Android Nougat vs Android 6.0 Marshmallow Walkthrough: What’s New
Different Wallpaper for Lockscreen & Homescreen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With stock Android we only get one choice for the wallpaper on our smartphone. Whatever image selected will be on both the homescreen, and the lockscreen. Well, unless you're on Android 7.0 or newer. Google now allows a different photo for the homescreen and lockscreen, if you'd like. This is a feature we've seen on Samsung and LG phones for years, and now all Android devices have it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Not really anything innovative there that hasn’t already been covered by other OS’s and products in existence elsewhere.
I think Google are running out of ideas and just simply moving the UI around mostly to try and ‘wow’ people. Perhaps they should spend time sorting out their app store to better suit tablets and large screens rather than just pumping out new android versions for the sake of it.

Um…. what do you think split screen and improved multi-tasking is for.. tablets. It makes the experience so much better. I’m using Android N on the Pixel C and it’s actually very impressive. And if you saw other coverage, the multi-window mode is far more advanced than Samsung’s, and others.

Right? I’m looking forward to be able to run Rocket Player or Pandora alongside Google Maps in my car.

Smartphone OS changes come subtly. Just jump back two versions and you’ll notice them clear as day.

Personally, the best part of Android N (and flying under the radar) is that they are stopping video, picture, and network push ad notifications. This means we’ll no longer have worry about those annoying pop-up adware features from mysterious apps like Flash Keyboard. Google getting that weak sauce out of here.

I tried android 6 and didn’t like it…I went back to android 5. If android 7 is like android 6, then I wi stay on andróid 5. Android 6 doesn’t let you move apps to the sd card…android 5 does.

Android 6 and 7, if not under the storage settings, still allows you to actually adopt the SD card as if it were internal. I’ve got a 200gb SanDisk micros adopted uind add commands via pc. It’s simple and doesn’t require root. A little research and you’d have found that out pretty quickly as a how to was released the day Marshmallow was pushed to Samsung phones.

Bruce Wayne, I’m confused! :-( I’m running Android 6 (Marshmallow) on LG Stylo 2 and it DOESN’T allow the SD Card as internal storage. I’ve just been on the phone with LG who had to explain to me why I had the option with my previous Stylo (Android 5) and not this one. I’m livid about that because I have a huge card and can’t use it for apps, only photos/media. What am I missing? Please tell me how it’s done. Thanks :-)

Enable the SD card as adoptable storage when you first put it in. This will format (erase the card) but combine it with the internal storage so it all acts as one storage device, not two. If that makes sense.

Android N Data Saver, 6/20: “[…] we want it towards the end of the month, and has auto-on options as well. Say around the 34-35th of each month if user are getting close to running out of data.”
What kind of calendar are you using? Somebody with the technology capable of reaching a planet (or alternate universe) with 35 days each month probably isn’t worried about maxing their data plan out.

Android 6.0 lets you move your apps to SD card. Go to apps-open app-click app memory and change storage

I agree with Jordan N., getting rid of push ads is more important than all the other “improvements” combined.

I hope that backround upgrade will respect data usage rules and maybe only download on wifi.
Pointless putting in the changes to minimise other apps background usage and then adding a feature that will automatically download a 2GB or more image in the background while roaming.

“34th or 35th of each month”… Is that an intentional joke?

My favorite ones are the GIF keyboard support & the finger gestures, with all these additions it’s getting less necessary to rely on 3rd party apps. Gotta love the Droid

I do not like the Nougat. It has changed everything in my Marshmallow I liked. I can’t arrange my favorites in my phone list. It used to be squares next to each other, now it is a long list that I hate. Also, my camera is different. I liked how it used to be with the bars at the bottom I could slide, now It is more inconvenient to use!! Boo!!! There are a few other details that I do not like. I can’t list all of them here. Wish I could go back to my Marshmallow and get rid of Nougat!!!

Nothing covered here relates to what I need to use. Functionality of the music and video players wouldn’t have hurt. The Tab A that I have can only play one video at a time where on my S5 I can Auto Play all the files in an album. Both are running Android 6.0.1 Might reject the update as it’s on my partners S7 and we didn’t like the change when that updated a few months ago.
