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.


Now, most of you are ([hopefully](https://www.avg.com/en/signal/5-re...

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...

Monochrome screen (black and white)

If you turn on developer mode, you can make your phone black and white by searching for this setting: simulate color space

This will make your phone much more pleasant, healthy (for you and your eyes and brain), and help with phone addiction.

You don't have to use a greyscale app. ...the settings are built into your android phone....
