MODERATORS
SD is fine, has always been fine. But people never replace them as often as they should. That's why they started trying to keep people from putting apps on them. They're pushing to make the cards to go away because it saves them from support calls and makes the phones appear to degrade slower.
could you just have a warning to the user that it appears that their SD card is slow? Feels like that should be doable. We used to get warnings when we'd plug in a USB2.0 device into a USB1.0 port on windows
Google never cared enough.
This has been an issue since at least Android 4, granted some SD cards are terrible at random IO.
Oh google cared. They had interviews where they assured the interviewers that modern phones had plenty of space on board, and they didn't need sd cards any more. And followed up with comments about os issues.
Bottom line the decision makers at google are out of touch with reality. Much like their stances on ensuring their apps will work if their is no internet. They live in a world that is always full 5g connected, so obviously everyone does. Trying to use their music apps after "downloading" the music makes me very upset.
Why whats the experience like I use Ytdlnis lol and a local music player
I think we'd all prefer that. Seems like they could have done something of the sort.
