We have here a few new features of latest Android version, Android M that could make you feel happy.
In May, Google unveiled Android M, the new version of its operating system Android Lollipop will succeed in a few months. We have already mentioned some of the main innovations that will bring the new operating system from Google, such as support to OS-level fingerprint scanners, the Android payment system Pay or the Doze mode will help save the battery when the phone is idle.
But beyond what is described in broad terms, Google has made (or is in the process of doing so) a lot of small innovations which could significantly improve the user experience.
Auto backup for applications
The idea of this new feature is that if for example you give your phone to its factory condition or if you switch smartphones, it is quite possible that you lose Apps data, eg, preferences.
But thanks to this feature will be available on Android M, developers can make kinds (without much taking the head) that your application data is stored on your Google Drive (without reducing your quota), and when you reinstall application (on a new mobile or the same after resetting to factory condition), you will find your application data (and therefore your old settings).
Of course, other solutions exist for persisting application data. But this involves the use of identifiers and a while that with this Android feature, your apps data will be linked to your Google account, the one you use on your smartphone.
So the creator of the application no longer requires login to your apps and data are retained if you change phones or when resetting the mobile.
"When you turn on an Android device, the operating system is checked to make sure it is safe to use. This means that the running code on your device from a trusted source and has not been altered or corrupted " , reads a Google support page. In fact, there are three types of notifications:
# A yellow triangle if the OS is not the one that was preinstalled by the manufacturer on the mobile
# An orange triangle if the bootloader is unlocked
# A red triangle if Google believes that the current system is not secure
One of the things that annoy me sometimes about Android is that the home screen is stuck in portrait mode. But why would anyone want a landscape mode for a smartphone home screen?
Imagine using a landscape mode application on the mobile. If you need to do something on the home screen (for example, see the weather), you must return your smartphone because the home screen can be displayed vertically. Then when you're done, you should reposition your mobile horizontally to continue what you were doing on the app.
On the preview of Android M, it is possible to allow the rotation (in landscape mode) of the home screen. It is very popular.
Android Lollipop has made a lot of news on the aesthetic level. But one of the features that I hate about the latest version of Google's OS, it is the "head-up" notifications such as this, which interrupts the user's activity.
On the preview of Android M, there is an option to disable them. The only problem (or not) is that it will take off for each application.

The late intrusive notifications
