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…)
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.
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!
I agree. Sadly the Fairphone 5 is still running Android 13… A14 is “planned” to released this summer
Fairphone is dropping some balls when it comes to software. So much that in its current state, i can’t recommend the Fairphone 5 at all. Plenty of issues. They need to hire better developers/software designers and probably more of them too.
I’ve had contact since november, and only a few weeks ago (after i had to sent it to the repaircenter in France, i live in the Netherlands) they could tell me it was “an intentional design choice”; so the notificationbar would be more visible. I sent it to them because of the hue, because they first said; “it looks indeed suspicious”. So… Yeah…
Hmm… I understand why you say that. But the thing is, my Fairphone has been send to the repaircenter for this exact reason. I got the same one back because there was no fault present in the screen or phone.
The funny thing is, the same thing happened for other people:

Notice the guy saying: “oh, it actually shows up on a screenshot”? And i don’t see it there too. Edit: actually i do, but indeed much less then when taking a actual photo.
This is just weird man…
I’m not familiar (although these kind of things is what me made leave Moto), so i can’t help you with any information about it. However, why not trying ADB to remove Motorola bloat and see if the issue’s still there?
Man it is sad to see what has become of Motorola these days… Will probably never get another one if they continue the bloat and invasive software. How i loved my Moto G2 back then…
