As the new Galaxy phones start rolling out, here's my list of bloatware (Bixby included!) to remove with ADB shell

EDIT: Since people don't seem to be actually reading what I said, I'll put it first. ***This is what I remove from our corporate phones. We don't use stuff like Bixby/Pay/Notes/Health/etc, so I disable them. This is not a list for you to blindly apply, use it as information and only remove the ones you think you should remove***. This list is so you don't have to "pm list" all your software and go through it line by line to find what you want to remove. Use this list as a starting point, not a b...

the problem with youtube tech reviewers

hi i don't really know how to structure this but i had this on my mind for a very long time here we go:

1: (the reviews are shallow) i just finished watching mkbhd's video on the s20 ultra(just using him as an example these things apply to most other popular creators). i found his review extremely shallow even though the review is almost 20 minutes.(almost all his reviews are like this) he only went through points which most people knew about, the first 5 minutes was just fluff and d brand spo...

What do you think will be next step in smartphone cameras?

I think it will be to keep making the pixels bigger to compete with the best point-and-shoots, although this will be a tough call because it will make a higher thickness. Currently, the high-MP tricks aren't that great ($20U is only comparable to the $20+ in normal scenes) so maybe we'll be back to 12 or even 16 megapixel sensors. Also, something to improve on is bokeh quality. I've noticed that when you look close, it's a bunch of rings instead of a perfect circle or Gaussian distribution, both...

Newton Mail shutting down (again) ...alternatives

It seems like we only just got saved and Newton Mail was back form the ashes, and now it is about to be killed off again. Myself and every person i have recommended it to who uses it is gutted ....and it defies logic how something so good can be killed off, twice, with a paying user base.

So, time to start this conversation again ... alternatives?


Requirements would be:

\- simple clean interface
\- accompanying desktop app for Mac/Windows (mac in my case)
\- configurable swipe gestures...

Let's discuss the chances of google getting a license to work with huawei again.

I'm curious to what all android users here think of this. People have been able to get some services and apps back on huawei devices, but it stays crippled without official support. For example no one was able to enable "voice match".

However google has now officially applied for a license since around a week ago. What do you guys think are the chances of this being approved? Microsoft already got a license to deal with huawei.

[Discussion] How often do you change your phones? Does changing less often really save you money?

I've been in the same 2 year cycle of changing my phone for a while but I realized, but I don't think it made a big difference.

Assuming these are Samsung flagship phones starting from 2018 & the S9, and I know they’re huge generalizations here (but close enough after some googling) , but bear with me (I haven't factored carrier deals, contracts, discounts, buying used etc. at all) ;

​

Buying every 2 years : -$900 (S9) +$300 (trade in/sell used) -$1300 (S20) = -$1900

What theming is available now for Android?

When I first started using Android devices back in the day, we had launchers that could be themed, lock screens like widgetlocker that could also be changed to whatever you desired. Then we had clock/weather themes like Beautiful Weather and Fancy Widget. KWGT seems to be the only thing that we can use now. Are there any other, better alternatices, or is the personalization game dead on Android?...
