My Android Dream
My first phone was a Java Bean.
Then I had GreenTel phone with Android 6 which has very good Camera.
Latter edition of GreenTel is not upto the mark.
But my Nokia with Android 8 under Rs.15,000/= is a solid built and I can SPLIT the screen.
Floating notes and coloured notes are nicely displayed.
SamSung phone under Rs.15,000/= slightly inferior in quality with Android 8 and no hardware support for SPLIT screen.
My first entry to Android 4.4, was the Chinese KitKat tablet, which is still functioning but due to poor RAM downloading even 10 MB is a pain.
I have that patience having used MobiTel in Ceylon, which is the slowest in my experience (I have gone to Dialog).
My tablet of Android 8 is manageable for me to bid and play Bridge, when I am bored.
I want to buy a new cellphone in case I drop the Nokia on the floor and break it.
All cellphones available in MobiTel are Android 8s and all of them cost over Rs. 65,000/= and over 50% this price tag is the government TAX.
So if you have a friend going to Singapore ask him to buy a good phone and come back with Coronavirus SCARE (nobody will bother to see you on your return, what a luxury!).
So my advice is, if you have a good working phone look after it and do not buy a new one because your friend's girl friend has a new one.
Hardware is the same but software one can upgrade once a year.
So thank you guys and girls developing Android Software and FREE or Fdroid will (free software initiative) will never hit the shop floor.
Even a geriatric can now use a cellphone and it is not the foray of ONLY young ones.
Think of the old guys with vision impairment and help them with voice instructions.
I am allergic to voice instructions and deactivate it by default.
Yes you can do that.
Go to hardware SETUP and go to silence mode.
The strap of the Chinese built, Smart Watch (with piece of circuit inside) is broken and I cannot wear it. I do not know its operating system and I believe if not Java it is Linux and it won't get the applications it displays installed wirelessly.
Beware and do not order smart watch by mail even it is cheap.
Nothing is cheap nowadays with superimposed TAXES.
I use it as a bluetooth device now.
Android version 4.4: KitKat (Please note that this is a reproduction with Grammerly edited)
Late-2013's KitKat release marked the end of Android's dark era, as the blacks of Gingerbread and the blues of Honeycomb finally made their way out of the operating system.
Lighter backgrounds and more neutral highlights took their places, with a transparent status bar and white icons giving the OS a more contemporary appearance.
Android 4.4 also saw the first version of "OK, Google" support — but in KitKat, the hands-free activation prompt worked only when your screen was already on and you were either at your home screen or inside the Google applications.
The release was Google's first foray into claiming a full panel of the home screen for its services, too — at least, for users of its Nexus phones and those who chose to download its first standalone launcher.
