Seems like Xiaomi is heavily clamping down on bootloader unlocking in China. Global versions also have a new restriction: no updates without locked bootloader.

Hi all,...

It’s interesting to see OnePlus’ first foldable. There’s a video review of an early sample in the linked article: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWclrhYkRn0...

I’m curious if anyone’s come across a list of “power” or “professional” apps for Android. I mean things like Termux, Audio Evolution, or PowerDirector, which provide functionality that you would normally need a computer for. I’m being purposefully broad so that I can discover more cool apps, but generally I mean...

This has the worst camera I have had on a phone. The front camera claims to be 16MP, and it may as well be a potato. It was a $400 phone. Surely there is a similar phone spec wise that has a better camera? I take photos of cannabis flowers and plants, and they almost always look muddled.

Google Messages’ sent text editing feature has now begun rolling out to beta users, indicating that stable rollout is around the corner.

I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google’s allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the...

I’ve been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means...

Using international here as a stand-in for non US or Canada models. Specifically looking for use cases of the Europe / Africa / Middle East / Oceania model.

I like carrying around one USBC to C cable for my devices, but I don’t want to carry around a USBC to A cable for other ports. Is there a dongle that takes a USBC cable and converts one end into USBA? I need it to support at least 15W.

Looking to start keeping some daily notes. I don’t mind paying for the app, as long as it’s one time and not subscription. Bonus points it it on f-Droid.

I’ve been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so....
