I refuse to bite into Eve's fruit.
Good luck in your search.

They’re both “Eve’s fruit”, let’s face it. Two of the largest hoodwinkers in the universe.

I have concluded that Google has no interest in fixing the Trusted Devices feature, not fixed in A12, and has never worked since its inception.

Annnnd Trusted Places still doesn't work either! What a joke...

What doesn't work for you with Trusted Device? I have numerous Bluetooth devices set as trusted and they keep my phone unlocked.

I have a Sony Bravia Android TV, it is recognized by my phone and the TV recognizes my phone. The Trusted Devices setting will not connect with it at any point. I have made sure to follow the steps to help but still will not connect as a trusted device. I have a tablet that also will not connect as a trusted device.

Somehow, go rid of the small temp in the upper left....

If you long press the At A Glance widget and then tap Customize you get into the Home Settings and can customize what appears in the widget.

Works for the manually-added widget in the middle of the screen but not for the redundant one in the top left that can't be removed. Annoying for sure.

You should have the Customize option when Google enables it server side. It took a server side update for the options to appear

I have the Customize option when long pressing the top left widget, but it only controls the manually added widget. Does yours control both? Shouldn't need both...

Which manually added widget? The one on the to left is the new At A Glance and that's what is customized in Home Settings

Exactly!
I have already tried that, and that is how the temp was removed; but day/date remains. IT'S A BUG!

See RETG's screenshot above. The widget in the middle is manually added like other widgets by long pressing the home screen. The customize settings control that but the at a glance in the upper left that can't be removed - it only shows the date.

From this article: If seeing the weather on your home screen is something you're missing, downloading the latest Google beta APK should do the trick.

The At A Glance widget cannot be removed. It is supposed to show date, weather and other key information. It's supposed to have sliders that control what you want to see. That's the part that's broken, the customize options do not appear for some people,yet. But you can't remove the stock At A Glance widget.

Understood that it can't be removed. There is also an AAG widget you can manually add that has all the info and it's working properly. The customize option for the manual widget is accessed through the stock AAG widget long press. Sliders are there probably exactly as you are seeing on yours, they just control the wrong widget.

I'm not surprised since tapping the date in At A Glance opens Weather. It was all fine in Beta 5 and then broken in the stable release.

Would it be sacrilegious if I said I should have stayed on Android 11? Seriously, not much on 12 that I would want to keep. Or miss for that matter.

If it is a sacrilegious; I'll join the church (a first for me). I wish they would allow you to go back, at least for six or more months, till the bugs are fixed or they give you back some control over the looks. This is by no doubt, for me at least, the worse OS update on Android.
