Ah well, Google auto-updates will break your system. That is just how they do things.

I had Google Maps and Google Navigator (both working fine). Google merged the two products into one. Their new Google Maps was compiled for a newer OS than I had installed. The auto-update kicked in: Deleted Navigator, Failed to update Maps, and left me stranded with no Sat Nav. Lesson learned: always disable Google's updates!

Phones are extensions of ourselves; and allowing someone else to auto-change them is like mental torture.

I cannot remember when that was, but I do remember that the phone (until Google chopped bits off) was doing everything that my current phone does today. It might have been a BB8310.
