Which region will recieve Snapdragon OR Exynos for Galaxy S22 (speculative)

I based this from pulling the type of test firmware on Samsung's servers. B model is Exynos, E model is Snapdragon. Here's the list from my little investigation. Don't flame me if I'm wrong. Take it with a pinch of salt though.


Pretty confident:

Europe - Exynos (S22 B models started appearing on EU retailers website)

North America - Snapdragon (S90XU model Geekbench shown to use SD as usual, nothing surprising)

South America - Snapdragon (Firmware site only shows firmware development fo...

Are Android 12's themed icons ever coming to third party apps?

Context should you be on Android 11 or lower: https://nerdschalk.com/android-12-themed-icons-everything-you-need-to-know/

​

So apparently there hasnt even been an API released by Google so far. Months after Android 12's release the feature is still in "Beta". Is this ever happening or will this be scratched?...

Major Problem with Mediatek SOCs that nobody seems to be pointing out

TLDR Version - In my testing over past 1 month, I've found that QC & Apple SOCs are leagues ahead in cellular reception and wifi reception both, read below if you want to know how I came to this conclusion

TLDR For Cellular - Mediatek is generally worse than QC but still usable, the difference is there but unlike Wi-Fi it's not day and night

TLDR For Wi-Fi - Mediatek SOCs are far inferior than the competition especially for Mesh Wi-Fi, but they seem to be inferior for single routers as well. F...

LPT Deep Sleeping Apps won't get updated via the Play Store

I noticed this last night when trying to figure out why a certain app for my smart scales wasn't working on Android 12 as I only use it once a month or so to measure and record my stats.

Found out that within the sleeping apps section section on my S20 5G that anything in Deep Sleeping Apps will be automatically virtually disabled (though still usable and visible in the app drawer) if Android determines it's not been used enough, so whilst the app can be manua...
