No, he's still using Android, he's just underwhelmed by the Galaxy Nexus.
- Symmetry 15y agoI was a bit underwhelmed too. Both because the menu button isn't always in the same place anymore, and because the back button doesn't interact in the expected way with the new way of switching apps.
- chimeracoder 15y agoCould you elaborate on the latter? I'm currently on an Incredible (CM 7 - so Gingerbread), and the back button is the third from left (home, menu, back, search), and the back button has unpredictable functionality (depending on the application).
- Symmetry 15y agoLets say I open up the web browser, then I use the application selector to go to my Twitter app. If I hit back I'll go to the homescreen, rather than the web browser. The app selection button somehow flushes out the entire back stack, which is really, really annoying. As to unpredictability regarding views within apps, its a bit worse but not hugely different.
- chimeracoder 15y agoI'm confused - I thought they were trying to get devs to standardize that, and that they also changed things in ICS? The way it currently is (for me on Gingerbread) that some apps have the back button go back to the previous view, but some go to the homescreen. And if I (say) open a browser link in an app, the back button will take me back to the application. (That may also be app-specific, but I just tried it out with one app). So what's different on the Nexus, and what part of that is ICS-specific changes (as opposed to things that app developers have to implement independently)? (Apologies for the confusion, but I still haven't seen an ICS device, and I don't develop for Android, so my knowledge of this is fairly passive, as a consumer).
