Lol this is the clarification Note: To clarify, support for e.g. Android 4.4.4 KitKat (Google's support cut-off), means at least security patches in 2014, 2016 and August 2017.[15] The updates may or may not reach actual users' devices; that depends on vendors. Google (and others) may support their own users' devices with a major upgrade only, instead of a security update to those older versions, but it's possible to do.

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM "PLAY" IN GOOGLE MUSIC ON MY PHONE. ITS A PIXEL XL AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONG WITH THE MUSIC. WHEN I WAS DONE I WOKE THE PHONE TO STOP PLAYBACK BIT THE PAUSE BUTTON WAS UNRESPONSIVE ON THE APP AND I PAUSED THE MUSIC ON THE NOTIFICATION AND SWIPED THE NOTIFICATION AWAY. THE ENTIRE PHONE THEN BECAME UNRESPONSIVE.

It's hosed upquote:I have a lot of other criticisms about the software beyond that bizarre failure (which, it should be noted, I haven't experienced anything like since the early Lollipop days of the Nexus 5). It just doesn't feel finished in any meaningful way. Also there is now a notification that tells you apps are running in the background, even if the app itself provides a notification. You can't dismiss that poo poo either so it's just always there lol

Blue Train posted:It's hosed up the notification for backgrounded apps is almost certainly an attempt to irritate users who insist on using poorly coded apps but what google seems to have forgotten is every android screenshot ever where the notification icons have encroached on the system information part of the bar and extend leftward to infinity

i kinda wish i was more familiar with ios through the years b/c at least on the mac even when apple makes changes i can see what they were trying to accomplish. some things they do arent perfect and some of them are bad but i can see the logic in them (lol remember being able to tweet from the notification center?) google just changes poo poo because its been a year and people learned where things were and how they looked so time to gently caress poo poo up im not sure but im almost certain the lockscreen clock has changed with every android release some years its bold some years its thin some years its an all caps date some years its not and this year its a little smaller than it was before and the date is back to not being all caps but its fixed width because i guess they wanted some AESTHETIC up in this bitch

LastInLine posted:ive got to ask then how is it that the promotion committee came to value clock size changes? like when youre in front of the career tribunal why arent results or necessity taken into account? the answer is that android users get bored with consistency and reliability. they prefer to see constant churn of UI changes because it makes upgrades more exciting. they think the OS is an end in and of itself, not a means for getting things done. we forget now, but there was a time when "widgets" were considered essential components of your android desktop. clock is the only widget that wasn't completely idiotic. hence four clock android screenshots.

honestly tho id prob. accept that its not boredom on the part of the users but boredom on the part of google itself youre certainly right about making upgrades more exciting and it being an end in and of itself and with that being internalized by google i can now understand change for changes sake so yeah i guess youre right except for the part about it being about the users lol also tho widgets own and i love them

i'll show what i'm talking about. here's the standard android OS buttons that you can access inside all apps: the right one opens the task-switcher interface, similar to alt-tab on a computer or double-tapping the home key on iOS. middle one is the home key, which takes you back to your home screen. left one is the "back" key, which backs you out to the previous screen of your app, or like if you're in the camera app because another app launched it to take a photo, it will take you back to the first app. now let's look at samsung: i read an article saying that samsung lets you change it so the back button is on the left, but holy crap it is so silly that google allows such a basic UI idea to be "customized" in such a silly way
