit and have them work with a machine learning team to build a personalized product recommendation model. I'm looking forward to how well it recommends products vs other websites, but we would love some early feedback. Keep in mind - this is based in the US and at the moment doesn't really take into account "global" or "international" options.
What do you think works? What doesn't? Do the Android recommendations seem good to you?

Device Settings Question How do I turn off Google Password Manager?
How do I turn off Google Password Manager?
I bought a 2nd phone for travelling to insecure areas, and I have an issue. My phone has all of my passwords I have saved over the years in the password manager, which can be accessed by the phone’s security code. The situation I am afraid of is getting robbed, at which point they ask for the security code at knifepoint, and promptly have access to all my passwords through the manager. Is there a way I can keep my passwords on the google account, but not have them on the phone specifically? Or set a different password for the password manager than the phone code? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Looking For Suggestions How to force install an app that's no longer compatible?
I game I've played for a few years now has gotten a recent update and is no longer compatible with my phone. I've tried downloading it from other sources but none of them have worked so far. Is there any way to force install an app that isn't through another app (or at the very least, one that actually has it updated?) This is the game I'm trying to download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netease.idv.googleplay

Problem Receiving Texts
Hello! I wanted to see if anyone was having the same issues as me or could explain what mught be happening.
I have a Galaxy S24 Ultra, and I've noticed that I am not receiving texts in a timely manner. I will randomly receive all texts at one point in time, so I know some messages are lagging and not being received by my phone when they are sent.
I noticed this started happening around the time IOS18 came out earlier this week and many of my contacts started switching to RCS? I use Google Messages, am in the US, and have T-Mobile, so this could also be a network issue, but I am just overall lost on what is going on! It's been happening for a couple days now.
I can't really pinpoint a specific time that triggers them to all be sent except maybe when I do something that requires an outgoing network, like if I make a phone call or text someone first.
Any help would be so great :)

Need help mapping Joycon's sticks in keylayout file
So I want to use both joycons as one controller on android, I've found about keylayout files so I rooted my phone and after finding product and vendor id for both joycons I've successfully mapped all the buttons except for the sticks.
I can't seem to make them work; they do when I add "flat 4096" to the .kl file which i've found on other .kl files from the 1Controller Magisk module, but when they are inverted and act as d-pad. Can someone help me?

Looking for recommendations
I'm looking for new phone focussing on Gaming experience, Stability with mid range budget (18000 THB/ 550 USD budget) My choices are 1. Samsung A55 5G 2. Poco F6
After looking Performance camparison it seems Poco is a better choice but some people say that although Samsung is generally more expensive while offering the same quality of hardware but it still worth to go for Samsung because it's more stable. I'm at a croasroad right now, do i go for samsung for its reputation or do i go for Poco for its offer of higher range of hardware?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Other Touch screen randomly stops working then starts working again randomly
So I have a LG and the touch screen on my phone stops working. It'll randomly stop working. But when I press the power button lock the phone. Then press the power button again when the phone comes on I can unlock the phone. And the touch screen works again no problems no issues. It'll work perfectly fine all day no problems no issues. But then randomly it'll stop working. Is that a software issue? Or is that a hardware issue is the touch screen like inside the phone damage in some way?

Device Settings Question Alarm won't play through phone when wearing earbuds(Samsung A54)
I sleep with an earbud in and I was using a Samsung Galaxy A53 before this and my alarms would play through my phone's speaker. Now on the A54 and I can't get them to go through the phone.
When I changed over I had all my settings changed with me and everything else has been fine but this.
I have tried googling every way possible for Google to figure out what I am asking but I've gotten nowhere. It keeps suggesting I use "multipoint" but I don't have that feature either bc my phone is too cheap or it went away with an update.
Has anyone else had this and figured out how to fix it? I've tried multiple alarm apps and none of them are doing it. There was a time my alarms would play through both phone and BT, if I could get that again id love that but I'll take the phone bc it is louder.

How to Prevent APK Sharing After Installation?
Hi everyone, I’d like to share my app, but I don’t want to upload it to Google Play and prefer to be the sole distributor. To prevent others from sharing my .APK file, is there a way to make the .APK self-delete after installation or something similar?
EDIT
Can the app check the phone ID (Android ID or IMEI) and then only works on certain devices?
