Brief impressions of the Galaxy Fold (gen 1)

I know the big thing right now is the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and no one cares about the Fold 1 now, but I still thought this was worth sharing. This is more of an impressions post than a review, and I won't be going into depth about benchmarks or camera performance, since there's already a ton of content about that from the past year. My main focus is what it was like to use my first folding phone. Expect this to be full of personal opinions that you probably disagree with. And expect this to be very r...

Why multitasking is still bad on phones?

Examples:


\-You can't play video on a browser in the background while doing something else

\-Can't stream using front and back camera at the same time

\-Can't run 2 programs at the same time, for example using a streaming app and a separate text to speech app

The list can go on, will we ever have more freedom in out 8 cores devices or the smartphone capabilities gonna be hindered forever?...

OneNote on Android is an unfortunately broken experience

As long as you use the OneNote Desktop App (not the UWP), everything is great. Everything works fine. It's a great app for creating and storing notebooks.

However, opening the same notes on an Android phone or tablet is an exercise in banging my head over and over again against a table.

###Font Support

The font support in Android is paltry. This means any notes typed in fonts other than the (very) few available on Android will revert to Calibri. This is especially problematic for...

Hello all!

DirectChat is not a new app but has been under development for more than 3 years and has recently undergone many changes including new UI. This app allows you to create Android 11 bubbles (or Facebook like Chat heads) for any application on any android version. It comes with features such as Instant Reply, DND, Blacklist etc which isn't present in native bubbles. It also comes with tons of customizations and theming support. You can read about all of its feature on below Google Play ...

Android tablets neglected by choice

Over the past 7 years I've been using Android tablets for school. We all know their problems - little support from developers, short software support. These can be coped with by using split window mode and flashing custom ROM respectively. Recently after buying a Wear OS smartwatch I've decided to ditch my smartphone entirely and rely on this 5G Tablet + 4G Watch combo. I've been doing well, but some odd things happened along the way:

Samsung has explicitly chosen not to allow their own tablets...

Google Pixel 4a Smartphone Audio Review

Since Android Auto is able to tell when the car is moving shouldn't we be able to watch YouTube/Streaming services on our infotainment screens?

It seems like a simple solution. Force GPS to be on. Just like navigation with Google maps. Then enable YouTube/Netflix/Prime. Only when parked. We have these new giant infotainment screens and aside from Teslas we are limited to audio and navigation only. It seems like a waste. I think it would drastically improve the Android auto experience.

Wondering how others felt?...
