    9to5Google: "Android 12 Beta reveals model numbers for Pixel 6 family, including foldable 'Passport'"

    TIL Android now has the most accurate GPS in urban areas with the help of 3D models and AI.

    Posted: 19 May 2021 02:42 PM PDT

    There is what's called the "wrong-side-of-the-street position error" which has remained a hard unsolved problem in the past 10 years. It's a GPS error that occurs when you are in a city and the GPS thinks you are on the other side of the street.

    Apparently, Google solved this issue recently and they were the only ones who could do it thanks to their access to 3D city models and AI expertise. The update is now rolled out to most Android phones running Android 8 and newer via Google Play Services. So yes, Android now has better GPS accuracy than iOS. Google has a blog post on this if you want to read more about it.

    I understand that being the developer of a popular open source project, people are longing for an explanation. However, the speculation and conspiracy theories are getting out of hand, there are even attempts to sabotage my employment in the name of "saving the community"

    This is putting extreme strain on me mentally, so let me get the facts straight: nobody really knows exactly how things will go in the future. I tweeted an assumption caused by miscommunication; I was informed it to be non factual; I deleted the tweet. That's all, really.

    So please, PLEASE, put down your tinfoil hats and pitchforks, and allow me to handle the situation privately. I will update you once there is a conclusion. Nobody is hired to kill off a project. I did not join Google for money. And of course, I have not betrayed the community.

    The Xperia 1 ii is a superb phone (ex iPhone user)

    Posted: 19 May 2021 02:20 PM PDT

    Very impressed. My point of reference is the iPhone 11 pro/XS Max.

    I think the Xperia is really overlooked, and I can't see why. The body is incredibly light for the size, it fits in the hand so much better than the cumbersome iPhone - sidesense is genius for one handed use too.

    Headphone jack. Now the sound on this phone is something special, I've A/B it with my Iphone and bluetooth headphones are about 20% louder on the Sony, and better quality. Sony actually put effort into the audio output and it's very noticable.

    Photo Pro is superb. Actual control over your images is a breath of fresh air.

    I just can't believe these aren't one of the most purchased smartphones right now, it's definitely better than my iPhone imo.

    Four Google smart home updates that Matter

    Some useful ADB commands and one-liners for changing permissions

    Posted: 19 May 2021 08:27 PM PDT

    While setting up a new Galaxy S21 I made some ADB one liners to perform a few useful functions.

    All commands are to be executed in an ADB shell. If you don't know how to get one you probably should not be messing with ADB. If used incorrectly ADB can break essential device processes.

    ​

    Some useful commands:

    List enabled packages:

    pm list packages -e

    List all packages:

    pm list packages -a

    Print a large amount of info for a package:

    dumpsys package <package>

    Revoke specific permission from specific package:

    pm revoke <package> <permission>

    Uninstall package:

    If the first command doesn't work then use second

    pm uninstall <package> pm uninstall --user 0 <package>

    Reinstall built in package:

    If this doesn't work then it isn't built in

    pm install-existing <package>

    Disable package:

    pm disable-user <package>

    Enable package:

    pm enable <package>

    ​

    Some useful one-liners:

    List all granted permissions for all enabled packages:

    for pkg in `pm list packages -e | cut -d: -f2`; do res=$(dumpsys package $pkg | grep runtime\ permissions: -A100 | grep enabledComponents: -B100 | grep granted=true | cut -d: -f1); [ -z "$res" ] || echo -e "\nPkg:$pkg\n$res"; done

    List all granted permissions for specific package:

    echo "Package:";read pkg;echo "Permissions:";dumpsys package $pkg | grep runtime\ permissions: -A100 | grep enabledComponents: -B100 | grep granted=true | cut -d: -f1

    Revoke specific permission from all packages (enabled and not enabled):

    \* This has the potential to break things so be careful.*

    echo "Permission:"; read perm;echo "Removing '$perm':";for pkg in `pm list packages -a | cut -d: -f2`; do pm revoke $pkg $perm 2>/dev/null && echo $pkg; done
