DISCUSSION New permissions to support handhelds/gamepads

Hi All,

​

I think that it is high time to introduce new permissions into Android to support handhelds and gamepads. As for today we have a conflict of interests between solution providers (Gamepad/Handhelds producers) and end users. For example Mantis Gamepad Pro software or Razer Kishi V2 Virtual Controller requires too wide permissions, because these can't be granulated (in one cases this is overlay permission and usb debugging - also remotely - and in second is a full control over de...

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Geekbench 6 Results

I've decided to benchmark my S23 Ultra with Geekbench 6. I've also included results from my S20 FE (SD 865) as comparison.

MC: 4957
OpenCL: 9125

S20 FE\*:

SC: 779
MC: 2878
OpenCL: 2662

\* not the best comparison since my S20 FE has a ton more apps installed compared to a brand new phone ...

Geometric Weather an Awesome Lightweight Weather App

You can find it here

Sleek and beautiful. Comes with hundreds of widget variation. Far better than the paid apps like Overdrop I was using previously. Also does not contain google trackers, unlike Overdrop.

I find it hilarious that I paid for a inefficient, battery-drain, that spies on me to boot. Consider supporting the project. Geometric weather will definitely be my weather app of choice for the foreseeable future...

Those with foldable phones: Do you like it? Is it worth it? How likely are you to stay on a foldable phone in the future?

I'm curious, because this is a relatively mature feature by now, but I personally don't see the point. But I want to! I'm really curious about what the folding phone experience is like for those who love theirs....

What happened to android oem flavors and excitement for UI?

I remember the days of early android where people were hard at work porting Mi UI, Sense, Flyme OS and others to different phones. They all had their unique features and styles and people wanted to try something new.

Increased popularity of the Nexus/Pixel line and hatred for Touchwiz I feel forced most manufacturers to stock android.

Looking at the players of early android days Moto has gone straight to stock, Samsung is the least like stock but has definitely toned it down, HTC is gone, pret...

S23 Battery Life so far

Hey All!

For those thinking of getting the base s23.

Battery life so far is amazing. Its about the same as my work phone - A53

- Have the adaptive screen refresh rate on 120hz
- Bluetooth on all the time
- Used moderately (Social Media, youtube and some mobile games)

My Old personal is a s10e Exynos which has terrible battery life.

Im a fan of compact phones but I prefer larger ones for Battery life.

S23 hits both requirements!
