The Android Developers have released two unusable versions in a row, namely Kitkat and Lollipop. And they knew these releases were crap when they pushed them out on an unwitting public. This is evidenced by the fact that you can now buy devices with these OS's for as little as $20 (which is, in my opinion, still too much).
Unfortunately, I paid premium prices for both of these releases. I am currently fighting through the extended warranty period I purchased for my lolliflop device (which was a waste of money, too, since the OS itself is broken).
I have been a proponent of open source software (OSS) for 20 years and a Microsoft/Apple critic for longer. And while Google has not treated Android as true OSS, it's the closest thing out there to OSS.
However, I cannot continue to waste my time, money and effort on broken, unusable devices.
I will soon retire my broken Lolliflop device and replace it with a new phone. LG Mobile and my current carrier are now on my blacklist. I will never again grace them with my patronage for their willing participation in pushing crap out onto the public.
I will buy a device with Marshmallow (or higher, if available). I WILL NOT purchase an extended warranty. I will put the device through its paces during the buyers remorse period and if it fails I will return it for refund and leave Android for ever.
Who knows, perhaps I'll give a windows phone a shot.
Google Android has failed and broken their customer trust.
