sometimes you have things arranged in rows on wider screens might have to be arranged in columns (or fewer items per row) on narrower screens.

that one site blue train posted does have a *little* bit of that going on on the front page.

android can't send a text without lagging in 2018

EdEddnEddy posted:

I believe it as I have tried using like 8 of those. Each has their little cool bit, each will never make it anywhere unless they merge them all into one single freaking app...

I know I keep way to many SMS stored on my phone, but with the spend of UFS and our Processors these days, it shouldn't be a hard task to still allow it to load up and text without lagging like I'm on a phone from 2008. Hell I get more "Messenger is not responding" Popups waiting for a text to send than ever these days. Textra just sends it almost as fast as I can hit send.

As for Textra, when does an ad come up or a in app purchase so I can throw money at this? I am not seeing an option anywhere and only a little blip that an Add/Option will come up occasionally....

they already have it in their phone but want the option to pay to remove the ads

a lot of android apps don’t have this and will serve ads forever and ever

Phone maker BLU is settling charges that it allowed a China-based partner to collect a mountain of customers' personal data—including full content of text messages, real-time locations, telephone numbers, contacts, and installed apps—despite promises it would keep such details private.

....

At the time of the Kryptowire update, Amazon said it was suspending sales of BLU phones. A quick search on Monday showed a variety of BLU phones available from the online retailer.

i'd have to go look up how much ram is in an iPhone 8, it never occurred to me to give a gently caress when I got it. apparently it has enough because it works very well.

it's weird how android appeals to the type of people who are really into min/maxing performance specs, but who also have a blind spot to the fact that apple's cpus are a generation ahead in performance

when i went from a moto x to a 6s two years ago one of the things that blew me away was that when you rotated the phone the screen didn't consistently lock up for a second or two or struggle to redraw the screen on first-party apps

I’m on an iPhone 6 and the main issue I have is seeing something on Facebook, app switching to safari to get a link, and switching back to find its already lost where I was and forced a reload.

Given that’s my main issue with hardware coming up to 4 years old, that’s not too shabby.

yeah phones are small of course they have tiny ram in them. do you want them to shove dimms in there or soemthing?

it should be noted that youre looking at a specific subset of android users which is the group only interested in price

this group cares mostly about specs because its not like they can afford to shop based on how good an experience the device gives the user so they have to get the best crappy experience their $200 can buy and at that pricepoint some things like ram and software variant matter more than others

they dont mention the iphones performance for the same reason they dont mention the pixels or the galaxy s9 which is they cant afford one so it doesnt matter
