android

I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.

I have a pixel 6 on Google Fi. The cell coverage at my new home is not great. If I have my preferred network type set to 5G I have no Internet connectivity. If I manually change it to LTE I get connectivity (albeit slow)....

I’m often in longer telephone conferences and like to play relatively uncomplicated, mindless games like 2048 or threes. Both of these are getting pretty boring these days, so I’m looking for new games.

Previously on Lemmy: Motorola...

I wanna move to samsung and debloat it with adb. Will the bloat come back after each update?

Trying to get my child to go out and run a bit with me, worked ok so far but I know it might get boring at some point....

I imagine certain features like Google Maps’ different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

I’m rooting my samsung a33 device with kernelsu. Lets say I install the next update through OTA, will the kernel get replaced with the samsung kernel or will the kernelsu one remain?

I really want to install a custom ROM. Any good ROM recommendations while we’re at it?...

I personally really liked the idea of bubbles, messenger bubbles are great and having them for all kinds of apps was great, the UI works flawlessly, with the bubbles moving when obstructing the keyboard or PIP. But some texts never register as conversation for some reason, so you can’t bubble them, the plus icon doesn’t even...

So, there’s been ample discussion in the corresponding community threads and Samsung has gotten a lot of hate there....

I basically looking for a time that I can set for say 10, 15 or 20 minutes and have it notify me every minute and a half to 2 minutes.

I love the app, but as of late it’s crashing and getting network errors All. The. Time. I’m kinda done bearing through it waiting for it to be fixed. The official app has the same issues....

Hi people, I was wondering if anyone of you knew a good call recording app for Android? I’m starting soon a new job and it involves a lot of interviewing, and I was thinking of recording these phone interviews for note taking. My company doesnt provide software for it, just a work phone. It’s (presumably) running Android 12...

I wasn’t sure how to word the title but what I mean by “semi-passively productive” is something that I can have running on the phone that requires little to no interaction and is in some way beneficial to me....

I’ve tried Google’s Messages for Web, Microsoft’s Phone Link, and KDE’s Connect. They all seem to have the same problem: they lose connection constantly and have to be unpaired and re-paired. Is this a problem inherent to the way that Android works? Has anyone managed to solve it, or is there a setting to fix it?...

Hi all :)...

I’m looking for an alternative to “sleep as android” as its not FOSS....

Hey,...

I’m thinking it should be possible but I can’t figure out how: Can you simultaneously play music on a Bluetooth speaker and record video at the same time with the same phone?...

I used Fox’s Magisk Module Manager since its beginning, after Magisk shuttered the Module Manager function. It was a great app, perfectly serving my needs....

Will it break any functionality beside android auto?

Any recommendation for an 8-inch tablet? I currently have a Samsung A7 Lite and it’s a decent enough tablet for light tasks but wouldn’t mind getting something with more – everything, other than screen size.

I was up late last night and we know how that goes - rabbit holes. This time I was trying to find some ways to make my phone feel a little snappier and possibly eliminate the issue I was having where my recent apps button stops working until I restart the phone. On Android 13 I found that if I changed to gesture based navigation...

I have the global version and I have doubts that the apps would install without root. Global version is missing functions.
