    Samsung’s new Galaxy F62 has a humongous 7000mAH battery and powerful Exynos 9825 octa-core SoC, 8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 3.0

    Reviewers often berate Samsung for having ads on their devices. I feel they should also extend that same criticism to Google and Pixel devices for ads in the Discover feed

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 04:09 AM PST

    I posted this to r/GooglePixel earlier and it just got downvoted. Are folk actually okay with this?

    These type of ads just started popping up on my Pixel 3 XL.

    I'm not even anywhere near London for goodness sake.

    The feed seems like such a fundamental part of the interface of the device. They might as well throw ads in the notification tray as well while they're at it.

    I genuinely don't understand how having these large obnoxious ads (or any ads in the feed) can be okay, especially given that it's already Google hardware.

    I already purchased this device from Google, and they presumably already track users' browsing habits from using the feed anyway, so why the ads on top as well.

    Samsung is taking Android Updates seriously

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 11:49 AM PST

    We kept hearing about how they are committing to 3 major OS updates but 2 days ago I have experienced it first hand and I must say I am very impressed. I have access to 3 recent Galaxy devices in my household.

    • S20 FE
    • S21+
    • S21 Ultra

    On February 11th all 3 devices have received the February patch along with a performance/bug fix software update.

    I initially checked my device and just asked my friend and his dad to check their phones without expecting that they would have an update ready but they did. All 3 devices are unlocked bought straight from Samsung.com

    Why do you think ASOP killed call Recording?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 06:39 AM PST

    The best answer I can come up with is that they want to eliminate any possibility if being dragged into a lawsuit in cases where someone did not follow applicable wiretapping laws.

    ...Back when I worked at RadioShack, we had a microphone you could suction cup to the back of a phone to pickup the other party and your device. I sold one to a lady in Texas, with her lawyer present, because her Husband/BF was verbally abusing her over the phone. That was legit use if phone recording in a single-party consent state.

    I also was involved in a lawsuit where a company wrongfully withheld my last Paycheck, which violated Federal & State laws. I needed to LEGALLY record calls as eviden (single-party consent state), but I couldn't because in updating my Android version, AOSP officially turned off the work-around apps like ACR utilized.

    What are your thoughts?

    P.S. If anyone else is tired of Android STILL having no call recording, please Star this issue & make your voice heard: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/176344057

    Five powerful email clients for Android (that aren't Gmail)

    We need a good video recording on Android for third-party apps like Instagram, Snapchat...etc

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:32 PM PST

    Android cameras have evolved a lot, It's a shame that third-party apps can't take advantage of their full potential.
    Video recording on an android flagship is like a 2014 iPhone or maybe worse on social media apps. Google has to obligate Big company's devs to use CameraX API o make an alternative because nobody is using it...

    What's your favorite custom ROM?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 02:10 AM PST

    I didn't use that many ROMs, but I think my favorite is crDroid. It has just the right amount of features imo. Also Resurrection Remix because it has a shit ton of features, more than any ROM I've used.
