Why aren't phone speakers equalized out of the box?

EQ involves the raising and lowering of certain frequencies in specific bands. EQ exists to balance out the sound coming out of whatever speaker preludes it, and so, tiny phone speakers obviously will have a unbalanced, unlikable sound.

Looking at a frequency response chart of a specific phone, as DXOMARK has rated for some, you can raise and lower frequencies according to such chart, using a system wide EQ, such as Wavelet. Wavelet is also good for EQing specific models of headphones within t...

A light alarm clock.

Lots of people unable to hear have to use different ways to wake up in the morning like vibration and light. I'm not one of those but I've never waked up more refreshed than when I used an app that used smartphone screen brightness to wake me up. Trust me: it works. You can detect the light very easily (increasing over 15 or 30 min) and, if worried, you can set up a sound alarm too.

"Then use the app". The problem is that Android is not well suited for it so in most smartphones is a pain to use...

RANT: Android open with menu is seriously bad.

So I was trying to sideload an app and when I click on the apk, it asks me

"which application you want to open this files with?"

Options are: a) android package installer; b) Poweramp Equilizer.


Wut? What the hell is poweramp Equilizer going to do with an apk file?

Same with Zoom and map links.

Why does android ask me if i want to open a map link with zoom? (if selected it does absolutely nothing btw) this caused a massive issue with my dad's phone. He somehow selected zoom and hit alw...

Next-gen Exynos x AMD and the future of Samsung flagships

I just had a small realization thinking about the next Exynos SoC (probably the Exynos 2200)

Will Samsung ditch the Snapdragon 9xx for the S22 (along with future chips on their future flagships)?

On one hand, it would make sense since the Snapdragon 9xx probably won't be able to match the GPU performance on the Exynos 2200. On the other hand, Samsung hasn't really cared about the gap in performance when comparing the Snapdragon vs. Exynos in the past.

If they don't for the S22, will they even...
