First off, I loathe at&t. Never use them. Verizon was far superior. Anyway, I'm now having an issue where if I send any web links they get blocked over SMS, especially to iPhone users. Very very annoying. Not to mention group SMS/MMS being garbage now. I am not sure if it has to do with me using an esim for at&t or what. They wanted to force me into a new phone and I said no because I'll be going with a pixel and graphene after this contract is up. Anyone else have these issues? Also their WiFi calling is garbage, not that I need it anyway.

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/48972893 > Please share any knowledge or experience that you have on packet inspection using smartphones. I would like to sniff at my switch, which is switching between my (two LANs)^[I put "two LANs" within parentheses to denote that the two LANs are *not* being switched between.] and my ISP. For this, I have mirrored all ports that are in use to a port that is currently not in use. Can I simply buy one of those USB-C to Ethernet dongles and use `tcpdump` in Termux? Will Android recognize the dongle as a sniffable network interface? The phone is rooted.

I had a time-related work issue tonight and am seeking a way to guarantee it never recurs. Thanks in advance for any ideas! I have MacroDroid but I'm not sure of how to go about setting this up (namely the DND-overriding)...

If this can happen, is it possible that once mandatory developer verification comes into effect, all 3rd party apps will be uninstalled at first and require a re-install? Concerning this specific case, [NFCGate](https://github.com/nfcgate/nfcgate) is a tool on which [malware (family) titled NGate by ESET is based](https://www.eset.com/us/about/newsroom/research/eset-research-discovers-ngate-android-malware-which-relays-nfc-traffic-to-steal-victims-cash-from-atms-1/), thus likely causing a false positive. Oh, and no bypass is available anymore (aside from disabling play protect): 

I'm using GrapheneOS, the default Vanadium browser works great but it doesnt block ads. I want to install a 2nd browser just for youtube and my specific Google account for youtube. I also tried Newpipe and similar apps, but they cant use my Google's playlist and comments. I need them, that is why I think to use a 2nd browser. Is there a way to set Youtube links (youtube.com, m.youtube.com...etc) to be opened in a non default browser, say Brave or Firefox?

I'm looking for an Android app that strips EXIF from photos before I upload them somewhere. I really care mostly about removing geolocation. I searched on F-Droid, I didn't find much. Has anybody used [Scrambled Exif](https://f-droid.org/pl/packages/com.jarsilio.android.scrambledeggsif/) ?

Is there an explanation as to why exatcly update downloads are so slow from the game client in pretty much every game on Android i ever played that had such a thing. Screenshot is from magic arena but i also had this happen in fantasy war tactics and some other games ( cant really remember the games as they were more try and forget they ever existed type of thing ) By comparison the downloads from play store ale blazingly fast . Is that some Android limitation or was i just unlucky and those particular games had shitty servers. Also why are they not keeping the whole game in play store and doing this weird in game updates ( Probably it costs more but i would love confirmation ). 

The alternative app store Aptoide filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google in the USA over alleged monopolization. Aptoide, provider of an alternative Android app store, accuses Google of excluding competing app stores from the market by monopolizing app distribution and billing, thus violating US antitrust law.

Why do people spend money (and quite a lot of it) for devices that have less functionality than a smartphone? * Tablet is just a bigger screen, but not same power like a laptop. * Smartwatch is just tracking device that sends even more of your personal data. And BOTH are another battery that you have to worry about.

Basically, I have an extender for the garden but whenever I go to the garden, my phone remains connected to the extender when I'm back in the house and I can always tell because everything is always slower to load when connecting through it. How can I make my devices strongly prefer to connect to one SSID when both are there?

Google has really tried to go all in on automation since the rollout of its redesigned Home app in May. There's been the introduction of a new script editor, Nest Cam Indoor integration and, now, a whole slew of new routines to use. The company has announced 18 new routines — half starters and half actions — immediately available for Google Home users.

