Android 10 bug (Maybe)

[Dragonwinged]

So my LG G8 recently updated to Android 10. Kind of annoying to one day open up your phone to find the operating system has been completely redesigned.

 

One strange thing that I'm noticing is that websites and 3rd party online app distribitors whose content used to download perfectly fine now get automatically converted to .bin files. 

 

I have heard that this had been a bug with Google Chrome in earlier versions of Android, however it seems strange to reintroduce such a commonly known issue in a new Version. 

 

So it's either a returning bug, or a more conspiratorial idea, Google is trying to lock down their OS to ensure users are dependent on them for content.

 

Now for more tech savvy users, this is easy to get around. If you know what type of file it was before downloading it, simply enter the file Explorer and replace .bin with the proper extension. However I'd like to know if there's any way to fix this problem more directly, either by downloading a 3rd party download manager, or changing something in the system settings.

You should always do a factory reset after every major os update. Should fix most problems.
