  • I already gave up. Don't get me wrong GrapheneOS is great but it's getting harder and harder to keep working around security measures employed by my banking and government apps. Plus when my Pixel's screen broke and the price to fix it was the price of a new one I just said fuck it and went back to Samsung.

  • What keyboard do people find useful these days?

    Jump

  • Tbh nothing comes even close to Gboard for me. The layout, the autocorrect, the simplicity, the swipe typing. Everything is perfect.

  • Which TV show do you watch again and again?

    Jump

  • I watch Friends when I just want to laugh. When I want more serious stuff I watch HIMYM. God I love those shows.

  • Anyone else getting really sick of Gemini assistant?

    Jump

  • I think it's just fine now. It's gotten a lot better since it first came out.

  • What are your thoughts on Louis Rossmann?

    Jump

  • He fights the good fight but I don't like his videos very much because he's very whiny and annoying.

  • Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?

    Jump

  • Tigers are just big cats.

  • Where do you find wallpapers for your phone?

    Jump

  • Theres an app on Play Store called Backdrops. Beautiful wallpapers. Highly recommend. The Pro version is 5$.

  • Probably preaching to the choir here, but headphone jacks are really a must, and USB-c adapters have their limits

    Jump

  • I initially held on to the headphone jack but nowadays I've completely stopped caring. My Galaxy Buds 2 Pros are pretty dang good even by audiophile standards and the convenience of TWS is quite nice. For my wired IEMs the 9$ Apple dongle works just fine with my Galaxy S24+. Nowadays some IEMS also have USB-C version and I suspect that this trend will continue. Like it or not that jack will eventually become a thing of the past on the vast majority of consumer electronics, not just on phones.

  • Meta Risks Mass Exodus: Is #HelloQuitMeta the Next Viral Movement?

    Jump

  • Y'all would be surprised how many Facebook users there are outside of the west. In my home country of Vietnam Facebook is like Twitter+Reddit+more. It's the most popular social media app. Everyone is on Facebook. The government posts news on Facebook, academic institutions post news on Facebook. Everyone posts official news on Facebook. Hobbyist discussion happens on Facebook. Buying and selling stuff - also Facebook. Wanna watch short form/long form content? Also Facebook. Facebook Messenger is also the second most popular form of communication. But it is to us what iMessage is to Americans. If you're not on Messenger, fat chance nobody will talk to you. There's Zalo which is technically in first place but Zalo is where the Vietnamese government gets to exert its control and it's mostly to conduct business and talk to boomers. It's that bad. Facebook is also very popular in other Asian countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Phillipines, although I'm not sure to what degree.

  • Gboard starts rolling out ‘Undo’ button on Android

    Jump

  • Nice. I love Gboard. One of the few things Google nails.

  • What are some underrated Android features that users should try?

    Jump

  • Some small but useful OneUI features for you Samsung users'

    • Dual Bluetooth audio: Samsung devices can stream audio to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time which is very cool when you have friends who want to listen in but don't want to share earbuds. I use this very often.
    • One time passwords for wifi hotspot: Samsung devices can create a otp for hotspot that only works once and stops working the next time you turn on hotspot. Very useful feature that I use all the time too.
    • Bypass charging: If you game with your phone, search for game booster setting in advanced setting and turn on Pause USB PD charging to use bypass charging and save on battery health
    • Turn off UltraHDR: On OneUI 7, turn off SuperHDR in advanced setting to stop the screen from brightening whenever you scroll through an UltraHDR video (fuck you for this useless flashbang feature Google and fuck you Apple for defaulting to HDR recording)

  • What are your top android apps?

    Jump

  • I haven't seen anyone mention Gboard yet so I'll say Gboard. Best keyboard on Android.

  • Native PDF support is coming to Chrome for Android, and you can try it now

    Jump

  • Y'all are so cynical around here geez.

  • Who are 2024's best phone case manufacturers?

    Jump

  • My gotos for the last 3 years have been Spigen Ringke and Nilkin.

  • I really want to like Lemmy

    Jump

  • It's still a tiny echo chamber like it was a couple months ago when I cut back on Lemmy use. It can get pretty repetitive and boring to read. I came back to Reddit because the user base was larger and there were more perspectives I could hear from.

  • Query regarding charging speeds

    Jump

  • Some devices taper off their fast charging faster than others. It doesn't have to be at 80%. Just as an example you can see the charts in the charging review for the S24 Ultra here: https://www.chargerlab.com/charging-review-of-samsung-s24-ultra/. A fun fact is that since Samsung 45W tapers off so much there isn't much difference compared to their 25W charging. The difference is 10mins at best. Sometimes the 45W can be just a hair slower even.

  • Five years later, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are finally coming to more Android phones

    Jump

  • The 8 has a shitty optical sensor. You've gotta try those Samsung ultrasonic sensors or those on the Pixel 9s. Way different experience. Just a light tap and it unlocks.

  • Five years later, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are finally coming to more Android phones

    Jump

  • I'm gonna have to say no to that. I love my ultrasonic sensor. It works when wet and is in a way more reachable location (the screen). No need to reach behind the phone or stretch your finger to unlock, no need to lift your phone when it's on a table. The success rate is basically identical and it's lightning fast, even faster than a physical sensor. The final perk is it doesn't create a large circle opening on the back of a case so the back of your phone is totally smooth save for the camera.

  • I'm sure the next one is lurking in the shadows though

    Hi, I'm back with an update! My boy is almost done with the treatment! He's doing really well! One more shot left!

    Went to the vet yesterday since my boy was acting weird. Turns out he was showing very mild signs of paralysis.

    He got so comfortable in my legs he flopped over and fell asleep LOL. I really want to move but I don't want to wake him up so I guess this is my life now.
