About 2.5 years ago I left behind Android and went to the Dark Side. Bought an iPhone. It was frustrating to use at first because changing OS is a pain in the ass, but I got used to it and actually really like it now.
But I still have two big complaints:
There ought to be some kind of icon in the toolbar to show me I have unread notifications. I miss this very much from Android, which would show icons for the apps that have notifications. The Apple Watch solves this by having a notification icon, but I shouldn’t need to buy a separate device for that functionality.
I cannot stand that I can only go back by swiping from the left side of the screen. On Android the swipe in gesture from either left or right side could be set up to be the “back” action. I understand why this is, Android developed with a dedicated back button and thus has an OS-level back command, whereas iOS is highly contextual and you flow through apps and menus differently than Android, and it has no dedicated universal “back,” so swiping in from the left is back and swiping in from the right is forward. It makes using a large screen one-handed unnecessarily difficult.
Making me feel like a freak for asking for the freaking
sudo.If you can’t do any software change you want, you are not the owner of the device.
Stupid large dimensions, it simply doesn’t fit in pockets anymore
- No good operating system preinstalled by default
- No headphone jack anymore
This plus no way to replace battery yourself or upgrade storage.
KATIE LEAVING ME ON READ WHEN I ASK FOR FEET PICS
😱
Do we still say “name checks out” on Lemmy?
Be the continuation of a meme you want to see.
Have you tried asking again? Or maybe she just wants you to send yours first
Spam and ads
Touchscreen basically being unusable in any kind of rain no matter how light
Battery life
Keeping too many things running in the background, making things laggy. (I do close out apps when I’m done using them, and I solve laggy times with the Optimize widget. I just wish it would automatically optimize)
Makes we wonder what OS you’re running. Most modern phone software “freezes” the app state when it’s in the background and frees up the memory for the frontmost app.
I have the opposite issue with background apps - I have 12 GB of RAM (16 on the tablet) and it still closes utilities sometimes and forces me to relaunch them (in some cases going back into settings and re-enabling accessibility services for example. That should never happen, in case it’s Really for accessibility)
My fingerprint scanner was on the back, but now it’s on the front, and can’t identify me as regularly as it did before.
I’ve gotten used to the new location, but I can’t forgive making it less accurate than it used to be.
My god, I upgraded from an S9 to an S22 and seeing the fingerprint scanner on the front baffled me. With a screen protector on I unlock it on the first try maybe 25% of the time
There’s a setting you can turn on that increases the sensitivity, which should fix the issue. It works perfectly fine for me with a screen protector
I went from a Pixel 3 to a Pixel 7. I hold on to my phones as long as possible.
why on earth are people so comfortable giving private companies their fingerprint and face scans?
The fingerprint is stored on your device. You don’t give it to a company.
Knowing how Lemmy is, I’ll probably catch shit for this, but it’s the truth:
I just don’t care.
I won’t say you’re being paranoid because, I don’t know for sure that there won’t be repercussions, but I don’t see a realistic downside considering the cops and FBI already have mine for clearances.
The fact that it won’t have any record of calls I missed while the phone was off or didn’t have reception, although actually that’s probably the fault of the service provider. They can send me texts I missed. Why can’t they send me a list of missed calls?
Mine sends me texts lol
Every single operator I’ve had does this. Maybe you turned it off?
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.
My S20FE checks a lot of boxes but I miss a few features from my s8+, mainly the status LED and the heaphone jack. I also am not a huge fan of the fingerprint scanner, but it works well enough so meh. Removable battery, obviously everyone wanta that. I also wish the operating system could could install custom OS.
Still looking for a keyboard that only suggests actual words
- 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?
