I never update until there are a few months of other people using it to get feedback. did they fuck up anything major? anything irritating?
Still on 14 but I doubt this will change on 15. The fucking Media Picker is driving me Nuts!! What do you mean Most apps only have access to my Camera, Videos, Screenshots and Downloads? Why can’t I just access my Gallery App? Why can’t I add Ente as my Cloud Media App??
If I’m not mistaken, on the hamburger menu of that media picker you can chose your phone’s storage and have access to other files
Nope sorry only Cloud Media App
omg dude right? what the fuck even is that
I’ve noticed lately that I have to tick a “I trust this app” check box and hit “Accept” in order for the password manager to auto-fill my timesheet app. Why add two extra clicks, with no ability to permanently say “I trust this fucking app, you bastards”…
So they can add the always trust (until next full moon) on A16…
that does sound annoying. thanks for the heads up
Samsung hasn’t given me A15 yet :(
I barely noticed any change from 14. They changed the UI style slightly, especially in the settings menu, but nothing that really affects anything.
Yeah. I wouldn’t have noticed the upgrade if it wasn’t for the posts about it.
The weird quick tiles changes are annoying, I guess, but I barely use those.
what did they change about the quick tiles
Long pressing the Bluetooth tile used to turn off Bluetooth, now it opens the list of devices.
They just changed the DND tile to be a “mode” tile, so it’s harder to turn DND on.
I’m not sure, I haven’t noticed any changes from android 14 I think.
what did they change about the settings
It just looks different. It’s more of a list of tiles now than a list of rows, if that makes sense.
I found the battery life to be worse again
Did you expect it to ever get better? Best google can do is kill background apps without your permission.
It kills my VPN app every night.
what VPN do you have? and you have “always on VPN” switched on in your phone settings?
I’ve tried the official WireGuard app and WG Tunnel, enabling unrestricted battery use, always on VPN, allowing notifications, etc. But since I upgraded to LineageOS 22.1, the app is always killed overnight.
Whenever there’s a minor update of any kind, they tell me about something pointless that they’ve added Gemini too, but it’s mostly fine and I’ve always been able to turn it off or ignore it. I haven’t noticed any major issues with it.
