ADB vs Spy cam & mic

A simple but **not universal** way to monitor spyware activity on a Android smartphone that does not require root rights or custom firmware.

* enable the **USB Debugging** option on smartphone, install ADB drivers (if necessary), install ADB utility (for example, with Android SDK Platform-Tools)
* connect smartphone to a PC and launch command shell on PC
* execute command **adb shell**
* execute monitoring command (monitoring media.camera service)

Google's decision to not sync Gmail during doze unilaterally changes email UX

Google made an arbitrary decision to not sync Gmail at high priority during doze, unilaterally changing email UX. Rather than being notified within seconds of receiving an email, users now can expect to wait up to 30 minutes, or in some cases until they power on their device, before receiving some push notifications. Doze is a battery optimization that has a significant savings impact on battery life, but email needs to be delivered in a timely manner and should be exempt from doze. This has be...

Quick Thought: The Galaxy M (if real) Should Be VR Capable to Destroy The Competition

For those who are not aware, Samsung is rumored to be making a phone with a VERY AGGRESSIVE price tag. The phone is expected to cost between 200-300 U.S dollars with the specs including

Exynos 7885
1080 x 2200 teardrop notch display
3-4gb ram
5000 milliamp hour battery
Android 9.0
13 megapixel 2160p camera
64gb storage
Launch Date: Expected to Be Late 2019

Now if I were Samsung, I'd put VR on it. Why? Because not only would it make it the best budget phone around (The VR and Availabil...

[IDEA] Using the Hole Punch as a battery indicator/clock!

[https://imgur.com/a/q7xi7iv](https://imgur.com/a/q7xi7iv)

​

What if we used the hole punch as a design feature rather than a design flaw? We can save on the space used on the right e.g. battery indicator or time and make a battery ring or analog clock? Excuse my shitty drawings...but you get the idea -- no need for the clock/battery on the right if you can use the ring around the camera

​

The idea here is now you actually end up with more notification space....
