I hate how notifications are handled. There's standard "Silent" setting - have to use a "priority" notification setting to make it silent.<br /> <br /> I don't mind notifications on the lock screen but I have the setting to hide private info (which hides who a message/email is from etc), that's all well and good but the fact it shows "private info hidden" just seems ridiculous, it doesn't need to say that.<br /> <br /> I have to force close a certain app twice a day (radio app that doesn't turn itself off when disconnecting from Bluetooth - though thinking about it I might be to do something with tasker) and it's more hassle to get to the app settings to kill it. Used to be able to tap-hold the app in the notification pull down or app switcher thing and you could go right to app settings.<br /> <br /> Having to swipe to get to the pattern unlock screen is a pointless gesture. <br /> <br /> I think I have some other issues too.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 16 Jan 2015 19:51 by ANT_THOMAS</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41363.8&return_msg=41363.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41363.8"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><div class="message"> Message 41363.9 was deleted</div> <a name="a41363_10"></a><div class="message" id="message_41363_10"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Wattsy (SLAYERPUNX)<span class="message_time">17 Jan 2015 20:15</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Jan 2015 22:09"></span></span> <span class="message_count">10 of 11</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41363.10">41363.10</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41363.1#a41363_1" target="_self">41363.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I have had it on my 2013 Nexus 7 for a while now and while there are some great new features and layouts I have had many slow down and unresponsive app problems (mostly in Chrome) My Nexus 5 had the same problem until I cleared the <a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/most-common-android-5-0-lollipop-problems-nexus-devices-how-fix-them-1478158">android cache partition</a> but it didn't work for my Nexus 7. <br /><br /> It's a step forward and very easy to pick up but I am struggling to see where they are going with Android.
