IMNAL, but won't you have a better chance of success going against Lenovo than Google, since it's a Lenovo device.
Just for record, when Sony killed support for their smart clock, forgot what it's called, they gave everyone something - we got a Sony bluetooth speaker.
Edit: In Android generally you can uninstall updates for individual services - did you try that?
- Stratoscope 5y agoInteresting idea about suing Lenovo instead. But I like Lenovo! The Smart Display is a very sweet piece of machinery. It's Google who damaged this machine with their forced update. Dunno about rolling back any Android services, this is basically a kitchen appliance that Google controls my interaction with. As much as I love to hack into systems, I don't see a way in there that would be worth my time.
- starfallg 5y agoRegardless of your preference and who manages the updates to your device, your contractual relationship was with the retailer and Lenovo (the manufacturer), not with Google.
- iam-TJ 5y agoIf you're serious about pursuing Google then investigate the grounds for claiming "Tortious Interference".
- Animats 5y agoTalk to a lawyer, but, strategically, this is usually when you sue both parties. That forces them to deal with each other, and eventually their blaming each other ends up being argued in front of a judge.
