Can we talk about the messaging app Signal?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 12:50 PM PST

I've been using Signal for a few days. Previously this year I used Textra and then Messenger by Google.

I'm really impressed by Signal. I'm using it as my complete messaging app (SMS, and everything else). A couple of my associates use it too and we can message securely. Pretty neat.

Textra has cool features. I really liked the drop down notifications and replies from Textra. Fortunately, Signal seems to have almost exactly the same ones! So using Textra is moot now unless you like customizing colors a lot.

Messenger by Google was beautiful and simple. I liked the different colors by conversation and it was a great design. Signal seems to be taking the best from Google's Messenger client as well.

I had also, in the past, used a secure messaging service but Signal also incorporates that!

It is the end of searching for messengers for me. I love it! (iPhone users can get it too, but we all know you can't change default apps on iPhone, sorry for them!).

So I am just really surprised and happy with it. Thought you guys should know.

Do you guys encrypt your phone?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 02:26 PM PST

Just wondering how many of you encrypt your phones. I'm thinking of enabling it on the Galaxy S5 that I'm using currently but because its 32bit it might kill its performance....

/r/Android, what are your favourite phone accessories?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 01:11 PM PST

I always get the usual accessories when I get a phone. Case(s), screen protectors, etc.

What are your favourite accessories for your phone or to complement your phone? Feel free to recommend a particular brand, but try not to get too shill-ey.

[DEV] Sunrise With A Picture 2.0 Released! (Codes Inside)

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 02:01 PM PST

Hello everyone! I am here to announce that I have launched version 2.0 of my app Sunrise With A Picture!!

This update includes lots of awesome changes that have made the app very user friendly and more convenient to use!

Let's just jump right in with the changes:

  • A backup of all picture cards can now be exported to a folder and then imported later (making moving from different devices a breeze)
  • Images shown in the sheet or dialog can now be clicked which will show the image in its separate viewer (making zooming and editing a lot easier)
  • The picture cards can now be collapsed and expanded so that it is easier to manage all cards and to take up less room
  • Picture items can now be enabled and disabled directly from the list, instead of needing to open it like before
  • The background color option now shows in it's color to make it easier to remember what was selected
  • The cards can now be rearranged to make organizing and prioritizing a lot simpler

This update has had a lot of time put into it and I would really appreciate it if y'all could give it a look and leave any and all feedback you may have! Thanks! :D

Finally, I have 50 codes to give away to y'all! For those that don't know, here is a guide explaining how to use codes

Once again, thanks so much for the previous feedback and for checking out the app! It would be so amazing if y'all could give it a try and if you like it, share it with your friends! Thanks again! :)

Shower Thought: Why not 2 USB ports?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 06:23 PM PST

Ever since the rumor of Samsung potentially not including a 3.5mm headphone jack on the S8, I've been thinking of this obvious solution. Why not include two USB-C ports?

This way, you will be able to use USB headphones while simultaneously charging. Also considering USB-OTG devices and the transition of "a computer in your pocket", this will allow for connecting to monitors/TVs without needing an adapter to charge.

The obvious limitation is that of space, but Samsung has shown that they're not afraid to make a phone thicker (S6 to S7) for essential functions. I'm not an engineer, but I doubt that a second USB port would be much larger/bulkier than a headphone port. It would also be nice to choose which side of the phone to use wired headphones or to charge, as I've encountered situations where either the top or the bottom was preferred.

With Apple and now Samsung moving on this direction, what are the chances that other manufacturers might adopt this idea?

Why does everyone love stock Android so much?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 06:36 PM PST

Maybe I'm just not as picky, but I've used LGs skin, Touchwiz, MIUI, HTCs skin, and of course the vanilla Nexus builds.

I'm honestly confused why people make such a big deal about this, and I'm hoping you folks can fill me in.

Other than Touchwiz and MIUI, I didn't find such a massive difference where I remotely cared about the changes. Nova changes the home screen, and the notification bar seems awfully similar to me in most builds.

What phone was the worst device for it's time?

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 05:54 PM PST

The most obvious ones are crappy budget phones like the Galaxy Mini and the Huawei Ascend Y101.

However there were some that were horrible because of technical problems or overhyped marketing...

So, r/Android, which devices were the worst?
