Sprint unlocked LG G8 now being used on T Mobile -- any issues? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if my newly purchased (used to be Sprint phone) LG G8 will have any issues being used on my T Mobile account? Will there be any issues with speed or any hiccups or incompatibllities (or disadvantages compared to having a dedicated T Mobile version of the G8?). Thank you. Also wondering... does anyone know if this phone is due for an Android 11 update anytime soon (and is 11 reviewed more favorably than 10 by most?)? Thanks in advance!

Galaxy note 20 and Bluetooth devices

Hi guys
I have a Galaxy note 20 phone and recently upgraded to Android 12
I also have a smartwatch that is also connected to my phone
I want to automatically disconnect the watch when I connect to the the Bluetooth device on my car
even if I disconnect it manually it keeps connecting back automatically
Is there anyway to achieve that?
I also suffer from lots if disconnects from my Bluetooth device and it became very unstable :-(
Thanks

No problem. Did you already check the device forum if a solution has already been posted?

Questions regarding possible sim card options for embedded android device.

I am new to the realm of Android and especially embedded style devices. I have not disassembled the device yet but I do have photos of the internals with high def photos of only a few devices. The platform is based on a Qualcomm WTR4095 (Transceiver), Qualcomm QFE4320(??), Qualcomm MSM8909 (Snapdragon 210), WCN3610(WiFi, Bluetooth, FM?). It seems similar to structure of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge from some light googling.
My problem is that the cellular service for this device is no longer supported. My question is, is the SIM data embedded in one of these chips? If it is, how would it be possible (if at all) to get this device working with a new cellular network plan. If the SIM data is not embedded what sort of device on the circuit should I look for and how would I rig in a new SIM?
Let me know if I need to fill in more information but this seemed to be the best place for me to start asking for some guidance on the road ahead!

No worries, thank you for moving it to the correct forum. I will review the guidances for future reference.

Unlock remote devices.

I don't know if this post belongs here.
otherwise please move it
Today we had a nationwide security check in Germany.
The sirens wailed and notifications were sent to all mobile phones.
I don't know if I was the only one who had this phenomenon, but after I confirmed the message, my phone was unlocked.
Did other users also notice this?
My phone still has android 10
Am I just configuring my device wrong or is this a security hole?

Beginner warning! Best android phone for custom ROMS

Hello All,
I'm a complete noob but am interesting in taking a (cheap) android phone and replacing the UI with a custom 'ROM'.
Can anyone suggest which brand and/or model of phone is good for one's first attempt?
Alternatively, is there a reputable company I can pay to have this done? (I'm in the West Midlands, UK.)
Many thanks

A Xiaomi phone with Snapdragon CPU is a good choice. Like Poco x5 or redmi, but with Snapdragon
