lenovo yoga book yb1-x90f here. still used almost daily. still love it.

like many others, i've had issues with the play store updates and general installation of apps (and facebook app usage - it would crash upon opening). there are many posts on both subjects. well, about a week or so ago, on a whim or maybe accidentally, i tried to install updates without the one tried-and-true method i know about, which is to enable 'battery saving mode' prior to hitting that update button... and it worked... and it's been working fine since (without battery saving mode enabled). has something changed? then yesterday, on my notification shade, i received a message about a facebook post?!?! how, i thought, as facebook doesn't work on the device (it's chipset no longer being supported by facebook, ages ago). so i tried launching the facebook app... lo and behold... it works. again, what gives? should i expect a *gasp* android os update next? yeah... no. lol.

thoughts, comments, explanations?

regards.

p.s. if the topic(s) has been posted and discussed already, i offer my apologies for double posting.
