After Android 10 update I started enjoying using Android again

Hello, Android Pie on my Oneplus 6 device was laggy, micro-stutters there and there used to piss me off, scrolling was laggy, Ram management was really bad also. I tried switching to IOS, bought Iphone 7 Plus for 300 USD (it was my first Iphone ever so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it) I was seriously considering selling my Oneplus 6 device but decided to wait for Android 10 update. IOS is very well polished OS, its performance is very consistent, no random micro stutters which used t...

Activating Airpods Pro noise cancellation on Android

Many who have been looking to buy the Airpods Pro are question themselves on whether you could toggle the noise cancellation on android, the simple answer is:

**Yes**,

they don't actually need the iphone to toggle the noise cancellation, you can activate it from the Airpods pro itself by holding the stem until it makes a little chime and you'll know which mode your on because the noise cancellation is very noticeable.


Unfortunately, no app currently supports changing the noise cancellatio...

State of FM radios in phones now

In their infinite greed, manufacturers blocked the FM radio for years, even though it's such a useful emergency feature.

And now, with the removal of the jack, the antenna is gone too

I know that the recent Snapdragon phones have FM radios enabled now but as more and more OEMs ( let's face it - Samsung) removing the jack. How would it work?

Does the note 10 radio work with the 3.5mm dongle connected?...

Would You Pay for System Updates Rather then Upgrading Every Year?

Hear me out for a minute.

From the past 2 years or so the hardware of Mobile phones (specifically flagships) hasn't improved drastically. I'm still using my 3T from 3 years ago and except the battery, it's running very well, which brings me to my question:

Would you rather that manufacturers introduce annual programs, where instead of the user buying a 1000$ phone each year, pay a small amount (say 100-300$) and get

1. A free battery replacement each year.
2. Get software support for their de...
