THE TOOLS AT HAND AT GOOGLE

Or should I say the tools HAVE hands at Google?!

Odd that this has popped up at this moment in time due to what I am doing? My Blogger App, which is coded by Google to work on Google's Operating System, Android, is back to playing up yet again. One of the things that I did hope would be solved upon acquiring the tablet back from PC World? Fat chance of that but then I doubted this at any rate because it also occurs on my Moto G phone.

So two smart devices of tablet and phone with one being the Advent VEGA Tegra Note 7 Tablet and the other being the Moto G smartphone and both with the exact same version of Android on them and both having the exact same issues.

Unfortunately Google cannot escape because despite this being software specific they own both forms of software with both the Blogger App and the Android Operating System. It is one or 'tother.

Oddly I havve not heard anything about this issue in the media and normally anything to do with Google being innovative, greedy and sinister or just plain incompetent the news networks are normally all over it!

At the end of the day I have two completely different devices but with the exaxt same software and both playing up in certain areas. Ergo I cannot be the only one and there must be thousands with the same issue currently?

I will do a quick search on the INternet in a moment and see, something I have not done thus far.

I also see they are still handing out billions of pounds for ever more company and this one being the company that can film Earth from a satellite to even show moving vehicles on roads. To be honest when I forst heard about this company I did think that Google would show an interest.

I should code something out of the ordinary, something that would grab news headlines as Google will come along and give me $3 Billion and I can then go and help people worthy of help!

I find it odd that they have such conflicting facts about themselves in the media that all these business people seem to have failed to pick up on?

1 - Buy lots of Companies

2 - Make Billions in advertising

3 - Announced there adverts are ... WELL SHITE basically and they did not need to tel me that as I have them on my blogs!

4 - However they are still buying companies despite their advertising being crap?!

5 - Other companies seem to get fined and into trouble for infringements that Google have made?!

Conflicting and contradictory is it not? That is how these annoucements have appeared to me and in all honesty I fond it amazing that no one has commented on this in the media.

This reminds me I have not looked at my earnings with them in awhile now, chances I am about to get the smallest measley payment when I need it most? NONE, no doubt?!

LOL.

Hmm £27.99 so no not even close, lol. Even if this figure is supposed to grow faster and faster as time goes on and the weekly visitors continue to rise! This does not include my YouTube account by the way which is probably still on zero, wait let me check?

Yup after over 43, 000 visits and 4,793 minutes watched I have made the grand total of ZERO?! LMAO! Out of 1,179 videos too.

It gets better because if you recall, unless your fairly new, I stated that their maths was way out and that they could not count? Well they have actually just admitted this themselves and have announced it and have actually GUESSED how much they have undercounted?!

Unbelievable? Well take a gander ...

WHEN TEMPERS FRAY

Well this is a first!

It is both surprising and in a way ... not!

I knew that as time progressed with the way things are that tempers in place will begin to erupt.

I have often stated this along with the fact that this is one reason that this blog exists! I stated that as time goes on any events like this one which start to happen more regularly will just show my predictions are pretty good. But on reality I am really here so that when they come up with their excuses I will be waiting with a "uh-uh-ahhh!"

What will always surprised me is where it starts to emerged from first!

Of course this is bad but the fact remains that there is slays another side to the story, do not take that to mean I say it's the suit of the referee! Yes it could merely be some hooligan who is renowned fit trouble. Out there could be other factors and when thought about going to a football match while suffering from some hardships or other was not the best idea in the world?! In which case it was irresponsible of the idiot!
Every single one of us has an R Complex to our brain. Police Officers and Doctors are not and I repeat not without one! No matter how much they attempt to label people, or more specifically patients who refuse to believe their lies and tricks, pit under the exact same pressure they would react exactly the same! No ifs about it and no buts!

The divine I have seen between totally scummy, short tempered twats that think bad behaviour is perfectly OK ... purely because they are ... DOCTORS AND POLICE OFFICERS LMAO, but when underlings and little people do it, it's not on and an offence, or illegal when nothing could be gather from the truth, is so infuriating to me that I will cane them continuously until they simply cannot take no more.

There is one simple word that does not exist in their vocabulary and if told would not compute!

Hmm in fact their are two and they both start with the letter 'H'!!!

Of your fully happy with walking around treating people like shit and think that the rules as well as etiquette fired not supply to you then trust me when I say that I fully intend to give those people a very ride awakening and a lesson in the two H's they will never forget!

