Android Q fixed adguard private DNS rebooting on my Pixel 2 XL
For those who don't know and might've banged their heads against the wall, if you used dns.adguard.com as a private dns provider on a Pixel, you'd get frequent reboots.
I'm on the recently released Android Q beta and used the DNS all day without a single reboot, making me think that this beta already has the bug fixed.
For those interested, on Android 9 and up you can use a custom private DNS on your phone. This is relevant to people such as I, who fiddle with adblockers that just use VPNs to ...

S10e managed to hit 13h of screen on time yesterday.
Few days ago it hit 9 hours of SOT with moderate usage and I thought that was pretty impressive.

But then I decided to do a more real world test for me personally and charged the phone to 100% then went to the gym did some shopping. That was 4-5 hours of LTE on vanced, and connected to bluetooth.

Could Google please darken the splash screen in their apps?
Basically noscript: Google's is doing a pretty good job with the dark mode on their apps (YouTube, News, Phone etc). I also prefer grey over black which is what they're doing, thumbs up!
But can they please darken the splash screen? It's quite inconsistent when everything is dark. For instance, Reddit and Wikipedia do that.
