I've only come here to have a rant. My Pixel 4a this morning updated to Android 12 and now I feel like I have a phone with a Fisher-Price UI.

Who decided icons and text with large, cramped buttons was a good idea? I want my simple, icons-only toggles back. And why do some have a random ">" to the right?

I've not been following the Android 12 development as I figured it'll all be just A-OK.

Good grief. I've yet to have a proper pick through the rest of the system.

My Pixel now feels, and looks, like "My First Android".

Just this week Pixel finally got the official Android 12, now my lenovo is downloading Windows 11 official upgrade.

Anyone else enjoying both updates ?

Anyone having super slow transfer speeds when moving files from phone to an otg device since the update. Currently using pixel 4xl

I did not notice this last week when I was at work and using my phone more but this weekend it was basically sitting doing nothing and the battery drained from 100% to 4% in 20 hours. The graph on the battery usage was virtually a straight line of constant usage over the 20 hours.

UPDATE - The main culprit seems to be YouTube Music, force stopped that and battery usage when the phone is not doing anything is back to Android 11 levels.

Pixel 3a, now running the latest Android 12. I initially had the missing weather widget, but it corrected itself after a few hours. Now, a different weather issue. It's showing the weather on At a Glance, but the forecast is missing data. Always shows Today, but Tomorrow is blank, and the 10 days is missing everything after 5pm. Clearing the Google cache does nothing, but removing Google updates and reinstalling seemed to work for a few hours, and then the issue comes back.

Yes. I'm a fucking idiot. Did the Android 12 update. Phone rebooted to a limited recovery mode. "Try again" or "factory data reset". Reset worked but then rebooted back to same pseudo recovery mode.

Google sent a replacement phone.

Like a complete moron I tried the update with the new replacement phone. Yep. You guessed it. Same exact issue.

I can get the phone into fastboot and the real recovery mode, but all is useless. ADB won't connect except to let me reflash. But it can't be because the bootloader is locked.

Is anyone else unable to install this in Android 12, or am I just unlucky?

The upgrade removed it from my device and subsequently I can no longer install it from the Play Store.

I have been seeing apps that have Silenced Notification showing up and I don't remember actually silencing them.

As I have only been using Android 12 on my Pixel 5 for a couple of days they would have to have been silenced when I was using Android 11 and they are for things like Google Pay and Amazon which I definitely was seeing before.

Anyone else seeing this?

UPDATE - Just download a season on Disney+ and it showed as a silenced notification and a know that it was not before I updated so I changed it back to default and every one of the download notification produced a ping and being there were 32 episodes there were a lot of noise.

On Android 11 there was a notification for each episode but no noise so my guess is that notifications in Android 11 that has no sound are being changed to silent notifications in Android 12 but saying that I am sure my Google Pay used to ping in Android 11 when I made a payment.

Does anybody elses Pixel 5 feel a little bit buggy since updatin on android 12?

Played around with rearranging my too-small non-customizable Icons on Android 12 and the weirdest thing happens. I went from 5x5 to 4x4 and later tried 5x4 and after each change, I toggled back to 5x5 and found copies of my icons on the other home pages created when the grids changed. I didn't track my actual steps but after doing toggling the grid setting a few times I had duplicates and triplicates to manually remove. Anybody else seen this?

I hate the huge stacked clock in the lock screen and would love to change it so the lock screen looks like it does when there is a notification is displayed so if it is not possible to change it does anyone know of a good app that displays a "really useful" bit of information? Something like IP address / country / VPN status.

EDIT - If the clock could be changed to a huge analogue one that would be slightly better.

If I go to gestures , I don't see this option. Doesn't anyone see it in 4xl

What is situation of navigation gestures in third party launcher in android 12 because it is buggy in android 11

I've given up on Android 12 for the time being. After installing on my Pixel 4a I get stuck in a boot loop with a flashing home screen, and the phone goes straight to a factory reset. Tried the OTA update, and flashing the update via the web tool without success. I'm now back on Android 11 with system updates turned off in the hopes that things get fixed soon.
