A new Bluetooth ‘engine’ with a lot of history
He I’m having trouble with my Android’s Bluetooth connection It’s almost as old as the operating system itself, and while it’s true that Google plus is improving the stability and functionality of this technology over the next few years, the truth is that its operation leaves a lot to be desired. I’m here.
So instead of continuing to work on improving the programa for several years, Google plus decided to return to the workbench. This is commonly referred to as developing a new Bluetooth “stack”..
In especial, we are talking about the operating system programa that manages all the elements necessary to allow a Bluetooth connection. Since the birth of the operating system, Android has used “steel” in its name. “Fluoride”But this year, the company made a decision It’s time to jump to the new programa ‘Forkbeards’.
Beneath this strange name – the choice has a more or less logical explanation, even if it seems not – is “Stacked Bluetooth”. It is developed by Google plus In theory, it should make Bluetooth connections more stable and consistent.
To find out where this strange name came from, we have to go back Several long ago. More precisely, 958when Harold “Bluetooth” Gormson took the place of my father king of denmark He also briefly served as King of Norway. Eleven years later, the company Ericsson He used the name “Bluetooth” to honor Harald’s name and brought to life the wireless communication technology we know and use today.
And what does that have to do with Android’s new Bluetooth “Steel”? 28 years later, son Swen Forkbeard, succeeded him as king. When, surpriseThe word “Gabeldorsche” used by Google plus is German for the class of fish. “fork beard”.
In short, that’s what Google plus wants to convey with this fancy name. “Forkfish” is the successor to the current Android Bluetooth “engine”.Similarly, Sweyn Forkbeard 986 by his father Harald Gormsonn is the origin of the Bluetooth technology name.

Unfortunately, there’s little Google plus perro do.

Android 10 is the first version of the operating system to introduce a full gesture-based navigation system.Of course he gave in problem When using these gestures, applications whose navigation format is based on a sidebar could not display these radio buttons. Swipe from the left edge of the screen toward the center — This signal was reserved for actions return.
Also, Google plus already provides APIs to aplicación developers to enable gesture-free navigation to the sidebar of their aplicaciones, and Android 11 introduces them. Option to change gesture sensitivity on the side of the screenThis makes it easier to open this type of menu in applications that don’t include options to work around restrictions introduced in Android 10.

Elevator notification management returns in Android 11. Now, in addition to the existing categories in the notification panel, there is a new section called “Conversations” where messages are displayed. Notifications from messaging application conversations.
further in this sense Google plus finally implements floating bubbles in all messaging aplicacionesThe feature was first introduced to the system in Android 10, but will be enabled by default for the first time from Android 11 API 30 system.

Possibility first Issuance of single-use permits Access the applications installed on your device to access your location, microphone, or camera. With this feature, the required permissions will be requested again the next time the aplicación is opened.
while the system “memory capacity” Introduced in Android 10, it became even more prominent, indicating that everything would become the default system in Android 11. It is to prevent access to external data. Scoped storage, by its very nature, has become one of the most controversial implementations in recent years.