Forgive me for this stupid question. I just transitioned from iPhone to Pixel (GrapheneOS) and I'm curious why there isn't a built in PDF viewer like on iPhone? It feels like you have to open things externally pretty often, but I figure there's a reason for that. I haven't used Android in many years and I recently developed an interest for the technical aspects of things, so again, do forgive this beginners question. Cheers y'all!

If a release includes multiple apk, how do I download and install all of them using Obtanium? https://github.com/pass-with-high-score/Aneko-skin as an example? thanks a lot

My wife has a Pixel 7 Pro that recently broke (flashing screen. It is usable but annoying), but it had an active insurance plan on it. So, she got a replacement pixel 7 pro. This is the first time in a long time that I got to do an Android migration. (I should mention that my phone is made by a fruit company). I was really excited to see the option to plug in a usb cable and do a transfer! However, at the end of the transfer, I’m not really sure what the migration does? The message history and photos are moved across and she was logged onto her Google accounts, but really important details never got transferred ( like the image used for the wallpaper/lock screen, locations of the apps on the different home screens) Is this expected behavior for a migration, or did something go wrong? If this is expected, is there a way to get that info off of the old phone and onto the new phone?

> Google is rolling out Android System SafetyCore, and it'll power the upcoming Sensitive Content Warnings feature in Messages.

I know a lot of development is happening in the space and this answer will likely change. One of the crucial parts of my snoosite "workflow" if you can call it that, was a widget front and center on my phone using redditisfun:  I wonder if there are any apps, current or in some stage of development, that feature a basic "Frontpage" widget like this?

I would like to use wget or curl on Android, mostly to test my webserver against some rules that I set. I do have Termux on my tablet, but it will no longer install new packages, seems to be abandoned, maybe? Is there an app/way to have one or both of these commands working on Android (13) without root? My GoogleFoo is failing me. Thanks for any hint.

Newpipe hasn't worked on my Android for several days now. Has YouTube blocked the app, or did an update break it?

So i have since a few months a new phone the honor magic 5 pro and have some things i am looking for and hope you guys might be able to help me solve the problems i have i will list them from most likely you can solve them to least likely. 1. i have loads of saved wifi passwords/names on my old huawei p20 pro that i want to migrate to my new phone how do i do that (i currently don't have root on both phone's but am willing to get it if it doesn't void my warranty on the new phone and doesn't require me to do a new system install/wipe my phone and doesn't cost a crap ton of money (time is no issue))(edit i dont have acces to the wifi networks so qrcode sharing wont really work) 2. how do i optimize my battery usage regarding refresh rate and resolution? put it on low or smart? (both 60hz and low res is more than enough for me) also i have a app (track work time) that checks my location often can i maybe limit its frequency in settings? 3. how do i teach the power management system to without me disabling it (putting it off auto) in the settings not kill my mail apps and some other apps? 4. where is my wifi scanning frequency toggle in developers settings on my old phone it only ran a wifi scan every 30 seconds or so but in dev settings there was a disable rate limit switch. 5. do you know somewhere in the Netherlands that has public wifi 7 so i can test if it works on my phone? 6. how do i map my volume up and down buttons in the camera to something like manual focus or zoom? 7. in my camera app where is my megapixel setting or is there non and just high res or normal? 8. can i in software (again i dont have root see question 1) control my charging speed to limit it to something like 500ma instead of the max a charger can supply? 9. is there a way to get an lower brightness than the minimum on the slider? or will my display look just always display white at max brightness(or what feels like it when its dark around me)? 10. is there a way to get my 960fps 720p slowmo back from my 5 year old huawei p20 pro on my honor magic 5 pro? Thanks for your help solving this issues for me or letting me know if it can not be done.

I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

When using the clock/prime hub mode screensaver it cuts off the bottom part of the 'g' in 'eighteen', but only for the minutes and not the hour. It's a weird one because at eight minutes past the hour, the 'g' in 'eight' is fine. I'm on the beta version of Android so bugs are expected, but Google say they can't reproduce this one. Has anyone else seen this?
