I guess nobody thought of Wednesday when testing! I mean, that's more of a nova scaling issue I would assume. I doubt they are testing their widgets on 3rd party launchers. The same thing happens from time to time for my Z Fold 3 on the skinny cover screen when going between unfolded mode and folded mode. Removing and re-adding the widget fixes things and sometimes it fixes itself. I suspect that the widget is not built to account for variable DPI scaling.

On the regular launcher it gets trimmed to just Wed, So I think that's just a nova issue

MikeJF posted:Hold up, so they just dropped Android 12 onto me and froze me out right away so I'm not getting any of the basic follow-up bugfixes? Google have commited to one last Pixel 3 update in Q1 2022 Wouldn't be surprised if it's 12L (aka finished Android 12), purely because having the 3 and 3a differ in final API level is way more hassle than it's worth down the line.

 Should I be concerned that AMDroid thinks Christmas is the 24th and New Years is the 31st? edit: I understand putting Christmas on Friday, but no businesses actually consider Christmas Eve to be the 23rd right? Vykk.Draygo fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Nov 11, 2021 |

No. It seems to be the federal holidays list and since Xmas and New Year's are on Saturday, the holidays are moved to Friday. Edit: the Eves being on the wrong day is just wrong. They should also be listed on Fridays, I guess. Unless Uthor fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Nov 11, 2021 |

Stevie Lee posted:Seems to come and go for me on my pixel 2 with no rhyme or reason besides I recently started using the Another Widget that was recommended in this thread to replace the Google At A Glance, and switched back to Nova Launcher. It's so much nicer to have a widget that has settings that you control and can set to show what you want, how you want it, instead of what ever the gently caress the algorithm feels like today.

In the US, observed holidays fall on Friday if the actual holiday is Sat and Monday if the actual holiday is Sunday. Basically, the closest workday of the same week.

I just need to rant about Google Pay for a moment: I used to do all of my money sending between friends/family through Google Pay. It was great, it was easy, I could just send them money straight from my checking account without a problem, they could send me money without issue, I could manage it through my desktop or my phone, and it was very intuitive. The new Google Pay is a loving dumpster fire. There's no desktop interface (well, there is one, but you can't do poo poo from it), if I want to send money from my checking account, I have to take money out and add it to Google Pay balance, which takes up to five days and has a $1,500 limit, and then send it to the person after that goes through which could take another couple of days, unless I want to use my debit card, but I don't have a loving debit card, and I don't understand why they can do that for a loving debit card but not for a loving checking account that's attached to my Google Pay account; the money is coming from exactly the same loving place. Nobody who I had in Google Pay previously carried over in my contacts, the first time my roommate tried to send me rent through it (which he has done multiple times before) they loving sent it back because I didn't confirm I wanted to have that money. I want to say that Pay is worse than their incessant messaging changes, but maybe that's going a bit too far. Honestly, between Google Pay, Google Play Music, and Google Messages I'm seriously considering switching to an iPhone, in spite of being a pretty enthusiastic Android user since the Galaxy S2. Thank you for coming to my TED talk/yes I know this is a Wendy's.

Ya I'm also a long time Android user, since the Motorola Droid X, and about to pop over to the other side. Between privacy concerns with google, the aforementioned project killing nature of the ecosystem, and general frustration I'm just about done. Good to hear other people feel similarly.

I really thought about getting an iPhone after a real frustrating repair experience, but just ordered a used Pixel 4a. I like the longevity and support of their devices, but I don't like using iOS much. Not much of a comparison given the state of Android tablets, but my iPad is so much nicer to use (granted I only use it to read comics, so don't interface with iOS besides clicking the icon to launch Marvel Unlimited/comiXology. But the mention of iTunes made me check and there's no MediaMonkey app for iOS, so I'm glad I didn't switch. I'd hate to have to migrate my library to another service.

Leon Sumbitches posted:Pretty sure iMessage has a desktop or web client. I'm a Spotify user, so itunes is w.e. for me. iMessage only has a Mac desktop app. you're hosed otherwise. I recently moved from Apple to Android. I tend to think of tech capabilities and things I like in three categories - security - privacy - user agency (the ability to do what I want, no matter how weird it is) Apple used to rule in 2 of the 3 categories, with Android ruling user agency. now, if you run a pixel device, Google is generally thought to rule both security and user agency. it's security advantage is marginal but there, mostly by writ of Chrome and not safari. So far the best thing about moving to Android is the ability to do whatever I want! I can run emulators without having to work around apples tedious app store limitations. I've got open source third party apps that address deficiencies in the first party apps! it's rad. android just has so much shittier UX though I am astounded!

Apple security has been pretty suspect for a bit. They don't seem to be honoring the terms of their bounty program, opting instead to bury the report and then silently releasing fixes at some future date without acknowledging that it was a problem and found by a community researcher. They also aren't backporting all security fixes to older macOS versions while still saying they are supported and updating. Also, while Apple support cycle has generally been class leading, they give no upfront guarantees of level of software support for any device that they sell (which then allows them to do stuff like not patch security vulnerabilities in older OS versions while saying they are supported.) It should be noted from that article, it looks like Apple may be doing the same thing with iOS 14 vs iOS 15. Anecdotally, I've run across far more severe app scaling problems 2 months in with my iPad Mini than I have in a decade of Android tablets. It's a weird thing. There are certainly a lot more polished tablet app experiences on iOS, but when they miss, they miss hard and look like they are emulating an iPhone SE from 2016 where the worse that happens on Android is a bit more whitespace and padding. The least they could do is scale things to the point of their Max phones on an iPad for apps like that. I bought the iPad mini because it was the only real decent piece of hardware in that size category, but it has not been some sort of revelatory experience coming from Android. Apple Pay and Google Pay are 1:1 transferrable in my experience so I don't know why one would be better than the other. Contactless payments are contactless payments. Google's app is a bit lovely, but you only have to deal with it when you are setting up the card. iMessage basically just depends on your social group. I have 3 iPhone contacts so it's not really much help for me there.

When it comes to just paying for stuff at a POS,n yeah, they're pretty much the same. It's the other functionality (being able to send and receive money) that I expect to see some differentiation. Then again, I may have resolved my issues with Google Pay by switching to Zelle.
