angry_keebler posted:no one should buy any android device agreed quote:but pretending huawei is somehow worse than sarnsung is laughable. the big concern is, what if huawei's device encryption eventually actually works? we have direct sweetheart deals with the koreans to compel sarnsung's cooperation, and if apple talks a good privacy game, they are still an american company and can be compelled by secret order to cooperate woah

What was the name of that initiative where Google tried to get all the OEMs to commit to 3yr support cycles for all the phones they make only for them to give up on the initiative within 6 months? This was back in the 2.3 days

my nexus 5x was still getting OS and security updates. i was teasing my coworkers earlier because their newer samsungs were sometimes months behind my old nexus on security updates. i've known for over a year now that the bootloop death was coming though. fuckin' LG.

Generic Monk posted:was there any nexus device that didn't have catastrophic reliability issues? nexus one reportedly had power button problems but i didnt and they sold in such tiny numbers that its hard to generalize the nexus s never worked at all the cdma galaxy nexus had serious lte battery drain but i dont think had reliability issues. the gsm model was reliable it just was a crappy phone the nexus 4 had a fragile glass back and a daughter card for usb that would go out but was very easily user replaceable the nexus 5 had power button issues but other than that was p. reliable the nexus 6 didnt work that well from the get go but i think p. much stayed that way the 5x/6p both had catastrophic failures though remarkably not the same one so i guess the answer is kinda? even the ones that worked had other significant drawbacks

This was back in the 2.3 days you're probably thinking of the "android one" program. this wasn't around in the 2.3 days. it's gone through a couple of iterations. the first was for phones in developing markets. now it's a general "i promise to ship basically stock android and support it" and some OK phones for developed markets are coming out. Nokia/HMD are doing it for their current offerings

butt dickus posted:it was the open handset alliance, then google play edition, then android silver and now it's android one close its the android update alliance that bangers is thinking of that lasted like six days the other stuff tho is the path of trying to put stock android on devices with sometimes google or sometimes the oem handling the updates. in both cases updates never came the current approach is project treble which is abstraction made so updates can be done without affecting oem skins and that seems to be effective so far. before that they were letting the oems in on the development as it happened to speed updates but i dont think that had a name
