the lenovo tab 4 is coming out soon which is meant to be not garbage with the usual caveats applied to non-expensive android tablets
hm, the 64/4 version of lenovo tab 4 10 plus looks pretty good for my needs, especially if this will arrive for some 400 euro or less

e: sweet, 4 10 plus is 299

Seems like makers of flagship Android devices can't get it right these days. We recently reported on an ever-expanding class-action lawsuit targeting LG's flagships: the G4, G5, V10, V20, and Nexus 5X. Those phones, according to the suit and thousands of online complaints by users, have a legendary bootloop issue caused by shoddy construction that bricks the phones or slows them to a crawl.

Now the Nexus 6P phablet, unveiled in September 2015 for pre-order, is also being accused in a class-action lawsuit of having a "Bootloop Defect." According to the suit, the Nexus 6P devices "are defective because they are prone to enter an endless bootloop cycle which renders them unresponsive and unusable." What's more, the suit also alleges a "Battery Drain Defect," which has also been the subject of repeated online criticism by unhappy Nexus 6P consumers.

"As the numerous complaints posted on product reviews, blogs and other consumer resources reveal, countless consumers have experienced this Defect," according to the suit. The lawsuit mocks one of the advertisements about the device that claimed: "Battery life keeps you going all day and into the night."

Doc Block posted:

ok so I put down my phone for a minute and forget the exact context of the app I'm in when I pick it back up. what does that permanent, contextless back button take me back to?

or, if I'm reading Twitter and tap on a video and it opens in the YouTube app, does tapping the back button take me back to Twitter, to the home screen, or something else (like back to the main screen in the YouTube app)?

that's app and condition specific, but mostly "back to the the precious screen"

Blue Train posted:

The back button always takes you back, not necessarily to the previous screen. If they keyboard pops up in a text box, back collapses it, leaving the cursor in the text box. If you bring down a list, back closes it. It brings you back and where back is is dependent on what you were doing. It is, however, always back

i wanted to say previous state, but that'd been android of ux explanations

duTrieux. posted:

why does it leave focus in the entry box without the keyboard present?

for operations involving text selection so you dont have a third of screen or more taken up with something irrelevant, like copying part what you just typed for instance

Mar 15, 2013




duTrieux. posted:

so what you're describing is:

- tap an entry box to provide focus and call up the keyboard.
- tap back to dismiss the keyboard, but maintain focus to perform other operations.

in which case the button is explicitly not going back because it's introducing a new state. or is the justification that it's only going sort of back?

unless in android you have to tap an input field and then tap again to call up the keyboard, but then why would you need to use back to dismiss the keyboard without going back to—

tapping input fields for keyboard is app-specific

if you're curious for examples, awful.apk will autostart the keyboard on post/reply, whereas google translate will wait for user to tap the text entry field
