[TIPS] Getting the best out of Android

I have compiled a set of tweaks that I have done over time to get the best out of my Android. This includes getting rid of ads, reducing bloatware, focusing on privacy, getting more performance and battery life. Most of this are focused on non-rooted phones, there are better alternatives if you are rooted.

Feel free to add your own tips below and I will add them here.

1. **Debloating:** Many OEMs will have a lot of apps preloaded like Facebook, Microsoft, Google apps, and their own apps. The...

Comparing Samsung Health to Google Fit in terms of how the initial header space is used (ads)

I just wanted to show how the limited vertical space is used in the top part of the Samsung Health app in comparison to Google Fit.

I just highlighted the aspect that caught my eye, namely using the space to show an ad versus actually showing useful information relevant to the current times for our health.

(Note that the Google fit health advice goes slightly below.

Android 11/12 possible ios-like notification and control center

I just discovered something when using Android 11 beta. If you dont have any notifications present, if you try swiping down from the top left of the screen nothing happens. But if you do it from the top right the notification shade will pull down. Now when you get a notification, and you swipe from the top left it opens the notification shade. Similar to ios, this might be just a glitch but who knows. Maybe in a future update we'll see a control center and a separate notification shade like appl...

Other things manufacturers and reviewers fail to tell you – the state of Bluetooth audio in mobile phones is still shameful and even with the latest flagships you might not be able to reach by default good/very good quality in most conditions

Some time ago we [talked how Bluetooth Low Energy 4.x/5.x is not equal in various flagships (Apple included)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ak2tqq/what_is_really_wrong_with_bluetooth_5_how_the/) and also [how with some of the most expensive flagships GPS/GNSS also might be a bigger compromise than you would expect](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/amob8i/last_weekend_we_talked_about_how_not_all_ble_5/).

Ad Blocking On Android

I thought most people knew you could block ads on your phone, but apparently it's pretty well unknown. Everyone I ask says they didn't know it was even possible (I'm the "techy" out of my friends)

So here's a list of known methods to block ads. Any of these options will COMPLETELY remove all ads, from all apps, including YouTube, and your browser.

Keep in mind I'm only including one choice for each method. This is just so I'm not listening every DNS server, or every ad blocking VPN. There's t...
