Why is phone dev such aids?

I have literally spent more time trying to push my app to my phone and dealing with worthless strag frick error messages (Literally the only message the phone would give me the user, from the ui, was "apk failed to install", fricking cancer)

And god forbid there be some way ti just force push the fricking thing onto the phone certs and sigs be darned

Every cellphone made after 04 was a mistake

They deprecated it with Android 10. It was such an amazing power user feature.

Lame

If you've really skipped out on phones since 2014 you've missed a ton of fetch hardware.

Yea I probably have and finger print readers do seem neat. Any recommendations for what my next phone should be? I also plan on keeping this one for 8+ years

Z Fold right now, IMO.

Samsung spent several years shrinking storage on their flagships (still more than other Android OEMs, less than Apple), but the Fold 4 finally has a 1TB SKU.

The screen js excellent and is well built. My old Fold 2 I got 3 years ago still works, I don't think longevity is a major issue.

OneUI is fast, and the ADB overscan command Google deprecated (lets you force immerisve mode 24/7 ro hide status and nav bar) still works in OneUI.

You have a proper multi-window app mode (3 windows at once), with Goodlock modules a real sound mixer like a desktop OS, Samsung's stock apps including the browser are the best of their kind on Android too.

The Goodlock modules are legitimately insane they're as versatile as the xposed framework I used to have to root for. You can create custom navigation button icons, new buttons, and all the stuff gravitybox used to be required for with root.

Bixby routines are kind of like native tasker, too.

The Fold's screen can basically do two 6" 2:1 screens side by side for multiwindow.

The onlh downside versus something like the Pixel is the camera for photography. The lag is awful there. I also keep an iPhone and use Airmessage to sync my imessage with my Fold.

If it only had an SD card and all the other removed hardware features (IR blaster, MST, headphone jack), it'd be my favorite phone ever. Hopefully the Fold 5 adopts an 8" 4:3 screen. My only other gripe is the screen still being 8% smaller than a traditional mini tablet. It's still twice the surface area of a regular 6.7" elongated aspect ratio phone, though.

holy shit really? That's insane!

BASED! Fr fricks google and their "UI is part of security" bullshit. They don't even ship a per app firewall by default

There was a 1TB S10+ with an SD card slot, too, so you could have 2TB total.

That was 4 years ago, Samsung spent 3 years shrinking storage on all their phones. 1TB was long overdue. I want 2TB like the iPad Pro. Generally Android OEMs take 2-3 years for Apple's bigger sizes to trickle down. The iphone 7 had 256GB in 2016, that's a size most Android phones still max out today.

>fricks google and their "UI is part of security" bullshit. They don't even ship a per app firewall by default

Yes, lmao. Google does a lot of bullshit. Every Pixel has had them explicitly disable display port alt mode on the type c port to prevent physical video out. Google does so kuch stupid bullshit.
