Less than a month ago he made its debut Android 6.0 marshmallow that visually it is no revolution, but brings a number of significant changes in the mechanisms of the system. The premiere of this system is also very important information for equipment manufacturers. In this edition of control devices has been significantly reduced, has a while to help users.
The first changes in the documentation and requirements posed by Google wrote a few days ago in the context of encryption – now the company requires that only the hardware, which meets the relevant standards of performance. In this, however, the regulations do not end there. On the contrary, also they reach the other components. For example, producers can not interfere with the way information is displayed on the used energy contained in the system settings. This allows users to carefully check whether too fast discharging a battery correspond to applications, or maybe some of the components.
This change is subtle, but very important. Not every manufacturer displays all data – for instance the HTC hardly boast the time of the display, which affects performance and makes it difficult to compare them with other devices. Now, this operation will become easier, because manufacturers need to apply these provisions. Google went even further: equips the new Android in a very energy efficient Doze mode, which stops running background apps when not using the equipment. Of course, some programs may still work out the mode and update their data in the background, this group can include also some tools provided by the hardware manufacturers.
But this is not a problem, because companies can not hide this type of application – we will find them in the settings to save energy and thanks to this we will find out which of them cause problems. Another important aspect is the power: manufacturers can not circumvent the new system permissions of the application, it can not also with their devices removed. Moreover, he holds also in charge of the preinstalled applications, so there is no way that eg. A client installed by default Facebook will immediately have conferred high privileges. This program, like those installed by users will be asked for permission to perform different actions.
The exception to this rule are replacements for standard programs, ie for example. dialer, messaging applications or operating the camera. The change is of great importance, because through it bloatware installed on new hardware with Android will become essentially completely harmless: manufacturers will still be able caves equipment pre-installed programs, but those without our authorization will not be able to do anything. This means much more control over the system, though in the longer term the ability to increase prices because the company probably a little lose on such rules.
In addition, Google took care of suitable arrangements for music playback devices in high quality – clarify the provisions of delays that may occur, as well as the required hardware. All these developments show, however, that Android 6.0 is far-reaching changes: the corporation imposes on producers ever-increasing demands, these are not unreasonable and can positively affect the comfort of users’ work. Effects we will have to wait until the first OEM devices installed marshmallow.
