Under screen fingerprint sensors. Doesn’t matter how old/new your phone is, they all suck. The one on my phone works… whenever it feels like it. That and OneUI sucks, but yk, custom ROMs ftw.
Reviewers were really happy they swapped the optical one for an ultrasonic one on the latest Pixel.
Cheering because they gave us the slightly less bad version of something terrible.
No one asked for this, you dimwits!
I have a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. I would in change a thing. Best combo I’ve ever had.
i want a physical qwerty keyboard like the pro1x
Lack of OIS on the camera. Literally the only bad thing about it.
The fact that I have to pay money for it. This thing should be paying me. Actually, everything should be. You there, reading this, fucking $50, now.
Other than that? It doesn’t have a front-facing bottom speaker. Basically everything else is perfect.
Sure, I’ll pay you 50$, but upon agreeing to do so - and by reading, replying, or not replying to this you thereby agree - you must give me triple the amount you have or will ask for, in euros, first.
Oh nooooo D:
That it’s 7 years old and I can’t find a replacement that isn’t a downgrade in functionality.
Software updates. They are disguised as security and feature updates while slowing down your phone to make you buy the newer versions.
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?
Still looking for a keyboard that only suggests actual words
Had a Galaxy S8 and loved it. Got a Pixel 6 and now the slow fingerprint sensor is the bane of my existence. Why did they put it on the front? Why is that the standard now? It sucks, it’s just slower and less ergonomic.
Pixel 7 here from S10e. Still sucks. I hear finally Pixel 9 fixed it.
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?
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.
Battery life is a little short, and the software support ends in about a year. Really wish I could keep this phone going for another 3 or 4.
How difficult it is to remove Google’s bloatware.
Generally: That I can’t mount my network samba shares into local folders without rooting the whole damn thing.
That I can’t force my device to stay in wifi if no internet connection is available (to access local network only).
Device specific: That sometimes volume control is very buggy while putting in a headphone jack and I have to navigate into sub-sub settings hell to set everything back.
