OOooof, is 62KB/sec top speed for Android to MacOS Bluetooth file transfers?

Learned this this is actually possible, lacking AirDrop for the one member of the house who has to have an Android phone. Mac Bluetooth sharing is pretty cool, but highly impractical when it takes 8 minutes to transfer 6 picture from the OnePlus 9 to the MacBookPro…

Does anyone in the #Fediverse happen to have the last / an official #LineageOS 16 build for the Moto X 2014 (victara) lying around somewhere?

I've already looked in the Wayback Machine with no luck, so if no one has an #Android 9 build for the device, I will have to resort to building it myself from the sources. Would have been nice to have a build signed with the official LineageOS keys though. ;)

@ferricoxide #Google really has a #glanceability issue. I remember when people were giving them flack for their icons all being different sizes on #Android, now they have the inverse problem.

#Microsoft at least seems to vary symbols a little more heavily when colors are the same.

Google’s worst offender at the moment is #Keep and #Slides. Their functionally the same icon with only a small inner icon to differentiate them.

Are there any non root Android apps or tools to figure what app scheduled a pending alarm?

On my phone I see alarm icons in the status bar, possibly scheduled at odd times by some astronomy or space app as reminders of celestial events. Yet nothing relevant shows up in their settings. And the alarms never fire.

The Google #Android #keyboard app of my wife is broken: it doesn't show word suggestions although it should. (I even compared its settings 1:1 with mine where it works.)

What alternative would you suggest?

Requirements: LineageOS-compatible, no network permission (necessary) and working word suggestions for EN and/or DE.

Ich weiß ja noch immer nicht, was ich von #Bluesky halte. Aber mit dem neuesten Update der #Android App rennt diese auf jeden Fall genau so gut wie das #iOS Pendant.

Otro consejito, para recién llegados y no tan recién llegados. #Mastodon y el #Fediverso en general pueden usarse desde muchas #apps. Su protocolo es abierto, lo que permite que cualquiera diseñe una app con todas las funciones, variando diseño, implementación, etc.

Por eso hay tantas opciones, para todos los gustos. Y, para conocerlas, tenéis esta tabla comparativa de características. Para iOs, Android y Web/Pc:

@esther Thanks! On #Samsung phones you can use a Bixby routine or "Modes and Routines".

For #Android phones in general, there are also third-party apps like Easer and Automation in the #FDroid #FOSS (#FreeAndOpenSource) repository; see f-droid.org .

(Haven't tried those two.)

Or more simply though less musically: you might be able to set a vibrating alarm without sound. 📳🔇

Or the alarm clock might have a setting to vibrate instead of playing sound whenever the phone is on vibrate or silent.

I have quite a few new followers, which I would like to vet fairly, i.e. first-in, first-vetted.

However, of the 3 #Android apps I use # the PC browser version, none seems to be able to either (better) filter the Followers for people I do NOT yet follow back, or at least show them in reverse chronological order (which would also be important to eliminate inactive accounts, e.g. #MAGA and #Russian #SleeperCells .

Any idea how to solve this?

Sure. A Sony is expensive if you just do BASIC phone things with it, but that really isn't the point of an XPERIA is it?
Taking a quick tour through the External Monitor mode, it's crazy to think how little we're really tapping into the amazing compute power of our phones...

it's 9:20, and my phone battery is at 48% and dropping. My new phone couldn't arrive soon enough.
@cliffwade I took your advise and ordered used off swappa
My s9 was from there and I got almost 5 years out of it. If the battery was still functional I'd not be replacing it either.

I need to repeat that number, it's too nice:

1,111 apps available now in my repo at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid :awesome:

(next such number means doubling the amount, which will take some™ time 🙈)

Attention Android nerds, I have to get a work phone for my new horse guy. He wants the Android OS, but I’ve been Apple-only since forever and don’t know anything about the phones. Recommendations for a decent affordable model appreciated. #Android

So yesterday, I grabbed a Braille display from work that is compatible with TalkBack's current Braille support. I opened a book in Google Play Books. I began to read. I crossed a page boundary, and continued reading. And again. And I didn't have to press any other button but the panning key to scroll forward to the next line of Braille. I still saw "page content," but it looks like the Play Books team has indeed made one able to read continuously. Pretty nice!

