I have battery solo widget which shows on my home screen. I've just double checked and it's showing the same as the new battery feature (but solo is still better cos it's nice n big and obvious on my home screen).

Yeah, mine seems to correspond, but like yours, Battery Doctor is more noticeable (ie. bright green)

Now, although I have torch on another thingy, where's yours?

If you swipe down and press the icon furthest to right hand side it brings up a new screen with wifi connection, Bluetooth, mobile provider, aeroplane mode, auto-rotate, flashlight (yay), location and cast screen (which I think is the one for adding a nearby device)

Didn't it have a torch button before then?

Won't be needing that as already have a torch icon on a toolbar

If it did, I hadn't found it. I'll remember where this one is, so I'm pleased with that. I don't really have many apps, and the ones I do have I don't use much :D
Click to expand...

But can you put it on the home screen so it's easier to find rather than having to swipe down to get it?
 
cesare said:
My homescreen's full so I would have to swipe to get to it anyway.

I've got to the point where I'm not sure what's part of the phone and what's a separate app :oops::D

This is what I have. The Battery Doctor's a much nicer colour than this new one, so I won't bother with the new one

Mine looks really different to that! I don't really know how to change what go where on mine beyond that thing of moving shortcuts around by using the iPad-type feature at the bottom :oops:

Nor do I. Most of it's totally beyond me, as is that IPad-type feature at the bottom. I have no idea what you're talking about :oops::D

That above isn't my home screen, that's on the lock screen thingy. Have you got your apps sorted into folders to give you more space or do you have millions of apps? :D

Yes, I've put some in folders. According to the install I have 137 apps but that sounds way more than I thought I had :hmm:

You can move the app shortcuts from screen to screen by using the bottom holding menu, I don't know what it's called.

Think I had 150+, definitely more than I realised. Probably use about 10% of them :D

I've no idea what the bottom holding menu is. :hmm::confused: You can just drag an app from anywhere on the screen to another screen
 
Just tried the calendar app, it's complete fucking arse. Utter load of cack.

I hate the general colours and layout of the update.

It's pretty shit over all tbh. Meh :(
 
I love it overall, but yes the calendar app sucks arse. It's very pretty. And quite useless. Matter of fact, I think the calendar is the only thing that's really bothered me. Not a fan of the minimalist home buttons, but that I can live with.

I had a better look at it and decided it's still shit, other than the schedule bit which gives you an immediate view, so I'll stick with my other one.

On a different note, is there a hidden caller reject button I don't know about? I've had two PPI calls today. One had a number, the other didn't. I listed the number one under PPI SCUM, so I can ignore it in future. I know there's other Caller Reject apps, but I can't be arsed, so wondered if there was one hidden that I don't know about
 
Switched it on this morning and the whole screen started flashing. Had to shut it down. That's never happened before
 
Update is pissing me off. A while ago someone phoned me and I had to pick Option 1. Couldn't figure out how to get back to the number dial pad and ended up missing the call :mad:

Last night before I went to bed, I decided I didn't want it on silent overnight so tried to turn the volume button up, but wasn't able to. Think it wanted me to take it off the priority setting, but I'm not sure. Will have to try again tonight, or just take the priority mode off completely. It's not like anyone rings me in the middle of the night anyway, but don't want to be woken up early by PPI/Accident Insurance scum either :mad:
 
I've got used to it pretty quickly and I'm liking it. But I don't use calendar and I just let calls go to voicemail if I don't want to answer them, so maybe it's just a case of what works for the individual.

Well the one I wanted to answer, I answered fine, but I just couldn't get to the phone keypad to hit option 1. I'm sure I'll figure it out in time
 
Mid call, if you look at the screen there's a little line of icons in the top blue bit, one of which (middle iirc) is the keypad. Hit that then the keypad pops up and you can choose option #

I had the same issue :)
 
cesare said:
Mine swipes to answer, I don't get any options. Is yours a Nexus 4?
Click to expand...

Yes, the answering is not the problem, it was getting to the telephone keypad in the middle of the call I was having trouble with. Before I used to just press the middle button to get back to the main screen and hit the telephone icon and the keyboard would come up, but just had trouble this time. Won't be able to tell what I was doing wrong (or not seeing) until it happens again. Maybe it's because the phone was locked so it was bringing up all the recently viewed apps. I don't know :hmm:

My keypad icon's at the bottom of the screen :hmm: (at the moment). Not sure where it is when I've got a phone call coming in. Will ring it and see
 
ah right, I see it now. Fuck sake, it's a bit small and not very noticeable innit! That's shit :mad:

I don't even know why they feel the need to disappear the keypad mid call anyway. Why can't it just be left there? :confused:
 
I will Google shortly but how do I get alarm to sound whilst on silent. Compromising at the moment by using vibrate.
 
twentythreedom said:
Exactly :mad: change for change's sake, down with that sort of thing etc :mad:

There are numerous little irritants tbf
Click to expand...

There are. Whilst I like the recently opened apps with the little x in the corner making them like windows, they look messy, and I think it was this mess of open apps that prevented me seeing what I was doing

Don't like the new white keyboard either, with even smaller characters (or am I imagining that?)

Does this not happen automatically? My N5 is permanently on silent and my alarm wakes me up every day. I don't think i changed any settings.
