    Will 'swipe to dismiss' ever be made available in the Google Feed?

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 02:53 AM PDT

    Consider this a rant if you must. One of the things that made Google Now bearable was that you could swipe right to dismiss any notifications. This so-intuitive feature is not seen in the Google Feed now. Instead, you click on the three dots and select 'Hide this story'. Why so convoluted an approach? I wish we get the swipe back sometime in the near future.

    Adaptive brightness is no longer a battery enemy on Android 9 Pie?

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 06:43 AM PDT

    As we all know, this has been totally redesigned in the latest version of Android, with artificial intelligence that learns your brightness preferences.

    And I also realize that the option to toggle adaptive brightness in the battery settings (on Oreo) no longer exists. So, can we say that "this configuration consumes a lot of battery" is a thing of the past?

    If you have a problem with notification channels disappearing in apps (eg Spotify), it is a problem (possibly on Oneplus phones only) with apps which have implemented notification channels without actually targeting a minimum of Android Oreo

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 08:25 AM PDT

    Seeing as there currently is a post about some problems with Spotify, I'd like to tell this sub about what I'd found quite some time back on my OnePlus 5.

    Earlier when Telegram and Whatsapp introduced notification channels I was pretty hyped for them. However I'd noticed they would suddenly disappear for absolutely no reason. I never really understood why.

    At times, I'd use the app "AppChecker" to look at the TargetAPI for whatever apps I had installed. I saw that both Whatsapp and Telegram were targeting a version below Oreo and thought to myself "Huh, didn't know you could use features from later versions of android without actually targeting that API" and simply went about my way.

    Some time later, I noticed that notification channels were not disappearing anymore. When I checked Appchecker (purely by chance) I saw that they had targeted Oreo. I put two and two together and realised what had caused the problem. The post on the front page mentions Spotify -- if you look at the API level you'll see that it still targets Marshmallow.

    Why do I think it's a Oneplus problem? Well, I simply haven't seen on any of my other devices (please feel free to provide counter examples if you have any).

    What can apps do to fix this? Simplest thing to do would be to target the app to at least Android Oreo. With the deadline coming up for the Play Store I'd expect the problem to fix itself within the coming months.

    Also feel free to cross post this elsewhere where you think is relevant.

    Dark Mode and Night Light interaction

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 09:16 AM PDT

    With the introduction of dark mode with app updates like the new Messenger and upcoming Phone refresh, it would be great if Google could allow the individual app dark mode settings to recognize when you have Night Light enabled.

    If your Night Light is turned on from 9 PM to 6 AM, apps with individual dark mode settings should have a toggle where they will also adhere to these times, or just whenever you manually enable Night Light. If people don't want this functionality they just don't have to turn it on and they can manually turn on night mode in whatever apps they like.

    Reminder: There is no such thing as "Material Design 2.0"

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 02:29 AM PDT

    I still see a lot of posts on this subreddit that talk about "MD2", criticise it for having too much whitespace, etc.

    Although I personally agree with many of the critiques against Google's recent design language, it's important to realise that this language is not "Material Design 2.0". It is not supposed to be the "default" design language on Android, and Google does not want or expect other apps to adopt it.

    Instead, Google now prefers to talk about themed Material Design. For example, Facebook could create a Facebook-themed version of Material Design, and use this theme for its Android app. Amazon can design an Amazon-themed MD. Reddit can have a Reddit-themed MD. And so on. Google's recent redesigns are all using Google-themed Material Design.

    To see some examples of how Google expects other developers to implement this in practice, do a search for "material theming studies", and look through the different case studies on the Material Design website.

    See here for more detail: https://material.io/articles/how-google-created-a-custom-material-theme.html

    tl;dr - Google's recent app redesigns are not MD2, they are examples of "Google-themed Material Design". Google doesn't intend for other apps to adopt this same style.

    If you can not see your Android Backup, check if your old phone was still subscribed to the beta program

    Posted: 28 Aug 2018 09:14 AM PDT

    Hello There,

    Today I got my phone back from the repair service, and was not able to restore my backup because it was not in the list.

    After subscribing to the beta program I made a factory reset and was able to restore the phone...

    Talked with Google, they told me "of course" you can not install a backup from the beta program on a device that is not subscribed to the beta program...

    maybe this helps someone...
