Android 15 lets you turn off your network connection and wifi when your screen is locked! - Security problem
After updating to Android 15, I realized that when the screen is locked, it’s possible to turn on or off the data connection, Wi-Fi, and even airplane mode. This could be a serious security issue because, in case of theft, the first thing a thief would do is try to disable the phone’s connection, making it impossible to locate the device.
Talking about this with some friends who own Pixel 7 and 8, we noticed that in previous versions, this was not allowed. For instance, if you tried...

Is There A Hidden Profit Motive Behind Ads & Bloatware On Phones?
Have you ever wondered why so many phone brands are pre-installing a ton of unnecessary apps on their devices? It’s almost as if phones are sold with a built-in set of distractions. But is there more to it than just filling up storage?
Here’s a thought: Phone manufacturers might be using bloatware as a profit-generating mechanism. The apps they pre-install are often backed by third-party companies who pay the phone manufacturers to have them on the device. It’s a win-win for brands who are ge...

I’m sharing my experience with Chipolo to warn others about their unreliable products and convoluted return process. I first noticed the defect when I couldn’t find my wallet and, of course, the Chipolo tracker failed to help me locate it. If you’re considering buying their trackers, here’s what you need to know:
