Android 6 and Aquamail

[Kostya Vasilyev]

I have a collection of screenshots with this bug in the FAQ -- and it's not just email apps. Those are from the 5.0-5.1 days.

This whole thing stinks -- doze mode, mobile radio bug (fixed or not), manufacturers making changes to alarm scheduling (hello Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo).

But oh, we have such pretty animations now.

From the looks of it, I should have stayed back on iOS. Thinking Android gives me freedom was the biggest mistake I made moving from iOS....I'll have to wait until I finish my contract to move back to iOS...

Personally, I bought an iPhone about a year ago and finally (last week) was able to give it away.

Only used it for less than a month.

Had high hopes too, but it turned out to be

- buggier and slower than Android phones

- too limited even with basic things (i.e. not possible to set a low alarm volume and high ringer volume)

- too annoying at times (why is there an Apple Watch icon on my home screen, I don't need it and not going to buy one)

FWIW, YMMV, etc.

Just a question regarding the exclude from optimizations option in the synchronization settings.
Where can one disable it? Because after activating it, I don't see the option in the settins anymore
AND AquaMail was not set to ignore battery optimizations in the corresponding system settings.
Is there another setting somwhere?

[andreas.allacher]

Ok. Strange I did a phone reboot and the app was in optimize and now once I removed it, I have the option to readd it in synchronization settings.

@Kostya,

Buggier - I'm not sure if iOS is buggier than Android given the current rate at which Google has been throwing out crap updates ever since 4.4.X. At least, we can be sure the native iOS apps do work well while native Google apps are a different story.

Slower - It's just that iOS has slower animation scale making it feel slower than Android besides iOS is still running on 2011 Android hardware per se yet it can easily challenge the self proclaimed uber-Android devices to date.

Limited - Yes, this I give you.

Annoying - Yes, but doesn't Android also come with its idiosyncrasies?

Anyway, the debate between Android and iOS is never ending...but I still Android has a long way to go to reach the levels of iOS. And I so wish they didn't implement the stupid doze feature....Hell, what was wrong with Kitkat? It was the best update from Android to date and everything since has been downhill.

Re: Hell, what was wrong with Kitkat?

I can think of a few things.
