If someone from google reads this, can you please consider removing the functionality that periodically drops the nav bar at the top down? Many people use the top of their screen as a bar to line up and read text. Your site is basically unreadable.
I'm tired of the throw away culture of Android device manufacturers. With the exception of Google Pixel and the Samsung top models, where you get up to 3 Years (security) updates, you can throw your Android device away after 2 years, sometimes only after a year. The hardware is usually still fine after this time, but you won't get no more updates and will have an insecure device.
That's the beauty and power of the Android ecosystem. You aren't forced to buy an expensive "flagship" phone which makes it (and smartphones) accessible to many more people. While we all wish manufacturers would support their low end devices for years, it just doesn't make economic sense. That being said, there are plenty of mid-range and even high-end Android devices that are left out to rot. Samsung and Google are…
All I care about is to know if they fixed the horrible direct share issue that makes the share sheet unusable for couple of seconds everytime I share something. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/05/google-please-fix-a...
Am I the only one who doesn't want a phone that arbitrarily changes behavior in opaque and uncontrollable ways? Machine learning is fine for hard tasks like voice recognition, but it really shouldn't be used for things that would otherwise be a few checkboxes. I know the trend nowadays is to assume that users are irredeemably stupid, but this? Seriously? You can keep this update. I don't want it.
I love how it starts with: "Technology should help you with your life, not distract you from it. " and then "A new Dashboard, for instance, shows you how you’re spending time on your device, including time spent in apps, how many times you’ve unlocked your phone, and how many notifications you’ve received." Who cares? What am I supposed to do with this information? (Apart from Google, of course.)
I'm amazed and simultaneously shocked by current state of technology and it's use. 28.6 MB in 8 gifs on the site. But i had not noticed that because site fully loaded in 7 seconds.

Lots of people spend way too much time on their phones and want to use it less. That info could help you see what apps you're spending/wasting the most time on and help you decide to cut back on. Seeing that you spent a whole hour on instagram is a helpful wake up call.
Seeing which apps are sending more notifications could help you see which ones are taking up too much of your attention and help you decide whether to turn them off for them.
Very nice. I am especially excited about these features: > App Timer lets you set time limits on apps, and will nudge you when you’re close to your limit and then gray out the icon to remind you of your goal. > Wind Down will switch on Night Light when it gets dark, and it will turn on Do Not Disturb and fade the screen to grayscale at your chosen bedtime to help you remember to get to sleep at the time you want. I a…
I imagine you would need root on your phone to kill apps from another app.

> Any tips? Don't buy Samsung? I learned this lesson a long time ago.
But what to buy instead? The only option seems to be an iPhone. Or is there an android vendor with longer support?
