third-party android modifications*

my family's pixel devices, and mine running gos, don't have this. nor the cell bar style, nor the 'we have to advertise the wifi version so people feel good that bigger number = better' wifi icon style...

the default is just a battery icon, though I have it set on my phone to also show the percent alongside it. this hasn't changed in many years. blame your manufacturer and their skinning and modding.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah seeing the post had me worried for a while but appears it's not and android thing but a Samsung thing. This is why I stopped buying Samsung phones 6 years ago.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Oh thank God. I'm probably going to update my Pixel soon and was worried

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shitty Life Pro Tip, just keep your battery below 19% and they can't update.

taps head 😎

I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won't ever empty my storage again.

Edit: i thought this was a samsung sublemmy, I missed Lemmy shitpost, but im not deleting what i typed i feel like i spent a good half hour bitching about it and frankly feel more vindicated seeing others complain.

full rant if you want it

I hate the battery not looking like a battery. Minor complaint tbh, I dislike it but I might come to like it.

Notifications now stop at 3. Why. Why the fuck. I moderate discord and modmail pings me 17 times an hour. I want to see that I have a text in Notifs, and now it just shows 3 discord icons when opened - I have to open the full tray. Negative user experience item

The split trays was fucking stupid. I have a fold and I STILL hate it. Fixed it in settings. Negative user experience to have forced it rather than asking. Moderate item since you can reverse it.

Adding 6 "quick items" at the top of the Tray is nice, since they fucked with the tray. It's like..."we know we made the ui worse so here have quick access to 6 items you actually wanted as an I'm sorry present" The whole Tray is very iPhone. I did not pay for a Samsung to get an iPhone. People are welcome to like them, I'm not here to hate. But I specifically bought a Samsung phone with Samsung styled ui - if I wanted this feel id have gotten an iPhone.

Spotify now has like this....loading screen? It tells me when i have no service and won't even open the app if I've lost internet (data off and walk too far from wifi) Difficult to see the upside to this "live status". Minor poor user experience.

Google assistant has been removed from the bottom left swipe. Holy shit i hated that move. Why the fuck was it in the bottom left in the first place. Even worse, now it's fucking Gemeni. Ai is actually ass. Turned it off and disabled it. Disabled the tile in my apps. Putting AI on my phone is a hard negative especially with the next item

Google assistant now no longer works. It just makes Google searches. I now no longer have a hands free way to tell my phone to "call (contact)". Gemini did not recognise this command and is part of why I disabled and removed it. Now GA doesn't either - continuing the trend of making GA more and more useless. This is such a hard negative actually has me considering turning Bixby on. Using the full phone book when I used to be able to tell my phone to call people is such a shit maneuver. Very, very poor user experience.

App drawers looks clean. Looks smooth. Reorganization is fine. Positive user experience.

They changed something about Home Screens but I dont know what. I feel like they shrank the icons? Gave me an extra row? Something. Feels off now. Somewhat poor user experience because the user is left feeling paranoid about what did or did not actually change.

voice-to-text was removed from the keyboard and then hidden and moved to the bottom left last. You know, the same spot Google assistant was also placed last update. Actual dogshit user experience hiding the VTT and making me dig through the internet to put it back. The fuck was this choice.

Overall negative and has me rethinking keeping with the Fold line given their price. If anyone has a Launcher to fix some of these issues or to restore voice text making calls, I'd appreciate it.

I hate the battery not looking like a battery.

Welcome to One UI 7 🙃

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (5 children)

Yes, icons got smaller and a row was added. They also changed the weather app to be scalable (ie not every icon needs to be 1:1 squares, they can scale now).

I was able to merge everything on my second page into my first page, so now Inly have 1 "desktop"-like page with folders

My biggest issue is that now I dont see notifications when I open my phone and swipe down, I have to swipe down TWICE now. Once for the system menu, again for the notifications. Its like they switched the 2 panels' priority

OneUI 7 is visually a steaming pile of shit. Real "we have iPhone at home" vibes throughout. Specifically for me what they've done with icons, why cant i have white or colored icons with dark mode?

