This guy and I has different understanding of the word "essential".

@merbudd 10 месяцев назад

i love how these ""essential"" "features" mostly consist of animations and slight tweaks...

@dansourile5444 9 месяцев назад

Well... Android is fairly fully features. We're not going to see massive, wholesale changes anymore.

@tempaccount-ni4id Месяц назад

Not that I want big new features, but just basic missing features. For example, the ability to add an audio volume slider like the brightness slider to the notification. It's very annoying to press the volume button when the device is laid on a surface.

They could make the ring around the front camera flash for notifications and show charging status. That would be cool I think, heck, call it ' Dynamic Ring' for all I care!

Thankyou very much for all the well needed information mate, I just upgraded my Pixel 7 Pro this morning! Although it did say that In 9 days, which would make it October 14th, everyone will get the upgrade regardless! But...I'm not so patient lol! All of these steps you shared most definitely helped me out because I wasn't all to sure what was coming along with the update lol! Again...I appreciate you taking the time to share this info with us. God bless, and have a pleasant day mate, cheers 🍻🤙🥃🍻

The transparent navigation bar on dark mode works very well. Like on Facebook, there is no more bezel around the bar which was not the case. (Used Facebook cuz it was one of the apps which was very famous for not supporting a transparent bar for Android)

How to apply the Monochrome theme to app icons in the app drawer ?

@katzicael 10 месяцев назад

I like everything so far, expect for the fact this update broke the Shortcut Maker app - which let you make app shortcuts with pixel launcher themed icons to fix native-unthemed. The shortcuts stopped working so now I can't use themed icons anymore :(

@darshanD_o7 10 месяцев назад

@ben_1970 10 месяцев назад

Strange. I use that app and after updating my P6pro to A14 it still works for me. I notice the home screen icons now have a little "shortcut maker" right arrow in the lower right of each app icon made with the app but they still properly launch any given app. Try force stopping Shortcut Maker, clearing cache, and rebooting phone?

@greenvortex7 2 дня назад

Finally just got the update to 14 today on my RAZR+ Ultra 2023. The one thing I really want that still seems neither Android nor Apple have that Blackberry 10 OS had was in texting. Whenever you input more than one name for a group text a check box would appear and give you the choice if you wanted to create a goup text so everyone replies are seen or send it to multiple people (bassically a bcc) and only each person's reply is sent back to you. This was one of my fav features Blackberry had that is still absent even in 2024 on Android...now that would be a best update. Now this is done for each message and not global and does not effect any of your previous groups. As it is now you can do this on Android but it is a global setting that will affect all texts.

How do I set my flash to pulse in notification settings? I don't see it..I have the screen and camera flash set to flash...but I don't see the pulse...

@borg9355 11 дней назад

This isn't related to the video; but I thought perhaps since you suggested essential features you might have a suggestion. I have an app that needs to have the permission to show things on top of other apps which I have allowed. The issue is on android 14 the system feels the need to tell me that the app needs this permission in the notification area and the option to turn off this notification is grayed out. Swiping the message to the left gets rid of it for a short period of time; but then it comes right back. So this results in the message taking up space in my notification area all the time. I have searched all over the internet and the default answer seems to be if the option to turn off is grayed out then one is out of luck. This was not an issue with Android 10 which I am coming after having a phone for 5 years. Thanks for your help.

@rounakabid4250 4 месяца назад

Will these features be available in Motorola edge 30?

@alicedapra86 9 месяцев назад

I'm stupid, let me get this straight... I have a Motorola Edge 30 with Android 13, my home screen and lock screen's wallpapers are basically pink images. The theme I can apply from the Motorola settings (there is NO "Themes App", like I encountered in my Xiaomi phone) chooses the colour of everything based on any colour I want (pink, because I love this colour), or I can pick the colour from the wallpaper. So, choosing from the wallpapers, my phone app (Google phone, the stock app) is pink, my messages app (Google messages, the stock app) is pink, my calculator (stock app) is pink, my buttons are pink, and even my Chrome tabs are pink, and I REALLY love this. Will tI be able to choose the colour basing on the wallpaper applied, with this Android update? I don't want to lose my pink...!

Will the Pixel 7 and 7 pro be getting pixel 8 camera features with OS upgrade ?

@epender 9 месяцев назад

No. The Pixel 7 could possibly do those things in theory, but Google is unlikely to add them as it lowers the incentive to upgrade your device.

@divano1014 10 месяцев назад

I find this update to be quite lackluster in terms of visual and feature changes (although i do love all the new features) there werent any major bugs from android 13 that really warranted this lack of featureset (like how android 13 was minor visually and cosmetically but fixed so much of android 12)
