Are long screen shots broken in Android 15/16 or am I crazy? I've not been able to get a clean extended screenshot in ages.

Whether I start from the top of the area I want to capture or the bottom, I get phantom bars (see screenshot) of the bar opposite of where I start.

One UI 7 Showcase: App Archives

Android 15 and later provides app archiving, which allows you to save space on your device while retaining the application data and icon. It was showcased for the first time last year. Android removes the application and its permissions, temporary files, and notifications. Samsung had rolled out the One UI 7 update starting April 17th after the rollout reboot, and this version brought app archiving to eligible Samsung phones.

To archive an application, go to your device’s settings, and navigate to Apps. Then, select an application, such as FeedMe, and press Archive.

Once archived, the application status will change to Not Installed, and you won’t be able to access the application anymore.

Additionally, an archived app will have the cloud download icon overlaid on top of the original app icon. The archived app will be shown in the app drawer, though.

As for the Play Store listing, when you go to the archived app’s page, you’ll see that it considers the application as not installed.

In the app drawer, when you tap on the archived app icon, you’ll be prompted to confirm the re-installation of the application.

Press Restore, and the application will be restored in the background by downloading the application itself from the Play Store.

Additionally, in the app drawer, you’ll see the “Restoring…” text under the application that is being restored. Once it finishes, the application gets restored, and its data will be preserved.

If you can’t see the app archive option in Settings, it’s possible that your device is not eligible for this feature. For example, devices that are still running Android 14 will not be eligible for app archiving.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 to receive Q3 2025 security patch soon

The Galaxy Tab S8 had received the One UI 7 update on April 28th of this year, while other countries got it later this May, such as May 20th for the UAE users. This all happened while we were on the second quarter of this year, giving users access to the latest One UI 7 system on this tablet.

Although the Galaxy Tab S8 Series is eligible for One UI 8, which will be the fourth (and the last) generation of the operating system upgrade that was promised to us by Samsung, we have not spotted any new build (EYG?/EYH?) for One UI 8 for the Tab S8 yet. However, we’ve spotted a new security update in the works.

Currently, the security updates are as follows:

  • Galaxy Tab S8 (Wi-Fi/Cellular): DYF4/IYF5
  • Galaxy Tab S8+ (Wi-Fi/Cellular): DYF4/IYF1
  • Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Wi-Fi/Cellular): DYF4/IYF1

It’s possible that those tablets may get the security update of either June or July of this year, which will be released later. This will be the first security update for the Tab S8 prior to One UI 8. There is no exact release date for this update, but it will be rolled out soon.

The first country that will get this security update is Korea. After that, other countries follow. Judging by the recent security updates that were released to the Galaxy S24 and other devices that were updated to One UI 7, the battery life has improved for many users. We expect the same battery life improvements to land to the Galaxy Tab S8 Series in the upcoming security update.

We expect that Samsung test One UI 8 for the Tab S8 as soon as this security update gets released.

Der #Clown ist mit der Zeichen-APP von @SECUSO_Research gezeichnet und per Screenshot aus der APP geholt. Die Zeichnungen lassen sich in der APP verwalten. Bei meinem Händi funktioniert leider der Export und das Teilen mangels Speicherberechtigung der APP nicht.
Ansonsten prima. Ideal um meine kleinen Nichten und Neffen sich künstlerisch entwickeln zu lassen :applause:
Die APP gibt es neben anderen von #SECUSO im F-Droid-Store.

Nothing rzuca wyzwanie rynkowi. Oto Phone (3) – flagowiec, który ma być inny niż wszystkie

Londyńska firma Nothing zaprezentowała swój najnowszy smartfon – Phone (3). Urządzenie jest określane jako pierwszy prawdziwy flagowiec w portfolio marki.

Nowy model wyróżnia się przeprojektowanym wzornictwem, ulepszonym interfejsem Glyph na tylnej obudowie oraz mocną specyfikacją techniczną.

Nothing Phone (3) kontynuuje charakterystyczną dla marki estetykę, ale wprowadza też zauważalne zmiany. Urządzenie ma nową, inspirowaną architekturą modułową konstrukcję z trzema kolumnami, a zaokrąglone krawędzie (tzw. R-angle design) mają poprawiać komfort chwytu. Ramki otaczające 6,67-calowy ekran AMOLED stały się węższe o 18% w stosunku do poprzednika i mają teraz 1,87 mm grubości. Sam wyświetlacz oferuje rozdzielczość 1,5K, adaptacyjne odświeżanie w zakresie od 30 do 120 Hz oraz wysoką jasność szczytową sięgającą 4500 nitów w trybie HDR. Całość konstrukcji jest odporna na wodę i pył zgodnie z normą IP68.

Najbardziej charakterystycznym elementem pozostaje interfejs na pleckach urządzenia, który w nowej wersji nazwano Glyph Matrix. Jest to wyświetlacz micro-LED, który pozwala na szybki podgląd najważniejszych informacji bez odblokowywania telefonu. Umożliwia on wyświetlanie powiadomień, wskaźników postępu czy spersonalizowanych ikon przypisanych do kontaktów. Nowością są także „Glyph Toys”, czyli zestaw narzędzi i minigier, takich jak zegar, stoper czy lustro, obsługiwanych dedykowanym przyciskiem. Ciekawą funkcją jest „Flip to Record”, która po odwróceniu telefonu ekranem do dołu i przytrzymaniu przycisku rozpoczyna transkrypcję i tworzenie podsumowań notatek głosowych.

 

Sercem smartfona jest najnowszy procesor Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, wykonany w technologii 4 nm. Według producenta, zapewnia on o 36% wyższą wydajność CPU i o 88% mocniejszy układ graficzny w porównaniu do Phone (2). Urządzenie wyposażono w baterię o pojemności 5150 mAh, wykonaną w technologii krzemowo-węglowej. Wspiera ona szybkie ładowanie przewodowe o mocy 65 W (pełne naładowanie w 54 minuty) oraz bezprzewodowe 15 W. Zestaw aparatów składa się z trzech obiektywów, a główny sensor ma rozmiar 1/1,3 cala. Telefon pozwala na nagrywanie wideo w jakości 4K przy 60 kl./s na wszystkich obiektywach z optyczną stabilizacją obrazu.

Nothing Phone (3) działa pod kontrolą systemu Nothing OS 3.5, opartego na Androidzie 15. Firma duży nacisk położyła na integrację funkcji opartych na sztucznej inteligencji, takich jak uniwersalna wyszukiwarka Essential Search czy Essential Space – centralne miejsce na notatki i pomysły. Producent gwarantuje 5 lat aktualizacji systemu Android oraz 7 lat aktualizacji zabezpieczeń. Smartfon będzie dostępny w dwóch kolorach, czarnym i białym, oraz dwóch konfiguracjach pamięci: 12/256 GB w cenie 3649 zł i 16/512 GB za 3999 zł. Przedsprzedaż rusza 4 lipca, a regularna sprzedaż 15 lipca 2025 roku.

CMF by Nothing prezentuje nowe urządzenia: CMF Phone 2 Pro i odświeżoną linię słuchawek Buds

Google Play System Update (June 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On July 1st, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the June 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 75 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your device’s settings
  2. Open the security settings
  3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  4. If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:

Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see June 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

Stay tuned for the July patch of 2025!

I'm having déjà vu with Android 15!!! Somehow the control center, the homescreen gestures and the lock screen setup look exactly the same as in iOS 17 and 18. Who has copied from whom this time? #Android15 #Android #OneUi7 #OneUI #Samsung
