You can't disable Amber Alerts in Canada. Canadian government mandated that. That option is only available in the USA. They should grey out that in Canadian phones but that's too hard to do and then would not work if the phone ever went to the USA.NikolaZrinski wrote: ↑ I bought the G Fast weeks ago.
It is good for the price.
One thing that I find confusing is that in the phone settings I turned off AMBER ALERTS
but the alerts still came through and my phone made that god-awful noise.
at costco's warehouse, the g fast was at $199 - $50 and the g power was at $249 - $50 in sep/octSWstriker17 wrote: ↑where?
Honestly, even that isn't much of a big deal these days. Android itself has become almost completely decoupled from the 'update' cycle. Project mainline means you get critical updates anyways. All of the core apps are now updated via the Play Store. It's mostly a non-issue, unless a critical kernel-level security vulnerability is uncovered at some indeterminate point in the future.
Simple. The android ecosystem is built terribly, including the OS and apps. Reminds me of the PC days when RAM started to become much cheaper and Windows and applications started consuming heaps of RAM. I’m certain the majority of programmers aren’t taught to build slim, and of course releasing quickly is of higher priority vs. being bug free and efficient.redflagdealsguy wrote: ↑
Anything less than 2GB and the Android device may randomly crash, and I don't fully understand why.
The government mandated that alerts must be pushed out, not that you have to receive it. Turn off mobile data or switch to 2g/3g instead of 4g/LTE and no alerts!
