Android 10 upgrade regrets?

It's been a while since Android 10 was released. Now that everyone has had a chance to really get into it, do you wish that you were back on 9?

It's been a while since Android 10 was released. Now that everyone has had a chance to really get into it, do you wish that you were back on 9?

I've been putting together a list since I got Android 10 on January 14th.

Rants:
1. Clunkier animations.
2. Freezes/pauses a lot.
3. Multiple touches required at times to register.
4. Apps visibly crash a lot more often Google Docs).
5. DND will turn on at the scheduled time, but will not turn off at the scheduled time if it is toggled manually sometime in between.
6. Good Lock unit apps are missing and family apps are buggy.
7. Don't care much for gestures at this point. Nova's + Good Lock (one hand +) are good enough for me (if they work 100%).
8. Gcam doesn't exit properly. Force stop required.
9. Task switcher: Clunky. Drops frames every single time.
10. Removed 3rd party app access to data usage by SIM card (in dual SIM phones)
11. Heads-up notifications cannot be expanded in place anymore.
12. Setting custom tones is more convoluted. They do not appear under media storage, even after using them once.
13. Out-of-region Samsung Pay MST payments still don't work.

Raves (Improvements):
1. Sharing menu speed
2. Camera viewfinder has toggle button for motion pictures.
3. Multiple wallpapers are back.

Never ever I wish to go back to an older version

Need the update day one asap and always have loved new updates (it's like candy for kids). Till now not regretted updates on any of my phones for over a decade

I think point 8 is hilarious....

 

[me just saying]

no differences for me. use smart launcher and don't use gestures. guess I really did not need the update.

If your on a carrier Snapdragon can go back to Android Pie with Odin process.

At this point it isn't worth doing it now

I was missing Good Lock/Navistar so much that I did downgrade to Android 9/Pie. Good Lock apps really complete my setup. Only thing with downgrading is that you have to do a factory restore. OS 10 has too many different files & won't allow you to downgrade using Odin without restore. Not easy like just downgrading some firmware because even with a backup I still had a lot to re-set up. Looks like Navistar won't come with the initial Good Lock 2020 update.

No. I love the native dark mode. Now I don't have to use the PixelizeD theme anymore.

I also love dark mode. It's nice to be able to use it automatically when the sun sets and not have to use special themes.

Android 10 has been about perfect for me. Looking forward to getting Good Lock back, but other than that, it's been great. I was amazed at that laundry list of items in the post above. Other than Good Lock missing, I've had none of those issues. I realize some items are just personal preference though.

I actually prefer One UI 2 to the Pixel version of Android 10. Never thought I'd say that even though I've been a Samsung user for years.

Still waiting on the update on xfinity on an unlocked device from Samsung.

 

[srgonu]

No regrets here. Everything is much better and smooth. Just waiting for good lock.

I have no regrets just that the animations could be worked on to be more smooth and better haptic feedbacks.

For me it's been an improvement since last version.. the dark mode is a nice feature..small small additions like share data when i use the app permission is also a security feature..overall i see a better performance though there are few issues which are manageable and not too much to point..10 has been a thankful update
