Posted: 20 Nov 2020 09:05 AM PST Hi /r/Android, Long time poster on this sub - you may have seen in around in previous AMAs centered around particular devices, or in threads answering questions about particular topics. I've been with XDA since late 2015 and became the lead Managing Editor in early 2019, so I've been in charge of the news and editorial content on the site for nearly 2 years now. If you have any questions about Android, mobile devices, the smartphone industry, tech media, etc. feel free to ask away!

--- Here is a Random Mobile Game Naming Generator/u/BDMayhem created the generator back in the day in response to my original topic, in which I only analyzed 1,000 games. However, it was just UPDATED, so go ahead & give it a go! Here is my data via a google sheet, all opened sourced for you guys. Complete w/ the initial gaming list. I used this platform to do the counting - it also generated this nifty image List has been updated, due to flawed math regarding the "of" sequences. [link] [comments] | ||

| Paying for gas using the new Google Pay app is actually awesome Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:38 AM PST I hate swiping my credit card at gas stations due to the constant issue with potential card skimmers. I've been trying to limit the stations I use to the ones that have tap-to-pay using Google Pay, but those are few and far between in my area. So yesterday I decided to try out the new gas paying method in the redone Google Pay app. It actually is a great experience and worked really well. It seems to work with ExxonMobile and Shell stations in my area, but I'm sure there are other brands. The process is easy - you pull up to the pump, load the app and select your station and then the pump you're at, then pick the card you want to use from Google Pay. You'll see the pump activate and then voila, you are good to go. I hope this takes off with more brands because it really is easy to use and something everyone should be doing to prevent credit card theft. [link] [comments] | ||
| PSA: Calling UK Numbers from Google Home is going away in December Posted: 21 Nov 2020 04:15 AM PST Another service bites the dust. If you were using your Google Home to call local UK numbers, that's going away in a few weeks. Affects UK Google Home. Calls using Duo on your Google Home will still be possible.

| Posted: 20 Nov 2020 09:07 AM PST I hate the idea my card could skimmed at gas stations but this new feature makes its so I never have to think of that again. You just enter the pump number you are at and it just works. [link] [comments] | ||
| Did anyone else know that you can skip all YouTube ads? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 12:20 AM PST You just need to press the info symbol in the bottom left corner and click 'don't show this ad'. If you do this, it will skip the ad even if it is "unskipable". [link] [comments] | ||
| Google Pixel 5 speakerphone issues Posted: 20 Nov 2020 10:46 AM PST I updated the phone app earlier this week on a Pixel 5 and the speakerphone quality went to shit. Everyone I talked to via speakerphone said I sounded underwater. I uninstalled the update and cleared the app storage as mentioned in this post. The speakerphone works great again! I was able to duplicate and fix the issue again so the problem seems to come from the phone app update. [link] [comments] | ||

| A Critical Look at Android Email Apps & Clients [Poll][Discussion][Reviews] Posted: 20 Nov 2020 06:16 AM PST Hello friends. I have had a dilemma for a year or so now regarding email clients on Android. They all seem to have issues and sacrifices. So I decided to test out the mainstream ones that I would trust with my email stuff. Let me start off by acknowledging a couple things:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alright, lets get to the email clients I have used and tested.
Below is a breakdown with Pros, Cons, Notes of each client, Screenshots of the Clients (Home page/Inbox, settings, and maybe and extra page or two), and a link to where to get the email client. Testing Methodology(?)
Gmail I have no screenshots, everyone has this app basically. Find it on the play store or already on your phone. Pros:
Cons
Notes: Gmail app works rather well. However, it is not exactly productivity focused or "ground breaking" like some other apps (Inbox, Spark, Outlook's Focused Inbox Default) A couple glaring issues I have with it were covered in cons but it does not let you change notification actions. I do not archive emails, I mark them as read or I delete them. Along with this, I cannot add an email account that has any Google integration without it adding that google or gsuite account to my device. For example, I cannot just add my school and work email without them being added to my Android device and thus removing access to some features on the device like assistant 2.0. Blackberry Inbox (used to be Hub) Screenshots| Link to BlackBerry Manager Pros:
Cons:
Notes: This is a great all around Hub for your notifications from both email and social media/group messaging apps. It has weird screen formatting issues and for those with cutouts and notches, it can look weird. Sony Email Screenshots| Link to ApkMirror Pros:
Cons:
Notes:
I got this to work finally, I had to make it think it was a gmail based account first then finally sign in by changing information. Outlook Pros:
Cons:
Notes: Outlook gets the job done. The UI is meh, I dont like some of their choices for features. Samsung Email No screenshots as of right now | Play Store Link Pros:
Cons
Notes: I am not a fan of the design of this app but it is not bad by any means. It is Samsung device exclusive. I do not like the auto default to calendar syncing. LG Email No screenshots | ApkMirror Link Pros: Pending Cons: Pending Notes: Peniding AOSP/LineageOS Email Client Pros
Cons:
Notes: This client is the simplest out of all of them. Not many customization options, straight forward setup. Unless you use a tweaked version, it doesn't natively support theme changing with device theme change. Nine Pros:
Cons:
Notes: I personally don't think we should have to pay for such a simple app. If the service was decoupled from usage of the app, I would be okay with it. But a lot of features are locked behind a paywall. The material design is starting feel out of date considering you are paying for this. K-9 Email Pros:
Cons:
Notes: I love the fact this is open source! But the primary app is very out of date. I really do not like the look of it and it plays weirdly with notches and hole punches. Fair Email Pros:
Cons:
Aqua Pros:
Cons:
Notes: The constant annoying for the paid version which is already at a high price is a complete deal breaker for me. The fact that it pins it to your signature is absurd. Spike Pros:
Cons:
Notes: I am impartial to this UI, but I wish it would have its own design following material instead of a Facebook and IOS mix. It doesn't look that good for me and is too busy. It does have a lot of features though. Spark Pros:
Cons:
Notes: I really like Spark, I have hesitation of its security though. It looks really good and is pretty simple. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional Email Clients from you guys! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PollThis is a Google Forms poll just to get an idea of what you guys use, what you like about it, and what you wish would be improved about your chosen client. If you have not input for likes/dislikes, just write "n/a" I left options for people who use two email clients (if you use more, just write about your preferred ones I suppose) but they are not marked as required. I am not doing anything with this form other than just showing you guys what others voted and using the data to update the pros and cons lists of the email clients. It will be anonymous.

| Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:58 AM PST Don't you think guys is that Samsung is pushing Android hard more than google ? What i mean Samsung doing a lot of work on Android more than google them self like they step back behind samsung in every move and let me wonder because google own android... I know a lot of you guys maybe hate samsung but with the one ui samsung really change my mind i tried stock Android and after that i tried iOS and then moved to one ui i found samsung is the real competitor to apple in every aspects The one ui is rich with feature and you can notice that only by daily use and it's very small details that will change the game I don't think google is doing good with Android they focus on their service more than the OS What do you think guys ?
