On a scale of 1-5, how important are security patches to you and why?

For me it's a 4 because of the constant hacking of smartphones (such as old Samsung's) going on nowadays which leaves me paranoid. What about you guys?...

Sync music using filters

Hello, I'm a young self-taught developer.
I wrote a little Python program that in my opinion will be helpful for someone out there.

Have you ever had problem syncing music between PC and device? Do you want to do that using filters like minimum rating?

The Hap-tic Archive!

Hi everyone, could we make a haptic archive for Android?

*I do currently own a S7 edge and A7 2018 phone from samsung.*
*I quickly stopped using the A7 after finding the poor haptic engine in it yet kept it for its camera array.*

*But all my texting I do through my S7 edge.*

I feel it is an important feature many overlook, especially by companies. And it's really hard to find a proper list of phones that shows that they have or have not gotten a good haptic engine.

Can we take a moment to talk about password autofill on Android?

Autofill has been introduced with Android Oreo (so almost 3 years ago) and for almost the same time I have been using the password manager Enpass with my phone and Pc. I hated the consistent "safe password"-popups so I disabled them plus I used different browsers for my phone and pc so sync wasn't an option anyway. When they introduced the option to use Android autofill API I was so happy, immediately enabled it as soon as Enpass supported it just to be disappointed. When logging into apps it w...

Fun find: Android stopwatch kept going despite phone shutting down from a dead battery.

I started a stopwatch while grilling out back. My phone died when I turned the flashlight on. I plugged it in, ate dinner, turned phone on and stopwatch was still ticking accurate to the total time passed including off time. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to share....
