can be called Android open platform. This does not apply if the manufacturer chooses, or even be forced to use solutions from Google. That’s what this company is up within your store Google Play ceases to be fun, and it is difficult to call it something, which is within the limits of common sense. Corporations have begun to disturb even the applications that their names use the word Android, the operating system name. Why? It is no longer a mystery.
The case accurately describes Rob Jackson on the pages of the site Phandroid. It concerns the popular Android Forums international forum that brings together users of Android phones and tablets that benefit from it as well as people involved in modifying the software. This forum has in store play its official application to facilitate its use. Unfortunately, in recent days, administrators received a notice from Google, according to which they have two weeks to improve a serious breach of the rules. Otherwise, the application will be removed from the store. What is it? About the name. Using the word Android in such a context is not allowed because it is not permitted to use the brand that could artificially influence the popularity of the application.
Google for example is given other names: “Android MediaPlayer” is the name of an invalid. Instead, the application should be called “MediaPlayer for Android”, which should clearly suggest that it is designed for this system. The problem is that the proper name of that forum a bit preclude the formation of a different version, because they sound really awful, and in addition cause the same problems such .: “Forums for Android” (contrary to the name, and making it difficult to find), “Android Forums for Android” (real monster). The problem is even greater because the forum there for over seven years and has really established a name that can not be changed. A similar situation applies to many other sites on Android from all over the world. Currently, their existence in the store play is questionable, salvation can only change the name to something that would be different from the name of the service.
The author notes informs about another case. Some time ago, the store has been removed application “Android News by Phandroid,” which as the name suggests, forwarded users to news from the world of mobile robotic. It was without warning banned for breaking the rules. When you try to contact the response was non-committal decision is final, the application does not return to the store. Zero information about the problem. It turned out that even if the problem was the name. The change allowed the re-placement of the application in the store. Currently Google is not blocking these types of programs at once inform what the problem is and give you the time … but the thing is downright funny, the more that the corporation is unable to cope with real problems, ie. Applications deceiving users and creators zasypującymi shop-spam applications. Let’s clear Google Play is one big dustbin and cleaning are not made where necessary.
You can see it even when blocked applications Disconnect. This free program is designed to protect users from spying from advertising networks, and also, by the way, shield the them from malware attacks, which are increasingly using advertising as a “medium” to carry out the infection. Google has treated this application as ad blocker and without any warning removed from the store, even though the technical side of it meets all the requirements of developers for Android. It is worth remembering that some of the steps Google is not only due to the really strange tendencies of the company. Recently we reported that Google Play once again removed Grooveshark app. This action probably took place at the request of the American RIAA organization dealing with the defense of the rights of artists creating music. The thing is that this blockade has blocked access to services for all users, even those who have used it in a completely legal. Google the problem is not taken over, bowed to the demands and the application removed.
So you can see that on the one hand, it introduces its own agenda like a sentinel of Texas, on the other hand, however, does not have complete control over the shop and still, or rather still is dependent on institutions and government organizations. It is certain that those operations do not have an ounce of password “do not be evil”, which the corporation is always advertised. On the contrary, using Google’s services are becoming more and more restricted and forced to use “the only legitimate solutions.”
