I’m still waiting for them to change the godawful quick toggles. Not only do the quick toggles take up so much space now (it almost feels like accessibility mode is on by default), Wifi and Mobile Internet are hidden behind a second layer of toggles.

I just wish they would fix the back gesture to never take me back to the home screen, or at least give me that as an option. It’s the one thing that frustrates me to hell on an almost daily basis when I’m using Android. I don’t need another gesture that takes me to the home screen, and especially not one that often closes the app I was looking at altogether, meaning it needs restarting.

I hope I can force install old apps. I like my old games

They probably worked towards these two goals of Google : We made it even harder to do anything without using our property crap, yet again./ made side loading impossible or we’re making it more difficult cause we want you use our app store only. All For security of course.

I’m still waiting for LineageOS 20 for my device

My Pixel 6 Pro battery life has been abysmal, I’m torn between installing the 14 beta and a factory reset.

New Android versions are not about the new features. It’s about “what functionality and apps am I losing this time?”

It’s a joke mentioning “Android” and “Privacy” in the same sentence.

Google can add whatever permission structure and features they way but as long as you, the owner and use of the service, is not allowed to set whatever permissions and/or remove whatever apps you like you do not have any privacy.

I’ve owned q Android phones as my personal phone since my first Galaxy S3 but I don’t have any illusion regarding privacy as long as Google and Samsung are the true masters over my device.

For example…The devices sold today are fully capable of even firewalling on app level so that the user would be able to control exactly what hosts the Chinese app he/she installed is able to talk to.

But noooo… Who would want such an feature?
