Automatic updates broke your phone; the fix is a highly technical manual process.

https://kbin.social/m/androiddev is more appropriate for this type of post.

 

The 2020 lawsuit said Google was deceiving people into thinking that they could control the information they're willing to share.

 

Victory Royale.

 

Candy Crush would have been the gateway drug.

Swap screen down from the top of the screen - like when you want to see a notification: different devices acts differently, in some you have to swap from upper-right to see the tiles. You can also edit the tiles to add, remove and re-arrange, in order to have the ones you use more often in the first page.

"Do not disturb" option should be available as a quick setting tile, which is more complicated to activate from a button combination, but not too hidden in the device settings.

For "Do not disturb" (if this is what you ask) you can configure it in device settings: Sound > Do Not Disturb > section "What can interrupt do not disturb".

 

Google's "solution" can't do anything for bootlooping devices.

 

Web Integrity pivots to Android, could permanently kill YouTube Vanced-style apps.

You have the obligation to use it since the manufactures doesn't gives updates to various versions of the OS, for example, if the device has version 13 and there is an update for 14 if you choose to not get the newer version you'll not get security updates for version 13. Also, newest devices will get only version 14 (or newer) and with the boot loader locked you can't install a different version of the OS.

For me, the question is whether I have the right to use a device I bought as I want or not. There is, rightly, a lot of talk about "right to repair," but now the issue is becoming "right to use".
Can I install an old application that I still find useful or should be the operating system to decide if i can use it, without there being an incompatibility issue?
Can I decide what permissions I want to give an application or should the Play store (and protect) decide without appeal what I can do?

 

But it is for security reasons - it is always about security reasons when old devices and now even old apps have to be thrown away.

Android 14 offers a lightly customizable lock screen and not much else.

(Does anybody care about Android 14?
Currently, those who will end up with a bricked Pixel phone.)

 

Users with multiple profiles are getting locked out of local storage and losing data.

(It wouldn't shock me if they found out that this bug is related to all the changes Google has been making the last few years to prevent users and apps from being able to access their files in a normal way because it's trying to make Android a bad copy of iOS.)

 

How’s the update working out for you?

 

Pixel 8's 7 years of software updates is revolutionary... maybe

Both are allowed.

  • Kotlin: "are you talking to me?"

This could be useful. I will add it in the to-do list.

Time is relative :)
This is an updated article, but since it contains a lot of information grouped together I thought it might be useful.

"Tags" are similar to twitter hashtags, you can use them to categorize a post. For example, if you create a post about Android you can add the tag "android" (without "#"). When you manage a magazine you can add one or more tags (always without "#") to see posts of the fediverse with that tag.
I have no idea about "badges" :)

I added it in the latest version.
