New phone with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus: should I still buy a screen protector? in c/askandroid@lemdro.id

Using them? I can understand not getting cracked screens but I think avoiding scratches entirely especially across multiple phones would be a significant feat unless you just really baby your phones.

Xiaomi won't give Android updates if you unlock your bootloader in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No it doesn't. Also you can just relock the bootloader. Google doesn't care.

I think that's Samsung. The Pixels don't have a fuse AFAIK.

Well depends on why you're unlocking the bootloader. Some people just want root but not necessarily a custom ROM. Though for some phones a custom ROM may be more appealing than others.

Google One VPN is 'built into' the Pixel 8 with no persistent notification in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I understand, Google One had its own persistent notification (left side) when using the VPN as well as the normal key icon (right side). So now it just has the latter.

It disappeared for me too a while back.

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications. in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For Android, having apps ask for permission for notifications is a very new feature (debut in Android 13 I think) so by default apps notifications were collectively permitted. It would be up to the user to explicitly go in and disable notifications after the fact. I think many people either didn't know how to access the notification settings or just didn't care enough to disable them.

So what is Shizuku? in c/askandroid@lemdro.id

[–] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's not as powerful as root but it does give you more capabilities. You would need to check the individual app for what functionality and limitations it has with Shizuku.
