This is a link to my previous post about the HTC 10.

I bought it mainly for listening to music, and man, the audio quality was top-notch! The build was like a tank, and even today, I can still feel its premium feel.
What's your HTC story? Which HTC phone did you own, and what do you remember most about it?
Planning to buy Pixel 10a during BBD. Owners, how is it?
I'm planning to buy the Pixel 10a during the Flipkart BBD sale and wanted to hear from actual owners.
Mainly interested in:
Both positives and negatives are welcome. I'm mainly looking for real-world experience from people who have actually used the phone for a while.
Indian users are especially welcome.
I'm seriously thinking about trying GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 pro, but before I make the switch, I wanted to hear from people who are actually it.
If you're using GrapheneOS, how has it been for you?
I'm mainly wondering about things like:
I'd also like to know which Pixel you're using, how long you've been using GrapheneOS, and whether you've had any major issues after switching.
I'm not really looking for a "GrapheneOS is amazing" or "don't use it" type of answer. Just want to know what it's actually like to live with it.
Would love to hear both the good and the annoying parts.
Just bought a used Pixel 8 Pro for ₹35,000 from a local store in India.
It's the 12GB/256GB Indian variant and still has around 3 months of warranty remaining.
I only got the phone, with no box or charger.
So far, I'm enjoying it, although the battery life feels a bit average compared to my other phones.
Any tips, suggestions, useful features, settings to change, or things I should know as a new Pixel 8 Pro owner?
Also, what has your long-term experience with the Pixel 8 Pro been like?
I wanted to share my experience buying a pre-owned gaming PC from GameLoot. It was honestly an emotional rollercoaster.
Specs:
• Ryzen 5 5600X (New)
• RTX 3060 Ti 8GB (Pre-Owned)
• 16GB DDR4 3200 (Pre-Owned)
• 512GB NVMe SSD (Pre-Owned)
• Gigabyte B550M Gaming X WiFi (New)
• Cooler Master MWE 650W Bronze (New)
Price: ₹61,000
The reason I ordered a pre-built from GameLoot was simple. I was afraid of building a PC myself. I had never assembled one before, and I didn't want to risk damaging expensive components.
Unfortunately, when the PC arrived, it didn't even power on. No LEDs, no fans... absolutely nothing.
I spent hours checking cables, testing the PSU, and even got help from local technicians. After confirming the motherboard was most likely the issue, I contacted GameLoot.
The warranty process itself was frustrating.
Around that time, Mumbai was facing heavy rains and flooding, so their support was affected. I completely understand that, but the communication could have been much better.
I barely received any updates through email or WhatsApp. The only reliable way to get an update was by calling them every 2–3 days. Every time I called, I stayed polite and just asked for the status of my case.
I also found it difficult to communicate because the support representative I spoke with wasn't very comfortable speaking English. We managed somehow, but it definitely made the process slower.
Eventually, they asked me to send only the motherboard instead of the entire PC, which I appreciated. The motherboard was replaced under warranty, and after about a month, I received the replacement.
Now comes the ironic part.
The whole reason I bought a pre-built PC was because I didn't know how to build one.
But because of this issue, I had no choice but to learn.
I installed the CPU, cooler, RAM, SSD, motherboard, GPU, connected every cable, and assembled the PC myself.
When I finally pressed the power button and the PC turned on... it genuinely felt like finishing a marathon after a month of stress.
Overall, I'm happy that GameLoot honored the warranty and resolved the issue. But I won't lie—the whole process was mentally exhausting.
Personally, I don't think I'll buy another pre-built PC from GameLoot again—not because they refused the warranty, but because the communication and waiting during the claim were too frustrating for me.
On the bright side, I came out of this experience with something valuable. I finally learned how to build a PC on my own, and that's a skill I'll always have.
Sometimes something bad really does end up teaching you something good.
If you're planning to buy from gameloot at least buy a product which has warranty.
If anyone has questions about the warranty process, feel free to ask.

Quick Buying Tips:
If you think I've missed a great IEM under ₹2500 or disagree with any recommendation, let me know in the comments. I'll update this guide so it stays useful for everyone.
I don't want to buy cca phoneix or ROSESELSA AURORA Ultra. So I chose this
I'm planning to buy the 7Hz Salnotes Zero USB-C with mic from TAS and the current price looks pretty good.
Before I place the order:
This will mainly be for gaming (FPS) and then music.
Thanks!
Planning to get my sister her first IEM.
Budget: ₹2,000 (can stretch up to ₹2,500)
She mainly listens to music and plays BGMI & COD Mobile, so I need an IEM with an inline mic for voice chat.
Since this is her first IEM, I'm expecting some rough handling, so durability and overall build quality are a priority. I also live in a coastal region with high humidity, so I'd prefer something that holds up well over time and isn't too prone to filter/nozzle issues.
What would you recommend within this budget? Long-term user experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!
Edit: It should have both MIC and type-C

Finally added a new member to my Nothing collection! Bought this for 29k INR (10 days used).
Started with the CMF Phone 2 Pro, and now the ecosystem is slowly coming together. Really liking the design language and the clean software experience so far.
Looking forward to expanding the collection even more. Also I don't really like the look or feel of the official case, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Just wondering if anyone here has already ordered one.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for reliable phone dealers who have a physical store and regularly buy, sell, and exchange smartphones. They could also have a Facebook page, Instagram page, Telegram/WhatsApp channel, or a website where they post their available stock.
I'm planning to switch phones quite often, so I'm looking for dealers who offer fair pricing and reasonable exchange/resale values. My local stores usually have higher prices and low exchange offers, so I'm hoping to find dealers from other cities as well.
If you know any trusted dealers anywhere in India, please share their store name, page, or contact details. Feel free to DM me if you don't want to post them publicly.
Thanks in advance!
I've been daily driving crDroid on my OnePlus 13, and it genuinely feels like the best of both worlds.
• OnePlus hardware
• Pixel-like software experience
• Smooth performance
• And now, the stock OnePlus Camera has finally been ported.
This is probably the closest I've come to my ideal Android setup.
Anyone else daily driving custom ROM on the OP13?

I have the Simgot EW300. Initially, I used it without EQ and thought it sounded good, but not great.
Then I tried some of the pre-built EQ presets in Poweramp Equalizer, and it sounded so much better. Eventually, I manually tuned the EQ to my own liking, and now I really enjoy how it sounds.
What about you? Do you use your IEMs as they are, or do you EQ them?
