What are some cool useful things that android can do, that iPhones can't?

I been using picture in picture with YouTube for the longest time, but got tired of how the video player was so small. Then I remembered multi window was a thing. Now as I'm typing this I have the a full video across the top of my screen while doing other stuff. Are there other things that on android that are cool and useful?...

Samsung to adopt bigger AAD for Galaxy S11

Main reason why I love Android: The ability to customize your phone to look and function exactly how you want it

[Example: My set up](https://i.imgur.com/nEoSd4B.gifv)

* All animations set to 0.5 through developer mode

* Nova launcher with custom icons, shapes, app drawer, colors, and functionality

* Good Lock with a custom quick panel for transparency, swipe style task changer

* One hand operation+ for edge gestures (home, back, app tasks, and long swipes for quick panels) instead of bottom navigation gestures

Android makes everything feel so free....

I just hope Samsung doesn't adopt the 90' waterfall screens

I got to try it on the Vivo Nex 3 and man , it just doesn't feel good , it makes me not know how to hold the phone in a comfy position.
While I feel like the curves on my S10+ are way subtler and feel a lot slicker too.
Idk , might just be me but even the Note line has better curves with it's boxier shape...

[PSA] Found a workaround for Audiobooks skipping the first word(s) on Bluetooth

Disclaimer! I do not own or have any relationship with the dev(s) behind Relaxio. I just found it perfect for my needs and wanted to share this easy solution.

Long Story Short: Quiet white noise generator while audiobook is playing so speaker doesn't go to sleep

App I used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.relaxio.relaxio

(Was the first one I found that had the noise volumes separated from the system media volume)

Can the technology behind the 'Next Gen Google Assistant' be applied to apps or the Android OS?

Few quotes about the tech:

> Today, we’ve reached a new milestone. Building upon advancements in recurrent neural networks, we developed completely new speech recognition and language understanding models, bringing 100GB of models in the cloud down to less than half a gigabyte. With these new models, the AI that powers the Assistant can now run locally on your phone. This breakthrough enabled us to create a next generation Assistant that processes speech on-device at nearly zero latency, with t...

PSA: Huawei will allow Bootloader Unlocking on the Mate 30/Pro - you can literally flash Gapps to solve the Google problem

> Huawei here is likely to resist as little as possible in terms of limitations as to what users will be able to do with their phones, and he also confirmed that users will be able to unlock the bootloaders for the Mate 30 and 30 Pro.

From the recent [Anandtech article](https://www.anandtech.com/show/14887/huawei-launches-mate-30-mate-30-pro)....

PSA: If you've been getting random pop up ads or Chrome opening randomly with strange websites, check if you have the app "APK Extractor Lite" installed and immediately uninstall it if you do.

TL;DR: App seems to be the cause of this, removed from play store.

A few weeks ago after I updated all of my apps Chrome randomly started opening with strange news sites. I tried apps to track pop ups but they were meant for app based pop ups vs open in browser pop ups. All of the times Chrome was opened, the app in question wasn't being used at all. No prompt to open in Chrome, just opened instantly.

I frantically started searching for solutions until I decided to go through my apps for bad r...

I don't think most of you know what this phone is. I saw it in a YouTube video the other day and thought it was amazing. Nobody knows this phones exists so I'm trying to talk about it (I'm not sponsoring or advertising, just thought it was a cool product.)

It has:
removable battery (~3000 mAh)
completely user replaceable parts (camera module, headphone jack module, usb C module, speaker module, etc)
midrange specs (Snapdragon 600 series) + 4GB of RAM
they include all you need - a single screwdr...

Game Progress - backup to Google Play Games

Why do so few games on the Play store utilise the available backup progress to cloud through play games??

Restoring app data is a general nightmare on android/ arc on chromeos

But it there is something there that could make life so much easier for users & it seems to be down to whether devs can be bothered to implement it or not

Think over time I've installed 15 games on my phone and literally about 2 of those are able to save progress to Play Games

Would be good if Play Store made this comp...

The share menu is still bad

Not trying to make this sound like a rant but the share menu still worships googles text messages app above all other apps. If you have ever used messages one time be prepared for google messages to be your only direct share option. I just do not understand why manual control of the share menu is still not an option. Whatever state the share menu is in can stay default but I just want the option to choose which ones come up at the top. Sharing from youtube I can be assured signal messages is at ...
