What happened to keyboard inserts in Android 11?

The single time I have seen them used is in a demo for a new version of flutter. Even Android Messages doesn't support.

What's going on? Have any of you guys had a single app support it yet?

Quick reminder for those that forgot, keyboard inserts allowed apps to use a new way to have the system virtual keyboard to pop up in your app. The new way added a smooth animation. You can view the animation [here](https://miro.medium.com/max/2450/0*DFRjYzbqIc5kOoDm)....

Which phone has a great camera "if you know how to use it"?

I dusted off my old LG G4 recently and decided to play with its camera a bit. I am still amazed by how good G4's interface is. [Manual controls are excellent!](https://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/199214-image/lg-g4-manual-camera-mode.jpg) And give you control over pretty much anything you would need. There is no HDR or any unnatural processing on the phone. I love that it lets you pick white balance; I like to make images a bit warmer looking. And what's amazing is that all of these cha...

Why has Google not implemented a backup solution like Titanium Backup or Nandroid?

It seems like it would be a good feature, backing up snapshots of your phone's data and OS on local storage or the cloud.

Maybe the more problematic options could be hidden behind a dev menu......

Split Screen - common use case

I recently came across split screen feature on my Samsung note. ( I know this feature has been out for a while). I found it super useful while driving, keeping Maps and Spotify open at the same time. Just curious, what are some of the common use case for split screen? Do you guys use this for multitasking- like improving personal productivity or more for entertainment - Youtube plus browsing?...

The new Android recents tab is a waste of real-estate

The new recents tab (which was introduced with Pie I think) is a complete waste of the mobile screen. Newer phones have so much space that showing an overview of just one app is like actually using that app. Scrolling to the desired app is also a pain as the overview locks to one app so You have to scroll painfully slowly.
Recents style that makes sense are:

1. MIUI's recents which shows the preview of almost 5 apps at a time. That is how "Recent tab" should be.
2. Previous Android Recents styl...

Would you prefer if phones were thicker?

Way back before touchscreen phones, phones were a lot thicker and I didn't mind them. Now, almost everyphone is less than 8mm thick and they mare making it shinier and smoother making it harder to hold. I personally use a bumper case so there is more "grip" to my phone. I wouldn't mind if phones were as thick as a powerbank if it meant better handling, larger camera sensors, better battery life or not compromising parts like headphone port etc. Would you prefer if phones were thicker?...

The first Android prototype is on eBay! (HTC EXCA 300)

Hello people of reddit!

For quite some time I've been trying to find one of the very first android prototype development devices never released to the public called the HTC EXCA 300, that runs a version of Android even older than 1.0!

They seem to appear on eBay every so often in small numbers, and today happens to be one of those days! This seller posted a listing for three devices a couple of days ago, which sold out the same day, and today I've seen another batch of 10 devices pop-up!

FIX for: Play services issue causing battery drain, hot phone

After I had the issue myself, following an update taken 9/25/2020 (S10 on Xfinity), I found a fix. You can see some spicy reviews on the play store describing the problem, most dated 10/7/2020. From reading fixes for other issues, I pieced this together and I has worked for the past day and a half.


1) remove google accounts from phone, reboot
2) clear data from play services, reboot
3) add google account back
4) take all updates for all apps

I'm guessing the update was a conflict between ol...

Finally received the Bubbles update on Facebook Messenger

After no luck with betas, alphas and specific versions since Android 11 came out, it looks like they finally unlocked this feature... or at least deployed it to more users

App version is 286.0.0.12.122 (Beta). The bubble pop-up icon shows up as expected in notifications, you can edit priority of conversations per person, no longer "not supported".

There's now *Bubbles* instead of *Chat Heads* in Messenger settings and the app icon changed colour to a blue-purple gradient

Yay!...
