My pixel 8 throttles as soon as I’m not using WiFi if it’s warmer than 21°C outside… It hasn’t shown me any warning but it has randomly shut down before.

I’m starting to really dislike android. A lot. Material you isn’t picked up by anyone but Google and a few apps here and there.

Stock android is a joke, it barely works.

Pixel flavor android has been the same for three years only adding ai nonsense to the latest releases.

My pixel 8 has awful battery life and gets super hot on light use like, listening to music over Bluetooth.

How the fuck did we end up here. I want a redesign. I want a consistent redesign that doesn’t age as badly and quickly as any android design has. Everyone in the design community keeps glorifying material design over iOS but honestly iOS has aged way better than even the newest design of material you…

Yeah definitely I remember being totally fine watching YouTube videos on my phone speakers on my Nexus 6 and even my OnePlus 5t in the morning before school, but I have a hard time doing anything but tiktok on speakers nowadays, my p6 and my pixel 8 sound completely garbage…

Alright, perfect! The charging pad is also most convenient

I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn’t bloat again when it’s put of warranty like my P6 did…

But it still quick charges and gets pretty warm until it reaches 80% and then continues an hour before the alarm :/

Same… It should really be a default or a regulation… It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices…

Reception is awful. It is rare that I actually have a stable connection if I don’t have WiFi. I used my OP5t to check if it really is a device issue and yeah it is. This is only slightly better of I leave 5G on, which is an absolute battery killer.

The battery already barely lasts me a day. If I wake up really early for my standards, let’s say 6am, and I have to commute even just 30 minutes and I spend that time on my phone? Yeah I will have to charge again at like 3pm latest.

The finger scanner is so unreliable that I stopped using it at all. It kept locking my banking app, it never works on login, and even when it does work it never does so on the first try.

The camera produces over sharpened garbage. I have never seen images this heavily processed. I luckily found open camera as a replacement but it’s very outdated and not great to use. One upside of it is that instead of having the blue app icon break the material 3 theme on my home screen, I can hide it in the quick tiles…

Lock screen customizations too for me but yeah that’s it

Any next phone I will buy will have to last me more than 5 years minimum. So far the only phone that I can safely assume to do so is whatever the latest Fairphone will be when my pixel 6 dies.

This phone as aged like milk.

My previous one, the OnePlus 5T did last me 5 years. And I want to repeat that.

A foldable won’t even last me half a year if I’m not careful about debris on the screen every single time I fold it.

They’ve shown up for me to later which made me uninstall sync and go back to jerboa

I keep forgetting boomer is an age group, it being the one my parents belong to…

To me, boomer is more of a mindset that ranges a lot. I know quite a few ppl my age with said mindset.

If I upset you by using this term in this negative manner I am sorry.

I`ve heard those system wide ad blockers got people blocked on other apps that have ads like tiktok or instagram… while I try not to use them as often and switch to fediverse platforms over time, 99% of my social interactions sadly happen on those corperate owned platforms still

This is so far out of my interest of browsing habits I really doubt it. Unless the ad purposefully misuses the tagging system (or whatever ads use for the algorithm) this has to be random

Absolutely not.

I’m way more tired of the designs before it, or the apps halfway into the design language but not really. Especially if it is to the point where just using the material you colours you have seperates it, signal comes to mind there for example.

Some apps can keep their design layout but please let me use my material you colours anyways

I really hope alpha or beta is available soon because the current apps are really lackluster sadly…
