So more like the old way which was more functional. Good. Also while they’re at it if they could bring back the single tap toggle for Bluetooth but long press to connect devices, I’d like that. This way sucks.
While speaking on Bluetooth toggle, I find it very annoying that in order to toggle it, you have to unlock the phone. I.e. when phone locked, you click the button, then get prompted for unlocking, then the phone is unlocked and the Bluetooth toggled. In such case, the phone should stay locked after the prompt and only toggle the functionality
Seriously, I just want to disconnect my headphones to connect them to my PC. It’s easier now to just turn them off and on again, hoping my PC is quicker with pairing.
This is my literal gripe lol. Phone to PC. So frustrating.
This is a good point. I used to use it all the time without unlocking my phone. Now it’s just annoying.
Could it be a security measure, to stop others from enabling it on your locked device, since enabled bluetooth might be a weakness security-wise?
All I was saying it should keep your phone locked after the BT was toggled
Yeah, I just re-read your comment. I see now that mine didn’t really answer to what you actually said - sorry for that.
I agree with you, though. Unlocking the screen is useless when the user only wanted to quickly toggle a mode of connectivity or such.
Gosh that bluetooth button annoys me still. It was working fine and they changed it… why?
The same reason they always do. Because reasons.
I miss how customizable old android was, then google comes in hot with material-u all like “we brought you customization”. No, no you did not.
I HATE material you. Why did the buttons need to move? Heck, they just moved the search field from the top of the play store to inside a new tab at the bottom.