Lessons are not over until they are fully learned! Dick-Wads! When I say FULLY I really do mean it literally.

I am not interested in offerings of lamb! As one guy says on American Dad. You give me ... SHODDY LAMB!!

Well shoddy mutton would be more apt! Brains of Britain they are not! In future you will learn to do all to remember this before you go marching on with your size twelve boots and pay close attention to what I'd being said to you!

In fact I could sum up using just a few words what is wrong with professionals and largely those in public service and the system!

The human race over millions of years of evolution produced auditory devices known commonly as ears! But for some reason it is rife that those that should use them have become more and more averse to do so?!
This starts at the very top and works all the way down to front line staff. Posting close attention to all the wrong people I should add which are taken the piss out of by intelligent celebrities, ask Stephen Fry what he thinks of management courses and the like.

The one thing I will never regret is having to sit through utter bullshit like that! Its nothing more than training to be deceptive and misleading. Just say it bit it is for feck sake!

This is why many authorities will just never know how much to communicate with me as I just can't stand the insincerity and attempts at deception.

When this is obvious then the tendency ... no it's definite on every situation with everyone I have dealt with is they throw loads of Post-Its at you with false labels scribbled onto them, you can tell the Doctors ones as they are indelible Lol, going one will stick?!

LMAO!!

If at first you don't succeed then try, try again ... AND EVENTFULLY I WILL SHOW YOU UP FOR THE USELESS, OVER PAID IDIOTS THAT YOU ARE!!

LOL!

Oh and if you note the really crap changing of bold and italic fonts is not need is Google and you do not even have to take my word for it because ...

1 My Blogger app on my Moto G does it as does ...

2 My Advent Tegra Note 7!!

3 It only does it when I have to delete back because it keeps typing words I never went anywhere near and then annoyingly asks me if I wanted the correct one when I highlight the wrong word?!
Now here is the thing on this!

This has been the one most in your face and evident problem on Android of late and has done this on every version from the first Jellybean version and now on KitKat! On fact my tablet came back with the original Jellybean and has since updated no less than five times?

Not only had this on your face problem never been corrected but on my tablet the habit of going nuts using the swipe feature had gotten far worse! It now decides very often that it does not want to work anymore half way through swiping!

Dick-Wads!!

Loads of Operating Systems these days and none are perfect really! Though I say that but not use Mac OS very much to be able to comment! Lol!

That may well have changed twelve months from now?!

GOBBY WITH GOOGLE

I am not sure if I posted about this and I apologise if I have.

I have just contacted The Big 'G', I think stands for Gods lol, and had a go at them. This is because I have contacted them more than half a dozen times and had no response. I contacted them because I suspected my issues may be down to them?! Now I know that they are!!

My Moto G is doing the exact same things that my nVIDIA TEGRA NOTE has been doing!

Now this could have been argued by Google that this was down to KitKat, or Android version 4.4.2, but despite both devices being KitKat the tablet did this on the versions of JellyBean! Or ICS and two versions of JellyBean.

Now the odd thing is that I read a great deal of magazines when I am about to make a purchase. Magazine are so expensive today and I remember when they reached £2.00 and I thought that was dear!! Today they are £6.00 a shot! But what do you get for the best part of £20.00 I spent?!

Well in all honesty I felt like I was lied to and in this instance it will be difficult for any of them to talk three way out of it!!

This is because I have TWO DEVICES one of which is Google's own Moto G and the issues seen to be mainly down to text based things! Or in other words the simplest and most basic things that even 8 bit oppressing systems had no trouble handling!!

But my devices are new. I am sure the phone is but the tablet has a question mark over it, down to the fourth one they handed me missing volume buttons?!

But both devices are doing the same things?!

Now here are a couple of things for many of you to think about...
1 How come that no magazines managed to have issues when claiming to fully test dozens of devices? (I have 100% fault rate and had a go at nVidia unnecessarily)

2 Considering how much noise I made on my blog about faulty used items sold as new for over inflated prices and all the bodies I contacted about it that a year later I still have another device on my home that was used and faulty?! Possibly two that were used.

3 I have had nine out of 12 items in 12 months that were purchased as NEW but were nothing of the kind. 

This does not include my tablet and another in the hands of the daughter of some friends.
I only ever count the things I am sure about and do not count the things I am not sure about.

HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KITKAT

EDIT: I just noticed that yet again a number of posts have not bloody POSTED and added to this my keywords have all gone missing too!! Google at its most incompetent best or a didgy tablet PC?! NO DIFFERENCES OCCURED AS THE THE PROBLEMS I HAVE LISTED.

Well this is strange.

I have contacted everyone there is to contact over these Tegra Note Tablet PCs. Still waiting for some replies as in all honesty I will have to change it for another tablet which I wish I did not have to do.

Oddly I managed to pick the second one up from PC World today and they did have to fix it stating DC replaced on paperwork. Told the chap I have now had four of them and a 100% failure rate. He asked me if the others were the same and I told him that three are but that mine seems to have memory issues.
After I received the device I placed it back in the box and went and had a look at what other tablets were on offer. I told him that I cannot keep having these things happen. He shook his head and agreed with me. He asked if I had the other two and I told him I only had mine but that I need to get all my files of it before I hand it in so will have to come back.

Looking at what they had to offer though I'd the same bloody story, due to the greedy reasoning behind not putting an SD Card slot in the devices the choices were limited!

There were some nice Toshiba tablets though with one at 8 inch and another at 10 inch and at least one was a Tegra 4. They seem to have a nice aluminium casing but have since read that it is plastic, though hoping this is wrong!

I also looked at some Windows tablets but I just cannot bring myself to consider one. Though if it turns out that I can get the usual windows programs to run on it and not restricted to what they want you to use on it I may consider one.

However I did see something, well two things that were ideal but bigger and far too expensive for what you get. Both were laptops but one was made by Sony and has this clever feature where the screen flips over and it becomes a tablet?!

However where this was different to ones I refused to consider is this was brilliantly don't and very stylish!! Looked like a brushed aluminium Ultrabook and when the screen flipped over to laptop mode the rear side of the bottom of the screen suddenly pulled away from me and attached itself to the hinge?! It was magnetised and half of the back of the screen was in fact the hinge?!

It was very clever and was very, very cool. But it was also a cool £999.99 too as was the HP Spectre. The former screen diameter was 14 inch white the directs was 13.3 inch. So a wee bit bigger than my 7 inch tablet!! Won't be during in my new KATA bag!

Therein lies another problem! I IFT this Kata Sling Bag because this tablet pc simply would not fit in my Lowepro sling! I thought how bloody typical it would be that whatever I get does not fit?!

Still the Toshibas were 8 inch and that will probably be OK but the other is 10 inch and that will be a step to far!

The thing is the primary use of the tablet is to be able to type out documents and posts when I am in places where there will not be a power socket in sight. There would likely be times I would use it for photos and video but rarely as I will use the Sony Cybershot Bridge camera for that, unless I am out of power? But then I have a new backup up battery pack that can store enough to charge everything I carry with me! To give you an idea my current crappy phone is 1850 mah and the back up battery pack is 12,000mah!!

I also have a foldable solar panel pack though Amazon sent me an email to say that it had been left with a neighbour! Only the number they gave me had no one living their under that name and no bloody parcel!!
Oops, so in theory I have a foldable solar panel?! Which should also reduce me electricity bill further still?!
Then there is the fact my phone very seriously needs replacing?! The Moto G is the obvious choice and great value but the price keeps jumping all over the place?! Also it has no SD Card slot!! Again!! Moto X to expensive at over double the price but dies cone in 32 GB but not waterproof like the Moto G!
Arrrgg!!!! I'm sure they all do this to drive you body insane?!

Would you could get away with is possibly a Moto G 16GB and Nexus 7 32GB and a portable wireless hard drive?! Provided you could get a couple days juice out of all three at least then you have something.
But then your buying, charging and having to carry a third device because the greedy board members think themselves clever by holding out on an sd card skit thinking you WILL NEED, OR BE FORCED, to upgrade your phone.

Of course us lower life forms are far too stupid to see what they are up to and then hold off as long as we can before being forced to, say like by using a phone that has been faulty fur two years and a smashed screen fur the past couple months because he wants to give the greedy fecks as little as he can and make them wait as long as he can?!

Lmao!

Anyway, I digress.

I got home, tried to find number 51 only to find there is no Sarah and no parcel for me, I was also in pain from the past couple of days so thought I would have a lie down and rest my legs and feet? Really was rough being it and about today and just showed that I did very little for two days helping someone very close to my home and I am fecked!!

Then while laying on the bed I saw a message flash up with the capital letters OTA and realised it looked like an update?!

