in Order to differentiate the Galaxy Note 7 dangerous of the Galaxy Note 7s-certified, non-explosive, Samsung has put in place several elements, including a battery indicator… green. If it violates the guidelines imposed by Google, it is in all knowledge of cause and with the agreement of the latter.
times are tough for Samsung which is facing one of the biggest controversies in the history of telephony from the'antennagate Apple. The manufacturer has, however, shown to be reactive on three points : secure phones dangerous with an update impeding the autonomy and therefore the risk of overheating, recall and exchange all the defective units and, finally, mean the difference of model in order to reassure buyers. This includes a software indicator different battery, green in colour, which, as noted by Ars Technica, goes against the rules of compatibility imposed by Google for the latest versions of Android.
A status bar dynamic
In fact, for some time, the status bar of Android has become dynamic and is now used as a continuity to the bottom of the open application. On the Google Play Store or Hangouts for example, the status bar becomes green, and Google requires manufacturers to use only white icons to allow readability in all circumstances. It is clearly stated that “ Android devices MUST use white for the icons in the status bar (such as signal strength or battery level) “.
A derogation outstanding
Hiroshi Lockheimer, a vice president at Google in charge of Android, Chrome OS and the Play Store, however, has contacted Ars Technica to confirm that Samsung is not in violation. In fact, the Korean giant has been working hand in hand with the firm of Mountain View in order to achieve this. Because of the extraordinary circumstances of the event, Google has agreed to derogate from the rule, ensuring that the icon is surrounded by white to ensure maximum visibility in all conditions. Samsung didn’t have to fear to get block elements to update by Google due to violation of the rules of compatibility.
