  • Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps

  • The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

  • Right - I wasn't suggesting that it would fix the notification issue, just that it might give the previous commenter the Android environment they're looking for.

  • They're certainly losing interest in maintaining core Android, which is closer to what I meant. Everything you've described is within their Play Services environment.

    Some of what you've said is incorrect as well - I have a third party gallery that works just fine on my stock Pixel 8 Pro. Its access is just managed by a separate permission.

  • With the Pixel phones, there's GrapheneOS. It might be my go-to one day.

  • The default Android animation transition length is 300 milliseconds. The gesture based navigation uses this delay.

    The task switch button, for whatever reason, can interrupt this delay, making it as fast as I can tap, which is a lot faster than 300 milliseconds. In fact, this is what triggers the bug. I had to set the animation scale to 0 on my device just so it can keep up with me.

    Speed, time, and duration are not subjective measurements. I will accept that it's more comfortable for you, however.

    When your navigation preference breaks the Android animation duration because you're using it so quickly, get back to me.

  • I said it was subjectively better and objectively faster. And it is.

    Not everyone will agree faster is better, and that's fine.

  • You're the second person in this thread to try convincing me to switch.

    I use the app switcher constantly. I'm using it now to jump between my Lemmy client and YouTube. It works. It's fast. The back navigation also interferes with productivity apps, many of which still use a drawer. I use those apps constantly as well.

    Gesture navigation will never be a proper use case for me.

  • Gestures are not better for me and my situation. Please stop suggesting that I work against my better interests.

    They are objectively slower and less precise, just to start with.

  • Third party launcher and three button navigation?

  • I'll have issues after taking a screenshot and navigating back - I just get a non-responsive black screen sometimes except for the navigation buttons. Those are partially unresponsive, and I have to tap them chaotically to get rid of the black screen.

    I think the whole Android system navigation has been broken since Google started rolling it into the Pixel Launcher.

  • It depends on how often and how quickly you use the task switch button. I use it to rapidly switch between two apps frequently by double tapping the button and trigger it multiple times a day still. Google still recognizes it as an open bug.

    To note, this occurs with the three button layout, so the fact that you're not having a problem is expected.

    I'll only switch from the three button layout if I'm forced to. The gesture based navigation is slower and less precise.

  • It is not nearly a replacement for me.

  • It's been a constant thorn in my side on my Pixel 4 XL, my Pixel 6 Pro, and now my Pixel 8 Pro.

    I confirmed with a friend that it still occurs on her Pixel 9 Pro XL.

  • They still haven't fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

    It's a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won't be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

    From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

  • Not the person you're debating (and I'm on your side here), but what's up with all the revisionist history going on lately?

    "This thing you're arguing for was never the intent."

    Then what was the intent you dimwit?

    And they never have an answer aside from acting like it was some grave oversight that was only recently caught as a mistake.