Last time I did cross platform mobile dev I was using jdk 11. Today I just installed jdk 17 to get the latest toolchain up an running.

Currently I am:

- relearning c++ after 20 years
- relearning react native after (?) years
- learning rust
- security reviewing some php code
- security reviewing a mysql setup

I hope it pays off in the end.

#ReactNative #Cpp #Rust #Java #Android #iOS #Swift #PHP #MySQL #SecOps

That may seem like tag spam but I have actually been doing all of that in one week.

At least I get to sit outside while working.

Please boost for reach for developers: Trying to figure out ways that developers could use TalkBack, and VoiceOver, better in games and more interactive apps. So, in most screen readers, there's a way for developers to speak things without them appearing on the screen. Like, "item added to cart." or in a game, "You win," or in a QTE, "swipe up." So, I found this stackoverflow post for Android developers.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15757008/is-there-way-to-make-talkback-speak

So, hopefully, that allows developers to do things a bit easier. Also remember accessibility actions and such like that too.

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/principles

On iOS, you'll use the post notification interface:

UIAccessibilityPostNotification
Posts a notification to assistive apps.
Call UIAccessibility.post(notification:argument:) when you have view components that change very frequently or that appear or disappear.
UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: "some text")
Once the line above gets triggered, VO will read “some text”.
https://medium.com/geekculture/accessibility-in-ios-ce09f6df992b

For setting a direct touch area, where touch exploration is off so that taps are sent directly to the app, great for games, in Android you may be able to use the following:

setTouchExplorationPassthroughRegion

I got this from https://github.com/google/talkback/blob/master/braille/brailleime/src/phone/java/com/google/android/accessibility/brailleime/keyboardview/KeyboardView.java

This lead me to

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService#setTouchExplorationPassthroughRegion(int,%20android.graphics.Region)

I don't know if apps can use this directly, but it's worth looking into.

For iOS, you'll just use the method on this page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilitytraits/1620172-allowsdirectinteraction

Hopefully this helps, especially in making awesome games that blind people can play!

My best views of the Moon and Venus on May 22, 2023 from Milan, Italy, with my Pixel 7 Pro.

In the first photo, at 19:44 UTC with 2X optical zoom, Mars shows up at the top left and the stars Castor and Pollux are above Venus. I took the second at 19.39 UTC at 5X. I'm pleased eartshine appears clearly in both photos without the lunar crescent blowing up.

In the sky, near the earthlit lunar crescent is a bright star with two dimmer ones above it. Another star can be seen at the top left.

Are you an #android/java developer?

We are hiring developers/freelancers to build public beta release of @prav

Looks like I forgot to mention we are willing to pay people for this work in my previous post (which has the specifications) https://social.masto.host/@praveen/110400007005971144

Thanks @aryak for pointing this out.

#Android users I'm looking for:
- In normal mode: notifications make sound, but no vibration
- In silent mode: notifications do not make sound but do vibrate

For me either I get vibrations all the time. Or no vibrations on silent. No idea how to make them alternate?

I don't know if this is a bad idea:
What if Gnome or someone made GTK compatible with Android. I don't think it is currently. There are so many great Apps built with GTK, which could or would be popular on Android phones. #Linux #Android #gtk #gnome

A brand new Pixel 6 Pro, which I got in December last year and which I haven't used as my daily driver, is having a hardware issue that this phone should not have. I mainly use it as a testing device. The speakers are dying and bluetooth is not workingon a regular basis. The attached hardware keyboard works intermittently and the Pixel Buds often cut out.

no wonder that Samsung is eating Google's lunch when it comes to #Android hardware. And #Google wants $1800.00 for a foldable?
