Speculation on how to restore the UNIX philosophy in mobile phone apps

Unix philosophy is that all app should do one thing and one thing well. And often these can be chained together to make more complex behaviours. Which allows for automations as well.

There is a kernel of this with software intents in android but it's often inaccessible for the users.

What would be good is to have a class of apps called miniapps or something. Where you can manually chain them together using a phone GUI that may look like NODE-RED interface.

E.g. So you can chain the reception ...

Falling Back in Love with my Poco F3 (and Android).

I wanted to share the journey that I've had with this phone and this sub seemed like the perfect place for it.

I bought a Poco F3 a few months ago, the first few weeks were amazing, the performance was fantastic and I couldn't believe that a phone that performs this good could be priced so low. However, this honeymoon period with the Poco F3 ended shortly after, there were huge problems with the phone. I couldn't open voice notes (on whatsapp and telegram) without the screen getting stuck.

Thinking about buying a Kyocera DuraForce Pro 2? DON'T. They break when updating to android 10, and Kyocera tech support doesn't care.

Kyocera seems awfully quiet about this whole thing. Thousands of their customer's phones are bricking and there's no official statement or even acknowledgment to the problem. It's been literal months since this issue was first discovered and now we know this is happening to both AT&T AND Verizon customers.

It starts when AT&T or Verizon push Android 10 to your device with that annoying little pop-up, that never goes away until you update. Once it updates, the phone works as normal, until one d...

Sorry state of high end Android phones in India

Its really sad that I have to write this post but I feel really sad looking at the state of high end Android phones in India.

Samsung is probably one of the leader in this space, however the phones are actually using a custom exynos processor which is not a match for superior Snapdragon that is sold in USA for a phone with same name. That means we Indians are paying higher price with taxes included for a phone that doesn't match what we get in USA/ China.

Google doesn't sell its latest Pixel...
