see the thing with android is the interface can be pretty different from a phone to another, so that pic you have just posted apply just for a shitty low end model

Yes OP I know android is a piece of shit but over the years /g/ has made me paranoid so I don't feel comfortable using iOS anymore. I wish I could just be rid of all my memories of 4chan tbqh

Looks like a screen cap of someone either using the official youtube application, or browsing youtube in a web browser without adblock. Either way, retarded. Just use Newpipe.

When you push the volume buttons, unless a video is playing right then it'll change the ringer volume.

Fuck I hated that so much. Luckily you can fix it with Gravitybox or Cyanogenmod.

The ringer volume thing is still present in latest Android, Touchwiz or not.

I like that I can make my phone look like how I want it, have more control over notifications, and integrate with my botnet.google accounts from my home to work computer to phone.

Nexus 6P, yeah most apps are shit but i just browse and work on my phone so I don't give a shit. Many iOS apps crashed just as much if not more and I don't get pestered to update every 5 minutes anymore

Also, if you try to play a video longer than ~7 mins, the playback stops after a while. It's outdated too. I've been using WebTube, in F-Droid too.

I think OP is about the annoying thing when you try to turn up the media volume but it instead breaks out of silent mode
>>
>>55317337
Yeah, I'd rather not make excuses for my mobile OS. It's shitty behaviour and shouldn't be the default. Luckily with Gravitybox and CM you can change that, but Jesus Christ, I cant believe they defaulted to that.

What the fuck is Google thinking
>>
>>55317337

This wasn't an issue before so what happened? Android used to be good but every update has made it worse and worse.
>>
>>55317417
Why should I have to? The default is retarded, no reason to make excuses for it.

>Either have the sound blasting or go through an extra step to change the volume you most often change

What a retarded choice from them to make it default to ringer and not giving the option to default to media. There's no excuses for not having the option.
>>
>>55317931
As long as I remember they've defaulted to ringer volume and the volume keys only change the media volume when media is playing. Why they've made such a retarded choice, I don't know. But it's been that way as long as I can remember.
>>
Have my phones just been shit, or is it normal for the gyroscopes in phones to rarely work? Every time I want to switch my phone between landscape and portrait it's such a fucking struggle to see-saw it around little a retard until it finally registers and the display rotates.

In iOs you can't change the media volume unless you're playing media, not at all, you don't even have the option to change media volume by opening up a menu like you can on android.
>>
>>55316893
Because you can get a new piece of shit on Amazon for <$99 with decent battery life and LTE.
>>
>>55318942
iOS sucks even more but it's still an absurd issue to have on Android. Why the fuck can't it be an option in settings? Is there some legit reason it's made this way?
>>
>>55318942
Why would you need to change the volume when media isn't playing?

The volume goes down fast enough that you'll never hear the media if you start reducing the volume from the beginning of the file.

Yeah, good luck with that if your volume is all the way up. There's literally no reason to have the option to change media volume as default.
>>
>>55318513
Is that really a shitty gyro rather than shitty programming? Don't gyros work pretty good in games?
>>
>>55319071
Are you using a custom ROM or Gravitybox or some shit like that? It doesn't seem to be an option in the latest vanilla

The average consumer finds any customisation too much customisation, the average consumer prefers apple.

Filesystem access

You don't need to run OS X and buy a $200 license to run your own programs/other peoples programs not approved by apple

Literally its only advantages, it's garbage otherwise.
