If phone battery drops, replace battery immediately

Dear reddit
I recently read that someone noticed their battery act funny and drop rapidly over the space of a few weeks. It turns out their battery was bloated and potentially dangerous. I realised my phone's battery had also recently dropped and then noticed a protrusion near the power button but didn't remember dropping the phone.

I got my local phone shop to replace the battery and turns out it had a small hole in it and actually smelt really bad up close. I didn't notice any of that smell ...

Asus ROG Phone Review

I bought it 2 days ago, So It cant be a full review.

In short Its a good phone but doesnt worth the money, If it was 200 USD cheaper then it would match the device qualities and features.

The Phone gets hot pretty soon after playing like 5-10 mins, The vent at the back is just for decoration and no cooling is being done there, The accessory fan cant be install on your phone if you have installed their official phone case! Very poor designing! so you need to remove the case which Its not easy a...

I made a hotspot UI concept for Android Q

I made an UI concept based on [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQOo-XrBoQg).

[https://imgur.com/a/cTN6sO2](https://imgur.com/a/cTN6sO2)

I think these kind of pop-up interfaces could replace the expandable quick settings which were removed in Android P.

The issue tracker link is --removed--

1- that was the wrong link

2- Google removed my post from the issue tracker or made it private...

The Galaxy M series (M20, M30) Have the most intrusive ADS i have seen in a long time from a Mainstream OEM

As many here know, Xiaomi has been critisized for have ADS within MIUI and this is a practise which is bad and despite it being able to be turned off, its still a bad practise.

One key thing i saw some users here and Twitter say is to go with the Galaxy M series because they would not contain Adverts unlike MIUI.

Well a review site (Gadgets 360) has shown has shockingly bad these ads are, MUCH more intrusive than what is seen in Miui

Made a quick video showing how Samsung flagship phones will always win in those silly 'speed tests' using the App Pair feature.

Been thinking about this the other day in the shower (As one does). Like why don't these 'speed tests' folks truly utilize the phones to their potential? There is nothing 'realistic' or 'scientific' to begin with, so why not just go all out on what these phones can do! So I was messing around with this feature, and from what I can tell... loading 2 apps at the same time isn't really slower than singles, so you can gain huge amount of lead this way.

So here is a quick demo I did with 1 hand, wh...

A tiny scrolling difference makes iOS so much more satisfying to scroll than Android

I am generally very happy with Android's scrolling. I like medium to fast scrolling on Android more than iOS (iOS limits the speed to let things load and keep things smooth), it feels more responsive and when you flick it, you get the speed you expect.

But when it comes to slow scrolling (this is when you're focused and are looking for something) iOS has a small tweak that makes it very satisfying to scroll. And this tweak is with the inertia. On iOS, when you make a small flick, the screen kee...
