I'm Mishaal Rahman - I write about Android and mobile devices for XDA as its Editor-in-Chief. AMA!

Hi /r/Android,

Long time poster on this sub - you may have seen in around in previous AMAs centered around particular devices, or in threads answering questions about particular topics.

Paying for gas using the new Google Pay app is actually awesome

I hate swiping my credit card at gas stations due to the constant issue with potential card skimmers. I've been trying to limit the stations I use to the ones that have tap-to-pay using Google Pay, but those are few and far between in my area.

So yesterday I decided to try out the new gas paying method in the redone Google Pay app. It actually is a great experience and worked really well. It seems to work with ExxonMobile and Shell stations in my area, but I'm sure there are other brands.

Google Pixel 5 speakerphone issues

I updated the phone app earlier this week on a Pixel 5 and the speakerphone quality went to shit. Everyone I talked to via speakerphone said I sounded underwater. I uninstalled the update and cleared the app storage as mentioned in this [post](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/78480980?hl=en). The speakerphone works great again!

I was able to duplicate and fix the issue again so the problem seems to come from the phone app update....

A Critical Look at Android Email Apps & Clients [Poll][Discussion][Reviews]

Hello friends. I have had a dilemma for a year or so now regarding email clients on Android. They all seem to have issues and sacrifices. So I decided to test out the mainstream ones that I would trust with my email stuff.

Let me start off by acknowledging a couple things:

* I know, I know "Why not just use the Gmail app"? The Gmail app has a couple of key sacrifices I will cover later in my review of it.
* "My email client \[X\] works perfectly!" That's awesome! I want to hear from you, take...