I checked and sure enough the fourth update is ready for this device and it is at long last... KITKAT 4.4.2!!
It has been downloading the whole time I have been writing this while I wait for someone to knock at my door with my parcel and it is now 97% done!

So I will sign off and pray the niggles with this thing are finally gone?!

THE DUMB OPERATING SYSTEMS

I think I am going to walk away from Google's Android Operating System. It just seems to be slowly becoming a horrible place to be!

As some of you know I bought three Advent Tegra Note 7 Tablet PC Computers. One for me and two on behalf of friends as presents for their two girls. Well I already had to replace one of the two given for a new one which were given out as Christmas presents and now I have the second one in my home and I will be exchanging it when I return it tomorrow?!

Starting to wonder now when my one will give up the ghost?!

But regardless of this nor peering on my mind I am having other issues!

Google Play has gone from being interesting and exciting to browse to a pain in the arse I really am getting more and more feed up with using!!!

First of all there are an absolute myriad of shit on their and I do mean shit! I have list count of the number of things I have downloaded that do not work, nothing like their description and died not do what it says on the tin!! Then there are the fecking games that are just plain greedy and preying on that gaming urge that is a primary instinct in us all! In app purchases is what I am getting at!

That is of course after all the utter shite you click on because the picture looks cool, mainly suggesting a first person shooter with console class graphics, only to see the screenshots and think ' what the FECK is this shit, it looks like the old days of 8 BIT gaming?!'

Of course yeah that is why I searched for something with an nVidia Tegra 4 processor so that I can play 1980s games and gear up the planet with all the wasted extra power?! Lol!.

I also got a an App Shifter and that is what it is actually called, unless your looking at it on Google Play then it's called something fecking else entirely. I moved a few dozen apps including some big games. Only lately I have been clicking in things and being told it is not installed?!

This happened with an app I bought, OfficeSuite Pro, because Quick Office is now crap because Google got ahold of it and I paid a tenner fit that too!! Only I have just realised that my documents in this app are NOT BEING SAVED TO GOOGLE DRIVE?!

For the love of a fecking GOD!!

Then tonight I realised that my new game I was playing of GT RACING 2 (real racing it states) had also give missing?! I then opened App Shifter only to click on SD Card apps to see just TWO!! TWENTY TWO would be closer!!

Then there is the game itself, ever since I bought something IN-APP things went downhill... FAST!!

I ended up with a Toyota GT85 II. Only straight away I was having difficulties and found that I had to drift to stand any chance of going around a bend and stating competitive with race leaders!! I thought that maybe some upgrades would since this. This was also because other cars were rounding bends perfectly level and without drifting! I ended up maxing the upgrades to the car without realising and things remained the same. Also despite being maxed out I was being offered upgrades before each race?!

Also I was seemingly spinning out each time someone touched me which was not happening to them and added to this they were never spinning out. Then there is the old positions remain the same syndrome within the race energy your the only one ever doing any overtaking or even being overtaken?!

Another common thing is never getting higher than 8th after several attempts on one track and then getting first in the next race at the first go?!

Some tracks feels as if my tyres are manufactured using ice while others not quite so bad. Maybe cardboard, lol.

The last updated, like the other two, have made absolutely no fecking difference to Android and added to this the swipe keyboard is still substituting words whereby you got it spot on but it offers you not only the WRONG WORD but often not even one that starts with the same letter?! You know the...letter...that... you... touched... on... first... which... you... would... not... make... a... mistake with!!!

If your going to scree up the coding at least get the wetting word that starts with the correct letter for Christ sakes?!

If I was Eric Schmidt and I had some Android OS as a business solution I would be crapping my pants right about now!!

So I am getting extremely feed up with Google and Android.

Only the alternatives are crap!

Sorry Apple I know you would like many to think that your system is great but that it's not doing well because the rest of the world is voting and infringing, but no!

I simply never realised just how bland the iOS was until I had a few weeks to mess around with one. Also I hate iTunes as it is also bland and on Windows it is good awful slow! Mac OS is much better as an OS to look at and use!

Maybe Jason Bradbury was not plugging Microsoft's Surface 2 dye to sponsorship?

But then where Google and Android have a problem with being far too laid back and open Microsoft are the polar opposite and doggedly sticking to their closed system which would not be that bad if not for preventing a number of other people coding browsers for their system!

My mate had the options of IE and UC?! No Safari, Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox or any others either.

So one choice is far too bland and boring added to way over expensive in Apple.

