New Security Update Bug Workaround (Maybe Pixel 3 issue only)

TL;DR: Having super slow lock screen issues after latest security patch? Turn off Night Mode.

Last night I had updated the latest security software patch and my phone was almost impossible to get unlocked, I have a Pixel 3 XL and my friend experienced the same issue on a 3.

If you are finding that when you go to unlock your phone or even check the the notifications and it's extremely slow or unresponsive there is an issue with the Night Mode. If you turn it off, the phone should go back to wor...

This leak can't be true for the pixel 4a, because the SD 730 doesn't support 4k 60fps recording, only 30fps.

I did a power analysis of exynos990, it's worrying

So as Anandtech tested the specint/fp of Snapdragon 865.

I tested specint for exynos990

The results are very worrying. Score is 31(compared to 33+ for 865), power draw is staggering 3.8w(4.2w system total power-0.4w idle power).

So the if we compare the exynosM5 in exynos99 to the A77 cores in 865, M5 is 10% slower while drawing more than double power.

No wonder my exynos s20+ heats up easily and has miserable battery life...

My experience with the S20 Ultra

**Some background about myself:** I've been using Android for more than 8 years now with the occasional iPhone here and there (most recent 11 Pro Max). The newest Androids I own are the S10+, One Plus 7 Pro, and the Pixel 3XL (tried the 4XL but ended up returning it). But introduction aside, here is why I think you should get the S20, or even the S10 instead of the Ultra.

# Camera:

I could definitely tell the differences in terms of detail compared to my S10+, Pixel, and iPhone; the zoom detai...

Certain apps not working on home WiFi (The FIX!!!)

I have a Moto G6 Play and since i've bought it i had problems with some apps not working on my home wifi but working fine with 4G/3G data and other WiFis.

I looked through multiple fixes with no luck, until today, when i started fiddling with multiple network configurations, i came across some posts about MTU and packet loss. I ran ping tests on some sites using the command prompt and discovered a huge packet loss when sending a ping packet larger than the configured MTU on my router.

So i cam...
