It only does that if you use the back key to leave the app since it ends the program. If you leave via the home key it just suspends it.
to an android user this is considered more intuitive and well-documented than double-tapping the home icon to get to the task switcher on ios

Android task switcher has an omnipresent task switcher button and the omnipresent back and home buttons imply the process will run in the background when hitting home; you'd use back to exit otherwise

Apparently people in this thread use a strange version of Android where the back button behavior is always consistent and not the common version of Android where sometimes the back button boots you to the OS home screen and sometimes it takes you to the app's main screen.

how do you crush a phone that's in your front pocket (which is what i'm assuming is described in this tweet). like, just how... are his fat rolls reinforced concrete ?

getting to be annoying how little value seems to be placed in phones being reasonably sturdy. i will admit that i no doubt *could* be more careful, but it has been easier peace of mind to just buy stuff like nokias back when they were a thing (still on the lumia 950, which also appears to be largely indestructible)

one of those areas where not even apple is doing that well, though they are no worse than the typical android phone

if you care about such things youre using a case already

ah, well, there we rather have it, in that i find cases are largely universally ugly. i do, granted, have a mozo back on the 950, but that is already pushing it a bit as far as i am concerned

when one side is all glass youre kind of limited in the options available either you build the phone in such a way that a case is unnecessary making it look p. bad in the process or you make the phone nice looking and pleasant to hold and let those who care about durability over aesthetics cover it up

im not sure theres another choice

the company that said they could make it in volume couldn't actually make it in volume.

also sapphire is extremely hard but also just as brittle as regular glass, in thin sheets

it wouldn't scratch but it would shatter just fine

anyway bring back clamshell phones

they're using it on certain apple watch models. putting a thing in a lower-volume item before spinning it to a higher-volume item is pretty normal for apple, but who knows if they can find enough companies to actually produce enough

so i ended up buying another android phone, and it's okay. i ended up getting paid $20 to buy it, and it isn't awful and it makes and receives telephone calls.

so I guess i did it, i'm the android champion
