Android 12 Leak Is it just me or is this very close to One UI? Also I hate the colours in this screenshot of leak. If it’s the new default colours I’m definitely using a launcher on my next Android phone....

Volume resetting (future suggestion)

It has happened to all of us. Let's say you wanna watch a video but the audio is poor. So you have to max the volume to be clear. You finish watching the video and you forget to turn down the volume. Later you wanna listen to some music but you don't remember the volume is still on 100%. You play the track and it's sooo loud that scares you out. So, what if there was feature were it would reset to a lower volume (40% or 50%) if there was some time of speaker inactivity ? (Of course the current v...

Why do we care about phones including chargers?

Today android phones all use USB-C, some still use USB-micro B but they're dying. We all have USB-C cables. We all have a dozen charger bricks lying around, and many people have those multi-port chargers. No phone uses those annoying proprietary chargers from back in the olden days.

So why are some people upset manufacturers aren't including chargers in the boxes? I have half a dozen chargers from phones that have never been used because I kept using the ones I had, the cable in my car, my Pixe...

Android and desktop mode

I'm still confused as to why there are few phones has desktop mode feature. Processor nowadays are getting more and more powerful, why do manufactures still neglect this feature? There are new snapdragon 888 phones that still has Type C 2.0, means you can't connect it to external monitors. Even processors as old as snapdragon 617 is capable of desktop mode if implemented by the manufacturer. Android has the opportunity to turn every smartphone to a desktop computing device but for some reason it...

Google has a pretty low hanging fruit for tablet adoption

... but they aren't doing it.

Just release a build of Google Chrome that can make desktop mode default. It's gonna open the doors to be more productive on web apps for tablets.

A medium term goal could be to optimize Google Drive and Apps for tablets desktop mode a bit. Not much, just needs minor polishes....

Opinion If companies are removing chargers from the packaging because "everyone has a charger", they should go all out and include nothing but the phone itself because you can make the same argument for every other accessory

Even SIM ejector pins too. It's been a standard included accessory for years too.

​

Not saying that I agree with this move (I'm actually quite neutral about it), but I'd rather see a company commit fully to their beliefs rather than blindly copy whatever everyone else is doing....
