| r/Android Community Feedback Poll Results Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:51 AM PST What is this?We ran a community feedback poll for around 6 weeks (the thread was stickied for the first 4 weeks). We got around 930 responses. These are the results. Before we start, though -- a big thanks to all who participated, be it in the feedback threads from which the poll was built, or the vote itself. Rule 1 (off-topic)
The preferred choice (45%) seems to be that the article should be drawing some kind of comparison to Android. If not, then the OP should do that in the self-text. That being said, this one's a bit tight with almost 39% wanting these threads being always accepted, as a comparison would then be "implicit" and made by commenters. The main lesson here is that we should've used preferential voting for questions with more than 2 answers. We'll be going with the main choice for now (as in our opinion, it would've most likely won in a preferential vote scenario with most of the 39% putting it as their 2nd preference). This is what we're already doing, but we're open to doing another poll (maybe with more options) if there's demand -- please let us know in the comments.
Most people (77%) say yes. This is already what's happening.
Most people (57%) say no. We currently allow these threads due to the last community poll we ran a few years ago. Starting now, we will only allow them if the article or OP makes a clear connection to Android that makes it relevant to Android users. For example, threads about updates that introduce new features related to Android (e.g. controlling your phone, or running Android on ChromeOS, etc) are fine. Threads about general updates/announcements/sales of these products are not. (P.S. You might be interested in r/Google, r/Stadia, /r/googlehome and /r/chromeos which are all fairly active.)
Most people said yes if there's a relation to Android (63%). Starting now, we'll be doing the same as above.
Most people said yes (60%). This is what is already being done.
Most people said yes (62%). We're mostly already doing this, but we weren't very consistent so it's good to get a consensus. Rule 5 (blogspam and rehosted content)
Most people said no (62%). This is already what we're doing, but we heavily rely on your reports to enforce this.
Most people voted to only allow these if they add substantial information (68%). I think this is an area we can work on. Rumors
40% say yes, 34% want it in a weekly thread only, and another 27% want it to be more restricted. We really should've used preferential voting. The plan is to gather some feedback in this thread and probably make a new poll with preferential voting in a week or two.
Most people say yes (62%). This is already what's happening. (I was expecting completely different results on this one based on the usual complaints we see.)
A crushing 91% say yes. We'll be setting up a wiki page soon which we'll maintain based on your reports, and use it to enforce this. The wiki page will be editable by mods only as we don't see how else we'd do it, but everyone will be able to check it out and see false rumors, the corresponding Reddit link, and a note/link explaining how it was false. For reports, we will most likely go with a Google Form (linked in the sidebar). While we would've preferred normal reports, it is unfortunately much harder to maintain because we can't really keep track of past reports (if one of us actions a reported thread, the reports disappear until the thread is reported again... This is also true for the API). Using a Google Form should also be easier than Modmail, which a lot of mobile apps don't support very well. This will only apply to submissions posted on r/Android to keep it manageable. We'll be relying very heavily on your reports to enforce this.
56% say after 3 false rumors in a year.
Most people voted for "Until the website owners appeal and show that they've taken steps not to publish unverified rumors" (53%). Sticky and weekly threads
Most people (64%) think the existing threads are enough.
Most people say no (62%).
Most people say no (56%). That being said, we really encourage you to please do so. <3 Submissions & comments quality
Most people say yes (63%). This will hopefully lead to a higher quality of comments just by driving down the noise and therefore discouraging people from repeating the same circlejerky comments. Please let us know which are the worst offenders in your opinion. We're also not sure about the best approach to implement this, so suggestions are also welcome. (P.S. You might be interested in r/androidcirclejerk.)
Most people said yes (83%).
Most people said yes (71%). We shall be enforcing this starting now via AutoMod.
Most people said no.
Most people said yes (57% across categories), but there is no clear agreement on how strict it should be. We'll start by enforcing the minimum proposed limit via AutoMod (>20 characters i.e. ~4 words), but we'll also be including this in the next poll. What's next?We'll gather your feedback here and have a new poll in the coming few weeks as noted above (and with any additional feedback you might have here). We'll likely only run the next polls for a couple of weeks at a time, as we noticed we got most responses during that time. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| YSK: Apps that share your info/activities with Facebook Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:34 AM PST One of my friends shared a link today to a Facebook Settings page called 'Off-Facebook Activity.' I was curious to find out what apps share stats & user info/activities with Facebook knowing that I have been using 'Simple Pro' for over 2 years and don't have the Facebook app installed on my phone. To my surprise, I found couple apps that have been sharing my activities with Facebook like the Alarm Clock app Alarmy Pro (WTF?), LinkedIn app, McDonald's app, MX Player Pro and many more.. Mind you, none of these apps are linked to my Facebook account whatsoever. To find out yourself, go to the this link: [link] [comments]  | ||

| One Today by Google is Shutting Down Posted: 29 Jan 2020 11:57 AM PST Just got this disappointing e-mail from the Google One Today team... if you're not familiar with the app it highlighted a different charity each day and let you donate $1 towards their cause. Hello, We launched Google One Today seven years ago to help people donate to causes they care about. In the last few years, we have seen donors choose other products to fundraise for their favorite nonprofits. As a result, we will shut down One Today on February 6th, 2020. New nonprofits will no longer be able to sign up for One Today. The Google One Today app will be turned off, and any open projects will be deleted. We will ensure that 100% of funds donated on One Today prior to February 6th are disbursed to the relevant nonprofits. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the One Today team. Thank you for your donations and partnership. The Google One Today team [link] [comments]  | ||

| Something interesting about the Shield Controller connected to the phone Posted: 29 Jan 2020 07:59 AM PST So I just tried to connect my Shield Controller to my Pixel 4 through a USB cable and found out some interesting things:
Android is poorly optimized for Controller controls, so it was really interesting to see that, although the headphone jack didn't work, the microphone button was fully supported and even gave some new features, that can't otherwise be accessed without it! I really hope that support for the Stadia Controller comes soon, so we can use it wirelessly on our Android phones, that all of it's buttons get fully utilized (Assistant, Screenshot and maybe new features with the other buttons, activating multitasking for example) and that it also allows us to use the headphone jack of that Controller!
