Android update

[semipenguin]

Anyone else getting an SW Update?

I don't have wifi, so I can't do one right now

I installed Android 5.1.1 from Verizon on my LG G3 last night.

So Android has moved away from cute names like Ice Cream, Jelly Bean, Krispy Kreme, Laxative and just gone back to numbers?

Marshmallow is next.

Coffee enema is after that. Followed by Cream Pie & Blumpkin

Nope. Android still has names. They've always had numbers.

Nothing for my Note 4 yet.
One of the trade-offs of Android is that everyone doesn't get upgraded at the same time. (That could probably qualify as both a pro and a con.)
I wouldn't think 5.1.1 would have too much more to offer over 5.0.1 though.

Starting in 2020 they're switching to sex toys

I have a new Galaxy S6 and it updated to 5.1.1 a week or two ago.

It seems to be a little bit fresher. Some of the things have changed like cutting & pasting.

For the most part, it seems most of the same

I'm pretty sure all Android developers know the nicknames.

The big ones are:

1. Permissions aren't granted at install anymore, but when the app tries to use them, and you can veto them individually like you can on iOS. There's also a way to see which apps have which permission.

2. The "OK Google" voice command works everywhere now, and also when the display is off but the phone is charging.

3. Reduced power consumption.

Great! Now I don't have to go onto Androidforums to look it up.

My phone updated to android 8.0 (oreo) with Samsung experience 9. There's some new features with notifications, and an extra row of options on the keyboard, including gifs. Anyone else familiar with this?

Mmmmm Oreos.
