Samsung/Tmobile/Android tsk tsk tsk

So I've been impatiently waiting for One UI 4.0 Android 12 update for some time now. It seems like that's samsungs prerogative every new One UI release. Last year was the same thing with Android 11 and the year before. It doesn't help that these carrier service providers (in my case TMobile/Sprint) don't push the updates as soon as Samsung makes them available.

Well I found a work around for my S20 5g, I know it's not this new way of flashing updates to your device but I must say it worked wel...

Hot Take: Phones have been commoditized - why no one cares anymore (including reviewers)

I see a thread on here where people talk about how big reviews are constantly glossing over features and my first thought is: so?

When you really think about it phones have basically reached peak design and engineering. We're at the point where computational features and software add-ons are more enticing because we hit diminishing returns. No one cares about faster, stronger, powerful, etc. anymore because everything is good enough for the majority of people. Your glass slab with the bezel-le...

Txt msg notification w/ certain contacts issue solved ✅

So I was having issues with text messages and wasnt getting notified when I would receive messages from certain contacts. I couldnt figure it out because the notifications were all on? So the fix was as simple as opening up the conversation, hitting the 3 dots top right corner, then making sure the little bell next to the thumb tac is filled. Problem solved 👌🏼 ‼️...

Thoughts about paying for undesired features in high end phones?

The way I see it, all high end phones have really good cameras. Some people like it, but personally I don't care about the good camera. I care about screen resolution, refresh rate, battery life, better processor, more ram and similar. I hate the fact that I'm paying a premium for a feature I don't use. Is there anyone else in the same boat? Would be nice if we could build a personalized flagship with only what we needed....

Features OneUI (and possibly other OEM skins) had before Google Pixel's "Stock Android" and AOSP

The Pixel software is very nice and I like it, but it lacks a lot of features that OneUI had long time ago, and usually add them later on Pixel Phones (sometimes after years), here are some that I know! (also I DON'T think companies are not allowed to use each other features and improve them)

1. Magic Eraser: it is one of the most talked about Pixel 6 but not many people know that Samsung came up with something similar on OneUI 3.1 way before Pixel 6.

2. Rules Feature: it is something simil...
