EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet. In an effort to ensure “effective interoperability” with other platforms, the EU wants Apple to make native features of iOS being compatible with Android, including the likes of AirDrop and more.

Though spending was up, there was another worrying sign about the overall health of the app ecosystem. This year, global app downloads were down by 2.3%, compared with 2023, reaching nearly 110 billion. This downward trend was seen across both app stores, the data indicates.

> ### Summary

> * Qi2-certified phones all have magnets; no need to worry anymore about false rumors.

> * Neodymium magnets for Qi2 charging are small, taking up little space compared to induction coils.

> * Pressure applied to Android manufacturers can encourage magnetic compatibility with existing and future accessories.

> SuperVOOC was once one of the fastest charging options in the smartphone space, but playing around with the latest iteration in the new OPPO Find X8 Pro feels comparatively slow. The flagship takes 50 minutes to fill up from an 80W SuperVOOC charger (why is it USB-A, OPPO, why?), which feels positively sluggish compared to the roughly 27 minutes I clocked on last year’s OPPO Find X7 Ultra, the OnePlus 12, and even the slightly older Find X6 Pro. What gives?

> Well, those previously super-fast times came with one notable compromise — higher temperatures. Last year’s Find X7 Ultra hit highs of 38.4°C while the slightly smaller X8 Pro hit just 35.7°C. That might not seem like a huge difference, but inching ever closer to (or beyond) 40°C is exponentially worse for long-term battery health. Staying in the mid-30s earns a solid thumbs up. The drawback for the Find X8 Pro is that it barely touches its peak potential charging power, spending just a minute at 70W before falling and sticking mostly well below 40W — a far more mainstream power level.

> Incidentally, this change also makes the Find X8 Pro much cooler than the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL’s controversial 37W and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 45W charging, which clock in with temperature highs of 41.8°C and 39.2°C, respectively (though average temperatures are all quite similar). They also both take longer to charge at 77 and 62 minutes each, although key times to 50% and 75% battery capacities are within minutes of each other and the Find X8 Pro.

> TL;DR

> * Motorola phone sales could be banned in the US if an ITC ruling in favor of Ericsson is upheld. > * Ericsson has claimed that Motorola’s phones infringe upon its 5G wireless communications patents. > * In an initial ruling, the ITC has found that Lenovo-owned Motorola violates Ericsson’s patents.

I got a new phone. Skipped a few generations and now I'm running the current GrapheneOS, based on Android 15. I've moved most of the apps, but now I'd like to install my 3 banking apps and 5 discount program spyware apps. I guess I best separate them from the rest of the arbitrary stuff. Banking apps so they can't be messed with, and shady discount programs so those apps can't mess with me and my data...

The internet has a lot of information about Shelter, work profiles, the new(?) private spaces... But I don't know what is current advice and what's outdated advice... What's the current best practice?

Pros

• Rugged with all sorts of certifications, made not only to last but to thrive in all conditions.
• Compact dimensions to use conveniently with a single hand.
• The FLIR camera is a versatile tool with many (professional) applications.
• Incredibly bright multi-purpose LED flash on the back.
• Relatively fast to charge, supports wireless and reverse wireless charging.
• Wireless FM radio.
• PTT, among other features.

Cons

• Large girth for a modern smartphone - it's almost 25mm/1-inch thick.
• The screen's contrast ratio and max brightness are poor.
• The chipset performance is below average.

> The Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are covered by an international warranty service in 62 countries and regions. You can seek out the local Oppo service center for support, repairs, maintenance and software updates. Oppo has hired and trained over 12,000 customer service representatives and engineers worldwide to help service your phone.

> Oppo will provide a free screen protection plan to Find X8 series owners in markets like Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. This includes a one-time free screen replacement for accidental damage. Additionally, the warranty is extended by 12 months.

> In select markets, users will be able to call a hotline for help. The representative can direct them to offline service centers (where you will have access to premium lanes to move things quickly) and you will get a premium loaner phone while yours is being repaired. The service centers can also perform maintenance like cleaning your device. If there's no nearby offline repair service, Oppo will offer free send-in and pick-up repair services in select regions, so you will still get repairs on the same standard.

> For details on the services available in your specific region, visit the Oppo Service Center website.

I often only use the left earpiece when listening to music and that can make stereo-mixed songs sound really weird. Instead of remixing my library to send all audio on both L and R it's easier if I can ask my player to do that for me. On the desktop it's as easy as going to Audio settings and choose "Stereo Audio Output Mode" to "Mono" but I find nothing like it in the Android app. I imagine I'm not alone. How have you solved it?

Solution:

> @Rentlar@lemmy.ca > On your Android settings (check the Hearing Accessibility menu) there is systemwide mono output availability on some devices.

AI Article Summary:

Android has improved its unknown tracker alerts to notify users faster and more often, and has introduced two new features to help users protect themselves from unwanted tracking. The key findings are the introduction of two new features: Temporarily Pause Location and Find Nearby, which aim to provide users with more control and privacy when dealing with unknown trackers.

Bullet points taken from article:

• Google is shutting down the Google Maps Timeline feature on June 9, 2025.
• Personal Maps timelines will be saved on individual devices instead of the cloud beginning on that date.
• Users should begin the migration to on-device Timeline data before June or risk losing all of their past Maps data.

I'm pleased that this potentially sensitive information is moving on-device instead of on Google servers.
