I use Samsung’s T4510 charger and cable combo. For third party chargers I believe they need to be PD PPS3.0 and the cable needs to be 5A.

Some devices taper off their fast charging faster than others. It doesn’t have to be at 80%. Just as an example you can see the charts in the charging review for the S24 Ultra here: https://www.chargerlab.com/charging-review-of-samsung-s24-ultra/. A fun fact is that since Samsung 45W tapers off so much there isn’t much difference compared to their 25W charging. The difference is 10mins at best. Sometimes the 45W can be just a hair slower even.

The 8 has a shitty optical sensor. You’ve gotta try those Samsung ultrasonic sensors or those on the Pixel 9s. Way different experience. Just a light tap and it unlocks.

I’m gonna have to say no to that. I love my ultrasonic sensor. It works when wet and is in a way more reachable location (the screen). No need to reach behind the phone or stretch your finger to unlock, no need to lift your phone when it’s on a table. The success rate is basically identical and it’s lightning fast, even faster than a physical sensor. The final perk is it doesn’t create a large circle opening on the back of a case so the back of your phone is totally smooth save for the camera.

Qualcomm settles and continues to pay ARM a bigger shitload of money, Qualcomm SoC prices increase to make up for that, phone prices increase further.

I like Brave because it’s fast and smooth with great AdBlock and security.

Google and Samsung both have a track record of delivering updates even past the promised date so far.

Their phones are far too expensive and their software support is horrible.

The reader being under the screen makes the most sense in my opinion. It’s the part of the phone you touch the most. And speed is a non issue anymore. Ultrasonic sensors are about as fast if not faster than the old capacitive ones now. They’re also as accurate in my experience and after a while I’ve learned to put my finger exactly where it is so it’s a non issue. It also unlocks when my finger is wet unlike the older capacitive ones which is huge for me. So in conclusion I disagree. Fingerprint sensors should be in display and ultrasonic.

I’m using Samsung OneUI launcher now. It does most of what I needed Nova to do anyway.

No, you can only remove it with Goodlock now.

Aye, OP, check if you can find Goodlock on the Galaxy Store. Go into the “Life up” section on the Goodlock app and download Registrar. It should allow you to set either the back double /triple tap and/or a press and hold of the side button to take a screenshot, as shown here.

Nah, you’re using your own API key.

Works for free if you patch it with ReVanced.

They changed their bootloader unlock policy. Avoid like the plague.

Thanks!

Haiya literally just finished studying for a statistics final so I went on Lemmy and the first post I see is more statistics =). Haha, anyway, great work!

It was a bug a while back. It went away, now it came back. It’s been here again for what? 1,2 months now? Actually, now that I think about it, it’s been an on and off bug ever since Android gained gesture navigation and the gesture bar LMAO.

That’s all fine and good but I need them to fix the battery drain first. It drains an insane amount of battery on Android. It drains more than games.

I will justify it in four words: It’s a Hades sequel.
