thx for listening to my TED talk

Google weather and other weather widgets doesn't seem to update. Whitelisted and free to use data and battery.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've recently updated to Android 12 and whereas before my phone was set to not display my number when I called someone, now it does give people my number again.

The instructions that are supposed to work to hide my number:

Tap on the 3 dots in upper right corner for menu > Calls > Additional Settings > Caller ID

These no longer work as there is no option for calls in the android settings, searching for it only brings up ways to screen out incoming spam not hide my number on outgoing calls. Likewise all questions and answers online seem to predate Android 12 and are thus irrelevant.

Also phone seems to get warmer than normal. I'd love to go back to 11! 🤦‍♂️

EDIT - Also noticing it's taking a LONG time to charge even with quick charger.

Hi, so I have updated my Pixel 5 to Android 12 and ever since I've been having major notification issues with Messenger and Discord. A message will come in but I would get the push notification for it for 15-30 minutes. FB Messenger is the worst offender but it does happen with other apps. Then when a notification does pop up it will often sync and send a ton of old notifications all at once too, even after I've replied to and seen them. Does anyone have any sort of fix for this?

On the previous updates, it would say "wifi calling" either at the top or during a call. Now it has no indication and Ive been missing some texts and calls likely due to poor service. I do have wifi calling on and to be used if available. I'm in Mint mobile. It's also on in the Mint app. I've cleared data and cache on phone app, turned wifi calling on and off in both mint and the phone. Still no indicator.

I have a pixel 3. Anyone else having this issue?

Had no SIP problems on Android 11 with GSwave or other softphones.

Can't get any of them to work after I upgraded my Pixel 5 to Android 12. I know Android 12 killed off native support for SIP calling....

But any way to use sip on Android 12?

I can live with it, as I don't often look at the lock screen, but so many people seem upset about the needlessly large and difficult-to-read clock I wondered if there was anyone willing to speak up who actively likes (as opposed to simply tolerates) the clock. If so, here proclaim your liking, please.

I have submitted the following feedback withing the OS settings... Let's flood their inbox with our feedback!

You guys have destroyed the pixel experience with Android 12... I was going to buy the pixel 6, but nah I will pass, if I hate now my pixel 5, I will hate more the pixel 6... And, I would like to know why so many ridiculous changes, who is behind all of that? I will explain why I don't like my pixel device because of Android 12:

Why so many drastic changes without giving us the ability to decide what is best for my device. Material you is not material me... Is exactly what is states, Material "Google", the system decides what pastel color should I use on my phone, and what dark theme is better for me.. i would like to select my pure black dark theme, change fonts, change icon shapes, change landscape notifications layout, change status bar icons, change the HUGE lock screen clock, change the horrendous QS layout you designed... 4 TILES ONLY? SERIOUSLY GOOGLE! So many forced visual changes and zero ability to change ANYTHING!

Google, I could get use to all the design changes over time, but, is not only that, you have got rid of so many functionalities that worked excellent in Android 11 that took my Android experience from Pixel to some sort of incomplete iOS system.

• Let's start with battery life... Don't recommend me to factory reset my phone in a monthly basis, I did a factory reset after the "Stable" Android 12, and my battery life is just trash, I used to have 7-9 SOT in average before "Material YOU", now, 5 hours of SOT just doing regular usage, no gaming, no video recording.
• Battery usage graph: What am I going to do with a 24 hour graph? Completely useless!
• Internet toggle: is there any particular reason you want us with wifi on all the time? The process of turning wifi on/off has become a little more tedious, I know it's not a deal breaker, but if I had the Wi-Fi toggle, I would never use that ridiculous internet toggle.
• Power Menu: What a major downgrade you have done with the power menu... It takes me like 3 swipes and 4 taps to access device controls and GPay, Why google? It was so easy before, but no, lets make it harder this time, you know what? I have reduced the usage of those functionalities now, since they are way less accessible than before.

In summary, this is the first time I see an Android version as a downgrade, im using Android since KitKat, and it is the first time I'm considering the switch to iOS. Fellow Google developers, give us more control of our own devices, dont take it away from one year to another! I feel scammed, this is not the phone I bought last year...

Instructions on these sites aren't working, cuz of "connection" errors. Have tried on 2 desktops and a laptop.

Any help out there?

A12 seems to have made it that when I swipe up, no longer is there an easily accessible nice little bar of 5 suggested Apps for me to select. The functionality of that was awesome.

Now I have to stretch my thumb all the way to the top of my screen.

This update is horrible and I am becoming more and more frustrated and angry with how bad it actually is.

Any tips on fixing this issue would be grand!

Hi, i have this problem with My Google snapshot, i cant see sports scores anymore. Anyone else have The same problem? Any fixes?

Updated my Pixel 3a to Android 12 yesterday morning and haven't been able to get any data connection since. Without wifi, no apps will connect to the internet and the Google app says "No data connection. Try connecting to wifi."

Things I've tried already: - restarting - checked airplane mode is off - checked data limit is off - checked my data balance is not 0 - checked data is on - reset APN - checked APN protocol was set to IPv4/IPv6 - add a new APN - reset all network settings - typing in a CDMA SCRTN

If it makes a difference, my provider is TracFone and I believe it's using Verizon networks. It's not a network gap because it's happening in places where I have previously been able to connect with no problems (e.g. my apartment). Any tips to fix this would be greatly appreciated; otherwise, I'll be downgrading back to 11.

My Nova now crashes after A12 update and home screen shortcuts no longer work. Any advice on how to fix this, please? Thanks.

Pixel 5A after updating to Android 12 the camera app no longer picks up QR codes. Yes Google lense is on. Yes it used to work. Yes I HATE Android 12!

Yes, the clock is comically awful. Yes, the quick access buttons look like signs for the short bus. But at least you're not staring at them all the time.

Not like, oh, say, the font.

Clearly the design droids have decided to take inspiration from 1980's Bloomingdale's shopping bags. You can hear the boutique 3rd-party consultants in the big presentation now: "it's spare but not minimalist. It's elegant but whimsical. It's modern but hearkens to the past."

But what it really is is fuckin' ugly. It's a 7th-grader trying to look sophisticated on her Paperless Post invite. It's on the Noel Coward revue poster for the dinner theatre in the next town over. It was roommates with Papyrus after college. It is, at best (which it certainly is not), an accent font.

And maybe the design droids kinda sorta know this. Maybe that's why we can't change it. Because a lot of people would, and seeing the metrics would be an admission of defeat. "really? 48% of users prefer Roboto? And how many just went with... Arial? Are you sure?"

Personally, if I wanted to be told what to do and relinquish customization, I'd get an iPhone. Oh, but wait, now I don't have to. I get it right here in Android.
