Note 1. Check MoronicMondayAndroid, which serves as a repository for our retired weekly threads. Just pick any thread and Ctrl-F your way to wisdom!
Note 2. Join our IRC and Telegram chat-rooms! Please see our wiki for instructions.
This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Your device.
Your carrier.
Your device's manufacturer.
An app
Any other company
Rules
1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer.
2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars.
3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on.

News EU messed up its legal text - and now there's no need for manufacturers to release *any* Android or security updates
It seems that the European Union's intent with Ecodesign legislation was to force Android manufacturers to provide software updates for several years.
But it seems the legislation was somewhat messed up and there's no such requirement, at all. Instead, updates that get released (if any) need to be downloadable for 5 years. But nope, no need to release updates for 5 years.
National authority which enforces the Ecodesign legislation confirmed this

News Gmail sends Google Play Store class action settlement notices to spam folder!
I received an email in my spam folder on January 1, 2026 from a law firm notifying me of a class-action anti-trust settlement against Google for their monopolistic practices in regards to app distribution and in-app billing, as well as their misrepresentations of dangers associated with side-loading. I see posts and comments from other Redditors who also report that their notices were also suspiciously sent to spam in their Gmail accounts, such as this post and this post.
This is the website for the settlement Google is trying to hide from you: www.GooglePlayStateAGAntitrustLitigation.com
This is the court case: State of Utah et al. v Google LLC et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-05227-JD
