Lock Screen Security for Work Phones

I was excited to get my s10+ through work, especially since I was upgrading from an S8 that had a cracked screen. However, I'm really missing the iris scanner...

Due to work related policies, we can only use high security unlocks such as fingerprint, password, or iris scanning. Now that the iris scanner is no longer included in the s series (for now), I don't have a way to unlock my phone hands free. No good for gloves and winter.

I'm jealous of the "high security" face ID on the X.. 😒 Or at l...

Can anyone actually trim videos accurately with the lame native video editing app?

I'm beyond frustrated every time I have to crop a little snippet of a video accurately with my phone. The native Android editing app is so badly executed I just don't know how anyone copes with it. It's almost impossible to manipulate the start/end markers with any accuracy - either they don't respond to your finger, or they jerk about with such low resolution that I can only get to the point I'm looking to cut from with 1-2 second accuracy. Is there some technique I'm missing? Or is it the case...

Planned Obsolescence through Non-replaceable batteries

Android used to mean freedom. We could sit on our high horse and scoff at the silly iphones with their sealed batteries and black-box software.

​

But over the last few years, android phones have quietly been sealing their batteries too in the interest of having a slightly slimmer form. (Waterproof phone backs are possible, and the S5 is only 8mm thick, that is not an excuse.)

​

Unfortunately, Li-Po batteries have a lifespan of only 2-3 years, rendering the phone impractical and...

What is your unpopular opinion regarding Android which will necessarily go against the overall feeling of this subreddit?

I may get crucified for saying this, but for me, INBOX is not as special as this subreddit makes it out to be. I used inbox for 6 months and found that Gmail is almost as good as inbox. I will literally not miss anything when Google pulls its plug. ...
