ShieldTV Best Emulators "Guide"

This is just to save someone searching for this the hours of time it took me to narrow things down. Credit to u/NaturalViolence

Android already has a fairly limited selection of good emulators compared to windows/linux and android tv has an even more limited selection. And many don't work properly with external controllers or external storage which are necessary for a "proper" couch gaming experience on the shield tv.

Smart Lock by location fixed again with latest Google Play services update

The last version 21.15.15 broke it, but I see it updated to 21.18.16 today and is working again. So you can stop whatever workaround you use whenever Smart Lock by location breaks, lol.

(Apparently a lot of people find Smart Lock not reliable with location, but it's always worked well for me except when Google literally breaks it. :/ )...

Whitechapel's performance may be similar to Snapdragon 870

Source. This is the same person who posted a possible leak about the camera earlier

Copy of the tweet text

"Well yes, Whitechapel is a 5nm chip with current performance on PVT units closer to SD870, they are not trying to match SD888. Google's focus is on ML & so the raw AI performance is matched to that of other leading mobile chips...

Pixel 3 and Pixel 2 are still suffering from Out of Memory errors

I work as an Android developer on an app with millions of downloads. Our app is generally crash-free for 99% of users, but there can be some out-of-memory crashes once in a while.

I've noticed that the vast majority of these crashes occur on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 2, despite Pixel devices making 8% of our total users (Samsung makes up \~75%). Other devices with 4GB RAM seem to be generally fine so it seems like the issue is specific to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 2. It's...
