Flawed behaviour Android should always show the verbose reason for the failure of an APK installation instead of “App not installed”.

“App not installed” does not help anyone and solves zero issues.

Android should show the exact reason for the failure of an APK installation, in order to facilitate troubleshooting.

That too, but submenus are also non-intrusive to minimalist users, and everyone would agree that showing a reason for why an installation has failed is certainlly more useful than just showing “Installation failed”.

Submenus are quicklier accessible to power users than command line, while non-intrusive to rookie users.

Both options should exist.

About this sub

What used to be a rarity in the golden age, has grown into a serious dread of users.

Useful features have been removed from newer versions of software (e.g. browsers, operating systems, websites) or successors of electronic devices such as mobile phones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S6)?

A highly demanded feature of a product, software, etc. has still not been implemented?

There is a behavioural change in a newer version (e g. Firefox MozLZ4 instead of plain text) that just makes things worse?

Don't you despise the removal of good and useful features?

We know that ugly feeling too well.

Share your grievances here. Get it off your chest!

Including:

Behavioural changes
Useful features removed a long time ago (e.g. replaceable batteries in mobile phones)
Microfrustrations: Repetitive subconsciously annoying behaviours such as these.
Shallow marketing (frankly stupid) excuses for removing functionality, such as “Courage”.

Tips:

Unvisited links appear in green, visited links appear as grey.
Also share features you think the entity should have implemented a long time ago already (e.g. water resistance on the iPhone 6s.)
You may share past bad experiences you had because of removed or missing features (e.g. in 2014, you could not record an important event in 2160p, because your iPhone 6 could only record in 1080p).
