I have to agree. A16 is looking to include more features and improvements than A15.

Hopefully my Pixel 6a makes the cut for Android 16.

6 series (don’t know about 6a) won’t receive major OS updates anymore.

8 and 9 series come with seven years of OS updates.

I remember trying K9 years ago and the UI/UX felt hostile to me trying to add accounts and I uninstalled it. Tried it again last year or so and it was painless. It just worked.

It’s now my default email app and I look forward to improvements as it becomes Thunderbird.

Genius Bar

Yep.

The moment they fix the search, fix their recommendations, stop wasting money on junk projects like games and allow me to completely disable Shorts, I will resubscribe to YT Premium.

Maybe for a month if I’m on a trip to a remote location. Don’t really see a use for it other than that.

Wow that’s a pretty app. Thanks for introducing me to it!

• KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
• Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
• Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
• AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
• Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
• Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
• Save To…: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don’t give the option to save.
• Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider’s restrictions on hotspot.

These were made for the UK market to promote the PSP.

I switched to Notesnook recently. Would like to see a few improvements like note archiving, but other than that it’s been great.

They ran a 75% off sale recently and I snagged a subscription. It’s $10/yr if you’re a student, $50/yr otherwise.

Pixel by any chance?

I run into this bug every other day on my Pixel 6a. Also causes “swipe down on pill to use one-handed mode” to break. Have to reboot every time to fix it.

I used to think the same, until it happened to me twice…

I got playful groans both times for being the only person in a class group with an Android. I have an iPad so it ended up being a non-issue.

Heck, I was talking to a guy with a Pixel 7 who said the woman he was dating thought it was a red flag. She’s 28.

I’m not saying it should exist, but stuff like this very much affects people whether we like it or not and pretending like it’s a non-issue doesn’t help them.

I don’t think it’s an Android feature. It shows up on desktop as well.

Gonna check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Gonna give it a look. Appreciate the recommendation!

Google’s own Phone app has call recording. It’s enabled/disabled depending on your region/device.

I miss my Nexus 4 :( Loved everything about it.

Took it to the beach like an idiot and killed it.

I had the 8 GB version and it was madness. I would have to keep clearing cache from apps every week. Rooting it and installing custom ROMs on it was fun.

Before that, my dad had the Nexus One. It was kinda slow.

Unfortunately, yeah.

It has been forked, thankfully, under the name of Fossify. Following the project for updates.
