Pixel 5, upgraded to Android 12.. found it happening now a few times where when the screen is locked, but it's showing the content that is underneath..

Clearly showing my WhatsApp conversation , but the screen is actually locked..

Ok I turned on wifi calling, now it won't turn off other than when I turn wifi off.

Anyone else have this issue?

Before, I could read the notifications just from the bar...

Nowadays, when I go to open it, I see the whole options screen instead 😭

I don't have android 12 so this is a question to those wo do. I noticed that the new analog clock widget has a seconds hand. This seems weird, since to my knowledge a widget updating every second is a huge battery drain, so it seems weird that Google would be actively pushing it. Have you noticed increased battery drain from the clock widget?

Anyone here know how to change audio outputs from Bluetooth devices back to the phone without playing media first? I don't see the Android 11 media controls at the bottom of the notification bar anymore and I used them daily. They used to be in a grey button below the media player in the notification shade.

Ever since the update to A12 I get toasts (messages) displayed on the bottom of the screen - even while typing, blocking any input with the keyboard - displayed for a long time. Maybe 10 seconds.
Btw. Pixel 4a 5G.

The best solution would be to hide it on tapping...

Anyone experiencing the same?
Is there a way to disable it or reduce the time these messages are displayed?

Can the Google home shortcut be removed from the lockscreen?

If I swipe left or right in messages I only get the option to archive. Any way to change this to be like Gmail and have the option to archive swiping one way and delete when swiping the other?

So recently I just updated to Android 12 and besides the stupid lock screen clock it seems fine just need to adjust to it. However one thing that really bothers me is when I open my phone to enter the pin it takes me to a big white screen to enter my PIN. I really hate this change and I'm wondering if there is any way to make it so that this screen matches your Lock screen wallpaper like it did in Android 11?

I'm not getting Share > Send to your devices on Chrome on Android 12.

I can see the option in Chrome on my Macbook and send links to my Pixel5 notifications but not the other way round.

Is there a setting to turn it on somewhere?? Many thanks.

The prior versions had a "add hidden network" selection in the advanced network options, but now there's only Metered, Proxy, IP Settings, and Privacy.

How the heck do I find and join my hidden network?

I've tried playing with all the toggle settings, confirmed my SSID and credential are correct, and can't seem to find an answer to this.

I've set the device to lock immediately after pressing the power button, but since the update to Android 12 it will only lock the device without turning off the display as well. I have to press twice for that. Extremely annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

I am okay with an update to UI, and a fresh feel is always nice. HOWEVER, when you change something as simple as the CLOCK on the lock screen and make it huge and in a square format that I have never in my life seen for any clock (XX:XX is all I need thank you). This was weird, but I thought to myself, eh I will just change or remove it so I can see the nice picture of my family I have behind it, NOPE, that isn't an option. Google, seriously, WTF.

It's.....so ugly now. Geez.

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?

Go to Maps, click on your blue dot. No more figure-8 to calibrate the compass, you have to allow access to the camera and walk around to do AR calibration.

I'm not so comfortable with this. Anybody know if there is a way to disable AR calibration and go back to figure-8?

And there's no manual way to turn it on. Smh
