ChromeOS is terrible too.

Considering that Linux is so good and has the Compose key and a full compliment of AltGr, Android and ChromeOS have no excuse compared to Windows.

It's probably what ever variant of Android, or Google Security rather than a real TCL issue.

For years the External Keyboard Helper Pro was the only app I'd bought on the Playstore. Still available and still works. Works on my 4x TCL devices and Alcatel phone (also TCL).

It can be weird. My Android eink Mars originally ran BorrowBox library app. Then it didn't. No updates except BorrowBox and ChromeBrowser.

It still worked on an Alcatel phone (made by TCL) running same version of Android. The Bolinda tech people eventually decided that a component of the Chrome Browser (which they used to render) was the "wrong" version, even though the Chrome Browser was updated and the same version as the phone. The App worked except the actual ebook pages were blank. There was no possibility of the older version that had worked for over a year as it was no longer compatible with the local library.

So the Android eink gathers dust as it was bought during Covid to access the local library. It does epubs less well than Kobo Libra2 or Sage. It does Kindle and PlayBooks aps, but I have a PW3. The PlayBooks works far better on the 4x NxtPaper devices, which support Pocketbook. The Pocketbook App doesn't work.
