Re: Android 10
#242I recently bought a Nokia 2.2, which in in the Android One program. Two main reasons: a removable battery and OS updates for two years and security for 3. At this point, there's very little difference between the hardware of flagships and commodity, especially considering the real-world use of smartphones. I mean, is anyone compiling programs on these things or doing anything particularly intensive? Not really. So gi…
I wouldn't mind the lower power that much, but camera is one of my main use cases for phone. Pixel is just so damn good at taking pictures. The cheap phones do have considerably worse cameras, no way around that.

#243Earlier quoted context omitted.
So why not buy a phone that has guaranteed updates? Like a Pixel or one of the Android One series? That's how you vote with your wallet. Android 10 will be deployed to 1st gen Pixels today too.
Your right I used to have a Nexus tablet, it was great and well supported, until it kept running out of space. I require something with a microsd card slot, i travel to a lot of places with zero internet access and any information or media or whatever i need needs to be on my phone (i carry a work laptop, i am not going to carry 2 laptops). When i looked none of the google phones provided that, maybe they do now. Als…
I'm sure you could find an Android One phone with a MicoSD slot. My new Nokia 7.1 has one and is Android One.

#244> Now, you can share your Wi-Fi details with guests via a QR code while keeping your password secure. This is terribly misleading. The format used does contain the password so your password is still being shared: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#WiFi_network_login * https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Barcode-Contents#wi-fi-n... I'm saying misleading because there is an interpretation of that sentence that is…
The feature is a bit more than this. In the WiFi share screen, the network password is actually displayed in plain text as well. It does require a fingerprint/pattern/pin to show anything though.

#245Can they PLEASE get Android Auto to work over bluetooth? I want to wirelessly charge in my car and wirelessly navigate too.

#246As a recent iOS user coming from Android, this almost makes me want to go back. I really do miss the Smart Reply and native Google Assistant features. But alas, iMessage pressure is real in my friend's group.
> But alas, iMessage pressure is real in my friend's group.
I've never had this from my friends. I read about this all the time and all I can think is, "Why would I be friends with people who care about that enough to peer pressure me into using an iPhone?"

What are you trying to use it for exactly, like audio on Linux without Android?
Mostly looking for a cheaper Google Speech-to-Text.
Maybe try Mozilla DeepSpeech.

#249Some of the features sound amazing "sound amplifier" sounds like a hearing aid like function. If it has a low audio delay and good function set to filter noise it could be revolutionary. I was looking for something like this in app form not too long ago. I wonder how gesture navigation will work with some apps. I wonder which features will make it into aosp/lineageos. I'm missing android smartlock in limeageos. If I…
Too bad it the sound amplifier app only works with wired headphones, with Pixel 2 and above not having a headphone jack. So now that they got me to switch over to bluetooth headphones, I have to dig out the USB adapter and an older pair of wired headphones to try it out.
Not sure why some apps such as this hate bluetooth, since this app would be a perfect match with bluetooth earbuds.

#250The website assets are optimized in a rather strange way. The total page weight of ~20MB is huge for mobile. The images are heavily compressed using WebP lossy with quite noticeable blockiness and washed out textures and fine details, but squeezed into 1MB, yet the videos are only lightly compressed, and make up most of the page weight. Had they been compressed with libx264 at good quality, the page weight would be m…
wow... 20MB.. I thought my 5MB app was horrible!@
It is. This is just several more steps up the atrocity ladder. Web site weight has majorly outpaced the growth of the average internet connection speed, and we also live in a world where mobile usage is up and many people have usage caps.
I pay per gigabyte with a prepaid plan for my phone, because I'm not paying $40/month for phone service when I can pay less than half that, so blindly clicking a web page and having 20MB quickly used up sucks.
