    Software update after new malware

    I have a Samsung S10. It's loaded with bloatware. It's my last Android phone with bloatware. I'm thinking about getting a Pixel 6. I know that manufacturers of bloatware Androids take months to send out software updates. How quickly does Android send out updates to Pixels if there's new malware?

    Bloatware on Android

    Is bloatware considered an app? I have a LG V20 that's acting more like a dumbphone than a smartphone! I'm in the market for a new smartphone. Does disabled bloatware take up space on RAM? I don't want to root the phone. That probably voids the warranty, doesn't it? I can use developer mode...

    Questions about Android Kotlin

    I'd like to learn Kotlin. I've watched YouTube videos about Android Kotlin. I assume that there's more source code with an Android Kotlin app than there is for a Kotlin app. Because the Android app has scrolling & swiping & tapping & stuff which Kotlin doesn't need. Unless I want to create a...

    Questions about rooting

    I know that Android is based on Linux. If one roots a tablet to install Linux & then later wants to reinstall Android, is it possible? Can a tablet be unrooted? Is it possible to have BOTH Linux & Android on the same tablet & dual-boot? A tablet has, say, 64 GB of RAM. I'm confused. Desktop...

    How much space is allocated to OS?

    I just recently bought a V20. About 1/4 of the 64 GB is used up by Android. Will Android continue to expand as I add apps & download updates & store pictures, etc? Will eventually most of the 64 GB be occupied by Android? Have the powers-that-be set a limit to how far Android will expand? I...

    Data rate for HD video

    I have a G3 & the contract has expired. I want to get a V20 & take video. I know that the data used depends on the resolution. Do you know approximately how many megabytes or gigabytes are need for a 1 minute video on a V20? The answer will depend on how big an SD card I'll need to buy.

    Help What comes after Android Z?

    Android M is about to come out. So, Android is halfway thru the alphabet. What comes after Android Z? Will it be Android AA, then Android AB, AC...AZ? Then BA, BB, BC...BZ? . . . Then ZA, ZB, ZC...ZZ(snore!)? I was thinking about it the other day. I was just wondering what the powers-that-be at...

    Help Android equivalence to Find My iPhone

    I want to get a tablet. I can't decide between a tablet or an iPad. I have read on the 'net that an Android phone/tablet cannot be tracked after a factory reset. But an iPad will survive a factory reset. I've also read that if an Android phone or tablet is just turned off, the owner can't track...
