Android 12 Beta 4 Features, Bugs, and Fixes.

[Deleted member 2609113]

I'm going to have to say that as far as my experience with the Beta 4.1 patch I have absolutely no complaints. As far as I'm concerned it is bug free....so far.

I can say the same, so far everything is really smooth and working very well. Haven't found any issues.

yeah, I agree with you on that one. Beta 4.1 I don’t see really any other major issues at all… other than what we’ve all reported at least…

I also have to add that battery life has been much improved. With all the work calls I've had on my phone (always a big battery drainer), along with my normal usage, it would normally be in the upper 50 to lower 60 percentages. Right now it is at 72%. Not bad Google.

I just got 1 day 4hrs and 23mins with 6 hours and 28 mins SoT with 18% left. So I am happy with battery life on 4a 5G. I do keep it on 4G only as there is no 5G in our area. Never had a phone with a battery this good before.

Yeah it is a radical change from precious versions of Android. But I like it.

I think that's why it's a little buggier, a lot more going on than just the steady refinements of the past. I'm excited to try the first new change in direction for Android...instead of watching other folks get it and have to wait a year or two to try it That's one of the reasons I'm a big pixel fan

So, I used to keep my screen with DP settings and developer settings at 597 exactly That would force the UI of the phone of the operating system to be the smallest without going into tablet form. However, sometimes I really let that it was frustrating to interact with some portion of the operating system and apps because things go smaller than designed to be I guess. I googled yesterday with the correct screen with DP settings for a 5 inch screen size would be and it said 480 DP. So, I set my screen back to 480, this what it looks like. It's actually a lot more interactive, less frustrating and more useful to use. I just wanted to share this with everyone.

Me too. Missed the A11 beta but made sure I had the 4a 5G in time. Although I am seriously considering getting a 6 Pro in 2022. Give my son this phone as he is rocking my pre-order 2xl.

I told you, but see for me I might Pixel 3 XL, Android 10 and 11 betas were a lot buggier even in the middle stages of the program that Android 12 is included for example Android 10 and 11, Android auto family work in my car. When it works, performance was buggy as hell and really frustrated using a daily basis. And I reported to Google Home this time.

Thought I would check with y'all to see if you think this is a bug. When I'm in Assistant Driving Mode, and a message from Google Messages comes through, the bubble shows over top of the Google Maps layout. It should be showing up within the Assistant Driving Mode, toward the bottom of the screen. Attaching a screenshot now

I'm thinking I have to turn off bubbles to get the messages to work properly in Assistant Driving Mode.

All the bubbles that pop-up on my screen are always on the top left.

Here come I've been reading on 9 to 5 google.com that Google is replacing the on phone Android Auto app with Google Assistant driving mode. Sounds like a good move.

For me, I think the bubbles just show up wherever I last left them.

I think I may have read an article recently that Google may be about to abandon the bubble concept. I'll see if I can find it.

Yes, it's nice except that your have to have Maps running to use it. Technically, you didn't need to have a location set in maps in Android Auto. Also, your music player is a little more limited in small view, only has a next button. It does show more in full player mode.

Yeah looks pretty differently to me too. Honestly, I have Android Auto in my car so I won't really ever be using this feature, but it looks pretty cool.

We used it to go to my mum last week. We were playing radio as well as using maps and it was great having the little window at the bottom.

I actually use it all the time. I appreciate seeing the speed limit continuously, and updates on potential delays are priceless.

Just turn the Bubble notifications off.
