So I flashed Android L couple of weeks ago, I have one word to describe it: crashfest. Heck Apple's iOS 8 Beta is even more stable than Android L.
Here's my complaints listed below:- 50% of the apps (including the game I am currently working on) can't even run more than 0.1 millimeter.
- This massive battery drain I have never met before is killing my awesome Nexus 5!! (Imagine your phone can only stay around 5 hours while leaving it idle…T_T)
- An annoying bug when reopening an running app (Chrome or YouTube) ends up with blank screen, you have no choice to force quit the app and restart it.
- Dropped phone calls or missed text message? Check!
- I am using T-Mobile 4G LTE unlimited (truly unlimited where you can use 50GB a month) data and speedtest checked that it's running from 10Mbps up to 60Mbps. Android L somehow slowed down my downloading rate compared to Android Kit-Kat 4.4.4
I'd rather just keep using 20 than work on a beta before it's finished. By the time it's complete I would just see if anything is wrong and then update the target API for your app when it's ready.
Thanks for testing it out though I didn't know anything about it yet but I'm glad I didn't try that myself.I don't think you understand the concept of a beta release.
I understand the concept of betas. It's a preview, so there's high amount of unstability compared to current versions. My bad.
No, see, you actually don't understand beta releases. They are not a "preview." they are a testing version. You release a beta version because you know there are bugs,and you want a wide testing base to find and catalogue them so they can be fixed.
By having bugs found in it and confirmed by multiple users, the L beta is in fact fulfilling its purpose. In a software testing sense, this beta is proceeding well.I see, now I just learned something. Also, next time when I post I need to be careful not to jump right into statement from assumptions.
