I'm super glad we have volume controls of notifications and phone separated again.

GrapheneOS Android 14 will be dropping this month. I don't know what new features there will be but looking forward to it

P6 and all I noticed was the lock screen customizations. Everything else feels exactly the same.

No major changes, which in my opinion is a good thing. I like the new lock screen customisation options.

What changed ?

Things I've noted:

• My news app now crashes on launch, making it useless. Goes to show what happens when you ignore repeated warnings about making your app compatible with the new OS update.
• At a glance can finally show both weather information and a notification at the same time. We finally have the technology!
• The back gesture indicator looks a little bit different. I have no strong opinions on it, maybe slightly better looking.
• The color scheme seems a little bit darker, maybe? Again, no strong opinions.

pretty boring, same as android 13 with some bug fixes and extra buttons in places

Is there any additional customization for the notification shade or does it still black out the entire screen below it?

I've also been on the beta. Overall Android doesn't seem to have really change though, aside from maybe better battery life and minor aesthetic changes.

Without dealing with side loading, is there a trick to force a pixel 6 to update OTA on Google Fi?

I know in the past you could clear the storage for certain Google services on the device and it would magically find an update that it claimed wasn't available 10 seconds prior. But I've been out of the game for a bit. Do those tricks still work? My Google Fi pixel 6 doesn't show an update is available and I'm still on 13. I've only tried rebooting and trying again so far.

Pixel 7 PRO here and seems that battery take more time to be discharged than in android 13

Is it my sensation or someone else has the same sensation?

I like it, seems more refined with some nice QoL tweaks.

The haptics are broken though. Swiping between recent apps has gone and sometimes pressing back it doesn't vibrate.

Nothing of value changed other than the lock screen customizations. What is nice about that is that it changes the always on display look too.

Still waiting for calyx to do the update. Honestly, I doubt much will really change for me.

Nothing I hate. I'm on a Pixel 5, so super outdated but will be making a leap for the Pixel 8 Pro. I think it's quick and snappy though. No real complaints here.

was really hoping it would fix the biometric settings bug introduced at the last update of 13 but apparently not

7a battery life seems to have improved somewhat.

In developer options you can enable "Predictive back animations" buried towards the bottom. It doesn't work anywhere except the settings app (yet) and some Google apps when back would take you to the launcher.

My pixel stand works again, so I'm over the moon with it.

I hope they keep this trend of releasing android updates with fixes / polish more than new functionalities. Especially the functionalities that put extra background services like when they released digital wellbeing.

In the battery menu It would have been nice if they added the standby time next to the screen on time. "Standby time since last full charge" something like that. Now you need to calculate it and it sucks.

Wish the clocks for home screen were better designed :( there's a lovely rounded one but for some reason it goes horrible and slim upon locking

I really like the Easter Egg game, it's fun trying to land on each of the bodies, tricky though.

Android 14 is what the quarterly feature drops should be.