Beta testers complained so much up to release how uncohesive everything is and Samsung constantly shut down feedback with "this doesn't meet our design goals". Surprise, now it hits general public and everyone still hates their goals. This won't ruin them, but it defintely makes me reconsider Samsung going forward.

Edit - yes I know there's third party solutions to most android problems, but shouldn't have to load apps and spend hours customizing to interface without vomiting.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

All of my family members have Samsung phones and every single one of them has been complaining about the update. Normal people, tech people, it doesn't matter. They all hate it. It's actually kind of insane. The only reason I have been spared so far is that my phone is too old to get the new OneUI update. I can't imagine any of them will buy a Samsung next time they buy a phone if the UI stays like this. People who buy Android phones are people who like Android phones. You're not going to lure iPhone users to Android by being more like an iPhone because they're just going to buy the real deal instead. It's just stupid. Just the battery icon discussed in the OP was the source of a lot of complaints because it is extremely hard to read especially for older people.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hate how ultra round everything is. Especially sliders like for volume feel so weird and look that way too. I really liked the OneUI 6.x rectangular design with rounded corners way more.

The dropdown panel is also stupid. It's just so incredibly clumsy as you have to pull it down from very top, meanwhile the other mode allows you to double swipe down anywhere on the panel and it expands.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 5 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I am not sure if it is intended to look like this, but how the fuck am I supposed to read my volumes now? What the fuck is this contrast? I have to wear glasses, but without them I could manage (like, when I wake up), but this is now almost unreadable without them. Same with battery.

Crazy that they didn’t actually leverage the beta for changing the UX too. A good beta isn’t just to catch bugs, it’s also to catch user experience problems.

that's just samsung though, i'm on android 15 too and my battery looks like a battery

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

One UI 7 is the worst update I've ever suffered in my entire life.

Win7->10 wasn't this bad.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I see you're skipping windows 7→8 which is fair because most people did

I hate the new top pull-down menus.

[–] Origen@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you pull down and tap the little pencil to edit, then go to panel settings, you will find the option to change the pulldown menus from separate back to together. It made me less irritated but I still dont like the new look.

They should’ve just copied iOS and made it look like a little battery.

[–] elvith@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I bet they patented (or trademarked or...) that look.

I genuinely feel for y'all not able to flash your own OS.

I bought a fairphone and have been running lineageOS on it.

Oh fuck, I hate this too. Fucked up the video player and a bunch of my settings as well. Why is everything so round!? Why did they fuck up my clock widget SO BAD!??

[–] nope@jlai.lu 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Try custom ROMs if you can (this is android 14 BTW)

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

OneUI means Samsung.

Samsung means: can't do shit in the US, limited shit outside of the US. AFAIK most custom ROMs, especially for higher end Samsung's are OneUI based. They also make it difficult (or impossible?) to use VoLTE/VoNR with custom ROMs because of their own proprietary IMS stack

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago

I've been gifted a few old Samsung S3s for using in our workshop at work. They're all the same model, but it turns out that one of them runs a different processor. So I've been able to put LineageOS on two of them, but the third refuses to unlock.

Meanwhile, I moved into the world of Android a few months ago after having iPhones since 2009. Within half an hour of taking delivery of my Pixel 9 it was running GrapheneOS.

Fuck Samsung.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Idk if someone even made a rom for my A55
and am not in the U.S and i have oem unlocking in the settings

It's sooo terrible. I updated my phone not realizing it was going to be such a big change & it kind of ruined my day.

I'd love to go with a different OS, but nothing has stylus support for writing and note taking :/

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Dito. I thought it was a minor update and was greeted by 'welcome' letting me feel as if my mobile was reset for a few minutes.

Bad experience. And just because it needed to make absolutely sure I do not ignore the gemini AI.

I then ignored the gemini AI, out of spite alone.

[–] ultrahamster64@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It looks almost exactly like the apple one

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It does not. Apple’s is a little battery. This looks more like a notification badge. Corner radius is too big, and it needs a nipple.
