TL;DR touch screen working correctly when wet (ie in the rain, or in my case, the shower š)
This is the reason why I recommend a submission statement and de-clickbaiting the title before submission.
Submission statements were amazing on many subreddits! I would love to see them on Lemmy.
I dont want to read the article, whatā¦uhhā¦whatās the solution? And is it coming (will they sell it to) to other phones too?
Edit: read the article and thereās no mention of it. Just talks about the ram of it, as if phones were short RAM these days.
Second paragraph:
āThe company has revealed that the upcoming OnePlus Ace 2 Pro includes āRainwater Touch Controlā technology, which combines a custom screen chip and some algorithms to account for water on the display, and prevent it from interfering with taps and swipes.ā
the tl;dr is the OnePlus video I shared here a while ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2988195
Partially off topic, but I wonāt buy OnePlus anymore, because they lock down the bootloader.
Iāll similarly stay away from OnePlus as they are basically nothing more than overpriced af āstock-likeā clones of Oppo/Vivo at this point.
My 8Pro is the last 1+ Iāll own. Looking longingly at Nothing Phone next year I think, but this phone has been wonky last few days. Keyboards not working, apps not working correctly (and are updated). Could technwbe because Iām still on Android 11, but the 1+ track record for stable Android releases isnāt great either.
I also got the 8 pro a while ago, it was such a shame watching their UI get uglier and uglier over time. I loved the warp charge feature
In newer versions itās entirely blocked. Iāve unlocked OnePlus 6 and it was quite easy, because there were no updates for Android 12. On OnePlus 7 it was a different situation I needed to downgrade first to be able to unlock the bootloader. And it only works with vendor tools in a special service mode. These tools are not provided for new phones anymore as far as I know. And I mean, what do you want to downgrade to when Android 12 bootloader stock image is locked.
Just curious, is 24GB of RAM in a smartphone useful for anything?
The only reason I can think of is for more on device ai. LLMs like ChatGPT are extremely greedy when it comes down to RAM. There are some optimizations that squeeze them into a smaller memory footprint at the expense of accuracy/capability. Even some of the best phones out there today are barely capable of running a stripped down generative ai. When they do, the output is nowhere near as good as when it is run in an uncompressed mode on a server.
For the user? Not at all. For the companies that want their spying/tracking apps to run and take your precious data 24/7? Yes, this way dozens of apps can track you even if you open a hundred more afterwards and forget about them, they can live forever deep down those 24gb
Hopefully this becomes standard. Looks like Apple were looking into it too
