You want dark mode for your Facebook app? Get the Lite

Posted: 15 Feb 2020 06:40 AM PST

Smartphone UIs have been getting increasing darker over the past couple of years, culminating with the arrival of a system-wide dark mode with Android 10 and iOS 13. A lot of the major apps had the option for a dark theme before that, but even afterwards a couple of the most used apps don't offer the capability just yet - Google Maps (outside of the navigation mode) and Facebook. Well, it seems that at least Facebook's dark mode is on the way, judging by a recent development in that direction in Facebook Lite for Android - a toggle has appeared in the hamburger menu, letting you make the...

It didn't take long for someone to get a unit on an operating table and take it apart and we're now looking at a teardown video, courtesy of PBKreviews. In the video, we get to witness the usual process of prying off the glass backs (two in the Flip's case) after liberal application of heat. This gives access to the PCBs revealing a stacked design on the mainboard. Two separate batteries are to be found - smaller one on...

T-Mobile's OnePlus 6T finally receives Android 10 update

Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:33 PM PST

The OnePlus 6T has been running Android 10 for a few months now, but not so on T-Mobile. Units bought from the magenta carrier have been stuck on Android 9 Pie, for what seemed like forever. Not anymore, though. The carrier has finally started rolling out the update to Android 10 for its OnePlus 6T units today. As usual, this is a staged affair, so it may take a few days before your TMo 6T pops up that update notification, but it is on the way nevertheless. Once you install the ~1.6GB new software, you will have Android 10 on board, as well as the December 2019 security patch level....
