22 October 2024
It's nasty enough that you should probably hold off on updating.

          So apparently bricking smartphones and smartwatches is the newest gift of these big tech DEI companies to the customer.

              My pixel6 is restarting in a loop now few days after upgrading to Android 15. There is no easy way to roll back either.

                Something very similar happened with my nexus with the lollipop update. I never recommend anyone to buy a nexus or pixel device. They are just prototype devices and their buyers are like testers. Why would anyone want to pay to get a beta version device. This story has remained consistent since google has been making devices.

                    Anonymous, 16 hours agoWould not happen if android 14 was its last ever update. Which begs the question: What good in giving 7 years OS updates when Google's software QC is already going down the drain?

Would you do that based on your experience? - No! Any sane human would buy a phone from a different brand next time.
                      My fist smartphone was a HTC and they completely destroyed it with updates so I returned it and never looked at phones from that brand again and where are they now?

                        But the worst downside is how quickly they start phasing out and discontinuing support for older apps. Apps that work perfectly well, without any issues, mind you.

                        Android really needs to start natively adding a sandbox with legacy support for apps and games.

                                    I would never buy a Pixel since they've always had issues like these since day one. It's funny how something that's "engineered by Google" can't manage a basic software update.
