What is this "necular" of which you speak?

If you want to know whether anyone is "using malware" you'll have to give us details. If you want assistance in attacking someone else's device then asking for that would put you in violation of forum rules.

Thank you Hadron. I thought that I was going to have to spend an age getting it all back where I wanted it. A nice surprise

So I convinced my wife to install the mm guardian child app on her phone. I installed the child app on my phone too. So, I can see her location and vice versa but only the location when I ask vs a constant live update of location which drains a battery.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11.0, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.


LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.


All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Anyone else seeing a constant crash of the Sirius app after upgrading to 11? Mine drops out to the home screen every few minutes.

Click to expand...

My Sirius app stops playing after a few minutes after updating to Android 11. This app would at times stop playing and stating that it was looking for a network before updating to 11. I think it has to do with Sirius. or the app not working well. I never have this problem using a computer and streaming.

New battery or new phone....
You make the choice

Oh dear! We got a new Kia Niro HPEV yesterday and that too uses Android auto. But I have linked my phone to it via bluetooth, at least I think I have? It showed up all of my contacts and calls anyway. I didn't try to make a call though?

It does seems quite strange that it's OK to connect for calls by bluetooth but not much else?

Despite Google mandating that all phones launched on Android 11 must support the A/B partition for Seamless Updating, the Galaxy S21 series of devices will not be featuring this, IMHO, useful feature. See...

https://9to5google.com/2021/01/24/s...till-lacks-androids-seamless-updates-feature/

In a nutshell, Seamless Updates allowed the latest firmware update to be downloaded in a separate partition whilst the user carried on until the phone was ready to update by rebooting using the new firmware's partition instead of the previous partition. It makes updating very clean, simple and easy. OnePlus for instance, have been using it for a number of years.

Google threatened last year that new Android 11 phones, onwards, that did not support A/B partitioning could not be updated in future.

However, Google has back pedalled on this demand and the Galaxy S21 series of phones will continue to feature the usual system update.

For more information on Seamless Updates, Project Treble and A/B partitions, see the explanation from xda developers...

Also, a simplified explanation from Computerworld...

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure.

Was this happening on the home screen or at the multitasking screen, where you can switch between your recent applications? The multitasking screen will suggest frequently-used apps at the bottom of the screen and I wonder if that might be what you're seeing.
