Here's a new look at stock Wear OS 3 from the updated official emulator build

Google quietly released an updated Wear OS 3.0 (Android 11) emulator image recently. Wear OS isn't open source, so this is the only way to test the latest version apart from buying the Galaxy Watch 4.

The build date is Nov. 17, so it's pretty fresh.

Reddit user amoledwatchfaces has posted a bunch of screenshots over on the /r/WearOS subreddit. XDA's article

Don't clean your smartphone too much using alcohol.

I've been using Samsung S10e, and since the pandemic began, I've been cleaning my phone using alcohol from time to time (dabbed tissue with 70% alcohol then wiped the phone).

The screen died very recently. Luckily I the phone itself was fine (alarm still turned on, although I had no way to turn it off).

Went to authorized service center, and according to them, they've been seeing increased number of broken phones when people started to clean their phones using alcohol and hand sanitizer becau...

The December update has completely destroyed mobile signal on (at least) the European Pixel 6 for everyone. Google hasn't commented on the issue and they haven't even paused the rollout.

After the December update was installed into the Pixel 6 in Europe, the reception strength has been completely destroyed for all of us. I have 2 friends with the Pixel 6 and the both have the same issue, and you can see here in the Google issue tracker and in some Reddit posts that hundreds of users claim to be affected by this problem:
