What are your best Tasker profiles?

I recently got Tasker, and I would like to know what profiles do you guys use. I currently have one to replicate iOS notifications on the lockscreen, so I can see the content without actually unlocking my phone, and one that turns data on and off wether or not I'm connected to WiFi....

P30 Pro initial thoughts from a regular user

Will keep this short as I've only been using it for three days.

* On opening the box, first reaction is, wtf, where's the screen protector???
* Second reaction, where the f's the silicon case like I had with P20 pro???
* Third reaction, not even a USB-C headphone adapter? The cheap bastards!
* Wrap around screen is the nicest I've used, and much more responsive at the edges than any on the sammy's, I'm not shouting in frustration when trying to move icons from one screen to another
* It...

Which "axed" Android feature do you miss?

So this post is partly about venting and partly hoping for someone with more of an understanding of software development to offer some cogent feedback.

One thing that I've noticed is that overtime updates have been improving the "out of the box" experience and overall visual simplicity of Android.

Samsung S10 (Exynos - European version) huge battery problem.

After a few days of hell reading loads of threads on XDA forums and various Reddit posts :

1. Samsung S10 Exynos - Average : 4h37 SoT
2. Samsung S10 Snapdragon - Average : 6h21 SoT

That's it. Samsung didn't even acknowledged the huge battery issue on the S10. Why isn't this blowing up ? It's just not normal...

My 2 month long experience with Android Auto

Hi all,

So I am making this post to talk about my experience with Android Auto because it was certainly a nice perk to consider as an lifelong Android user and I think others might want to know as well.

**Phone** - LG V35

**Car** - 2019 Nissan Sentra SR

**USB Cable** - LG provided, Pixel XL provided, Anker bought on Amazon

_______

So how has the past month+ with Android Auto been?

Absolutely awful. I don't know if it's a problem with the car but I've tried multiple cables and have even d...
