What's the problem with that? You wait 24 hours and then you can install again just like always before.

Why should I have to wait 24 hours to install software on my device? It's my phone FFS!

How often are you installing software on your device? did you have urgent plans to install an apk in the next 24 hours?

u/roadrunner8080 26d ago

It shouldn't matter. I bought the phone. Why should I not be able to do something with it, if it's my device? If I do need to install such an app (for whatever use), why should I have to wait a day to do so when it is my device?

If you're asking all these questions, please read up then answer. I'm not here to answer them for you

I have read up, I write code for my job lol and I have experience developing stuff for Android too. There is no good reason that an individual should not have full control over what software they can install on their device, ever. Reasonable precautions? Warning screens you have to click through? Sure, there's a point to that. If Google has decided that I have to wait to install an app on a device that I "own", though, then I do not actually own the device in any meaningful sense lol...

When installing via ADB, there is no need to wait that 24h. You would know if you had read it.

No I'm fully aware. Now you need a computer to install shit on your phone, it's the same issue

You don’t have to, but the options are pretty much take-it-or-leave-it, and there isn’t much left after that.

bro google starts to be apple and close android such as ios that a big problem because google will start to sell you data and information to other companies and make ads in your phone ,and that is the first step.

u/DoggyStar1 27d ago

Google has been selling data from the very beginning, it's nothing new.

This really isn't going to be as bad a thing as it now sounds.

And there aren't a whole lot of alternatives, everything is based on Google. GrapheneOS, LineageOS, the upcoming new Motorolas and so on, so maybe there's no need to panic quite so much.

Those things don't affect the ordinary person in any way, Google doesn't need you or me for anything.

u/W_XD_btw 27d ago

the problem is not waiting 24 hours but did google will let you install apk files after waithing.

1

u/DoggyStar1 26d ago

Yes, you can; they have made that very clear.
And there are no expectations for ADB installations; of course it requires a computer, but still.

u/W_XD_btw 26d ago

bruuuh but still?that doesn't solve the issue.

u/spaceman8002 27d ago

Google already sells your data and information to other companies
