In KK it's swipe a circle in whatever direction

Endless Mike posted:When Apple first added the camera shortcut to the iOS lockscreen (iOS6?), it wasn't (and still isn't) immediately apparent how to use it, with the obvious thing being to tap the icon. Doing this just makes the bottom of the screen bounce a little as if it's saying "Hey, I'm under here! Swipe up for me!" which I always thought was cute. I actually just had to explain this to my mom. I was over at my parents place for a family thing and I saw that she kept unlocking the phone to take photos. I asked her why she wouldn't just use the camera lockscreen shortcut and she said "that never works". So I took the phone and swiped the camera icon up and she had this moment before she goes, "I thought you were just supposed to tap it!"

No but you should just be able to look at it and know what to do. Otherwise it's poor design.

LastInLine posted:Exactly. I'm guessing someone who's never used a phone would probably poke the icon, which is when they get a handy message telling them which direction to swipe. If you know enough to swipe but you forget which way, tentatively moving in either direction will give you an obvious clue what that direction will do. Just tapping the screen will tell you how to unlock it, so you can get into the phone and use the normal icons if you want It's discoverable and gives you information about what's happening in connection with your actions, which is part of the material design ethos. Try and think like a complete newbie for a minute - what's better? Seeing the little camera icon visually highlighting and expanding as you perform a movement, or seeing some weird fullscreen block start to creep over the screen, a thing you don't recognise because you don't know what the camera app even looks like? Would you be even remotely confident that you're doing the right thing? Or would grandma? Material design's animation guidelines are more about reacting to user interaction, to provide a visual connection to what you just did and what's happening as a result - stuff like changes rippling outward from where you pressed, so you get a sense of direct consequence because of the thing you did. That's pretty much the opposite idea to 'people should know exactly what to do and what will result before they touch anything', which is a really hard thing to assume in UX, even among seasoned users let alone newbies

All I'm seeing here is "Look at all these scrubs that can't launch their camera by flicking their wrist."

I think ICS did it the best, personally: drag the circle left for camera, right to unlock. On the incoming call screen you could drag it upwards to do the quickfire SMS responses, but lol anybody ever discovering/using that without being told about it

I was confused by all this Moto X 2013 lockscreen poo poo and just realized its because these scrubs press the power button before they unlock.

robodex posted:Am I crazy or wasn't it swipe left in KK to unlock the phone? It's always traditionally been swipe right to unlock, like in iOS. On stock Android, you could really just swipe in any direction to unlock prior to the camera/dialer/etc lock screen shortcuts.

I just tried to flash my 2012 Nexus 7 with the 5.1 image I downloaded from google (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) but I'm getting a "signature mismatch" error, what gives?

67 hours of uptime on 5.1 and not a single launcher redraw or hiccup. I am seeing Pocketcasts keeping the phone awake while I am listening to it, though.

God dammit. N5 returned to the power button issue, now goes through "optimizing apps" every time it boots up. I'm calling it, this N5 is dead. Really didn't want to have to get another phone so early; was hoping to get the next gen

It uses Samsung's in-house Exynos CPU this time around, which is looking to run circles around the Snapdragon 810.

So this happened to my Z3c on my trip to Taiwan. I guess the humidity here got to the glue. Still, how is it that Sony thought that securing the contact plate with only glue is a good idea? Hopefully Sony won't know or give me grief for using a third-party magnetic connector when I'm trying to do a warranty claim.

Has to be able to run the latest Android OS at any given time in that span without an incident that'll leave me with a problem that'd slow down my workflow.
