One UI 3.0 review: Bringing (most of) Android 11's best features to Galaxys

The general market share for Android+iOS is roughly 50/50 split in the USA. Is that realistic to your usage?

(USA Discussion based on Market Share).

I find it mind boggling that android has roughly 50% market share. When I met people and those who I text are almost 90% iphone users. It's mind boggling how much I run into iphone users.

Curious where this 50% android market share is? Is it all the older generation? 50+ year olds? My gym is populated by mostly 50+ year olds, and its the only place where there are more android phones than iphones.

And as someone who works with kids (middle and high sch...

Who still uses a launcher?

I've used nova launcher for as long as I can remember. With all the improvements to Samsung's OneUI and other manufacturers skins, I was curious who still used a launcher and what it would take for you to go back to the stock skin?...

Beware the latest update to Google Camera - it's being inundated with 1-star reviews on Google Play because it's crashing and taking blurry pictures

While taking pictures of my 1-year old today for the holidays on my Pixel 3 and my wife's Pixel 3a, I noticed a lot of my pictures were coming out blurry and the camera app was getting very laggy.

I loaded the Play Store and looked up the reviews for the current version (8.1.101.345618084) and saw it's completely swarmed with 1-star reviews for the same problems.

Avoid updating if you can, because this is a giant step back for Pixel photography....

Pro-Tip: Open web links from a browser other than in-app Google Chrome when using Google Search Bar widget

It has been months. Insert text, press search, click a link, then watch my battery drain as the Google Search app surfs the web for the answers I'm looking for. Either that, or I accidentally press back and completely lose the page I had. Constant searches in desperate need of answers – nothing.

Well, if you have the same issue, fear no more. You can make the webpages open on your default browser. Here's what to do:

Tap the "G" button on the search bar to open the Google app > 3 dots on the bo...
