Uninstalled Samsung Health today, BIG relief.

I recently linked my Gear S3 watch to my phone and set up Samsung Health to go along with it, however, recently, I found my phone heating up way too much and way too quickly, and my phone becoming EXTREMELY slow, sometimes I'd just use it to check whatsapp and it would be BURNING, and sometimes might even take around a whole minute for the app to boot up. I looked into what was causing it and lo and behold, S Health was running in the background constantly, with 99% RAM usage. I uninstalled it i...

What do you think about the poor optimization of popular apps on Android as compared to their IOS counterparts?

I'm asking this question because personally for me I find it rather annoying to not have popular apps for example Instagram not fully optimized even with my new Pixel 3a XL.

For example, when I view vertical IGTV videos, the videos zoom to fit to my display instead of on IOS where they letterbox it or fit the video within the screen. Does anyone else have this issue as well?

Personally I think it's sad that a lot of companies disregard their app optimization on Android and focus a lot on maki...

PSA for devices getting Android 10 in the near future regarding wifi MACs

By default the OS will randomizes your MAC address each time it connects to a WiFi network, to limit tracking.

This could cause issues for routers that let you see the usage of each device like Google WiFi as each time it would show up as a new device. It could also cause auth issues with hotspots like XfinityWifi where you are remembered and authenticated with your MAC address.

You can change this behavior per network. In the wifi settings you can tap on a network and under "Privacy" change ...

Unpopularopinion: Curved screens are perfect for edge gesture navigation and you guys are missing out on things because of the hivemind.

Listen, I'm all for options and feel like this sub has become a huge circlejerking echo chamber and the gatekeeper of variety.

Take the curved edges for example and how they are collectively hated in this sub without taking into consideration the amazing positives it can unleash, if only you though outside of the box for once and was not held back by the herd mentality.

I feel like many of you have not even tried disabling the bottom navigation altogether and using edge gestures alone for na...
