Exactly.

We need to stand our ground.

I have a feeling that alternate app stores are about to see a huge boost in users. Google is going to sorely regret their decisions.
[Greenify] shaggyskunk:
I admire your optimistic attitude - But... Alphabet is a Juggernaut and if it suits them - They'd probably just buy any potential problem ?

[Greenify] DB126:
Not to mention the relatively small number of individuals that will be adversely impacted when all is said and done. Bigger players (eg: LastPass) will likely receive some form of dispensation. Niche tools like Greenify might take a hit but that is not where the revenue stream resides. Google ain't catering to the Android enthusiast community.
[Greenify] cantenna:
I dont think they'll be buying the amazon app store any time soon.

but to the point of the other user you quoted, you'll likely see the accessibility needing market move to another app store.
[Greenify] DB126:
Sure. There are a handful of reputable alternative app stores that cater to small communities that dare to venture off the beaten path. Niche market; don't think Google is worried. Nor is it likely Amazon will cater to Android enthusiasts.

If Alphabet/Google is serious about reining in potential abuses look for further adjustments in the successor to Android 8.

Can you on XDA Dev put an parallel market on the XDA Labs with PayPal account with less taxes (good for all) to maintaining and update webpage to conventional user going fu*k up the Google to the apps then will not survive on the Google rules on the market?

Put and good design market to the conventional use on XDA please.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

If you on XDA Labs put a inner market in the app with an Market safe with PayPal the developers can update the Apps on the Market with no acessibility but make an link to be updated on the XDA Labs with a plugin or a new full version, we can free more people with xposed solutions to defeat Google Policy

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Dev can update your apps and redirect to the external link in XDA Labs without violated google policy.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

XDA Labs have power with an safe and free market scanning and checking malicious new apps to be so respected and Xposed so popular then I believed on the futere ASUS and Samsung make the ZenFone Deluxes and Galaxy S with Xposed on stock on the most expansive "and free" devices, absolutely. Please think renew the XDA webpage and XDA Labs to defeat the enemies of the freedom on coding.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Its time of the XDA webpage be more like Facebook on design and XDA Labs more like market on the safe and design to receive more redirected links to update and pay by apps on the XDA Labs with PayPal an Google Account if I like. Well if that happen we really will see if Google support free coding on open source.
[Greenify] DB126:
Interesting/digestible read; nothing new if you have been keeping up with the news on this topic.

[Greenify] hcur:
Have you thought about making Greenify Open Source / free software? You could upload it to F-Droid (an alternative app store for android with only open source apps), some of the Greenify users probably already have F-Droid installed. Another advantage would be that other devs could also contribute new features and bug fixes (only if you want this, of course;)). F-Droid does not have billing functions though, only a "donate" button.
[Greenify] x1ld3n:
I think it's a bad idea.
[Greenify] DB126:
I see no advantage to this except if the original developer wanted to ramp down parochial efforts. Open source would likely yield a cluster.
[Greenify] hcur:
Have you made bad experiences with Open Source? Just because mine were rather positive: If somebody wants to improve something, they can send a pull request. If you don't like the change you do not have to accept it.
[Greenify] DB126:
It's extra overhead that the developer may not care to entertain. If I have a clear vision and direction for an app then I want to personally execute on that plan which may or may not involve enlisting others help. By way of analogy it is akin to helpful "experts" imposing their will on how I should parent my children. To each his own.
[Greenify] hcur:
Well, other developers are likely to try to influence you. But if you state in the readme that you will accept only bugfixes and bug reports, no new features, most devs will probably accept this.
[Greenify] DB126:
Really see no reason to impose such restrictions. A closed source app can be open to suggestions that may be considered/accepted/rejected and coded by the original developer. Premise of community development has pros and cons that must be weighed on a individual basis but really boils down to personal preference.
[Greenify] hcur:
Sorry for answering so late, didn't look into my account...

I proposed this only because you stated that you "want[ed] to personally execute on [your] plan which may or may not involve enlisting others help." Of course an open source project can be community friendly or not, just like a closed source project.

The difference to open source is:

1. others trust your project more because they can check the source code themselves

2. others can not only report bugs & freature requests, they can also fix & implement things.

If you do not like their code style or whatever you do not have to accept their help. You can also tell them that they have to change something (like, match the code style of the rest of the app) before you accept their change.

But I still did not get what exactly you do not want: Is it the idea of other people's code in your app? Or that they want features you do not want?
[Greenify] DB126:
Important to note I am not the developer/maintainer of this app. I assumed this was obvious from the OP. I expressed an opinion without full disclaimer; appolgies for any misunderstandings. That said, developer could easily weigh in (and may still) if topic is/was of interest.
[Greenify] hcur:
No problem, I didn't expect that you are Greenify's dev ;)

I just wanted to discuss this with you as I didn't see why not make it an open source project (and, I must admit, I still didn't really understand it :(, see my previous post). I did never maintain an open source project myself though, so there maybe (/probably?) there are reasons I do not see.

