  • I really like Motorola phones but wanted to run Graphene. Unfortunately it’s a PITA to switch at this point. It will take a day or more to install Graphene and completely configure everything again. The other thing is Graphene is based off the original Android code and I expect most of the same bugs will exist there as well.

    Because of the lousy, beta quality software they release I’ve long thought Google employees never use their own products. For example the current version of Maps on the Pixel regularly switches to night mode during the day and won’t switch back, something that should never have made it past their internal beta tests if they actually used their own stuff. Interestingly the few Google employees I’ve known all use Iphones so it seems they hold the same opinion of Android that I do.


  • It happens on multiple Pixel 10s running Android 16 when an alarm goes off and the screen is not locked.

    If you slightly miss the “Stop” button on the alarm notification, that notification will sometimes disappear completely. There is then no way in the UI to stop the alarm and it just keeps getting louder - a real problem in public places. Probably killing the Clock app would do it but it’s easier to shut down the phone.

    There is laundry list of other serious bugs that have been a problem on multiple Pixels. A couple weeks ago one phone randomly switched time zones, another (not carrier related) known bug. We use our phones as clocks and it caused a missed appointment.

    I have an old Oneplus 6T running Android 11 and it is far more reliable.
