Der ursprüngliche Plan, das Clipmikrofon an meinem OnePlus 3 mit vorhandenem Headset-Port zu verbinden, ist an dem Fakt gescheitert, dass #Android 9 scheinbar keine Auswahl externer Mikrofone erlaubt.

Is there such a thing as an opensource dB meter for #android? My many-years reliable playstore app just started blasting two-minute obnoxious audio adverts, and fdroid finds no matches 😒

A Chinese company is reviving the decade-old BlackBerry Classic with new hardware and installing Android on it for a modern experience.

Does somebody know this overlay thingy which annoys me since a couple of months and I don't know where to disable it.
It's not app-specific, it sometimes appears when I want to interact with something at the top of any app. It vanishes after touching somewhere else and is reduced to a white bar at the top.
I could not find out about its purpose or functionality. The middle part icons do nothing.

I'm still using Chrome and Google's built in search widget on android 12. Anyone got better alternatives I can use?
I find the widget really helpful but "AI Mode" is annoying me haha. Using proton pass btw.

Android planning to throw away their advantage over Apple's iOS and ban side-loading?

So, I was looking for a way for Android phones and iPhones to collaborate on a photo album. I use Google Photos on my Android phone, but this forces my iPhone friends to upload all their contacts to Google Photos which is a little icky. I found cluster.co which allows us to add photos to a shared album. Free to a point. What do you use?
#Android

With Google stupid package signature policy, #android is becoming increasingly closed, and unfortunately Linux phones still don’t seem ready for daily use. What options are you considering to work around the decline of Android?

Not many know that I tried #android 1.0
It was running on a HTC Diamond2 of my uncle, with no call or sms support. And no on-screen keyboard.
First device (HTC Dream) with android came out with 1.1, still no on-screen keyboard. That came in later with android 1.5 and the HTC Magic and the HTC Hero.

Welke Android slimmerik weet hoe je 'extra dimmen' permanent aan kunt zetten in Android (15)?
Op het moment schakelt Android de functie bij/na opladen automatisch uit. Dat slaat gewoon nergens op. Juist van de lader af wil ik dat mn accu lang meegaat (en ik met een druk op de knop wat extra licht krijg).

Oh, Android has gone all chunky and bold. That's a change.
Wonder what Ai features I should be turning off now.

Those findings vibe with me, but, like, what’s happening to the #Android ecosystem?

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

What options do I have for phones with good cameras that do not throw money down a fascist mega company's throat but still have good support for open ROMs and banking apps? I'm afraid the answer is none, but happy to hear any suggestions.

once again offering future riches to anybody who can tell me how to get rid of the emoji button from the typing field an #android gboard so i stop perpetually activating it. this setting is useless (& doesn't remove the emoji switch from elsewhere on the keyboard either).

Yet one more reason to use NewPipe if you are on Android and regularly watch videos not in your native language:
You can default to the original language of the video rather than the awful autodub they're doing now.

I've finally organized all my photos in per-date location directories on my PC. However, now I needed to sync the changes back to the phone.
#SyncThing doesn't work so well with such huge changes. So I've figured out I'll just delete it from ST for now, connect via MTP-over-USB, and use rsync on top of gvfs mount. However, rsync started throwing I/O errors.
Okay, nuclear option then. I'll remove all the old files (most of them were moved anyway), and then copy everything over via Thunar. So I've started deleting files via MTP, and it's progressing so slow. Okay, so I stopped that and instead use the file manager on the phone to delete them… but it's also slow. Finally, I've figured out to use #ADB and just do 'rm' from a shell — and that was finally fast.
Now to copy the 25 GiB back… Yeah, I keep all old photos on the phone as a backup.

I want to replace my mom's cell phone. I was hoping that there would be a good deal on a Pixel 10 right after they released it but it's just $800. Can I get a good deal on a Pixel 9? Nope! It's $800 also.

When I bought a #Pixel phone, I've spent three times as much as I usually spend. I figured out it's justified, since I'm finally going to have a phone with good software support (#GrapheneOS).
Over the last 6 months, #Google:
1. locked down the device tree,
2. increased embargo to security updates to 3 months,
3. broke battery charge limiter.
Won't recommend this to anyone.
