Don't forget the RGB notification led!

I switched to Chinese brand phones, they still have all this and they're dirt cheap, currently rocking an Ulephone power armor 18t, which also has a flir infrared camera and a microscope for some reason. No I'm not joking, they work surprisingly well and have come in handy more than I thought they would!

That was the first thing I missed when I went to a Galaxy S22. But aodNotify works great as replacement (you can make your own notification light this way and customize it, not a lot of battery drain either due to the OLED screen). But yeah, removing the notification light sucked.

All except the IR blaster, right?

And optional microscope connects to the phone, looks like.

What do you use the IR blaster for? Controlling TVs?

[–] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

controlling anything that uses a remote to be controlled TV, Projectors, ACs, etc...

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

I suppose there were universal remote apps?

Don’t forget the RGB notification led!

The Nexus One had this, the trackball had an RGB LED inside it. With custom ROMs it could be customised to flash different colours and patterns for just about anything.

Not sure I'd consider £600 "dirt cheap" but the thermal camera is definitely cool.

They have frequent sales, i got it for under 300

How did you buy this? It pretty much had everything I want! Big battery, good screen, SD card, waterproof. Any bugs on it day to day? It does seem to have some shitty Chinese android skin.

[–] Endlessvoid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Aliexpress, or Amazon if you want to pay a bit more but get it faster. I've had it a few months, no bugs i've noticed, it runs essentially stock Android.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I never had one of those, that I can recall.

[–] mathematicalMagpie@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

The notification LED became a bit obsolete with AOD. I don't need a bright flashing light, the notification being visible when the screen is off is enough.
