Yeah, my battery is hosed as well. Also, the camera is only good if it's really bright and your hands are really steady. Lack of OIS really hurts one of its best features.

any recommendations for a dirt cheap android (e: that still has play store) that i can use for awful.apk and vpn/ssh to my home network? it'll never be used for calls and will only be used on wifi. looking to replace my galaxy s5 before it dies completely -- it was my main phone until last year and now it's just my goofing off device

I have two iPhones, one for day and one for the night. When the day phone runs out, the night phone takes over. I never have to worry.

I don’t use a ring of any kind on my phone. This is so that I am always on offense and never defense.

yes, having a phone that's consistently and reliably functional for the things you want to use a phone for is anathema to the android experience

so what happens first: headphones with a usb-c jack, or a charger with a 1/8" jack that works when plugged into a headphone dongle

sure just make one of them a headphone jack instead because 1/8" headphone connectors are everywhere and they're good and they don't rely on tiny piece of poo poo li-ion batteries that'll be useless in 2 years

i *think* they mean with a female port so you can charge and listen at the same time.

android q stands for "google shuts down anroid dessert names and statues":

quote:

Our engineering team has always used internal code names for each version, based off of tasty treats, or desserts, in alphabetical order. This naming tradition has become a fun part of the release each year externally, too. But we’ve heard feedback over the years that the names weren’t always understood by everyone in the global community.

For example, L and R are not distinguishable when spoken in some languages. So when some people heard us say Android Lollipop out loud, it wasn’t intuitively clear that it referred to the version after KitKat. It’s even harder for new Android users, who are unfamiliar with the naming convention, to understand if their phone is running the latest version. We also know that pies are not a dessert in some places, and that marshmallows, while delicious, are not a popular treat in many parts of the world.

As a global operating system, it’s important that these names are clear and relatable for everyone in the world. So, this next release of Android will simply use the version number and be called Android 10. We think this change helps make release names simpler and more intuitive for our global community. And while there were many tempting “Q” desserts out there, we think that at version 10 and 2.5 billion active devices, it was time to make this change.

this is one of the dumbest piece of poo poo post-hoc justifications I've ever heard.

What is the scenario where you're telling some Japanese monk about Android versions and he knows the English alphabet (because he would have to to understand the sequence in the first place) but doesn't know what a lollipop is or about the R L confusion and also it's only talking about it, nothing is written down

I mean the candy names were stupid and juvenile but for gently caress's sake just say "we're deprecating those" you don't have to make up vaguely racist reasons like this to justify it
