    Which Reddit app do you use and why? (2020 edition)

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:10 AM PST

    Bringing this back because the last post I saw on this topic was in 2017, which I think could be considered a little outdated.

    I switched to Android around the start of the year and I've been loving it; the customization, the features, the fact that it's not made by Apple, etc. One problem though: I can't find a Reddit app that suits me. I'm sure you know of the various stability and user experience issues that come with the official Reddit app, so I prefer to use alternatives. On IOS, I used Apollo for its simple, intuitive, and user-friendly design. It felt primarily focused on casual browsing and posting, and that suited me. But Apollo isn't on Android, so I ended up using Sync instead, after reading approximately one article on it.

    Sync is... fine, it works, but it doesn't quite work for me. I'm not saying its bad, it just doesn't suit how I use Reddit. So I'd like you to share what version of Reddit you prefer and why.

    (edit: specificity; edit 2: spelling)

    edit 3: Thank you all for your responses, it's been very helpful. The votes have been tallied and the results are:

    Ready - 1

    NoSurf - 1

    RedReader - 2

    Now - 3

    Infinity - 5

    BaconReader - 7

    Slide - 7

    Joey - 7

    Relay - 8

    RIF - 12

    Official App - 13

    Sync - 16

    Boost - 17

    Boost comes out on top as the most popular Reddit app for Android, at least among those who commented. Thank you and goodbye.

    Samsung cops to data breach after unsolicited '1/1' Find my Mobile push notification

    Android has a huge speed limitation when it comes to screen orientation.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 05:58 PM PST

    This has always been a part if any android release, including stock and variations like one ui from samsung. This issue mostly affects games and video apps.

    Any time theres a screen orientation change, an animation must occur before the screen updates. Theres always been a delay before the animation starts, I dont know why, but this has always been part of android since almost the beginning of the os.

    For example: in one ui, samsung added their own unique fluid animation when opening an app. Theres also a fluid animation when closing an app using gestures, similar to an iphone without a home button.

    However, when you open an app that immediately starts in landscape, there is no fluid opening animation, because it is interrupted by the standard android orientation animation (.5 sec delay, then animation). This is not much of a problem for opening because the app has to load anyways, but it isn't fluid at all and ruins the seamless and fluid experience of the animation, making the os feel just a little bit buggy and sluggish.

    It becomes a problem for closing or leaving landscape apps though. Samsung has a similar gesture function to iPhones and show an animation of the app getting smaller as you drag up and out of the app into the home screen, which the home screen is portrait only by default (unless you have rotate to landscape enabled, which most people don't) That animation shows in landscape, but when the animation is finished, the delay starts and then theres that signature android rotation animation, again making the phone feel choppy.

    This is a problem because if you're trying to quickly close out of a landscape app and open up a different app, you have to wait a little longer before the screen changes and then you can open up the app you want. This causes a very sluggish experience, no matter how small it is. This is shown very well in everythingapplepro's video. You can see that as he swipes out of CoD mobile, it takes a second before he can open minecraft because the screen is trying to go back to it's original state. You can also see how iOS has a seamless experience because its designed to have no required animation before a screen rotation.

    If there was a seamless animation similar to ios, I would think android would be a better, more fluid experience.

    I hope this is a discussion starter.

    Edit: it seems like Oneplus is the only maker who was able to figure out and fix this issue with their OxygeoOS.

    Also this issue has been brought up before, I just didn't know.

    European Commission works on plan to force device makers to use replaceable batteries in smartphones sold in EU

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 02:07 AM PST

    Source (Dutch who got it from Dutch financial newspaper who have a leak of the plans): https://tweakers.net/nieuws/163786/europese-commissie-wil-vervangbare-accu-bij-elektronica-afdwingen.html

    In the spirit of the circular economy, the European Commission wants mandatory replaceable batteries in electronics such as smartphones sold in the EU. What do you guys think?

    Seems pretty positive to me. I think you can still fit water damage protection while also having a replaceable battery. Not having a replaceable battery seems to me to be mainly about planned obsolescence rather than high cost for manufacturers.

    Or do you think smartphone developers will just skip the European market to avoid this legislation?
