Pixel 5 Navigation Gestures

I just got a Pixel 5 and am loving it so far, except for the navigation gestures. On my previous phones, I used Fluid NG but with Android 11, I am unable to hide the navigation bar. I also don't like how difficult it is to pull items from the side if they use hamburger menus, I always trigger the back action instead of the menu. I found a way to disable the side navigation triggers. Use ADB and type either of the following to disable the left or right, respectively:

​

adb shell settings...

Pixel 4 takes on full frame Canon RP DSLR in low light photography to demonstrate the power of computational photography

A little old, but still [very interesting comparison between Pixel 4 and Canon RP](https://petapixel.com/2019/11/05/blind-test-google-pixel-4-night-sight-vs-canon-eos-rp-low-light-shootout) and a surprising outcome for me.

I expected the full frame DSLR to blow Pixel away, but instead Pixel produced better images. They are soft but cleaner, whereas Canon looks very noisy.

Naturally on a tripod Canon would produce much better results. This was a handheld comparison to simulation more "realistic...

Proposed pricing terminology

There are so many phones out there in the "midrange" pricing I don't think it's fair to compare 200$ phones to 700$ phones and call them both midrange. What about calling high end, yet not flagship level phones premium, like so:


Budget- 0-199

Midrange - 200-499

Premium - 500-799

Flagship - 800+...

Fixed Persistent Android Auto issues!!!

Hey r/Android

I bought a new car over the summer and my S8 had issues with Android Auto from day 1.

After a lot of research and discussions with a local service center, I thought I had to buy a new phone... Long story short, I uninstalled BatON and all the issues stopped.

BatON is a useful tool for seeing battery percentage for wireless headphones (although I don't know how accurate it actually is) - but having Android Auto disconnect daily is not worth it!

Not sure if this will help anyon...

Micromax announces two good phones, I hope old days come back!

I do really think that if manufacturers provide following things,

- only one rear camera maybe 16/12MP is enough
- less than 6 inch screen
- LED panel screen
- near to stock android

In a price range around 15k INR (~201.30USD from Google) it would be killer to be honest.

I truly appreciate the simplicity that stock android provides but I don't understand why manufacturers don't follow the same simplicity in Hardware....
