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?...

Surface Duo Review: Above the Fold (Duo vs Galaxy Z Fold 2)
Microsoft Surface Duo is not perfect but better at multitasking than Galaxy Z Fold 2. Here are real world examples! I used it for several weeks and it opened up possibilities that I didn't expect. It's expensive and has bugs but I want to give it a chance.…
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.

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...

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:

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?...
