    Android Auto vs. Apple CarPlay: Which is best for you?

    Apple Maps has one killer feature that I wish Google Maps could copy. Announce turns using traffic lights. "turn right on the second traffic light". "Turn left at the next stop sign". As opposed to turn right in 200 ft. Who can guage ft especially if there are multiple turns close to each other...

    Onyx Boox Leaf 2 review: A pleasant delight

    I am completely underwhelmed by literally every single thing on the Leaf 2. I have the Boox Poke 3 and it's a much much better device. The Leaf 2 is extremely uncomfortable to hold. With the case, it's even worse. The case juts out (as opposed to the Poke 3 case) digging into your palms. But...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    Can't quote without getting a spam threshold error. But this is in response to litrekid My 6P had *massive* burn-ins. On the notification shade bar and the navigation icons. And it bled through on lighter backgrounds. Obviously not in 2 days, but well within a year. I should have returned...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    No blue tint on my Pixel XL. No matter how much I turn it. Waiting for the Pixel 2 XL to compare. I doubt the muted color is going to impact me. I have turned on sRGB on my Pixel XL from Dev Options.

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    The phone on the left is Android (navigation buttons). The one on the right is an iPhone (menu icons). Having said that, I don't understand how the Pixel 2 has better whites on an OLED screen than an LCD screen.

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    The phone tint is another issue. On color calibration, I have a question for folks who had the Nexus 6P and the Pixel XL, did you guys set sRGB on from Developer Options? I found the orange on my 6P and the Pixel XL to be completely unnatural. And I turned on sRGB on both phones. I showed...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    The question is what do you do with the photos after editing them? I use a colorific calibrator on my display and calibrate it every 3 months or so. I use Photoshop to edit my DSLR photos and then use a color calibrated printer to print them. The entire workflow uses color calibrated devices...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Discussion

    Completely off topic. But what stand do you use? I have tried a few stands. The small ones are totally flimsy and the only really stable one is collapsible, but still too long to carry around.

    Battery saver in notifications

    That is not what he's asking. He doesn't want to hide the Battery Saver Toggle - which is what your suggestion would do. When you turn on the battery save option, an ongoing notification is displayed in the notification shade that battery saver has been enabled - even if the phone is fully...

    Is it possible to delete apps from Google Play Store account using laptop/desktop?

    I saw this in Lifehacker. But it doesn't work (at least not any more). Edit: Oh. This works from the Play Store App. I was trying to do that from the web. And also, multi-select and delete unfortunately doesn't work. You have to delete them one at a time. I used to never bother with the...

    Looking for Android equivalent to papers for iOS

    Yeah, I realized that after reading up on what research and bibliography software does. Another software that may be what you could use, but is not yet available is Readcube. Download ReadCube Desktop You may perhaps see if you can get in their beta program.

    Looking for Android equivalent to papers for iOS

    I had never heard of this so I took a quick look at Papers for iOS and from a quick glance, it seems to be an app that catalogs documents and provides search capability. If you need the search capability than you are really going to need an app that does that. Looks like this one does - Free...

    Woo hoo! Finally a contest in which I can participate. No social networking requirement. I don't use, and never will use Facebook, Twitter and especially Google+ - the one social networking service I may have joined if Goggle hadn't tried shoving it down my throat at every turn and ended up...
