This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

I Fucking Hate It!

I don't like it, but I like it more than the old way of holding the button down to get to the menu. I do hate that the "see all" menu doesn't just expand the current menu, it takes you to the old menu. There's definitely hints of windows95 creeping into Android.

I think however this is just based on how the average user interacts with this toggle. Very few users actively turn off their BT, ever, as they have frequent situations where they want their BT to just work immediately.

OTOH, this means that in some cases, they need to swap which device to connect to, hence opening the menu on the first tap.

this entire quick actions shade was redesigned either for children or for elders

the space now used for 4 quick actions could fit 12 quick actions before

They need to add a way to quick toggle it, maybe a double tap or hold.

I thought this was only on graphene, as a way to confirm your wanted Bluetooth radio turned on. As a general Android update, it makes no sense

This is part of why is think stock android is now trash. I'll stick to oem skins for now

[–] Ghostbanjo1949@lemmy.mengsk.org 2 points 8 months ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

[–] Pixel@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

You're not wrong, but you just reminded me to setup some Tasker events to manage my BT enabled state.

my phone does single tap to toggle and tap on the down arrow or longpress for settings page
