problems with andriod 5 list

jamesdixn1

my tablet downloaded Android 5 about 3 months ago and is now running Android 5.0 2 .

I am dreading Verizon forcing me to put 5 on my phone and I want to do anything I possibly can to avoid that.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid it?

also I would like to begin a list of everything that's wrong with Android 5.

my first and most obvious immediate complaint was that it eliminates all of your photographs and videos on your phone and upload them to Google+ automatically so that you will be dependent on Google in the future and not move to another and much better operating system.

you can still find your photos and videos on Google+ but they are not organized. it's a disaster compared to having the gallery.

an even bigger problem is that it allows apps to turn on data. without your permission and it allows apps to switch from wifi to mobile data without your permission.

This makes Verizon more money. in other countries you are allowed to choose your operating system and the mobile phone company cannot force you to upload their new operating system that makes them more money and screws up your phone. this is just the result of corruption in the American political system.

There must be a way to prevent this upload. I talked to Verizon and they said I could just keep saying no to the upload but it will start happening every 20 minutes and eventually verizon will just force its without asking.

What tablet is it? And why did you post this in the G2 section?

Because I have a G2 . my tablet being destroyed by 5.0 is not such a big deal but my g2 being destroyed by 5 is a very very big deal that I want to avoid at all costs.

this update is not for the consumer and it is a huge update. the only purpose of the update is for Google and Verizon to make more money by making the phone a much less desirable device to use

5.0 on your tablet and 5.0.2 on a G2 is two completely separate things. If you don't want lollipop I suggest you get a phone that will never get lollipop

Aparently its even worse on the g2 than on my. nexus 7 tablet. I paid cash for my phone. This phone is private property.Verizon forcing this update is Verizon vandalizing my private property. The fcc anf the ftc should not allow this but they had been bribed to allow it.

thanks for the advice but I'm not going to use an old phone for the rest of my life. They dont have enouph memory and they just don't work properly with new apps for a number of reasons.

in many ways the old phones were better because the operating system was better. as time goes on an Android becomes more ubiquitous they modify it in order to make a few more pennies per phone. the modifications are not for the customers and make the phone much less desirable.