Another is far too awkward, butt ugly and closed system with not many apps or choices with Microsoft.

Lastly you have far too many choices, too unstable, far too many so issues and lazy or incompetent coding with Google.

Now what annoys me is that any one of these could read this and realise that they could alter their system to stand head and shoulders above the other two?!

However I will wager that they won't!

Or maybe one of the many others I have been hearing about will rise like a Phoenix from the flames and keep above the other two?!

If it is the latter paragraph I got they then do not just become the fourth arsewipe in a long list of arsewipes?! If it is greedy shareholders that come along then suddenly decide that they know better than the inventors... well get them to read this oust and I will tell them to shut the feck up and go back and crawl under the rich from whence they came!

In the meantime I can only hope that things improve and I suspect now that it just might be the big 'M' as they are already working to replace the travesty that was Windows 8, with Windows 9 of whatever it ends up being called?

NOT HAD A BREAK, STILL NOT HAD KITKAT

I am afraid it's likely that only older British and Irish possibly will get the title reference here, lol.

For those that do not know it comes from an old advert for the KitKat chocolate confectionary. Some guys or women would be working hard under stress. Then the coffee or tea break would come where they would get some respite. Then one would grab a KitKat and you would hear someone say 'Have a break...' then the chocolate fingers would be snapped in two and then you would hear '... have a Kitkat.'

I am not speaking of the chocolate confectionary of course! Well not the actual chocolate confectionary but the Google Android Operating System version that was named KitKat. Whether or not money was changed hands over this and whether this is right or wing is never here not there.

Another surprise is I have not used Kitkat and this is not a review of it, unfortunately. In fact this is why it states I have not had my KitKat. However I do need to explain why I have had no break!! Lol.

Before I do that I will describe briefly my last two Android devices. Both manufactured by Motorola one I loved and was indestructable, that was until I broke it, and another that was supposed to be the most powerful smartphone on Earth, but is faulty, slow, used, secondhand and I often want to hurl at a wall!

Lol.

Now there came with one or other particular version of Android. Now I do not recall the version on the first one, the Defy, updating at all. The second one, the Atrix, updated immediately and never updated again!

I am presently using, to type out this post and most others of late, an Advent Tegra Note 7 Tablet PC. Which I bought before Christmas. It is still January and yet this device, which stated off with Jellybean I think, has now updated the times?!

Now one of the reasons I opted for this device and Android to try and continue and expand my work online was due to a big hooha over Kitkat. The owners of Kitkat, Nestle I think, were even reported to have paid money to have their chocolate paired with it. They said it was more streamlined while better and faster in every way.

I am always of the belief then when technology journalists start to make big hoohas over something new it is either revolutionary or everything that went before was actually garbage?! Now as one of the magazines I bought to read about KitKat and brought my attention to it was Android Magazine and the entire cover artwork was in the theme of the Kitkat confectionary chocolate wrapper! So yes a hoohar indeed!

As some of you know very recently I have been livid with this device and it has crashed, several spoofs do not work properly and all force close. Quite bizarrely these are also been Google's too?!

So the device updated almost immediately, well after a few hours, and I thought 'bloody hell it updated to KitKat already?!' but no. It was just on top of Christmas when it updated again. I thought 'finally I have been updated to KitKat!!' ... but no! By this time I was using the device a great deal for typing. I was also having a lot of issues too. But I could not tell with absolute certainty that it was wise now than before it updated but I would put money on it that this was the case.

Tonight I switched the tablet on and I received a message to stare that there was yet ANOTHER update available! It stated that this one was to fix stability issues among other things. When I started it it then started optimising apps, which I had never seen an update do before. This took about ten minutes too and I was interested to see if the issues stopped? I had to ask myself...

Why in the hell have there been so many updates in such a short space if time?!

If the issues I had were down to that LST update, last and so with the fecking LST replacing the word 'last' issue and deck knows what LST is?! Oh yeah so why and how the hell did that last update get released?!

So I am finally on KitKat... well, NO. I might remind you that the title states I have still had no Kitkat?!

This device was advertised by all as receiving Kitkat.

In just over a month I have received three updates and still not on KitKat when my two previous devices received one between them over three years?!

An interesting comparison, don't you think? Note I have to wonder if oddities like this have ever been reported by these technology journalists that want you to now pay a bloody small fortune and every body month for their magazines?!

And if not, THEN WHY NOT?!

LMAO!
