you don't need 'to be fair'. nobody gives a poo poo about the extenuating circumstances that lead to the compromised design of android, nor does that excuse the fact that it's been almost a decade and it's still garbage. hth.

android has achieved its purpose, which is to knock Microsoft out of the mobile os market and put google ads in everything they can. there is no value to google in making it better.

If you have a shiny new phone with Ice Cream Sandwich or above, screenshots are built right into your phone! Just press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time, hold them for a second, and your phone will take a screenshot. It'll show up in your Gallery app for you to share with whomever you wish!

it depends

if its a normal person they turn the volume all the way down and nothing happens

if its someone who has a vague idea what theyre doing youll get a screenshot with the volume slider obscuring the screen

if its a nerd youll get a screenshot

btw if you have google on tap enabled you can also longpress the home button and theres an option for a screenshot right there but literally no one knows this

it's 2017 and android still doesn't have a way to backup and restore a phone.

LastInLine posted:

Well the phone will redownload all your apps on setup. You can then restore Nova from a backup which can be made from within the app. SMS transferred on my Pixel but that might be Pixel-specific. I'd make a backup using SMS Backup & Restore. Note that the last time I used that app, it wasn't owned by Carbonite, it may be poo poo now, I don't know.

Apps backing up their settings should use Google's backup solution but not many do. As such, complex ones generally have a backup function within them so I'm sorry but you'll have to go through them to see which ones do. Lastly Helium can be fickle but it will work on those games without Play Games backup (or anything else, though almost everything I needed it for were games).

Sorry, that's the best you can do.

don't forget posting a message on facebook letting everyone know your phone was stolen and youll only be contactable by "inboxing" you until you can get a new phone

and everyone please send your phone numbers thanks!!!!!!!
