Failure of Android Ecosystem

I was a late follower of Android from Kit Kat 4.2.

It was not a happy start using a Chinese made tablet with low RAM.

Then I skipped 5 and entered 6 with a GreenTel cellphone which I used only on travel abroad and my adaptation of the Singaporean Sekin was a total disaster.

Next version of GreenTel I gave free to a guy who had never used a touch phone.

GreenTel tablet I sold at 20% to another guy who was using an arcane Java phone.

I wanted to give it free but he declined and I said 20% and he agreed.

He could not use it even a day a nephew of him grabbed it and made it dysfunctional.

I had few Java and gave them to domestic aids free.

So you could see how dissatisfied I was.

Coming from Linux background I needed and expected a solid operating system that runs 5 years uninterrupted.

None of it.

Then I knew the dollar will go up 2 years in advance and bought 3 Nokia phones at cut rate price before the next shipment was due.

All for testing and it's smallest one I added 200 applications and tested each one of those applications and I only love the Pencil Sketch.

I needed a Writer Application and none I tested did what I wanted it to do.

Blogger piece which I am blogging here is the only one I use regularly except opening the few emails I have.

Why I say Android is total failure is applied to the last three and that are in current use.

Even the Android with basic application is very slow to boot.

If you add a few more it becomes painfully slow.

All the applications consume lot of battery leave alone camera application and images.

It is all due to it's poor resource management.

1. It is not a fully fledged operating system.

2. It is rather a service system which sits on top of the service providers SIM and sucks pennies every second.

3. System calls are not organized or prioritized and like Windows boots up everything at boot time.
That is why it is slow.

4. It has no virus protection or malware protection protocol.

5. It has no hash or junk file deletion technique.
It keeps on piling up junk.

6. It cannot transfer a file from it to my Linux computer.
I do not have any Windows to test anyway.

7. All in all in three months it is chocker blocked.

8. It cannot retain a password file in the background while you enter it on the authorization page.
I have to use the other cellphone to memorise the 8 character password.

I have lived with all this and I am getting fed up.

9. Added to that battery has to be charged daily.

10. It cannot be shared and the moment you do that it starts carrying the Coronavirus free of charge.

It carries other nasty bugs, too.

I have a theory that if 67% of the population stop using cellphones the reduction of Coronavirus virus spread will be more than the effect of all the detergents used in the world.

All cellphones should be banned in hospitals not necessarily due to interference with electronic equipment but due to fast spread of all types of infections.

Only way to disinfect a cellphone is to put it in a incinerator.

The list can go on.

It is time to say good bye to all cellphones and tablets.

Toilet paper one can flush it or burn but cellphone becomes an extended interfering appendage.

BEWARE!
