This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on. [link] [comments] | ||

| 3 Samsung Tips/Tricks you might not know Posted: 27 Feb 2021 07:12 PM PST If you haven't already, spend some time and dig through all your settings if you own a Samsung device (or any other for that matter). You've probably heard of the Good Lock apps suite, but this post is going to list some stuff you might not know 1 Dual Messenger but with almost any app (Settings -> Advanced Features) If you weren't aware, Dual Messenger lets you create a clone of a messenging app so you can sign into a second account. Unfortunately, the list of supported apps is small. A possible workaround is just using Secure Folder, but they took away the ability to add Secure Folder app shortcuts on your homescreen/app drawer. Fortunately, you can just use adb to install almost any app you want. If you don't already have an app enabled for Dual Messenger, you're going to need to do that first. Now run the following commands: You'll get a few outputs, the one you want to focus on is the user that mentions Dual App. Here's an example of an output: Take note of the number that preceeds "DUAL_APP", in this case, 95 Now exit the shell (by typing exit) Download or extract the desired apk, copy the file to the folder containing adb, and run the following command: With this workaround, you will have to manually grant permissions using the built in permission manager (the one that lists all the permissions as well as which apps are allowed/denied). From a specific permission for the app you just installed, you can tweak all of the permissions by following the "See all <app name> Permissions" option I'm not 100% sure how updates are handled, so you'll need to see if the cloned app is updated together with the original, or if you need to pull out adb to update the cloned app 2 Call and Message Continuity with 2 phones instead of phone and tablet (Settings -> Advanced Features -> Call and text on other devices) Note: You may need both devices to be on Android 10 for this to work properly So this feature lets you sync calls and texts over WiFi/Data with a supported phone and tablet, letting you call or text on the tablet. If you have two supported phones and want to sync calls and texts between them, it's just one adb command away. On the device you want the calls and texting functionality, run the following command: Now just run the setup process with both phones 3 Galaxy Labs Galaxy Labs is an experimental suite of apps that provide added functionality, similar to Good Lock. It was recently updated with two new modules, Thermal Guardian and Memory Guardian. As far as I know, you need a device with One UI 3.x for these two new modules. Thermal Guardian lets you adjust the temperature at which your phone starts to throttle. It also monitors the temperature of your device and displays it on a graph, so you can view when your phone got warm/hot and why (it tells you what was responsible) Memory Guardian lets you view detailed RAM usage information, including how much RAM is being consumed exactly per app. It also lets you clear apps from memory. There are 4 other modules that are supported for devices on One UI 2.x: File Guardian (lets you restore deleted items, not useful since a trash function exists in the My Files app) Battery Guardian (basically Device Care but with a few extra options for users with One UI 3.x) Battery Tracker (very detailed battery usage stats) App Booster (optimizes all apps on your device for better performance. It apparently uses the Dex2Oat compiler for all of your apps) Chances are, you won't find these apps in the Galaxy Store, so you'll need to sideload them individually (APKMirror is a good place to grab them). Make sure to install Galaxy Labs Agent in addition to your desired apps + Galaxy Labs [link] [comments] | ||

As per rumors A52 has Snapdragon 720G/750G for its 4G/5G variant, 90Hz (4G variant) / 120Hz (5G variant) refresh rate + water and dust resistance. [link] [comments] | ||

| Correction: S21 haptics are excellent, but would be improved by moving actuator location Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:35 PM PST I previously briefly tried out the S21 phones in a store and made a post saying that they felt weaker than previous models; you can read that post here. I got some feedback from people more familiar with Samsung phones than me and I have since received my S21 Ultra (I got navy so it took a long time). I can now say that the haptics are actually excellent once you increase the vibration intensity in settings. Additionally, the Samsung keyboard is lower intensity than Gboard. The haptics are stronger at the top of the phone, so I do think it would be an improvement to move it down towards the bottom where you're typing and swiping and holding the phone, and I think this is the reason that the Note 20 felt stronger to me when I tried them side-by-side. And it does have haptic feedback when moving the cursor, which I couldn't feel in the store with the intensity turned down. But I'm most impressed by settings sliders (not just in Samsung apps but also in Google and others), which when you tap on them feel like the slider is moving across the phone, and turning on vibrate ring mode feels like what Nintendo described with the ice cubes shaking in their Joy-Con controllers when they first showed them off in a video. This is a huge improvement over the linear actuator in my Pixel 2 XL. It's tight, strong after adjusting the settings, and Samsung's software implementation with the various different effects adds a lot to the experience for me (perhaps these were created by Cirrus Logic, who makes the haptic hardware, but I don't know if any other Android phones are implementing these vibration profiles for toggles, etc).
