> Some calls to that API on some OEMs device round alarms to the nearest minute, some to the nearest ten minutes.
WHY? What benefit does that serve?
WHY? What benefit does that serve?
Because China.
Having lived in China for a few months with an Android phone I can with absolute certainty tell you that this is needed over there. The amount of garbage apps, even from big companies like baidu is enourmous!
And without a Google playstore, or play services, or play safety thing it is an absolute wild-west of background alarms, API calls, battery draining and whatnot.
Like are apps setting alarms for every 3 seconds or something for no reason??
Not literally "alarms", like the ones that ring?
Without this restriction, how long before an app maker schedules their alarm every millisecond?
Edit: It's become the new '911'... Family Guy Joke!
