I feel like Google maps needs some navigation work as of lately.

Directing me to the correct location still works excellent. It's the navigation while driving that is just really starting to annoy me.

I'm in Washington. Around Seattle. I take i5 and i405 a lot. What happens is for an example, I'll be on i405 and there will be a few massive junctions along my route. Instead of giving me what my exit is (IE: stay on i405 for 15 miles. Your next exit is 4), or when it's even coming up, it just announced "stay on i405 for 5 miles" ok, now I'm passing the next t...

A Basic Landscape Mode Should Be Required for All Android Apps

Do Google and Samsung realize one reason Apple dominates the tablet market is because Android developers often fail to include landscape mode for their apps? Why not make at least basic landscape mode a requirement for app store approval?

Some believe Google has largely given up on tablets. Their focus does seem to be almost exclusively on phones and Chrome laptops. Maybe the thinking is, why care about tens of millions of tablet users when the real prize is over a billion phone and laptop/de...

Who has kept their phone for more than 3 years and why? Are you using a custom rom?

I've had the Oneplus 8t+ 5G from t-mobile and I don't think I'm going to be upgrading until it breaks or something fails. A phone this new has everything I could ever need. 12gb of ram, 256gb of storage, 120hz screen, a great camera with gcam, the specs go on but at the end of the day a working phone is still a good phone....

The new Google Play Store 'Manage apps and devices' section... is really bad

I don't understand some of the changes Google makes to perfectly working apps for seemingly no reason. It now takes an extra click for checking for app updates, which adds up when you check it multiple times a day.

More importantly, updates don't always show up on the first screen. 1 in 10 times, it'll show the 'All apps are up to date' message but when I click on it and click 'Check for updates', two new apps will show that they do in fact require updates. What the hell?

And whose idea was it...

On the first image you can even zoom onto other portions of the photo and see the detail that the 108MP captures. You can easily read names...

Android without Google Services is gonna be more usable soon !

Here's a simple study conducted by me - So we all are aware that Windows 11 is coming with Android support using Intel bridge technology and the app repository would be 'Amazon App Store' with 500k apps, not Google Play with more than 2 million apps ... 

So a normal person would see this as a collaboration with Amazon and Microsoft but that won't be the actual story under the hood ; it's Amazon's Another creepty attempt to create a Google-free Android . This collab would lead more and more andr...
