Iāve been using the Android 14 Beta for a while now so nothing really new to me for now, but what I liked since the beta is that the battery life got better.
The ability to give apps permissions on a per-file basis is also cool, although it made some apps unusable probably because they arenāt supporting that right now (but maybe that changed or will change soon now that the stable release is out).
So what are the changes you noticed the most and which ones do you like or hate so far?
Wish the clocks for home screen were better designed :( thereās a lovely rounded one but for some reason it goes horrible and slim upon locking
In developer options you can enable āPredictive back animationsā buried towards the bottom. It doesnāt work anywhere except the settings app (yet) and some Google apps when back would take you to the launcher.
P6 and all I noticed was the lock screen customizations. Everything else feels exactly the same.
I feel like they have tweaked the haptics, could just be my imagination. There are a few little visual things like the change to the numbers when inputting your PIN.
My pixel stand works again, so Iām over the moon with it.
I have one from like 5 years ago. It works with my Pixel 5. Iām getting the 8 so I hope it works with that too
From everything I could gather, there was some sort of issue that broke the pixel stand in Android 13 for some users. It would still connect, but not charge. All other wireless chargers I had worked fine. I did the usual delete data and cache, pair and setup again, reboot, etc. Once Android 14 installed, itās been back to normal functionality for me.
Still waiting for calyx to do the update. Honestly, I doubt much will really change for me.
