Samsung S7 tablet long term use and concerns

Hello everyone, I recently was given the opportunity to try out a brand new Samsung S7 tablet.

Another concern is the limited app ecosystem and frequent...

If you have Peel Remote on your phone I suggest you block it

I went thru my app list and the only red flag was Peel Remote, apparently some other people were getting full screen ads because of it. Not the same as my issue but similar.


I disabled it 6...

Google apps, dark mode inconsistencies

I'll start off by saying, I love android, but damn sometimes it's not consistent, and I get that there are different teams working on different apps, but how hard is it for the highest up person to organize this shit by saying: all splash screens must be this colour, with status bars and navigation bars being the same colour. Once in the app, backdrop colour must be this colour, all secondary colours must be this colour, navigation bar backgrounds must be transparent, status bars must be the s...

Old Facebook Messenger Chat Heads on Android 11 Workaround

Hey everyone,

If you're on a newer phone running Android 11, you might be as frustrated as me with the new buggy 'chat bubbles' feature that Messenger opted for instead of their original 'chat heads'.

Steps:

* Uninstall Messenger (You can leave Facebook for authentication)
* Download a APK of Messenger version 266 (There's plenty of sites out there)
* Install this APK a...
