Anyone else prefer the old 16:9 aspect ratio?

I've had the pixel 4a since October and I still can't get used to how tall the screen is. The black bars and small video are annoying, but the thing that bugs me most is the ergonomics.

In portrait orientation, it's harder to press things at the very top and bottom of the phone. When I'm holding it landscape, I have to contort my hand to reeeach the edge of the screen to swipe to go back. It seems I have to move my hand a lot more and readjust my phone in my hand a lot more than I did with m...

Incognito Mode For Camera!

Don't you think this would come in handy? Many of us use our phone cameras to take photos we only want to see and use in certain applications. We don't want them popping up in our main gallery. Wouldn't it be great if Google could add support for an "incognito mode" metadata tag to Google Photos and the stock gallery app. Images & videos with that tag would be excluded from the main gallery by default. Then Google and the OEMs could add an Incognito Mode to their camera apps that simply adds thi...

What is your Favorite smartphone to date and why?

Having owned a lot of phones, I would say my ultimate favorite one is still the old Galaxy S9+. It's just a sexy well rounded phone and it has everything I need. Even newer phones nowadays lack some of the feature that the S9 has.


- Micro sd card slot
- Headphone jack, at the bottom
- Insanely good speakers
- Fingerprint reader on the back
- IP68 water resistance
- High pixel density screen
- Good battery life
- Great camera performance
- Beautifully designed (in my opinion, the best looking ...

FHD v QHD Pentile Displays

With the recent release of the Galaxy S21 series, a new debate of FHD v QHD has risen. Like many previous debates about the eye (24FPS vs 60+FPS, for example), a lot of generalities get thrown around that are mixed with people's personal experiences.

One of the leading items that's.lead to people concluding that FHD isn't noticeable on small phone screens seems to stem from Samsung's decision to push people to use FHD & 120Hz on all their phones last year, despite the panels being QHD. I have n...

LPT: You can turn off Adaptive Icons in Nova Launcher through it's Lab feature.

Before: https://i.imgur.com/vxW8Uek.jpg
After: https://i.imgur.com/nrZgCyU.jpg

Nova Launcher support has sent this over to me in an email a couple years ago. I don't like Adaptive Icons and they told me how to turn it off.
Go to Nova Settings and hold the volume down button to enable the Labs feature.
Then go to Nova Settings -> Look & Feel -> Adaptive Icon Style -> Prefer Legacy Icons

Do that and the white shape around the icons should be gone.

IMO it always looked better th...
