Are there really no good options besides Galaxy and Pixel?

I can upgrade and I've had galaxy phones forever, I'll be going from an S24+ right now. I know the S26 line would be a step up, but I keep seeing people complain about the poor battery life, and the small updates. So maybe I get the 26 ultra? Even if I pay a little bit, seems like my best bet. My only other option seems to be a pixel pro which looks good too, but then I see reviews saying it's really underpowered. Is there really no other choice besides these two? I know there are things like oneplus and the nothing phone, but are they really worth exploring?

Android 16 and iPhone AirDrop

I don’t know if you guys already know this already, but here’s something I tried today.

I have a Pixel 10 Pro running Android 16 and a MacBook Pro M1 with the latest macOS (26.x.x). I took a great photo and wanted to set it as my desktop wallpaper, but I couldn’t figure out an easy way to transfer the image to my Mac.

At first, I tried Bluetooth, but then I noticed an option to send it via AirDrop. Surprisingly, it worked — my MacBook showed up in the Pixel Files app, and I was able to transfer files between my Android phone and MacBook without using any third-party app.

I was honestly really happy to discover that. And here’s how my wallpaper looks now.

What's the point of disallowing hotspot toggle on Bluetooth connection?

Why does Android restrict apps from automatically enabling the Wi-Fi hotspot?

My use case is simple: when my phone connects to my car’s Bluetooth, I want hotspot to turn on automatically.

Apps like Tasker and MacroDroid often need root, ADB, or workarounds.

If hotspots are password protected, what security risk is Android preventing? Is this about security, carrier rules, battery management, or platform design?

Why isn’t there an official permission/API for trusted automation apps to do this?

I build my first app as a solo dev and this is the story

I'm a solo developer from Romania and I just released my first app on the Play Store after months of building it on the side. Wanted to share it here and get honest feedback from this community.

What it does:

Glycio is a sugar tracker focused on one thing: making it easy to know how much sugar is in what you eat. You scan a barcode, get the sugar content instantly, and log it if you want. That's the core flow.

Features:

Barcode scanner that works on most products globally

Daily sugar goal (WHO recommendation, keto, or custom)

7-day chart and monthly heatmap to spot patterns

Streak tracker for days under your goal

Water intake tracking

Craving log with intensity tracking

Breathing exercises (Box, 4-7-8, Calm)

AI Coach that reads your actual data before answering (Pro)

PDF export of weekly reports

Tech stack:

Built with React Native + Expo (bare workflow), Node.js + Express backend on Railway, PostgreSQL, RevenueCat for subscriptions. Single dev project, no team.

Why I built it:

Every sugar tracking app I tried wanted me to log full meals, count calories, track macros — I just wanted to know how much sugar was in the things I was already eating.

Pricing:

Core app is free, no ads. Pro unlocks AI Coach and advanced analytics. 7-day trial included.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glycio.app

Open to any feedback — UI, performance, missing features, bugs. I'll respond to every comment in this thread.

Thanks for reading.

Android Runner Friends, how do you connect everything together to record your run?

Android user returning back to running after an 11 year hiatus and trying to figure out how to record & synthesize all of the things running.

I used to have a Garmin watch back in the day, but the band cracked off. I used Garmin Connect primarily, until the watch died.

Then I switched to my phone, where I used runKeeper pretty frequently until I forgot that's the one I was using and apparently switched to Map My Run.

I keep health info in FitBit (which is now owned by Google) so it fits into the environment.

Apparently Strava is the place to be these days, so I created an account and started using it with my Pixel Watch 4. Unfortunately, I have learned that doesn't work so well, since the display isn't always-on and the only way to make that happen is to drain my battery with it on consistently for everything.

QUESTION: What is your workaround? Do you have a Garmin watch? Another running watch? A cheap Amazon watch for running? How do you flow your data together? What have you tried that failed? Would love to learn from the community.
