PSA: Samsung Galaxy's One UI 4 update still collects clipboard data and makes it worse somehow.

Samsung phones have always had a nasty habit of collecting your clipboard data without your permission, and you cannot disable this function: Disabling the clipboard using adb "hacking" does not actually stop Samsung from collecting your copies and pictures!

But One UI 4 adds another problem: It disables the Clipboard context option if you're using a keyboard other than the default Samsung keyboard. But it still collects your copies. This means you need to switch to Samsung keyboard and the...

Vodafone have pulled the s21 Ultra from sale because of the upcoming s22 launch....

So i'm looking to pick up the s21 ultra because frankly imo the flagship mobile phone industry is in a pretty poor state. I just had to return a pixel 6 pro because it's buggy as shit and just not very good, and i can't find anything else that appeals (upgrading from a p30 pro).

Anyway, i went on the vodafone website (UK) to check if maybe their s21 ultra prices had dropped due to the upcoming s22 anno...

If you're a fixer, order parts BEFORE they fail

What ever phone you've got.. if you're feeling that component is starting to fail, order a spare part. It's really not hard to repair yourself.

I've been on HTC U11 for 3 years with no replacements but the charger port is about to go.

I've got random modules/spares which will prolong the device for another 2-3 years....

Android needs an app permission between allow 'access to all files' and 'allow access to media only'

Something so the app can see anything in the downloads folder but not grant it permission to look anywhere.

This came about when I was looking for an .ogx file I downloaded. Android doesn't recognize it as media, so it wouldn't let VLC have access to it with default 'media only' access.

The only option for VLC to see the file was to grant VLC access to ALL files on my device, which is far too broad in my view considering VLC has had some past security issues ( https://us.blastingnews.com/tec...
