Why don't phones have a cleaning mode?

A simple cleaning mode to disable everything but the power button when you want to clean your phone and not have everything going off.

Might be wrong but this seems the easiest thing to implement. The only thing you can do now is to turn off your device for this....

Why is standby battery time not measured on smartphones like it was done for dumbphones back then?

Huaweis and iPhones seem to have an advantage nobody talks about yet is very important for working or business folks. Only SOT measurement is not solely important....

Check Phone and Messaging Storage app: it might be taking up a ton of your storage

Since I started using RCS in Messages on my Pixel 3 over a year ago, the system app ["Phone and Messaging Storage" will periodically go crazy](https://i.imgur.com/xtfHMiO.png) and start rapidly expanding, eating up a ton of storage.

It's happened three times now over the course of the last year, and since you can't clear the storage of the system app, factory resetting seems to be the only way to clear it. I let it get up to 10gb both times before I did a factory reset. Clearing app storage in...

What are the features you miss in Stock Android?, Guys I used to miss call recording now it's available but I really miss screen recording feature-inbuilt!!!

I used to miss call recording feature a lot I tried using few call recording apps which were ok but the inbuilt call recording feature is the best way to do. Thanks Google.

But man I really need screen recording feature in stock android, there are several apps which are ok but these apps have many ads, those are pretty heavy and also they kill the feel of Stock Android.

I really like how fluid and clean the Stock Android is, but these days it needs to be packed with few more features like I ha...

Is that really still relevant to compare iOS and Android updates just based on version numbers?

Hello,

​

*Disclaimer: If you plan to downvote because I list differences between the way 2 OS provide updates to users, you can do it, but think again .... I will* ***never*** *say that one or the other is better, I simply show that there are so many differences that we should think twice before comparing them.*

I have been having this thought for a long time, and I would like to express it with my best English (sorry for any typo/grammar), and would like to hear from your opinion. I a...
