push notifications and the ability to silence them is fine ... there's no issue to solve here other than the misconception that notifications can't be turned off per app basis unless the app store does it for you

their fault i'm muting all the relevant notifications including the spam ones. leading to poor UX. leading to the uninstallation of said app

i guess the solution in the comment i described as anticompetitive is solving a problem that really isn't a problem ... you have the ability to turn off notifications (or notification channels in the case of Android) if they seem spamm

Android has notifications channels ... mute the spam/ad ones. I only have the payment and delivery status channels on alert, the others are not muted but "silent" (i.e. the show up in the notification tray but doesn't al

so many examples of this type of anti-competitive strategy already being used. why implement something with known deficiencies?

not close. Does an Amazon Firestick need a phone dialer? a TV need the contacts app. does your toaster need gMail? You are still in the mindset that Android == phone. Which isn't true. Android (a full fledged OS) supports all the thing

AOSP does not come with GMS

> the annoying bloatware, the subtle yet persistent tracking, and the endless wait for security updates. Get a Google Pixel phone OR put AOSP a phone. All other non-Google "android" phones are that manufacturers take on what An

yes and so is the "Settings" app. not sure i understand your point
74.
by twism 3y ago
that's just the "Launcher" app AOSP comes with. most folks using AOSP (commercially) use a different launcher for their own needs

that's how it's meant to be ... other companies that want to use android on their bespoke hardware need to write their own drivers/software/talk to their on servers anyways. If I put AOSP on my own device and it's t

how so? firefox exists ... and you can't run (real) chrome on ios

by twism 3y ago
that's because you are downloading from the apple app store ... try jailbreaking your iPhone and keep installing random things from cydia. Pwnage awaits

aint nobody suing about not being open ... unless Apple would be litigating all day. Google lost wrt that argument because they actually allow side-loading but with a scary warning that the app they are side-loading shouldn't be truste

was just wondering how pilots know ahead of time that there is turbulence a minute or 2 out (obviously can't see it in the distance) and it's the least technical way I thought possible

To me comparing iPhones to android is like apples to oranges (or more like apples to a barrel of an assortment of fruits from different regions of the world) ... compare the Pixel line to the iPhone line
