I admit, Android phones could be great if they were refined, settings organized, touchscreen offset and calibrated, and applications made for it weren't lazy copies from iPhone riddled with malware, but unfortunately that isn't the case, also multiple restrictions, no control over application permissions and self-changing options are the most annoying part of Android.
Good luck removing that malware that cant be removed, installing antiviruses that don't do a thing, setting the screen time-out to "Never" or taking emergency school work pictures when your Android is at 10% battery, or asking for support on forums wasting hours of your life.
Me I'm done, parents and grandparents all been switched to iPhones, all problems suddenly disappeared, nobody is bothering me to fix their phone anymore :good:
All phones are encrypted and protected with 20 character passwords, yet unlocked in split second. (Granted, you can have that too, if you choose to encrypt aka marry SD card to your phone forever, but 99% of you wont take that chance, so setting any passwords is a pointless exercise.)
I'll hang around to answer some questions if anyone has gotten any.
lol...I'd like to post a "coolstorybro.jpg" meme but that would be rather rude for my part...instead I will close this thread and go back to watching my stories on TV....

The red squiggles show where I think a clue could be placed to show there are more items in the list. It could be an arrow key or any standard method of indicating there are moe things out of view. The red and green arrows are just possible alternatives. The programs touch flo screen could do with the same as it is not OBVIUOS there are more items to be seen.
A nice silver triangle button that fades when there are no more items would be cool.
Some may ask why I suggest this interface usability tweak (in any format). Good question.

Hmmmm......after using TF3D or even READING THE MANUAL it is obvious that there are more items to display.....
Don´t need an arrow in e.g. the contacts application to remind me that there is more than just one page.......but then again, that´s just me.......
BTW: I´ve long turned off TF3D for a less funky but faster and more usable interface.....
But
RTFM and learning are not available to the people who are not 'lovers' of the technology.
They pick it up, look at it, and don't enquire..
Many business users are almost or over, half a century old.
They wouldn't see the value of XDA Developers, etc.

If anyone, for any reason, does not read the manual of the device, they don't deserve to use its full potential.

One of my favourite apps is Tasker which allows me to automate parts of my phone. For instance, I get in the car, it turns on GPS, Bluetooth and it starts up my SatNav software. You can find it here.
From the day I had the app, the one glaring problem with it was the UI. It's stuck back in Gingerbread times and a lot has changed since then.
I recently saw a shared post on Google+ from Roman Nurik which showed various mockups of Android apps with a new UI. This made me realise Tasker seriously needs an update and I know exactly how it should look using the Holo design whilst retaining the original layout.
So here it is, my Tasker redesign. I'll be honest, I pictured what this looked like in my head, so I sat down, opened Photoshop and 40 minutes later I had designed something I thought worked great. It's the very first design so could probably do with some community input and refining. Let me know your thoughts.
Original post was from my Google+ Page, however figured I would share it with you here as well as I appreciate not everyone is on Google+

would be awesome! tasker is the best android app ever, but it looks like crap. well, the focus of the app is clearly getting stuff done, but a little bit for the eye wouldnt hurt
I am very excited. I really think it's a special phone, at least from a first glance. The phones that Samsung, Apple, LG, and others put out year after year are all.. carbon copies of one another. I always choose an outsider if I have the option for anything outside of the mainstream - you know, especially if everyone has it.
I had HTC m8 when Samsung ruled Android all alone. Than I opted for OnePlus when I broke my HTC.. because, why not right? Cheap, and as good as the twice as expensive ones.
Anyway!!
That was probably the main reason I decided to go with Pixel. On top of guarantee of getting new Android OS probably before anyone else, I also like the lack of a company skin, and bloatware. I mean root does take care of that but you shouldn't need to root to get rid of apps from a device that you OWN.
When I get it, hoping the order process goes without a hitch, I will write my first impressions here.

I didn't spend much time on the forum but from a few reviews I read.. it seems pretty mixed. Some hate it, others love it. Care to enlighten me, please?
Greatly appreciate any effort to that question..
Cheers, Amer

Any way you know how to clear the notifications? I don't have any new ones, but this just won't disappear. Constantly says 10.
I may have not posted, but I've watched this forum get more and more bloated and harder and harder to navigate over the last maybe 4 years. It's almost terrible trash now. Every page has an ad you must clear at the bottom, search is and has been borked for a couple years, just better to search the forums using Google, no longer is the forums laid out in a tree, it's just here you go find your own way around.
Anyways, thanks man.

Weird lol
Hello there.
I am still rather new to android but understand some things. For example, I have note 10 pro with Arrow OS installed on it. Wanted it for privacy (thanks xioami, had to give them all details to unlock bootloader, woops) and get rid of bloat.
I have noticed on my last charge that microg services seem to be running. Which seems odd to me as I have disabled it (from settings app), and don't have many apps which need it. (ones which do are disabled also)
So my question is, what could be cause for it using 33℅ battery?! And where can I get further logs to understand what's going on.
If I'm running 33℅ on service I don't use, then that could be extra day or 2 for me not charging.
Pictures for reference

Here's just showing its run as a background app.
Sorry for noob first question, with full ambiguity. Please be gentle
I have come to realise that I may have disabled it, but I have rebooted my phone a few times so it probably would re-enable.
Question still stands, can I get further logs to understand why its using 33%? Thanks
Try investigate further with betterbatterystats (grab it from xda or play store). Grant any permissions that requires (root isn't mandatory). In my old experience with microg, it might be caused by the cloud messaging service, try to increase the ping intervals to 10 minutes or greater. But your case might different.
