Latest pixel phones are even worse. Every update is a nightmare. With one update, Bluetooth wont work, next update I wont get signal etc. I don't want to be in the Apple ecosystem but I am forced to. At least it works all the time.


Google is becoming incompetent. It's not only their phones.

Currently they fail to fix their speech services for over a month. Doesn't update the language over mobile networks and drowns batteries while waiting/trying -- no matter the settings, restarts, Cache cleans. While other apps on those phones update properly over the same network. Dropped from a 4* rating to 1.5 (s. Play Store)

Major changes were "changed name", "new icon", which were a clear warning sign to me -- now they can add "botched network handling"


> I am forced to

Ten minutes on GrapheneOS.org web installer, no longer forced.


Properly supporting a device should be left on the shoulders of the manufacturer, not a group of volunteers who do it in their free time.


Not until society demands corporate responsibility with their cash....
