So in all these cases, the best bet is to downgrade your Realme device from Android 13 to Android 12....

However, before the global release of any major upgrade, the OEM first starts with the beta testing program. Users voluntarily take part in this, download the beta builds and give feedback to the developers.

As expected, there are quite a few bugs and underlying issues....

As of now, various users have voiced their concern that as soon as they load the game, they find Eivor to be drunk. And it remains in this state even after a considerable time period has elapsed.

This time around, some have pointed fingers at the Yule drinking game....

However, as of now, not everyone is able to make full use of this app. No, it’s not related to server-side issues (for a change). Rather the issue this time around is the app’s strange usage behavior that is leading to extreme battery consumption. In this regard, a plethora of complaints are all lined up across Google Support Forum and even the app’s Play Store listing. Across these forums, users have reported a 50% battery drain in 2 hours, to the battery going on a downward spiral from 100% to 5% in 3 hours....

Whenever they are trying to open any of these sites, they are instead being greeted with the “Home screen is temporarily unavailable” error....

From then onwards up to the sixth iteration, this feature has been removed [though Pixel 7 series have once again bought it back].

While these tweaks do add up a slew of functionalities to your device, on the flip side they might prove to be risky as well. This is where the ADB Commands come in handy.

Be it for uninstalling bloatware, tweaking RAM configuration, setting a custom animation scale, disabling adaptive battery, or changing the maximum and minimum refresh rate, the possibilities stand endless....

Named Call Screening, your call will be in the hands of Google Assistant who would start the conversation on your behalf, asking important questions like who is calling and, why.

These devices get bugged with a plethora of issues every now and then. The worst part is that Xiaomi either refuses to acknowledge these bugs or even if they do, it takes them ages to release a fix. As of now, the Poco X3 Pro users were already getting bugged with the Ghost Touch issues, but there wasn’t any major issue as such with its counterpart, the F3, until the OEM rolled out the MIUI 12....
