Android's permission system must be improved

Android gives 'permanent' access to the camera and microphone with the user clicks 'allow'. It's better to add options options such as "allow for this session". Otherwise, it's incredibly easy to snoop on users. Moreover, users don't even know when the microphone is being accessed.

TIL: Skip tracks while display is off

While listening to Spotify on my Samsung Note today I noticed I can go to the next track pushing the power button and volume down at the same time. Power an volume up goes to the last track.

Edit: As commentators mentioned: It's a functionality of Samsung's SoundAssistant that I a) didn't know and b) used incorrectly.

I'm stupid....

Is there a Phone making use of multiple cameras?

Hey there guys,

​

A lot of phones these days come with three or more cameras. My Mi 9T Pro has A normal one, a telephoto one and a wide lens.

However, it just feels like a toy to me. I can't use the different lenses in other apps than the normal camera and why do I even need them? Feels like they wasted money they could have spent on a better vibration motor or sth.

I believe it must be possible to combine shots from different lenses to make a better overall photo, am I right? I rene...

Stock Android needs an ultra power saving mode.

The battery saver mode in stock Android only restricts background processes, maybe some processor throttling, and reducing screen brightness.

I miss the ultra power saving modes in Samsung and Sony phones, where everything is shutdown except phone, and a few a basic apps, and maybe one app of your choice. This would theoritically extend the battery life into days....
