So, it seems that the affection absolutely was alive at some point afore a consecutive bug brought it to a halt. Further, the aboriginal column said that the button should assignment for non-Google accessories (like Android One phones) with the able accomplishing — there’s no acumen that this shouldn’t still be accurate if/when it starts alive afresh abutting year.
