    Factory Reset Protection (FRP) needs improving!

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:08 PM PDT

    Miniature rant so my apologies..

    However a family member of mine recently had a device stolen off them, we figured her photos & videos would be safe as the device was password protected, fingerprint protected and she has a comprehensive password for her G-mail... Boy where we wrong.

    Little to the knowledge of the thief, he was on crystal clear CCTV and she knew his parents, after a heated exchange, upon getting the phone back, the phone looked nothing like hers, different wallpaper, different passcode, font, etc.

    Turns out he was able to simply (and when I say simply I mean literally in under 6 minutes from a YouTube video), was able to boot to recovery, factory reset the device then follow the YouTube tutorial he had found on how to bypass the FRP & boom he was done, in a matter of minutes.

    TL;DR, Factory Reset Protection is meant to do just that but alas, she lost everything, lesson learned, it's just a shame to see the same issues plaguing Android years later...

    Edit: I realize at the point of the factory reset from the recovery menu she'd more than likely lost everything anyway but the point is, without reporting the IMEI, he was quite easily able to keep the device as his own.

    OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro Spec Leak

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:20 AM PDT

    Been posting Android game reviews on r/AndroidGaming for 40+ months now - just built an app for Curated and Filterable Android games and reviews as a way to find actual great games [Looking for Beta Testers & Reviewers]

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:17 AM PDT

    I'll cut to the chase.

    I started posting mobile game reviews on r/AndroidGaming in 2017, and ever since those weekly "tl;dr Android game recommendations" took off, I've been been thinking about a way to make it easier to discover actual great Android games, and filter them so it's easier to find exactly the game you're looking for.

    3 years later; here we are. It's very much a grassroots app, and we've just launched it in closed beta.

    You can pre-register for it on Google Play (which is a huge help): Pre-register on Google Play here

    And if you want to help beta-test, shoot me a DM here on Reddit :)

    ________

    If you're interested in why I'm creating MiniReview, what it does, and how it works, read on below - used bullet-points for easier readability:

    WHAT IS MINIREVIEW?

    • An app and platform for highly curated mobile games. It's a place for mobile gamers to find ACTUAL great games with just a few clicks and evaluate them before downloading
    • All games are reviewed and rated
    • All games have custom screenshots (no more promo images) and videos
    • All games are filterable based on multiple manually collected datapoints, like offline/online playability, screen orientation (landscape/portrait), monetization model etc.
    • But more than just the raw features, MiniReview is a community of mobile gamers actually passionate about mobile gaming!

    WHAT IS OUR OBJECTIVE?

    • Review and highlight the best mobile games
    • Allow anyone to find exactly the games they're looking for through smart and unparalleled sorting and filtering options
    • With MiniReview, we wanted to create a home for truly passionate mobile gamers. In many ways, it's the app we've always wished existed, and now it's finally here. It's a place by gamers for gamers, a place where mobile games are properly dissected, analyzed, and organized

    WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?

    • We're currently in closed beta testing
    • These are some of the things you can do in the app already:
    • Find specific games based on detailed filtering options
    • Get notified when new reviews matching your favorite game genres release
    • Rate games and see what others think about 'em
    • Add games to your favorites' list and share it with your friends and family
    • Participate in promotions and giveaways (we hope to do a lot of these in the future - especially featuring small-to-medium sized devs)

    WHAT IS MISSING / WHAT IS COMING NEXT?

    • More reviews of portrait-mode games as well as paid/premium games
    • If things take off and people enjoy the app, we'd love to invest time and money into adding additional features, like:
    • A website version of the app + an iOS version
    • A re-design of the main "feed" to make it more dynamic
    • Nightmode, Multiple reviews per game, Additional filters and sorting options, Improved search functionality, Server optimizations, and lots more!

    WHAT WE NEED?

    • Feedback on the app and its features
    • Reviewers! Both text and video reviewers of mobile games. If you love to play and review premium games in particular, we'd love to hear from you - but we're looking for any type of mobile game reviewer. Send me a DM here on Reddit if interested.
    • To expand our network of developers - do you know any we should say hi to? Ask them to email us at contact@minireview.io

    Cheap Xiaomi 108mp Camera vs The S20 Ultra? - TEARDOWN!

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:18 AM PDT

    Soli is pretty useful

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 12:24 AM PDT

    I realise that the full potential of what Soli could be was extremely over-hyped by Google, with only the ability to control music (basically) on the Pixel 4.... But it's actually useful now.

    I'm not sure if recent updates have made it way more reliable, but I'm hitting the sweet spot about 95% of the time. I figured I was just used to it, but even my work mates were able to use it with their first try, this was not happening when I first got this.

    Now I use it everyday while my phone is on my desk, or when I am in the gym or cooking. I think it's still got work, but it's definitely reached a point of being actually useful.

    Has anyone else noticed this jump in accuracy? Is anyone using it more now?

    TIL You can batch rename files on Solid Explorer

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:10 AM PDT

    https://imgur.com/a/rLdrG5e

    Just select all the files and tap the pencil icon to bring up this menu

    It supports regex, patterns and simple character replacment throughout. All these years I never knew this existed.

    Also btw, fuck imgur for making it damn impossible for people to upload images without using their app. It's a frickin image hosting website. Use this direct link to reach their upload page - https://imgur.com/upload
