Check with your carrier and see if they have a dedicated app. When I had AT&T, they had an excellent spam blocker. I haven’t haven’t checked with my new carrier because the built-in spam blocker on pixel is very good.

Maybe try this one? I’ve read it’s one of the better ones.

It’s working fine for me.

I just want to thank the new mod team for stepping up. These sound good, will be excited to see where the community goes from here.

I appreciate bi-weekly brand discussion, I’ve learned some new things already from it.

While I mostly agree with the no AMA/no megathread, I would hope maybe there would be some wiggle room for those times when someone gets hands on with a prerelease device at an event for example.

Sometimes this can help to get our questions to the dev team before final release or generally gives us an idea of whether a device is worth considering, whether for a new device or an upgrade over a previous model, since reviews often don’t come till after pre-orders have already been placed.

Looks like they took most of the best Samsung features and finally made them native. This update looks promising to me. Thanks a lot.

This is the first year I haven’t followed beta updates, is there any major improvements in 14? Or is it just incremental like 13 was?

I’ve never had a good experience with Samsung till recently. The s4 overheated an insane amount, the s7 edge dropped wifi left and right, then finally I tried the fold 3 on my 3rd attempt at Samsung.

I enjoyed the phone for the aspect of the fold, the software handled it really well. But, one ui couldn’t get out of its own way, it had a lot of nice extra features, but also had a lot of useless (to me) extra features. The bloat like others mentioned was bad. But ok, not super offensive like it was on the old touch wiz.

I kept that phone a little over a year, the battery aged terribly. It started out great, then by the 7 or 8 month mark, it just dove off a cliff. At the 11th month, the factory screen protector, the one that’s like essential to the phone, popped a huge bubble right in the middle where the fold happens. Thankfully that was under warranty and I got replaced, but that was when I knew it was time to go.

I picked up a pixel 6 pro and sold the fold 3. I’m now on the pixel 7 pro. I replaced the galaxy buds with pixel buds, but I kept the watch. I will give it to Samsung on that, they have the best wear os watch experience I’ve ever used.

The experience syncing devices in the ecosystem was very nice, very apple like, and I do miss the quick sync between my phone and tablet. Google messages PWA is nowhere near as nice as the messages app on the Tab S7. Not being able to take phone calls on it anymore kinda sucks too. The earbuds and watch are pretty fluid, but not quite as seamless as when it was all Samsung.

I had great experiences with Motorola in the past. Probably lean towards that.

I loved my Essential PH-1 and I wish that would have gotten a new device, but alas, I love my Pixel and each time I ventured out to try something new, I always returned.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I wasn’t happy about it either, but I was just answering objectively.

The mods from r/Android started their own Lemmy instance called lemdro.id. Among the communities they opened was c/Android. There was already an Android community on Lemmy.world the was active with 15k+ subscribers.

The mods decided to merge with the communities and move over to lemdro.id in the hope to fight fragmentation. They locked the Lemmy.world instance to keep as an archive. And now we’re here.

I’ll add the post they made in bit.

Just started using bitwarden maybe 3 months after I noticed an uptick in unwarranted 2FA requests, possibly the best decision I’ve made. Getting used to it took a little while, being used to builtin auto fill features from browsers, etc. But after getting the hang of it, logging in has become a breeze, same with credit cards.
