Myths and facts about Android: does everything they say is real? - Tech & Net

Urban legends involve all parts of our daily lives, some horror and other simple common sense that are passed from one person to another. The Android operating system has also become a victim of these stories, and many of them do not have any kind of truth. Let us know some rumors and trivia about the little robot Google?

Android is devoted to the devil!

This story became widespread when some users have found that to get into the smartphone settings and click several times to find out what your version, appeared the image of a little robot next to a “zombie cookie” to. To create stories in people’s minds was a leap. What no one knew is that this is actually an easter egg (secret / surprise) present on all Android devices from version 2.3 operating. “The art was placed there to represent a mixture of modernity, the little robot, and something like an ancient magic that would create a crowd of zombies,” said Jack Larson, the artist creator of the design. Therefore, we can continue smoothly using Android devices without fear that our soul is at stake.

Android Phones catch more than the competition

This is another story that appeared without people to know the real reason. The Android system was to always be accessible to all, for this plan, he should adapt to various types of equipment and different brands. The problem created by this decision is that Google had no control of the apparatus used by brands and many of these devices had lower settings, making the operation was hampered. The big change came with the arrival of increasingly modern smartphones and reducing the cost of producing them, giving the chance that all people could have cell quality. There was something similar to the relationship of the quality of the touchscreen Android handsets and competition, and were almost the same reasons as the previous problem. Devices with different technology and lower prices would not have the same advantages, but it is a thing of the past and the little robot does not have anything to lose anyone.

There are no quality apps

The Android OS is opensource , so anyone can develop applications for it, but this does not mean low quality. At first, like any other brand, finding safe and quality for developing apps sources was a struggle, and most of the applications that were launched in the play were adaptations of competition. Time passed, with the power of Google and largest public consumer brand, competition for developing virtual tools became increasingly fierce day. This growth in consumption meant that applications were better produced and updates masted increasingly better the needs of people. This story that applications are not good is thing of the past, since besides the quality, the play has much of its offered products for free.

Android is complicated

Android Logo The last of the stories is that Android is complicated. Many say that competition is most elemental and the Operating System from Google is tough learning, which goes far from the truth. Apart out of the box ready to use without the need for updates or connections to a server, the features of the handset are rather intuitive and can be learned and used by anyone. Therefore, there is nothing complicated in the use of Android, it’s just a matter of adapting each of the most widely used worldwide operating system.

These are some of the many stories about the little robot ever created Google. You already know some of them or heard something out there? Know any stories about Android that do not list? Leave your suggestion in the comments or opinions on the subject.
