Greener grass

I'm using an XR now and it's a joyless iMessage machine. I've come to hate faceid, the notch is still annoying (why would anyone copy that?!), it's heavy and slippery and after using a friend's Note 9 on the same network, his was so much faster I thought my phone was broken.

I've also had 2 Notes, an s7, and HTC One. But security issues, update issues, lag issues, nonexistent customer support and the goog's history of killing things seemingly because they found out I relied on them (not an and...

A month after shutting down, I'm still rocking Google Inbox. Sync & Notifications working Perfectly.

I've been using version 1.77.211 for a while now, but I flashed a new ROM a week back (which of course led to losing data). Luckily, I had a backup from TiBu and can confirm that if you managed to create a Titanium Backup of app+data, you will be able to continue using Inbox if you just restore the backup bypassing the sign in prompt and error....

I didn't know this about the Chrome app.

Apparently, if you press and hold the back button it pops up with a brief list of your history to select from. This is handy for those websites that try to keep you on their page no matter how many times you back up.

Review of S5E (and emulator use)

I bought the black 128GB, 6GB RAM version.  For perspective, I also have devices Androids with the 835, 845, 950 Kirin and the 960 Kirin.   I saw no performance difference with the 960 over the 950 Kirin, so kept the older Media Pad.
I mainly bought it to see how it performs with higher end emulators.  Quick gloss over:

Build = Great

Weight is light

Speakers sound unusually good for a tablet, and better than my iPad Pro 256GB

Display = Great

Battery life = Great- easily over ten hours with ...

How expensive phones are strangling Android version distribution

**TL, DR:** The dramatic increase in phone prices over the past few years has forced users to lengthen their hardware upgrade cycles. At the same time, the rate of Android updates hasn't matched this increase. As a result, the share of Android phones running less than the latest Android release is increasing.

Google's original vision for hardware was for it to be inexpensive and easily replaced. However, Apple shifted the market perception prefere...
