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!...

Mobile phone for Lefties

Hello left handed guys and right handed , whats your perception about having an option to choose to ur unit as "for left handed" and "for right handed". Will it be warm idea or a meh?

Mostly about hardware stuff only, clickies and buttons suited for left handed, which is usually for right since it's "normalized"...

Google needs to add a third camera(telephoto)- Suggestion

Google is amazing with cameras but android users are now moving to iPhones due to now similar camera prowess and better video quality. This year, Google already improved heavily in the video side but I’d like to see Google one’s again taking the lead in the photo segment with an additional Telephoto lens and also with bumped up megapixel count. Google does wonders with a 12.2 megapixel camera, what can they do with a 48, or 64!...

Why is there a need for an annual change in major android version (Nougat, Oreo, Pie, Q etc)

Looking back over the last few years with android, I feel like the last *major* upgrade was from marshmallow to Nougat, with the advent of material design - ever since, it's always felt like minor changes that don't really change the overall asthetic of android.

I appreciate there's a lot changed under the hood... But what is the need to have a brand new version EVERY year. Surely sometimes just a wee "0.5" would be sufficient to show people that not a lot has really been updated.

Happy to le...
