someone thought "hmmm yes, what users want is to have to swipe twice to get the full control panel from the top of the screen"

someone really thought that.

anroid folks!
idk i think it's kind of an improvement from before where you got different top panels depending on whether you swiped from top left or top right


cthulhoo posted:

for some reason you cant touch on empty space to make it gently caress off anymore either you have to swipe it up

one of my faves is where you have to delete icons from your homescreen by dragging them towards a button where they made huge efforts to make it look like button that you press. only you cant press it, it emulates the real world scenario of "dragging stuff onto buttons"
i'm not getting either of these on mine?? the X Remove thing does not look like a button

got 5.0 for my n7 and it continues the trend of android getting more unstable the longer you own the device. like even with a complete reinstall it does the same thing. also happened to my droid x as well.

if you got an android for free you still got ripped off.

Something called whisper push occasionally locks up my phone completely when I text by force closing, relaunching itself, then immediately force closing. Forever.
