Google app 8.91 seems to have killed reminder notifications

To be clear, this seems to be a new issue. It's not the issue where reminders are late, which is mitigated by unoptimizing the Google app for battery, nor is it the issue where location reminders aren't triggered, which is an old issue. This is for timed reminders.

I have a Pixel 3 and 2XL on Pie, a Nexus 6 and N9 on 7.1.1, and Samsung S4. All on Google app 8.91.5 except for the P2XL which is on 9.5 beta. I stopped getting reminder notifications about 2 days ago, according to the app Notif Log....

[Vendor Backdoor?] Huawei deletes images downloaded from Twitter

So Huawei put a backdoor into their own Android?

Just read a post from a local (Hong Kong) forum saying that a China user using a Huawei phone got his image downloaded from Twitter automatically deleted by the OS.

Doesn't it means that Huawei got backdoor on the user's phone? Probably they have to verify image/checksum with their own (China) server's to do it. Probably why US Government ban their products.

A link from a Taiwan media is here [https://tw.appledaily.com/new/realtime/20190119/150...

what is the point of curved edges on phone glass?

I'm not talking about the galaxy Edge type curves where the feature is marketed, but rather like on my S7 where the glass just isn't quite flat on the perimeter.

Is it aesthetics? strength? easier to control faults in manufacturing?

It seems like nothing but a downside considering how much harder it is to find a screen protector.

I have a LG G7 on the way and it looks like I need to spend $50 on a protector that involves a UV curing glue to get the edges coated right.

Compare to any $2-4 fl...

The Hybrid

I comfortably switch between Androids and iPhones, and I have to tell you, if you love technology, it’s the best thing ever.

I urge all of you techie folks to use both just so you have a feel for what each has to offer. There are pros and cons on both sides.

I’m currently using an iPhone X, and will most likely switch to a Galaxy S10 next since the Pixel 3 was such a disappointment.

I’ve made the process incredible simple so switching back and forth is no hassle at all. Basically, every tim...

Are the actual flagships being more worthless?

Oneplus was born to kill the flagships, but increasing their price makes more worth buying a One Plus 6/5T than a 6T/7 (when they release it). Most of flagships are removing basic features and selling them as a revolution. Firts was the removable battery, next the SD slot, next the IR sensor, next the home button (i dont care if they include gestures which I like them, but still having navigation buttons makes full screen phones useless), and now the jack, and I can bet that next will be the vo...

Any news about upcoming tablets that is more powerful than Snapdragon 835?

Just got back to tablet hunt after 4-5 years. I'm surprised to see that the fastest one(galaxy tab s4) is still using Snapdragon 835.

​

I'm holding back for Mobile World Congress on Feb 24, 2019. But from quick googling, no brand seems to want to announce any high end tablets. The only major brand rumored to unveil new tablet is Samsung. And that's not even a high-end model(Galaxy tab A). So, topic. >\_<...

Updates may be getting faster, but the vast majority of devices don't get a single OS update. Statistics inside.

Okay, so we're going to be taking a look at phone updates based off data from GSMArena, I'm trusting the data is accurate and up to date, but if there are dependencies please let me (and GSMArena) know.

 

To set the scene:

2015: Marshmallow
2016: Nougat
2017: Oreo
2018: Pie

 

Total phones released:
