A cool little trick to peek at your notifications.

If you have fully gestural navigation enabled, a swipe in from either top corner of your device gives you a peek at all your notifications until you let go of the screen. I'm sure it's not an actual feature as all it does is trigger the back gesture and the notification shade at once, but I found it out by accident and have been using it a lot....

Use «Invert colors» for apps not supporting dark theme

A simple life hack I discovered a few days ago. You may know it already but maybe someone doesn't. If it's night/you have low battery on your OLED screen phone and app you are using right now still doesn't support dark theme just use «Invert colors» tool. It can be placed as a tile in the notification shade. This tool doesn't just make all colors negative but inverts some of them (like white and black) so it will look OK....

On the "Spyware" Case: Samsung Proofed to Be LYING, Personal Data were SENT

This is in response to the Samsung's Qihoo 360 case. For those who don't know, there's a sensational post last week on Reddit, as a user claimed that Samsung partnered with a Chinese company Qihoo and pre-installed irremovable "spyware" on every Samsung phone and tablet. Long story short, I found the post to be jumping to conclusions, but Samsung's response later seemed a little fishy to me. Being a network security researcher, I went ahead and decompiled the APK myself. Though I'd like to belie...

What has been your experience with Google Maps when navigating offline?

I've noticed it has trouble recalculating and the offline search doesn't work good. I've read that others have had trouble too. What's the problem? When do you think Google will update Google Maps and its offline feature?

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S10 and have downloaded the offline maps, even updating them before going out today and it still had trouble....

Smart band

I wish someone would create a smartband that acted like a smartwatch but in a smaller design. No video calling or camera, but the ability to see notifications, manage your music, track your location and more. I would especially love this design for NFC, encouraging me to actually use Google Pay for payments. To really improve it, adding Solo radar and gives me those type of interaction would be perfect.
