you might think so but no even with an off brand comic sans as a system font and every other thing samsung chose there are worse out there. lg copies samsung and it turns out copies of copies are even worse

what i find unbelievable is that samsung themselves believes it looks good. like obv. its common knowledge they copied apples iconography and since that worked theyve tried to stick to the same look because why gently caress up a good thing but no one there could seriously think theyre doing a good job right? its all just an emperors new clothes scenario where no one wants to tell the family oligarch that his taste is trash right?

at least the newer ones (s6 and up) don't have the eye-searing Windows XP Bliss wallpaper that was default on the S4

So android 7.1.1 doesn't work on dual stack IPv6/IPv4 networks and only gets an IPv6 address. meaning that only half the internet works.

The official work around is to turn off IPv6 for the entire network.

You gotta add the SD PV to the correct volume group and then extend the LV (use the -r flag unless you want to mess with file system flag afterwards)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/15/google-sending-android-7-0-ota-update-nexus-6-phones-running-7-1-1/

Apparently, Google is pushing the 7.0 OTA to Nexus 6s running 7.1.1. At first it started just with T-Mobile customers but moved to Fi as well. This is causing the whole to just absolutely poo poo not only the bed but the floor and probably the carpet too. The only fix is seems to be a reinstall of 7.1.1 and wiping of personal data in the process.

Android Police has decided that using Lineage OS is better than the default Android on the 6 at this point thanks to problems like 7.0 taking forever to get to the 6, when it DID hit it broke the speakerphone, and the March update to 7.1.1 broke Android Pay and breaks SafetyNet (Google re-released the March security OTA and disabled SafetyNet just so Android Pay would work).
