What are some advanced apps/uses that you guys are using?

    My phone is setup to pretty much do my IT job from it if I have to. I can remote into my work computer/servers and accomplish pretty much any task I need to. Its extremely handy having a foldable for the extra screen space when I need it.

      Yeah I bet it is! I don’t like any extra fat on my phone but I have an S8 tablet that I load with shit so might look at setting up some workstuff on mine.

      They are BYOD, so I have to install the MS management crap…

        I’m the one who does the management shit at my work so guess who doesn’t abide by any of it themselves?

        Android Studio. If you’re on windows you’ll want to navigate to the folder with abd.exe in it and run it using the command line. This guide explains it far better than I could. Here is a list of bloatware that is safe to remove. Look over those packages, I didn’t remove them all cause I wanted GPay and stuff still.
