Project Mainline only for phones that ship with Android 10?

https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/4/20848251/android-10-review-dark-theme-focus-mode-gestures

The Android 10 review on Verge mentions towards the bottom "Unfortunately, Project Mainline will only be available on phones that ship with Android 10 by default, not on those that upgrade to it.". Can anyone confirm if this is true? It seems like so many phones will miss out on this benefit of having security updates installed through the Play Store....

Late 2019, YouTube music still incompatible with Google services including, but not limited to home, & assistant

And it's getting pretty frustrating, the only reason I got YouTube music in the first place was because it came with my YouTube Premium subnoscription, & I thought why not, I might as well use it if I'm paying for it.

After a year of usage, I can say it works well on my device, but trying to get my assistant to shuffle a playlist while I'm on the road, or play anything that's actually in my library & not a YouTube video is impossible. I'd switch to Spotify if it wasn't for my YouTube Premium.

Microsoft's long term plans with Android

With Microsoft's announcement of jumping back into the mobile market using Android, I think we might be seeing some exciting new developments down the line beyond just seeing an exciting new trinket from Microsoft.

Microsoft's previous failures in the mobile market was heavily attributed to the inability to get app developers to write apps for its mobile Windows platform. This is no longer an issue now that Microsoft is fully embracing Android as its chosen platform, and they have a strong pres...

If your phone has been randomly vibrating, here is a possible solution

Hi Everyone,

So my phone has been randomly vibrating from time to time for several weeks now. Turns out it was to do with the emergency alert settings. Turning them off has stopped it and since the UK doesn't use them, it's not a loss for me (note: this does not affect any flood warning or similar text messages you are signed up to, as they dont use your device's alert settings)

If you live in or travel to a country that does use such alerts, it may be worth reenabling them for that trip.

I ...

What old android feature do you miss the most?

I'll start. I miss when I could unlock my phone with my voice. I used to jump right into an app or take a specific action without having to pick up my phone.

Android should change their scrolling behavior to vibrate when it hits the top or bottom of a scrollable object.

Okay, here goes:

The only difference that I can see between Android am iOS is the scrolling behavior. On iOS, when the user across past the beginning or end of the list, the object acts elastic and it lets you scroll a little bit past the end of a list. On the other hand, Android just stops you at the top or bottom of the scrollable object and shows you an overscroll indicator.

In my opinion, the iOS behavior feels more intuitive and smooth.

But, if Android implemented a UI change where the p...
