    Facebook has silently removed the ability to use Messenger with a phone number

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 06:55 PM PST

    Here it is, confirmation straight from their Help Center:

    Can I sign up for Messenger if I don't have a Facebook account?

    No. You'll need to create a Facebook account to use Messenger.

    It was nice while it lasted, but now I can't login to my Facebook-less Messenger account since it keeps telling me my account is restricted. So I'm dead in the water, basically.

    Funnily enough, the Messenger Lite app still says "You will not be creating a Facebook Profile." Lo and behold, when you press create account, it sends you to this page.

    Fluid Navigation Gestures brings me back to the early days of Android

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 08:44 PM PST

    So hear me out:

    It's 2011 and Android is but a prepubescent buggy mess of what it is today. New swap scripts were coming out everyday on XDA, Honeycomb had just been released, App2SD was revolutionizing the storage conundrum on Android and life was good.

    Fast forward a year and few months, and this little app called PIE Control was released on the Android Marketplace, and let me tell ya, this little app all but changed the game when it came to navigating around your device. I remember vividly showing all of my friends that would clown me for having an Android during those days all of the things I could do with one swipe that would take them multiple navigations of several different menus to accomplish. It was amazing at that time, and I truly felt like using an Android allowed me to do so much stuff iPhone and Blackberry users could only dream of.

    As the Android platform has grown and evolved, I feel that the design choices that have been made have been catering to the basic user, and I totally get that power users make up a tiny percentage of the market, it has just been kinda sad to see the different companies devolve into just copying each other. It feels as if the UX of Android phones has turned away from that design ethos of delivering software that allows you to use hardware in ways other phone manufacturers would scramble to copy.

    After I installed Fluid Navigation Gestures, it finally feels like I can zip around my device with purpose and somewhat of a sense of pizazz I'd say; I think that the navigation of your device is one of the most important aspects of good mobile software, and I am very thankful that apps like FNG are still being developed.

    Mock services would be nice

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 08:18 AM PST

    Android has improved somewhat in fine graining resource grants but it would be great if I could grant apps access to mock services (fake contact list, arbitrary gps location etc) so that I can use apps but maintain a modicum of privacy.

    Pixel 4 XL since release, picked up a OP 7T a few days ago...

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 10:59 AM PST

    Honestly there's no discernible difference between the two, based on how I use them. I'm not the type who constantly attempts to bottleneck the CPU, or use so many apps at the same time in order to test the limits of the RAM.

    They're both fast, smooth scrolling, good data speeds (Verizon) and good sound quality while making phone calls. Though I'd say the 4 XL is a notch above the 7T in terms of overall sound quality on calls and external speakers.

    The camera is hit or miss on both devices. Portrait mode is far superior on the Pixel, but the 7T has macro mode. I tried out Gcam but since I'm not going to root, I can't access the full hardware functions of the camera while using Google's software on the 7T.

    So I've decided to return the 7T. After all of the comments on these two devices, I seem to be one of the few who have owned them both and chose AGAINST the 7T.
