Why isn't there a data usage widget by default, the information is available only three levels deep in the hierarchy of the settings app

i cannot fathom a single reason for any of those permissions, and time and time again i wish phones had an option to say yes but actually no and provide apps with fake versions of whatever permissions they demand (but then they'd start screening for those, etc)

Messenger used to deny you the use of any of the location features at all unless you set it to "Always". I think they have since recanted on that one.

I have a karaoke control app (so you can search for songs and reserve them) and it requires:
I set the first three to "only while using the app" and I manually edit the permissions to deny access for the last three when I'm not going to be using the app for awhile. It immediately asks for access when the app starts again, and refuses to initialize if any permission is outright denied.

android manufacturer oneplus, most notable for hinting that if women sent them nudes they'd give them the opportunity to buy their phone, is apparently blacklisting popular apps from using the fast cores in their phones, absolutely destroying performance. to no one's surprise, popular benchmarking apps are not included and run at full speed https://www.anandtech.com/show/16794/oneplus-9-performance-examination bonus last year's iphones having 20-50% more numbers than this year's androids in said benchmarks

but you see it's actually good for users because it gives them longer battery life also i guess they dont know what race to sleep is it's extremely on brand for them to say "yep we have this extremely fast chip in our phone" to tick off the checklist of items and then sell their customers a phone that performs much worse in most common apps

Zamujasa posted:i cannot fathom a single reason for any of those permissions believe me I’m not at all caping for Samsung here in any regard but you can’t do BLE without granting location permission, because of the possibility that an app will really be asking to use BLE beacons to resolve location. since it’s a non-trivial possibility android has you asking for location if you want to pair with a BLE smart device, which then pisses everyone off when something like the app for their weed vape is asking for location permission wasn’t until Android 12 this year that they have broken this out with a different permission to make clear you’re really looking for BLE so it’ll take 10 years for this to shake out as for the other permissions, yeah, why the hell

what’s a good android tablet for watching (not streaming) video? I won’t use it for anything but watching mostly pirated video files in an area with no internet or cell connection so I don’t need any substantial productivity or gaming or networking capability. it’s going to replace the Samsung tablet I got in 2017 for $175 that’s slowly dying so I’d like to keep it in that ballpark pricewise. I’ve been told the Fire 10 Plus is a solid option and I’m leaning toward that unless someone can convince me the Samsung S6 Lite or something is significantly better

occasionally if I’m being lazy or think of it last minute I’ll have it download stuff while I get ready for work rather than bring it to my computer to drop the files on

it would have been news to me except i know someone who bought an acer android go tablet last month because it was "cheap", and boy howdy is it ever. it's like trying to use an underspecced 386 w/4mb ram to run windows 95. there's no way to tell if it's actually registered a touch input and is just hung, slow, or if somehow the tap didn't happen. every single interaction takes multiple seconds. i have no idea how you could actually use the thing to accomplish anything

I use google on my iPhone and it will route me directly into a +30 minute traffic jam if it saves half a mile. I looked it up and there’s no way to force it to choose the fastest route, they changed it to choose the “greenest” route
