| Sunday Rant/Rage (May 31 2020) - Your weekly complaint thread! Posted: 31 May 2020 04:11 AM PDT Note 1. Join our IRC, and Telegram chat-rooms! Please see our wiki for instructions. This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on. [link] [comments]  | ||
| /r/Android's opinions of device manufacturers over time Posted: 31 May 2020 09:13 AM PDT RESULTS METHOD I've been learning about natural language processing over the last couple of months, and thought this would be fun project. I trained a convolutional neural network on sentiment analysis using Amazon reviews from the "Cell Phones and Accessories" category. The mean score of these reviews was ~4.2, so I chose to mark scores >= 4 as positive and < 4 as negative. I then trained the neural network on these reviews, until it could consistently predict what a good (4 or 5 star) or a bad (1, 2 or 3 star) review looked like, just given the review's text. The trained model will produce a value near to 1 given the text of a positive review and 0 given a negative review. Once it was trained on the Amazon reviews, I applied it to reddit comments. To reduce the number of comments that I would need to test on, I only downloaded comments which contained one or more of the manufacturer's names. This has the downside of eliminating comments that didn't explicitly mention a brand even if it was obviously referenced ("Samsung Galaxy S8" vs "Galaxy S8"). This also is a problem if a comment contains more than one name eg
In this case, the low sentiment score would be added to both Apple and Google's results, even though Google wasn't the target of the comment's negativity. Each plotted point is the week's average. I don't think the results are accurate given how noisy the raw data was and the varying amounts of data for each OEM, but overall trends are consistent with my own predictions. It's often suggested that Apple is liked more than any other manufacturer on /r/Android, and that does seem to be the case -- the iPhone 11 launch is the greatest maximum point on the graph, though I was expecting more of a drop with the iPhone 7. Samsung's stagnating line was a surprise and may be due to the high prices of recent flagships. Somewhat predictably, the sub's perception of Google is the only one heading consistently downhill given the poor reaction to the Pixel line and other Google products. I also collected data for Huawei, HTC and Xiaomi but didn't include them in the main results as the number of comments for each seemed too small for a fair comparison. Here is the graph with them included. Again, these findings shouldn't be taken seriously as I'm not using a state-of-the-art model and the comment selection process was as basic as it could get, but hopefully it was interesting for some of you. EDIT: Added colourblind graph; attempted to improve explanation of method; increased line thickness [link] [comments]  | ||

| Dont buy Meizu if you are a heavy gamer who are fond of playing offline games Posted: 31 May 2020 05:43 PM PDT Chinese here,sorry for my English. Just bought 16T(snapdragon855) from an online shop,I can safely say flyme(7 and 8) is one of worst OEM OS at gaming,flyme has a "Game Mode" feature cant recognize most of offline games,even if you root your device and use a kernel adjuster app to set your cpu&gpu to max,it still run small games terribly,it is only optimized for several popular online FPS games like PUGB(i dont play online games sorry if i spell it wrong),for anyone has Meizu with flyme(7 or 8),try Crimsonland by 10tons(or any other shooters from 10tons like Neon Chrome and Time Recoil) you will know what i mean. But fortunately the bootloader of Meizu 16T can be unlocked and there was someone made a mokee rom for it,games run smoothly after i flashed mokee,but fingerprint and bluetooth has some small bugs.

| Stock Android needs an ultra power saving mode. Posted: 30 May 2020 08:39 PM PDT The battery saver mode in stock Android only restricts background processes, maybe some processor throttling, and reducing screen brightness. I miss the ultra power saving modes in Samsung and Sony phones, where everything is shutdown except phone, and a few a basic apps, and maybe one app of your choice. This would theoretically extend the battery life into days. [link] [comments]  | ||

| The "what's new" descriptions for Signal in the play store are low-key really funny Posted: 30 May 2020 03:11 PM PDT https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms Props to the devs for actually writing changelogs in the play store instead of the generic "bug fixes and new features/improvements" or whatever. Bonus points for being low-key hilarious too! [link] [comments]  |
