The power of Google Play Services: I just received Nearby Share on my 7-year-old tablet running Nougat (LineageOS)

[Here's a screenshot of it in action](https://i.imgur.com/ksCgY3X.png)

Surprisingly this has a friendly UI for tablets, just sharing it here because I'm excited about it 🙌🏼

Nor did I expect the feature to reach tablets... Now I just need the feature on my PC....

Which android apps have you been using for the longest time?

Other then the messenger apps and services apps e.g. Whatsapp, Spotify. What apps have you been using the longest?

For a long time Timely was my longest used app (around 7 years) until on an android 10 device alarms were not working properly from everything I can tell the problem is with the app not the device. As it hasn't been updated since 2018 I doubt these problems will get fixed....

Samsung plans to allow QHD + 120hz with Galaxy S21 Ultra. Bigger battery, software optimization, new screen & adaptive refresh rate will allow this function with no big battery affect. Samsung test it but they are sure about it.

How can I move music that was purchased on an iPhone using Apple Music to a Samsung J3.

I need to store it in a folder on the Samsung as an mp3 in order to use the app “I am a band”. I can purchase new music on the Samsung using amazon music and download it to the phone and that works but I don’t want to re-buy all my songs. I’ve installed Apple Music on the Samsung but I don’t know how to store the purchased songs in a folder on the phone....

Most answers here, about HDMI support, is wrong.

Typical question is like: does my phone supports HDMI cable connection?

And typical answer is: no. Your phone doesn't have USB 3.1, just USB 2.0, so you have to use Chromecast.

Especially Xiaomi community here is full of wrong answers, as most of Xiaomi phones does have only USB 2.0 interface.

But the truth is: ALMOST ALL Android devices, phones or tablets, is possible to connect through HDMI cable.

To be more specific: if your phone / tablet

1. runs on Android 5 (Lollipop) or newer,
2. if ...

Is the size factor important for you when choosing a new device?

I'm just curious if you consider size as a factor when choosing a new device.

I see many times there's a ton of people jumping from one flagship to another and that including jumping from a big phone to way smaller phone and vice versa (for instance S20 Ultra to Pixel 4a) and all they mention when comparing is everything but size.

I'm currently using my ancient Honor 9 and all I'm worried about is if I get used to a bigger phone once I upgrade.

So is the size factor even important to you any...
