The hardware fuse samsung put in that flips when you try to change roms and can never be replaced. Wtf kinda world are we living in :/.
The bloatware. And custom Roms being dead for all except Pixel
In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.
Between that and the godawful notification system, I feel like iPhone practically requires the Apple Watch.
I do really like how well the Apple Watch works with the iPhone, but I do kinda wish Apple would just steal notifications, date+time in the drop down, and back gestures from both sides of the screen from Android.
The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.
I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?
At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.
Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?
It’s awkwardly tall.
S23 ultra.
- Finderpint sensors still suck. Get face ID on these please
- Why does the device control button live on the left when swiping down the first time, but on the right on the second swipe? Put them on the same side for the love of god.
Software updates. They are disguised as security and feature updates while slowing down your phone to make you buy the newer versions.
Still looking for a keyboard that only suggests actual words
How difficult it is to remove Google’s bloatware.
I know my beloved flip 4 will eventually develop a fault. I had it a month before the initial release. I love it and I don’t like the new design of bigger front screen. So one day I’ll be forced to upgrade.
The entire point of the mini screen is to minimise the contact with the phone, not to just replace it on a half screen.
Under screen fingerprint reader (pixel 7 pro) . It’s a downgrade from reader on the back of the phone (pixel 5). It’s slower, less accurate, and worst of all, at night it often results in being flashed with a bright light.
I thought it’d be more convenient having the reader on the front, so i can unlock the phone without lifting it, but most of the time it’s a nuisance because i doesn’t work as well.
Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.
I accidentally turn on the auto show keyboard when opening the app drawer and now I dont know how to turn it off again. On a Pixel 6 pro.
Might be a launcher setting, which one do you use? Stock Pixel Launcher?
Stock pixel launcher
That it isn’t a librem 5 or one of those tinfoil hat phones
FWIW there are a lot of people trying to sell used ones, if you want one cheap.
Thats comforting, maybe a few yrs from now if considering getting one, i got two phones rn and my current priority is a new laptop :3. Tt for the tip.
Have had my S8 galaxy since release, and now various apps won’t work on the OS. I’m being forced into buying a new phone at this point.
Install LineageOS?
About 2.5 years ago I left behind Android and went to the Dark Side. Bought an iPhone. It was frustrating to use at first because changing OS is a pain in the ass, but I got used to it and actually really like it now.
But I still have two big complaints:
There ought to be some kind of icon in the toolbar to show me I have unread notifications. I miss this very much from Android, which would show icons for the apps that have notifications. The Apple Watch solves this by having a notification icon, but I shouldn’t need to buy a separate device for that functionality.
I cannot stand that I can only go back by swiping from the left side of the screen. On Android the swipe in gesture from either left or right side could be set up to be the “back” action. I understand why this is, Android developed with a dedicated back button and thus has an OS-level back command, whereas iOS is highly contextual and you flow through apps and menus differently than Android, and it has no dedicated universal “back,” so swiping in from the left is back and swiping in from the right is forward. It makes using a large screen one-handed unnecessarily difficult.
With the phone itself I miss a headphone jack (using an adapter USB c to 3.5"), no hardware keyboard, and no replaceable battery.
In general I don’t turn my phone off often enough, usually only once or twice a week I should turn it off more often.
