seriously, I really can't get over the fact that tickers don't show in full screen/expanded desktop mode. I mean, like if you're watching a video, and you get a notification, and it's on silent and there's no notification LED, it would make sense if the statusbar shows up and displays current ticker, wouldn't it? even if you get the vibration and LED? so you know what notification you got? yeah sure you can get an app, since there is "always an app for that", but I would think its fair to say that it should be implemented into stock android. so my question is: why isn't that implemented into current stock android?

Stock android is meant to be basic. And Android is so great because if you want a feature there is almost always a way to implement it, via a mod or app. See for me I would hate it if a scrolling ticker popped up when a notification came in if I was watching a video. That would drive me nuts.
Pa's hover is similar to this and CM has just uncovered a feature like this in aosp code. That's beside the apps available. There are plenty of options already and likely a stock one upcoming. I'd suggest a bit of patience or using one of various ways available to add this feature. There are a lot of things that 'should be in stock android'. Everyone has their opinion. Luckily yours may be added.

I have been running this for a few days and there is no going back. I love the look and functionality of the lock screen. I also love the minimalist pull down notification drawer.
The one thing I absolutely hate though is the recent apps tab. I am hoping someone finds a way to revert that.
All these cool UI tweaks on the S7 are awesome, I just wish there was a way to pick and choose elements from themes, and things like good lock.

Why are you starting this thread, when there is already one about this subject?!?
Samsung’s Good Lock app is a powerful lockscreen for your Galaxy S7 Edge

Hey my phone has just get the update, is this pie already?
Ok, yes, is android P already ?
That is a LOT sooner than I expected. Great work Sony!
Yep! Just installed the update and this is Android Pie. Really fast Sony!
Let me ask can you turn off gesture control? What is the navigation like compared to vanilla pie?
I use Nova Launcher but navigation is like it was before, no gesture navigation like Pixel phones!
But damn that dark notification bar and quick controls panel is boring, all the interface is light and clear except that.
Pictures please
There it is. No specific changes at first glance. I'm going to test it on a daily use to see what's new deeper in the system.
Not all Pixel features are available.
Volume slider is a big issue, can't controle ring volume, only media!
And really not a fan of this half light/ half dark theme made in Sony... We should be able to chose which mode we want.
Not very convenient, that you can't expand the volume slider popup to do so - as before.
Also I'ld be cool about the rest, even the bulkier quick controls, if I could try/use gesture controls. But couldn't find any option to activate that.
Off Album art show in lockscreen on Android 9. I really love it???
Insert Picture error?
No gesture nav? Dang it, do you really have to have a Pixel for that?!
So glad there isnt gesture control. Sony always mods each build perfectly so we don't have to try out BS 'features'! So glad Sony is back to not being just about pretty hardware.
Anyone here who still hasn't even got the 51.1.A.11.51 update (September security patch)? For some reason my phone is still on 51.1.A.11.26 (August security patch) and just tells me it has the latest available system updates.
Bought it from amazon.es so it's not like it's my carrier that's "blocking" the updates. It also has more than 50% of space available on internal memory, so that shouldn't be the issue either.
Anyone try to test SD card speed?

Do you also have this bug, that the switches are outside of the background?

It is a known bug on Android Pie, not a Xperia specific issue.
Need help
Hello everyone, I received this update too. But since I installed it, when friends or for work call me on the phone I do not have the time to answer ?! Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
I updated yesterday, since then the fingerprint sensor doesn't work very well. It used to be very responsive. Anyone else noticed this?
That is ugly, and doesnt look useable. As far as the other bugs go and the camera having too many 'enhancements' think its best to stick with the last version of Oreo made. And not.go any further. Its true nowadays, whats old is always better!
I'm trying to find an alternative launcher for my watch 4 that i can select as alternative launcher in watch settings. Does it exist? I would like to hide one of messages app ( Samsung messages and Google messages) from launcher but seems impossible...
I don't know, but I really hope they either offer a list mode like my Watch Active 2 had or an alternative comes along. I really despise the new launcher. I use XDrip (for blood glucose readings) on the watch and it has several components that get installed and they all have the same icon, making it impossible to know which is which. Not all icons are really self explanatory either.

Another fellow type 1 and xdrip user here!
I'm really hoping for an alternative launcher as well. One that is similar to wear os 2.0.
But when it comes to your specific problem have you tried just using wearable widgets?
I keep this as the first tile. I still get to have the watch face I want, but it's just a swipe to the right and there's my bg. It works very well.

I do use Wearable Widgets as well. It's also the first tile in my list just in case I want to change my watch face from XDrip. I find that it doesn't update that well or quickly though. I have to swipe to it and then wait for it to update. I should specify that I'm type 2, but bad enough I needed a Dexcom to monitor. It's been SUPER helpful to help control my BG and keep me honest.
Hi I was wondering if anyone found a launcher that would be optimized for the cover display?
Currently I installed Hyperion and added it to goodlocks widget and while the app icons are resized for the coverscreen and I can launch all my apps from there, I was hoping if anyone tried any other launchers that function better
And yes I am aware of samsprung and coverscreen os, I have samsprung installed but I like the fact that goodlocks implementation allows for gesture nav to work and it allows for the fingerprint reader to unlock my phone without Bixby
That's not a half bad idea. I hadn't even thought of using the widget to launch a launcher.

Ya so far it's been working great, it gets me around the 5 app limit, I did the same thing with your original widget as well for fun but since there wasn't a way to press a back button back then it was ultimately pointless but with goodlocks widget I find it useful despite some limitations(picture in picture mode still works so YouTube videos need to closed or else you'll have a bad time)
I thought an android tv launcher would work better but the ones available on the app store are super glitchy
There used to be a launcher inside Kodi. I wonder how that would do being made to support almost anything.
