Is there any quick gesture to change screen brightness? Right now it's stuck behind two swipes down on the notification bar. The auto brightness is better than the OnePlus but only marginally.

If "hour over minutes" is the dumbest thing you've ever seen, don't stop and think about actual clocks.

my watch displays time in the stacked format by default, i quite like it. it also has the leading zero and i like that too. not sure how one could form an argument for it being the dumbest thing ever considering it's efficiency at communicating the time is probably exactly the same as any other digital format, but i'd like to hear someone give it whirl.

Plenty of clocks show hours over minutes. It's so absurd and dumb and excessive and hyperbolic to say poo poo like "it's for children who can't read time". Jfc. vvv I agree! It should be changeable, and the leading zero bugs me. No need for drastic and absurd hyperbole here. CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Nov 1, 2021 |

I don't think I'm being dramatic when I say that I'll set myself on fire if they don't fix the clock. I do need to actually go thru the Pixel Tips wizard and see if there is anything useful.

CLAM DOWN posted:These things? Yeah, almost every major site does this kind of fuckery. Shopping sites do it a lot. Invisibly enumerate all your plugins, try to load playlists via video plugins to break through, previously loading Flash, Shockwave, and Java before they were killed. They also all poll the GPU via WebGL and draw items to attempt to get a unique image + make an off-page image and repeatedly draw into it thousands of times to get a "random" pattern that's unique per device. On every page load. It burns battery in a lovely attempt to "make sure" that you are a "unique real person" viewing the ad and not a click farm.

Got the notification on my 4a for Android 12. Been putting it off since I've been hearing about battery and touchscreen issues with it. I get that a lot of the complaints are UX, but those both sound like "give it a few days" to me. Or are those overblown, as well?

Gather unto me, brothers and sisters, here me now and here me well, for I speak unto thee of a pox, nay a PLAGUE, visited upon our intelligent telephones, a sinister plague that goes by the name of Android 12. HA! 12? And already we see! Two sixes, one short of the sign of the Great Beast? Aye, we know your true name, ANTICHRIST 12! You may think at first, O, tis not so bad, tis merely a mode suitable for for Goodwyfe Miller's third form Sunday School or perhaps the Seniors Ministry, but be not deceived! This is but one facet of the Dark Lord's Dark Design for us ALL! No longer shall you activate or dispel thine Wireless with the press of a button, forever shall you be plagued with giant blob controls fit only for those poor souls from the Age of Nephilim! Pray with me brothers and sisters, pray with me that our souls may yet be spared! Also I don't like the clock.

My annoyances are very minor, such as not being able to open the calendar from the At A Glance widget, or not being able to get to the clock by tapping the time in the notification shade. Really just small things I had gotten used to, and now need to relearn. It's subjective, but I love the new jumbo AOD clock.

Alarbus posted:And not to be rude, but seriously, what you're trying to do is fundamentally change how the phone works. You make it sound super easy, and it's not going to be that way. I get that it's a problem, but your requested solutions don't exist or don't work. No I'm not and yes it does? There's like 50 apps that (successfully) changed the resolution and DPI of the screen with a single click; I've tried them all. The only issue I am having is with "padding". One-handed Mode app used to work fine for me all the time a few years ago, it's just not working on her phone for some reason (even though we can change the DPI and resolution with ease).
