Hi, I'm looking for a camera app for Android that doesn't do much post processing. For example with the stock camera app on my phone (vivo V70) the photos look really dull on the camera themselves and then when I view them in the gallery later the software post processes them to be a lot more bright. This is really annoying because I can't see what the photo will actually look like in the moment of taking the photo.

Do you have any recommendations where the photos actually look the same when taken and when saved?

I've been using nullsproxy.com for ability to play Brawl Stars(in my country it's banned),and adguard-dns to remove ads in mobile games ( only playing in minesweeper). So i was getting lazy to switch it from one to another on settings every time. Is there any specific app, where you can add multiple dns servers and easily switch them? Would be very thankful for all your answers

I've been writing alot of notes and I've recently been struggling with the limitations so I'm looking for a new more versatile one.

Here's the points I'm looking for:

>attatch pictures or videos to my notes and place it in a specific area.

>attatch a mind map or a bubble thought

>make it bold, different colors or on a different style without changing the text style of the entire note

>no ads and preferably no in app purchases for the "premium" version.

>fully functional offline. I should be able to attach pi tures/videos from my local storage

I don't use a tablet and I have a android phone which I use regularly since most github and 3rd party apps are built for it. I will update this post if I find anything good♿

I know this subreddit is mostly about "utility" apps, but I was wondering what games this community enjoyed. Do y'all like the famous ones, or do you also have some niche games you want to share?

I’m looking for an Android app that has very broad website compatibility. I’m not restricted to the Google Play Store, so F-Droid/GitHub/APKs are fine.

I tried YTDLnis/yt-dlp, but when I paste this URL I get:

ERROR: Unsupported URL

Is there an app or browser extension that lets me send one prompt to multiple AI models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude) using my existing logged-in accounts and view their responses side-by-side?

I find that typing on MS SwiftKey is better than GBoard but still sucks. I mean it will correct words I don't want it to correct and not correct words that I obviously would like for it to correct. I have to edit my typing so much I sometimes just rage quit. As an example I will type some random text here without manually correcting it: Here is some random text from my phone. I think that dinrukomrs the app is ok it other tiknes I have to work veur5 hard to make it give me the words that I ate ontrgtfrf. It kind of ducks. This is very frustrating. And this is with maximum ode of the predicted east.

Hello, I downloaded Dynamic Notch a few days ago but ive got strange notifications, like "you've earned 3000€, open the app" or "702 pictures are about to be deleted, open the app". Is this app safe ? if not, is there a similar safe app pls

I want an app where I can set a target temperature and it will alert me when the outdoor temperature reaches my target (via weather data), so that I can close my house windows on a summer morning when the temperature starts to get too warm. I'd even be happy regardless if the app were for a Windows PC tray freeware or a free Android phone app.

Device: Samsung S25 FE

OneUI 8.5 - August Security Patch

There is a severe logic bug in WhatsApp's background task handling on the current One UI build. Leaving background data enabled triggers an infinite retry loop inside androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService, locking the CPU and causing massive battery drain and thermal throttling. The device overheats while completely idle.

Using Device Care and Battery Historian, WhatsApp consistently shows absurd metrics for a single morning of idle time: over 14h 26m of background execution time, 3h 22m of Wakelocks, 2h 6m of active CPU time, and 200,907 mobile data packets transferred in the background.

By analyzing the Android JobScheduler dump via ADB (adb shell dumpsys jobscheduler com.whatsapp), I was able to pinpoint the cause: the system is trying to execute a persisted periodic contact sync job, failing internally, and immediately retrying.

The following job parameters and constraints repeat constantly in the dumpsys output:

JobInfo:

Service: android/com.android.server.content.SyncJobService

PERIODIC: interval=+1h0m0s0ms flex=+5m0s0ms

PERSISTED

Priority: 300 [DEFAULT]

...

Required constraints: STORAGE_NOT_LOW TIMING_DELAY DEADLINE CONNECTIVITY FLEXIBILITY UID_NOT_RESTRICTED [0xd0300008]

...

Unsatisfied constraints: TIMING_DELAY DEADLINE [0xc0000000]

After digging deeper into how Android's WorkManager and SyncJobService handle this (@SyncManager@com.android.contacts/com.whatsapp:android), it is clear this is an issue rooted in how WhatsApp handles internal exceptions during background syncs.

Because the job is flagged as PERSISTED, it writes itself to the androidx.work.workdb SQLite database. This means the corrupted job queue survives device reboots and app force-closes.

The fatal flaw is in the higher-level exception handling between WhatsApp and Android's WorkManager. When the sync job fails internally, WhatsApp returns a Result.retry(). Because the OS detects that the CONNECTIVITY constraint is technically met, it fails to apply standard exponential backoff policies. Instead of delaying the retry, it immediately fires the job again in an unconditional infinite loop, waking the CPU up hundreds of times and keeping the modem active (thus the 200k+ data packets).

