I have the opposite problem, my Android stopped getting updates 2 years ago.
Meanwhile my iPad 2 is still getting the latest iOS version multiple times each year...
I've had the complete opposite experience with Android phones which is why I probably plan to stick with an iPhone when I upgrade my 4S within the next few weeks. I know people who have Android phones who are waiting to upgrade to Lollipop.
What carrier/phone do you have?
How can something like that make you batty? For sure Ubuntu phone will never invite you to upgrade ...
I guess he meant that once an OS update is downloaded, it cannot be swept right and forgotten, but it stays in notifications forever. I have one Moto G I use as a bike navigation, don't plan to ever update it to Lollipop as I run only OsmAnd on it and it always insists on getting upgraded to 5.0.x.
For example when they force you an update that doesn't work on given device.
Really? That's a problem? On Android?
Free updates aren't usually a bad thing.
On a moderately specced phone they can be. Plus maps just got less and less usable in my opinion. The map gained more screen space but got unusably slow, and no idea how to access features that I previously used (buttons for zoom in and out for example. Pinch zoom when driving is dangerous).
How I wished I could have that problem.
Yes, the original version of Google maps was good, then they kept upgrading it until it became unusable (it was incredibly slow on my phone). I managed to downgrade it, but now the local bus app that uses maps doesn't work.
