The upcoming Nothing Phone 2a has been officially confirmed and is poised to mark the company's entry into the budget smartphone segment. Drawing inspiration

Xiaomi is set to announce the Xiaomi 14 Ultra globally on Feb. 25. However, the brand will first hold a dedicated launch event in China on Feb. 22 to unveil

Android 15 (code named Vanilla Ice Cream) is set to revolutionize user experiences, promising enhanced productivity, superior media capabilities, optimized battery impact

Automatic updates broke your phone; the fix is a highly technical manual process.

Support WebGPU on Android, use of DXC for shader compilation, timestamp queries in compute and render passes, default entry points to shader modules, support display-p3 as GPUExternalTexture color space, memory heaps info, and more.

The 2020 lawsuit said Google was deceiving people into thinking that they could control the information they're willing to share.

Victory Royale.

Candy Crush would have been the gateway drug.

Heya!

(I don't know can you post questions here - I didn't see it being against the rules in this magazine)

.

Can I set my phone to alert about any call even when the vibration or the silent mode is enabled?
I looked into the settings but I didn't see ways to set it up like that. When I set either mode and try to slide the audio, it jumps back to Sound mode.

Google's "solution" can't do anything for bootlooping devices.

Web Integrity pivots to Android, could permanently kill YouTube Vanced-style apps.

But it is for security reasons - it is always about security reasons when old devices and now even old apps have to be thrown away.

Android 14 offers a lightly customizable lock screen and not much else.

(Does anybody care about Android 14?
Currently, those who will end up with a bricked Pixel phone.)

Users with multiple profiles are getting locked out of local storage and losing data.

(It wouldn't shock me if they found out that this bug is related to all the changes Google has been making the last few years to prevent users and apps from being able to access their files in a normal way because it's trying to make Android a bad copy of iOS.)

How’s the update working out for you?

Pixel 8's 7 years of software updates is revolutionary... maybe

Google picks who gets features.

It's really annoying, and stops the music I'm listening to.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it doesn't have a built in DAC (or at least it's disabled in the SoC firmware).

Addendum: it's not that it unplugs completely, but rather the USB DAC loses power and/or data connection.

All the displays, cameras, batteries, and back plate are now for sale.

Fun fact: the phone has leaked 500 times this week.

You won’t use Pixel Pass to upgrade to a Pixel 8 in October.

The Fairphone 5 will keep on trucking until at least 2031.

The last 25 years of Google’s history can be boiled down to a battle against the Google bomb. Is the search engine finally losing to its hijackers?

Why give money to the people that develop surveillance tech? Isn't that the opposite of fostering privacy alternatives?
