[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackrob183:
Looks like I restarted this thread lol.

Anyway yea I updated as well, but I have issues too but I don't think as bad as CALEB3. My issues are more with the new layouts of everything and how everything works now, I think more so annoying than anything else. I will list my annoyance/issues here:

Brightness - Always bright, which is good while awake but at night it's too damn bright and even with the yellow night light tint on its hardly noticeable because its so bright. I usually keep my phone dim to save on battery and I hate it being so bright most of the time like it's glowing and the auto brightness would sometimes get annoying because my hand would be over the camera and it would dim too dark a lot of times or being outside I would have to raise the brightness even with auto on. Now though the slider seems to move with the auto brightness and that is kind of annoying because I cannot manually control it if needed while on auto, but also good because it's keeping my phone brighter better when needed. So it mostly just sucks having it so bright at night or dark places when I wanna keep stealth lol.

Volume - Is now a small bar on the right side of the phone and only controls the media but sometimes randomly controls ringtone? This one is really annoying and confusing, first of all its too small to be able to have better volume control and only controlling media sucks and also has no drop down but sometimes the ringtone volume go up and down with it, weird. So if I want to change say ringtone I have to open up settings or if I want the volume up or down I can't tell if I have to hit it once or twice? I think it's twice meaning once to open the volume and then another to go up or down (again I think, it's hard to tell or randomly changes) where as before it was just up or down while the phone was on or off and something was playing. Also whenever I connect my phone to a charger it makes a loud connect sound when my media and ringtone are both low, so this is just auto set to loud with no way to change it?

Air Quality - The app now just shows the color icon and says Air quality in smaller letters with a big notification bar and doesn't say bad or anything. This seems more like an app update but none of these apps seem like they are going to update (or have they and I just haven't noticed?). Not a big deal but just makes it seem more pointless

*Edit* This might be fixed or working right idk

Home Page Swipe Up - I'm not sure if this is an android update or if this is just on the CAT but when you swipe up on the home screen to go to your apps it brings up the open apps and that's annoying because if I wanted those I would push the button for that. There's no need for that and just makes more steps to scroll to the apps and makes accidentally closing them all the more possible as well. Is this changeable at all?

*edit already*: I just closed my game trying to swipe up for apps while looking for more issues lol wtf who thought this was a good idea?

App - I had to delete Portal Sounds app (based off the Portal game) because it kept crashing, I know this is based on the android update itself mostly but sucks that I had to delete it because of that.

Data Saver - Turning on/off data saver now closes my game instead of just changing it with the game staying open why? I only do that because of a weapon in the game that vibrates the phone loudly and gets annoying at times (like at work ;) but now it closes the game. I'm not sure if this is just that game or if this is everything or if it's android or the phone doing it.

Also swiping to close an app changed, I think this is just the new android change but still annoying after getting used to the usual swipe to close an app. Also as far as battery goes I haven't noticed much change, it seems good for me still, CALEB3 the new update might have affected an app that you have that is making it drain? That would seem likely to be the reason since I don't seem to have any battery issues and cell signal always sucked for me so that didn't make mine worse lol. I don't think I ever get 4G anyway because it was an unlocked phone that's usually what happens to me. Does it change from the up/down bar icon to 4G or does it just add a little 4G icon? If it's the first then I don't think I ever get 4G, if it's the latter then idk.