Anyway, my question: What exactly don't you (or maybe Greenify's dev, as far as you can tell) want: Is it the idea of other people's code in your app? Or that they want features you do not want?
[Greenify] DB126:
For me (only) boils down to resource management to faithfully curate an open source project throughout its life cycle. There are contexts where I'd consider open source...especially where security/trust must be assured. I don't believe software/apps automatically become a community asset when shared. There are solid arguments on both sides of the table. Not really interested in debating it here.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] travezzzzzzzz:
Hmmmm... I don't seem to have that option. There are a lot of features that Samsung removed to make you realize you don't own a flagship phone. A good example of this is the very reduced Aod, or the missing haptic feedback feature.(You can activate it, but is sort of hidden). I hope they introduce more features in android Oreo. :fingers-crossed:

There is a new Rom from HTC for AT&T tilt.

http://www.america.htc.com/support/tilt/software-downloads.html

Anybody have any info on it? I'm sure not many people care with WM6.1 floating around but was wondering if anybody knows how different it is from the 1.61.502.2 version I got from this site. The new version says its 1.62.502.0.

I would try WM 6.1 but I use my phone for business and I'm nervous about using 6.1 beta builds. Am I being crazy not to go to WM6.1 and going with the new one from AT&T.

Why sould it be different from the other Android one devices???? Because you want MIUI?? There are people including myself who bought this device for the software. And not for MIUI.. When I had the LG Nexus 5 years before, I didnt remember anyone asking for a rom with LG UX skin.. Stop with this MIUI.. I get it.. Most people like it and it's okay.. My brother has the Mi 6 and he loves it.. I personally don't like it.. And I would never buy a Mi 6 or a Mi Mix or a Redmi Note device and ask all the time the developers to build a stock like Android rom because I don't like MIUI buti would buy a OnePlus or a Pixel or a Moto phone....

[Samsung Gear S2] virtualone:
Hi!

i have a big problem, I just went from a Galaxy S7 to a Honor 9, and now when I've paired my Gear S2 to the Huawei, the battery drains in just 2-3 hours! - I have located the problem to the Bluetooth-connection which now drops and re-connects every 4th-5th second!!!! This drives me crazy, have anyone else experienced this, and what to do with it? I have re-installed the gear app, re-synced the watch with the phone but nothing changes this. Any idea?

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] munisaac:
Ever since I bought my Nokia 8, I haven't been able to play any Facebook videos smoothly. I click on the video, it starts and stops. Then I have to hit the play button over and over. Sometimes it pauses, shows the loading thingy but audio keeps going and finally it crashes the app and re-opens it at the beginning of my timeline. I am hating this problem so much. I contacted Nokia support twice and after making me uninstall and reinstall the app again they came to the conclusion it's FB's fault. They say it may be also my internet connection which I am sure is wrong as I use other six devices at home and work and all work perfectly but my Nokia. I submitted a report on Facebook but they haven't responded yet. Does someone here have a similar issue? Should I take it to warranty to have them check it out? Thanks!

I used to have that issue but not noticed it so much these days. Specially after going to oreo beta. Videos used to stop like a thumbnail and audio used to play in the background. Worked only is full screen till I moved the slider to rewind or move forward and that used to crash the app every single time. Multiple feedbacks given to Nokia and FB and I am not sure which one fixed it but it is working AOK now.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
May i ask how 'hot' your phone is? Your idle drain is awful. Try to use Greenify and Enable Shallow Hibernation + all on Wakeup tracker. Keep Agressive Doze on but don't enable Doze On the Go. Keep in mind Gaming asks quite a bit of your phone.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Yiouuhh:
I will try with greenify only, usually i use a lot of apps for battery , force doze greenify powernap and amplify.

I try without all apps, here my score with 2 hours of game, i will try to not play for a battery cycle ^^
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Depending on what OS you are on all those battery saving apps are pointless. Android and one plus put apps into doze the min the screen goes off anyway.

As stated above your signal is weak and that will cause your battery life to drain very fast. Plus 3 hours of SOT is not bad when playing a game (which will eat a mobile battery alive, this is why I keep games where they belong and thats on a console made for gaming.)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Yiouuhh:
Usually i use other ROM, like zenity or aospextended with many features, so i need to use these apps for reduce the long time of no dozing. And i don't play game usually, from the all time with this phone i played maybe 20 hours.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Custom roms will have it as well as it is now built into aosp. Greenify has been known to cause more abttery drain then not. Due to having to wake up all of the app more then once. Once for built in doze and then once each for every app you soo called have for battery drain.

In the end I think you will find that your signal is the biggest issue with your battery. I get about the same signal strength and my device doesnt last all day. SOT time is normally about 2-3 hours.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Yiouuhh:
You think the signal trouble can be due to my phone ? this is a chinese version i think
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I don't know. I know the one plus uses a weaker antenna setup then other oems. But it could also be your carrier. When it comes to signal there are hundreds of things that could cause issues.

As an example. I live right below a nuclear missile silo, so due to all of the extra crap they are doing it kills cell phone signal a lot. Heck GPS doesn't even always work.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adoramlalezari:
So my note 5 is a verizon one and I'm using it on tmobile. Its usb plug is broken but I have a wireless charging pad so in theory I should be ok, but every time I put it on to charge it spazzes out, starts and stops charging, and a little message on the bottom says that it is switching from usb to wireless charging and the animation of the usb plug going in for charging keeps popping up as well. I was thinking that perhaps I could adb and disable charging from usb like in this thread:

https://android.stackexchange.com/qu...e-usb-charging

but I cant find a way to wirelessly adb even though I remember it being a thing mentioned at IO a few years back. I also read that a software update would help but I get a message every time I try to update that it cant connect to the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Do you know any appl/method to control the "permanent" 3G/GPRS connection established in order to syncronize with Exchange server?

On the Symbian platform (Nokia E61i) you control it through "mail for exchange" settings...
