Agreed. Up to ~8 were good times. After that, meh.

This is probably the least exciting Android "update" to date, for me at least. These are basically all just options that could've been added with regular updates. Charging to 80% is nice tho. Hate the new, Apple-like, default bluetooth setting (thank god that you can turn that off, although it doesn't look good for the future...)

Poor updates (policy), overpriced for the specs. I mean, 400-500 for a phone with a SD695 and 60hrz? Come on... Such a shame, because they are the only ones with a screen without a punchhole/camera cutout...

I guess Settings App -> System -> Feedback. But i think this is an OS feature request (like Jet in the other comment said), which is being handled by the manufacturer of the device you're using instead of the actual AOSP. I'm not sure where you can leave feedback for AOSP, if that's possible at all. Hope someone else can add that here.

Go to settings -> apps -> the app you want the restriction gone -> the 3 dots top right

I think you can turn it off there. It is an extra security layer design by Google, because without that restriction and with the access turned on, the app can see pretty much all your touches and swipes, notifications and whatnot throughout the system etc. Edit: spelling

I hope that Google releases more tablets and give landscape orientated designs a little more love, something that is currently falling behind by many many apps (many don't have that options at all). That could really make a difference once they DO decide to implement desktop mode.

Maybe they could experiment with some forced landscape mode or something? (If that does already exist, let me know because Nothingphone has removed homescreen rotation for no reason).

I would like to see that coming more to smartphones anyway. Phones are so big these days, landscape mode gets really comfortable because of it IMO.

Why is it the best? Why does it stand out? Why do you recommend it? A little more info etc would make this post seem much less like an invasive ad... Edit: this as reply to you comment: why the downvotes

While i agree and support a lot with what you are saying / trying to do, i'm not sure this is the right way to reach people. I'd say keep your blog going, but try find some nicer words and images and such (not the Anonymous kind of stuff..). The content comes off a little... strange (the word 'cringy' in the other comment was kinda wellplaced too), i hope you anderstand.

And i'm afraid most people won't be reached at all unless other ROMs are more (easier) available, like being pre-installed on devices you buy in stores.

Wished i could be of help in any way, i like your intentions and input!

 

After i got my Fairphone back from the repaircenter (they thought there was something wrong with it), they told me it was an intended design. However, i see other people mention they don't have it.
