So whatever you're using either turned them back on or added them in.

When they appear, they push the left-most icons a little to the left, then when there's no WiFi activity, the arrows disappear, and the left-most icons shift back to the right. That's why it's so distracting. Try the System Tuner UI. - On the notfication panel, long hold the gear icon at the bottom until it tells you that System Tuner UI is now enabled in settings. Then play around with the options there.

It will relock after 4 hours of inactivity or a reboot. Otherwise it may just be janky

Google actually green-lit the change last year and allowed Sony to push it to AOSP: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/base/+/305789/ From the looks of things the dude who wrote the G+ post about removing the arrows was even one of the reviewers.

You're definitely getting the Google experience you paid for.

Voice unlock sounds like the most insecure thing ever. All someone has to do is Sneakers you into saying "OK Google".

Does anyone know why some of my app updates makes me press on the "update" button when I have it set to automatically update at all times? I'm on a Moto G5 Plus but I saw this same behavior on my Nexus 6.

Pretty sure the only time mine needs manual attention beyond plugging it in to charge is if an app has new/changed permissions.

Similarly to your wifi problem, I recently switched providers and now get whatever the moto g5+ calls 4G+ The problem is sometimes the reception fluctuates wildly between 4g and 4g+. This wouldn't be a problem if a) it didn't instantly reflect the change leading to the icon flashing 10 times a second for a bit and b) both 4g and 4g+ were the same width. Instead it causes everything to the right to move, including the wifi, alarm, vibrate and dnd icons. I would record it for your amusement but I'm too lazy

Has something changed recently in regards to how apps are managed/closed by Android (Pixel 1, 8.1, 1/5/18 patch, Fi)? For the past year+ I've been using a combination of Spotify and podcasting apps (current Pocket Casts) to listen to stuff via headphones, bluetooth in my car, and a group of 3 Vizio chromecast-enabled speakers. All apps I've used, to varying degrees, have been pretty flaky when it comes to transitioning from one network to another (for example, when I drive home from work and my phone connects to wifi). Often times, even after being connected to wifi for several minutes etc, Spotify/etc... isn't able to see any of the "castable" devices. Similarly, I'll be playing something at home and my phone will desynchronize and will be unable to reconnect to the devices that are playing. In the past I've been able to ignore these sorts of issues because there were easy workarounds. In general, if I used the square button and closed the Spotify/all/etc app and then reopened it, things refreshed and everything would work perfectly. This trick doesn't seem to work anymore. Pocket Casts, in particular, is unkillable. Although it's generally more stable than Spotify, it sometimes has some of the same problems. However, the player-control notification can't be dismissed from the notification tray, even if you've killed the app. When you start Pocket Casts back up, it resumes its broken/frozen state. Last night I was only able to fix things by restarting my phone.

Did the webview update recently and change how underlines are rendered? Letters with descenders are splitting underlines. I don't remember it doing this before and it's bugging me.

Yeah that's how typography usually works with underlines. I guess they made that a default or something. Happens all over for me now.

Without knowing the specifics, I imagine the MacBook Pro charger outputs somewhere between 15 and 20 V, so unless it has a special 5V output for phones and other low-power USB devices, I would not connect it to your phone.
