My 11 Year Long Samsung Galaxy And 12 Year Long iPhone Ownership Experience Story: Here Are Things The Galaxy Does Better Than My iPhone

Disclaimer: Keep in mind that even though there are reliability issues with the Galaxy Note7 and the Galaxy Fold (2019) and I did experience some very minor bugs/issues with my Samsung Galaxy products, I have not experienced any major issues over the 11 years using various Samsung Galaxy devices, even the Note7, which was recalled due to the fact that numerous Note7s were exploding, and due to the recall, I had to abruptly switch over to the S7 Edge.

I did try my best to have as comprehen...

Pocket Casts just added global episode search and is now effectively perfect

This was the one and only weakness that Pocket Casts ever had, and even without a global episode search it was still the best podcatcher app IMO.

But the latest update added it, which makes it a perfect app in my eyes. Without flaw. Perfect design. Perfect functionality. No other podcast app on Android comes close with this addition IMO.

Clarification: by "global episode search" I mean you can now search for individual episodes across all podcasts by keyword....

Your mouse and keyboard settings affect Bluetooth controllers

Sorry if this is well known, I'm just excited I fixed my issue.

Ever since I switched back to Android, every Bluetooth input device I've had has had a minor delay. I got a cheap BT keyboard and if I typed too fast it would drop inputs. So I slowed down. I just got the 8bitdo SN30 Pro controller and it had the same issue. I could sit there and mash buttons and after 1 or 2 presses nothing would be happening.

Scouring the internet didn't help. Mostly I was lead to download some app to manage BT ...

Many Galaxy S23/S23+ have an hardware issue on the main camera that causes permanent blurred and smudged spots, Samsung refuses to aknowledge the issue and fix it.

As soon as I received my Galaxy S23, I noticed that there was a problem with the camera: there is frequently a blurry and smudged area on the left side of the photos shot with the device (in landscape, on the top side in portrait shots). This makes photos of documents and text almost unusable sometimes, but it's noticeable in all kinds of photos taken at a distance too.

It turns out that this problem is very widespread on these two devices, and numerous users have provided examples: https://im...