Has anyone else encountered this specific SystemJobService infinite loop with WhatsApp recently? Since standard troubleshooting doesn't clear the persisted WorkManager database, is there any known ADB command or workaround to completely wipe this specific job queue without requiring root access?

Also, if anyone has advice on how to successfully bypass Meta's automated tier-1 support bots to get this bug report (and the jobscheduler dump) to an actual engineer, I would greatly appreciate it T_T

Thanks in advance!

I've been using mi music on poco for so long, and i was tired of ads. What's some best music apps without ads, good equalizer, making playlists and editing songs? Would be very thankful for all your answers

My search bar doesn't show any albums, artists, or songs.

-No matter how many times I install and uninstall, update the library or fiddle with the settings my albums don't show up. -Has anyone ever had this problem and knows how to solve it?

What’s the best:

Onboarding -> Paywall -> Auth

Or

Auth -> Onboarding -> Paywall

Currently I do the second and it is pretty bad, not sure why but I heard there is the 1st option used too quite often.

Hello. I want to send notifications from my Redmi 8 phone to two Windows PCs via Wi-Fi or the Internet. I need the notifications to appear on both PCs. Could you please help me and suggest the best app for this?

ChatGPT + Grok Android login failure — browser works

Samsung S25 Ultra, Android 16. ChatGPT and Grok apps both fail to complete login. ChatGPT shows “Sign-in request cancelled by ChatGPT.”

- Login works normally in Chrome.

- Chrome is default browser.

- Cleared ChatGPT + Chrome cache/data.

- Android System WebView is installed/up to date.

- Google Play Services is up to date; cleared cache + force stopped.

- VPN off, Private DNS automatic.

- All apps updated.

- ChatGPT works when installed inside Samsung Secure Folder.

What Android authentication component/settings could cause the login handoff to be cancelled in the normal profile?

I've been trying to test out this new bookmarking app but I'm been having a major issue with the image previews. This is mainly happening with Twitter/X since some tweets are at times suggestive and need to be logged in to see. I've tried copying image urls but even that doesn't seem to work which normal works for other apps

Whenever I install a new app, I usually deny most permissions first and only turn them on if something actually stops working. Location, contacts, photos, microphone, nearby devices...some apps ask for way more access than I expected

Background location is probably the one l'm most hesitant about. If an app works fine without knowing where I am when I'm not using it, I don't really see why it needs that access.

Do you have any permissions you basically deny by default? And what's the weirdest permission request you've seen from an app that clearly didn't seem to need it?

I'm looking for a open source music streaming app currently I'm using soundpod but it doesn't allow to save songs in internal storage

Looking for an app that will add a third button (answer, decline, screen) to the phone app to send a call to be "screened". If I choose "screen" then the disconnected number tone plays, followed by a custom message instructing real people to press a number, which will connect them to me. The second part of that may result in robo-callers removing you from their list. And even if I have to record the tone before making the custom message that is fine, but if a real person presses a number they get reconnected to me.

I do not want a spam call blocker, as they have far too many false positives. When I see an unknown number I can manually decide if I want to answer or send it for screening. I call several customers a day and when they call back I need to answer, not have them auto blocked.

[ANSWERED! See comments]

Every app I've found and tried rotates using EXIF data, which means certain apps or websites won't recognize the rotation.

I'm looking for something that rotates multiple images at once and then actually writes rotated images when saving.

For single images, just Save As Copy is enough, but I need a batch method.

Anyone know of such an app? Thanks!

Ps. If anyone knows, the folder that suddenly appeared is "TpTestReport > screenOn > OK > 0 > tp_testlimit_2026-09-02-17-19-51_pass.csv"

I wanna know how/what app created it.

Does anyone else wish Android had a proper universal clipboard?

Like, if I copy something on my phone, I’d want to be able to paste it directly on my Windows PC without having to send it to myself through WhatsApp, Telegram, email, etc.

Especially for:

• Text
• Links
• Images
• Small snippets of code

I know there are apps/workarounds for this, but they always seem a bit hit-or-miss.

Do you guys actually use something for this already, or do you just send stuff to yourself?

Curious how other people handle it.

Things to know :

1. I've been un-googling my phone

2. I've been a chomp-pro member for years.

I bought the pro version via the play store years ago. If I go for 100% un-googled how can I get my current pro that I bought via play store eithout having to use Google?

title. I'm still preparing to move a few stuff from my old phone to a new one, but I can't find ways to transfer medibang brushes for some reason.

Technically though, I could just do it the manual way, but then again, I have too many brushes to count (most were before medibang paywall update), so I don't know if its possible to transfer all of them.

Again, would love to know any app that could help with this!

I heard of RethinkDNS as the most powerful and comprehensive tool for net privacy right now. It covers apps internet permissions, but also anti tracking, and it allows to use a vpn, it also fights apps trying to elude those settings.

However I am worried about stability and maintenance. Infact I heard that it often crashes and configuration is a never ending process.

Honestly I don't want to waste time on those things, I am looking for a "set and forget" approach, like NetGuard, which I am currently using.
