limerod,

As previously announced for the Pixel 8, the 8a will be getting on-device Gemini Nano — in a future update — as a developer option that users can enable for Recorder Summarization, better Gboard replies, and Magic Compose in Messages.

I’m guessing there is a negative in enabling this feature if it’s going to be tucked in developer settings. Likely increased app reloads and the phone running hotter.

limerod,

Were you expecting Sony, HTC or Nothing in a Samsung community?

limerod,

Don’t worry. There’s a better smartphone for you. It has not one but two headphone jacks. One 3.5mm Jack and another balanced 4.4mm Jack. Here’s the link: moondroplab.com/en/products/miad01

limerod,

That’s why I got a smart band. It tracks all useful metrics like HR, sleep, stress, SPO2 and does limited smartwatch stuff. Plus, it costs much less compared to a smartwatch without needing a ton of battery to boot with.

limerod,

Pebble was the best smartwatch maker to date. It’s unfortunate no one is capable of replicating the features, battery life, and community support like them. I like snazzy fast displays like anyone else. But, I also like weeks long battery life. A pebble like smartwatch with E-ink displays should be resurrected in the near future some day.

limerod,

Yes, for that 5-10% battery improvement.

limerod,

The model size for this task would be so small and energy consumption so miniscule it won’t matter.

limerod,

They have much more complex models running on-device. It would be laughable if this was not.

limerod,

Hmm, that’s not how it works.

limerod,

Yeah, adaptive battery 1st introduced in android 9.

limerod,

I did try bangle.js gadgetbridge from play store and it showed the fit 3 as incompatible.

limerod,

Bummer. Thanks for helping, anyway.

limerod,

If it does, start a new car printing business.

Is Android increasingly inconsistent?

I feel like I’m encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don’t seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...

limerod,

Depends. If you use heavily customized android ROMs with aggressive battery saving measures like colorOS, hyperOS/miui, etc. Things may be a tad rough.
