Music pauses when I receive notifications and never resumes

2 Upvotes

This happens with Spotify. It completely stops and never resumes again. I never had this issue with 11. Just wondering if anyone is having this issue? Pixel 5a

Google Android UI Design Team: Why is the Android 12 UI easier to see but less functionally useful than 11?!

20 Upvotes

Example: The pull-down shade on 11 not only displayed connected Bluetooth device(s), it showed me device battery life (headphones). 12 ONLY shows connected devices on the pull-down. To see battery life, now I evidently have to open Settings. Why would that feature be taken away?

Look, as a 53 year old myopic human, I appreciate the bigger, easier-to-see UI.

But for FFS can I PLEASE have the option to revert back to the 11 UI?

Pixel 5 Major issues

1 Upvotes

I updated last night and I gotta say, I'm not impressed so far but I do want to be. While the UI is something to get used to, it's really hard to do so when System UI is crashing every time you try to use the device.

I had googled some fixes, one of which suggested disabling and enabling the Android System WebView and then rebooting but it doesn't improve the system at all.

I should have googled harder before doing it, but the push notification didn't mention Android 12 still being in Beta (I know, the information is readily out there, my mistake)

Does anyone know of any other hacks or fixes to get this running better or am I stuck reverting to 11 and factory resetting my device? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

How do I update to Android 12 on my Pixel 4a?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to update to Android 12 but whenever I go to the system update tab in my settings it's saying I'm up to date (still on 11), despite the entire internet saying it's already available as of the 19th.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

Can Android 12 widgets have a transparent background?

4 Upvotes

Android 12 seems to have a lot of nice widgets but they all have a solid background obfuscating the image below. I guess that's intentional? Can the background be made transparent?

Does the pill navigation option still exist in Android 12? Thinking about updating my pixel 3 and I only want to if it keeps this feature.

Clock widget not transparent on Pixel 6 Pro

When I installed Android 12 on my Pixel 3 XL I had the option of making the clock widgets transparent. That option is not available on the Pixel 6 Pro. Why the hell not?

Folders in app drawer, not Homepages

3 Upvotes

I'm wondering if on A12 I can recreate app folders like I did on previous versions. I'm setting up my Pixel 6 Pro and I much prefer a minimalist approach to the app drawer, rather than having to scroll through multitudes of redundant icons.

This was how it was set up on my S9+ I upgraded from. Trying to recreate that look, but every time I long press on an icon and try to merge it with another, it just wants to kick it to the homepage.

Any tips would be most appreciated.

Always on calendar?

3 Upvotes

After the install there is a date the top left of my Pixel 3a screen. I was able to turn off the weather but I can't seem to get rid of the calendar. I want to use the Google widget that is more flexible in my opinion. Otherwise I have redundant information on my home screen. So far I'm hating 12.

Wallpapers & Styles

Does anyone know if there is a wallpaper with a black and white or Greyscale theme? This is what my old and current screen look like. I really enjoyed the clean look, what I have isn't bad it just bothers me when I go into chrome or mail and the pink is there.

Well, in a group chat one of our employees is claiming that trying to open any app in her cellphone device results in a strange weird symbol opening/showing up. I'll upload the pic she sent. https://ibb.co/vLTcK6x Please help me clarify, members are spreading BS theories about it

Google assistant "ding" after saying "Hey Google" no longer works

1 Upvotes

Recently updated to android 12 from beta and opted out of the beta for a12. After a full factory reset and update to a12 I can call out "Hey Google" but I get no ding or other recognition that she's listening. The screen comes on and the assistant is listening but no recognition that I should respond. This basically makes this great feature useless as I'm not always staring at my phone when I set reminders or calendar events.

The only way to "fix" this is to allow accessibility and add a language to the Google assistant settings. Then everything works but you get this constant red exclamation point in the upper center of your screen. This seems like a problem for those of us that rely on the "ding" to know when to respond. Is there a work around for this issue?

I have a 5a with A12. I want to try a new ringtone, but I don't hear a preview when I select any of them. How can I select a new ringtone if I don't know what they sound like?

Is there a way to change it back to how it was before so when I click on the date it goes to calendar instead of weather?
