Dark mode on Android is still broken.

It's been a while since android had dark mode now. Apps can be set to dark mode using a system wide toggle. Simple. But gapps still haven't implemented it fully.

Here's few examples

- Google feed gets dark mode automatically.
- when you click on the profile icon to go into settings, it's white.
- when you open the feed from app drawer, it's white.
- Google docs still doesn't follow system dark mode and instead relies on battery saver.
- same with Google drive.
- Google keep doesn't have autom...

I've been a user of Android since Eclair (2.1) and throughout the years I've been using various keyboards. I started using the built in Android (Samsung?) keyboard on my Galaxy S1, and by the time the Galaxy S2 released I was using Swype and Swiftkey. After having used these keyboards for a little while the prediction were insane and it barely had issues recommending the correct words while typing. Typing on a ...

Wired HDMI/DisplayPort out support for any Android phone!

I'm making this post since it seems to be ***such*** uncommon knowledge.
TL;DR --> A DisplayLink USB to HDMI adapter, get one and never deal with hotel WiFi, lag, compression artifacts, etc, just plug your phone straight in.


I've read a lot about people asking for support or having issues trying to get their phones to mirror to a TV using Chromecasts or Miralink (which is now pretty much defunct in Android anyway). Be it issues with internet connection, WiFi strength, hotel WiFi issues, etc....

LG V20 Long Term Review || So much potential; some niggles, still unique and fun

I've used my LG V20 for over two years now, and I thought I'd share my thoughts about my specimen, and opinions on LG's approach.

[**GSMARENA SPEC SHEET**](https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v20-8238.php)

This is a rather unique phone, the last flagship phone with:

1. An **IR Blaster**

2. **Removable battery**


Among the first to have:-

1. A **wide angle camera**

2. Android **Nougat**

Other unique features:

1. **A Quad DAC**

2. **A Second Screen**

3. Good **manual controls** on photo/vide...

Screen Saver: Underutilized feature?

I remember when the Nexus 4 first came out and they showed off [screensavers on the wireless charger](https://www.theverge.com/2013/2/11/3977042/nexus-4-wireless-charging-orb-available). It looked cool, but ever since that moment, I've hardly seen the screen saver feature used in Android.

I feel like this is a potential that has not been used. Maybe people just don't care? Always on Display and showing the time and notification icons is nice, but why not allow my phone to show other things? For...
