Why can't the Android be like Windows for example?

Why can't be from now on only Android 10 and just instead of making a new version of Android just add these improvements to the current version, is like when new version of Android comes out all developers have to update and make changed to their apps to work on the newer version too....

My review of the LG V60, coming from the OnePlus 7T

So to start, since I use Jump on Demand I have had experience with a lot of flagship phones over the past few years, from every major android phone manufacturer.

I had been interested in the V60 since it was announced, since I honestly missed LG's V-series. The V10 and V20 were some of the favorite phones I ever owned, and I loved how LG was going against the grain with the design with their phones back then.

The Evolution of Smartphone Design in recent years

It's interesting to see how the design of smartphones can drastically change in just a few years.

Based on my observation, the two main smartphone that had the most impact on smartphone design in recent years (atleast on the front design) are the iPhone X, with the big notch, and the Galaxy S10/S10+ with the curved display and punch hole camera(s):

We can clearly see that in 2017-2018, many manufacturers design their smartphone to resemble the iPhone X's design. Wh...

I miss the variety during the 2010s era of smartphones...

Every phone company during that time had its own personality. Sony Ericsson. HTC. Samsung. Motorola. Nokia. They all had their own unique style and design philosophies. Nowadays it's mostly the same. Though I understand that it's mainly because screens literally take over the entire front, but I feel like they can still do something to differentiate themselves in some ways.

Anyone miss the Xpressmusic designs? 5800, 5530 had such fun, youthful designs. How about the LG Optimus One? Xperia Arc, ...

RCS Troubleshooting

If for some reasons your RCS (Rich Communication Services) or Chat Features are not working on your phone, you might be able to fix that just by uninstalling and reinstalling (or updating) a system app called Carrier Services. Note, this steps are for Android Messages application. For other third party applications, steps could be different.
You can do that very simply by going to the Play Store and searching for carrier services. When the app appears, select uninstall and then reinstall or upd...
