S23 ultra.
- Finderpint sensors still suck. Get face ID on these please
- Why does the device control button live on the left when swiping down the first time, but on the right on the second swipe? Put them on the same side for the love of god.
non-unlockable bootloader :(
(Samsung S10e, switching to Sony Xperia 6 soon…)
Stupid large dimensions, it simply doesn’t fit in pockets anymore

Still looking for a keyboard that only suggests actual words
The lack of basic things that used to be standard many years ago. Namely headphone jack and micro-SD card slot missing.
- Samsung bloatware
- Not being able to access files in a sane way both from a computer and in some extent from a phone without using 3rd party solutions.
And yeah, that’s it. But I am not needy.
I accidentally turn on the auto show keyboard when opening the app drawer and now I dont know how to turn it off again. On a Pixel 6 pro.
Might be a launcher setting, which one do you use? Stock Pixel Launcher?
The bloatware. And custom Roms being dead for all except Pixel
It feels like the os I have wasn’t designed for my phone. Buttons aren’t scaled properly, system apps ask me for consent over “privacy concerns”, no easy control over simple features like wallpaper, sluggish/buggy animations. I have a Redmi
Can’t listen to music while watching a video or listening to a podcast.
I feel you. Sometime i want to play white noise or lullaby to my baby on the speaker while listening to podcasts on the buds, but one pauses the other. It’s an unnecessary software limitation.
On a related note, it used to be possible to use a splitter to connect two sets of earbuds to watch a movie together on a plane. It’s not possible now with Bluetooth, you can output sound to only one device.
If you have an iOS device and AirPods you can actually do this.
On another related note, I wish I could use my earbuds to listen to two devices at the same time. Like my phone and my Steam Deck.
How much Google controls the software experience and locks it down.
Currently I wish I could run a local HTML/CSS/JS App on my browser (like you can easily do in any desktop OS) but I can’t.
From what I know, we’ve been able to do this for at least 15 years.

Thank you, I’ll look into this! Unfortunately, since my phone is Android 13, it doesn’t look like Termux would function properly, and the rest of the answers are very old and seem to require lots and lots of setup. What is the easiest way?
Install the f-droid store and see if you get it through there
Installing it isn’t the problem. Getting it to run without randomly quitting is the problem.
Update: I got node.js to do a simple program. Now, I want it to run a much larger program involving playing audio.
In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.
Between that and the godawful notification system, I feel like iPhone practically requires the Apple Watch.
I do really like how well the Apple Watch works with the iPhone, but I do kinda wish Apple would just steal notifications, date+time in the drop down, and back gestures from both sides of the screen from Android.
The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.
I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?
At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.
Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?
The camera bump.
Lack of physical keyboard.
Being a flimsy piece of shit comes in second.
I’m aware how that applies to basically every smartphone from 2013 - today. Currently rocking a used Galaxy S8
I was disappointed that the Android “BlackBerry” phones have such a bad keyboard. I still remember the one on my Bold 2, and I absolutely loved the shape of the keys. Touch typing at great speed was a breeze!!
I often wish for a little slide-out keyboard at the bottom end of my smartphone.
