Opinions on a vpn from Google?

Google announced their very own VPN and I'm curious how people feel about it. Would you use it?...

Are UK Android fans aware that's a S20 Snapdragon version available right now? I did some research.

Hey guys,

I've been researching getting a new Android phone and I wanted to go for a phone in the Samsung range.

As a UK citizen, I have obviously stumbled across a lot of Exynos vs Snapdragon comparisons for the S20s but just today, I realised that there is actually a Snapdragon S20 available in the UK and all other regions where you would normally be stuck to the Exynos chip.

The "Fan Edition" 5G. [That's UK Store link.](https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-s20/buy/?modelCode=SM-G7...

Samsung Music App now allows updating of Album Image art natively

As per the patch notes;

[16.2.23.14]
- Support Android 11 (One UI 3)
- Set playlist image or album image


Having tested it and can say it works as intended, allowing you to select from Gallery or Camera. Once a photo is selected or taken, can then be cropped to the square art format.


Very happy that this is now native rather than having to do a work around with caches or 3rd party apps. Was an annoyance of mine for a while so no problems now so figured I'd mention it....

What's the worst thing that has happened to your phone?

I've had a Note 8.0 from 2013 fry itself totally. No lights, no vibration... nothing. Last sign of life was a flickering Download screen. I miss its S-Pen and convenient size.

While it never saw any versions beyond 4.4 officially, it did run a custom build of 7.1.2 before it died....

Remove Ads from your Life with AdGuard Home and Alternative Social Media Apps

Note: I know this is a bit basic, but I know it is what I would have wanted 3 months ago.

Lately, I've been getting into automation and accessibility with my phone. While I am **definitely** not the first one to use this, I think that I am evidence that someone with no coding knowledge can improve their life significantly when it comes to their phone and computer. The thing that I think has affected me the most is AdBlock.

I've had an LG Wing for two weeks now and thought I'd share some details on what owning it is like, as well as answer any questions about it.

I should start this by saying I've always gravitated towards two types of phones: those with physical keyboards, and those with pen support. I like phones with alternate input methods, and I like weird phones. When I first saw images of the Wing I thought it was a really strange, almost unnecessarily weird device, but as time went on and more videos came out I grew more and more interested in it. I've already discovered a number of interesting/useful features that I haven't seen touched on in an...

Use your stand-by Android or iPhone as Webcam and connect from Linux, Windows or Mac PC

As the COVID lock-down continues and more people have adopted **Work from Home** option, the **Webcams** are running **out of stock** and the manufacturers are busy selling them at **higher prices**.

Here's a an easy alternative to use a stand-by **Android or iPhone** as Webcam and connect from **Linux, Windows or Mac PC.**

I've been looking at DroidCam and "iriun Webcam" as the options. The latter did well in Video resolution, auto-focus and picture quality. However, DroidCam overtook it with...

What task automation app have you had the best experience with?

I have Tasker, AutomateIt, Automate, and AutoMagic, and I can't decide which one to settle on.

Maybe I'm not that good with noscripting, or maybe the UI/UX is not designed for simple uses.

With Tasker, a recent update stopped working with even simplest tasks, such as turning WiFi on/off depending on a location.

To be fair, my experience has been a mixed bag with other apps, e.g. with the task above. Except for Tasker until its recent update, I've never been able to set up WiFi on/off dependi...
