    Android Nougat 7.0

    Erm.. Now the red mist has cleared and I'm thinking straight let me try that again.

    So has anyone found anything good this this ******* update at all? I'm totally wazzed off with it. So much stuff that worked well has just gone.

    Battery saver option is pants with no extreme saver anymore. Well there is but it's a pain in the ass.
    Constant messages about apps need putting to sleep.
    No time to charge on lock screen. Well it does seem to appear but either with a massive delay or not at all.
    Delay between phone ringing and caller info coming
    Brightness slider on pull down gone (actually fixed that one now)
    It's messed about with the look of my contacts
    Pain in ass to pick secondary numbers for contacts.
    Some games got borked and are slowly being fixed.

    The longer I've got it the more I notice stuff as has gone or take longer to carry out.

    I'm yet to find one good thing about it that's an improvement. I've read through a number of the 'Things you can do in Marshmallow Nougat blogs and most of them are utterly useless.

    Is it just me or does anyone else have any opinions on the update?

            You factored in screen replacements?

              I stand corrected. I just replaced my phone which was 3 years old and on Lollipop. Nougat is way better.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Never needed one and that includes the family - just put on a decent screen protector and its good to go...

                In face the only screen anyone has ever broken in this family was a nexus....

                  Thought you might say that. Not the experience we have in my house with the two lads and looking at everyone on the tram on the way in though

                  But anyway, back on topic or I'll have to start issuing infractions....
