Phone (2) - OS3 Beta Discussion 📢
So here are some of the bugs I have faced so far in the new beta update :
No glyph indication in Zomato - third party glyph progress is not working on my case
Photo of headphones connected not showing - earlier in bluetooth tile of quick settings, photo of headphones which were paired via Google fast pair used to appear but after the beta update it’s not showing (although it still shows photo for my ear 2)
Media player sometimes doesn’t get alligned properly - half of the media player disappear when I switch from landscape to potrait, although it gets fixed when I reopen the quick settings panel.
This are the bugs I encountered till now. Will update the thread when this issues gets resolved or I encounter more bugs.
The vibration is absolutely non existent for messages and calls at this point when it’s in your pocket. I don’t even know if my phone vibrates anymore tbh.
The beta is pretty dang smooth so far!
Pros:
The new boot/fingerprint/charging animations are great, I cant wait to see the animation engine implimented in more places.
It feels so smooth. Ive had zero app hangups, no lag between opening and closing things. And unlocking the phone is snappy as hell.
The Camera widget is GREAT. Im stoked it finally landed on the Phone2. (And for those wondering, you can customize it completely in the widget settings.)
The new quick settings area is great, customizable, and looks cool in dark mode. Though I have to list a con with it below.
Cons -
The date on the lockscreen is HUGE. It looks super out of place. Make it follow system sizes.
The padding in the quick settings shade is insanely large. Either size it down or make it customizable. Theres so much empty space, and its just… not great. On that topic, the brightness slider is HUGE and Im not a fan.
I love the smart drawer, but make it available to be edited. Some apps arent getting catagorized correctly and itd be nice to use it to its full potential.
Dark mode looks very bad and needs significant improvements.

Z_Aid I disagree with that, because while typing, the vibration intensity is way too much in comparison to the intensity you get for calls and texts. I highly doubt it’s motor related.
startiel The red feels like they’ve literally just ripped off OnePlus. Not sure why they’ve gone with that tbh.
And along with the size issue, it seems like the media player on the lockscreen is really big now.
Would like to see more customisation. The dual colour options are gone and do it in a way that it doesn’t change the colour of the entire screen and just the accents of the buttons. Would also like to see colour on the quick settings for when stuff is on, just like on the lock screen. Too many gaps between widgets on stock android so using nova to counter this, everything lines up better

AntonyJoseph yeah I’m not a fan of it at all
Nothing hasn’t added much features to the 3.0 update. Atleast they should provide all the features in Android 15. Still the battery cycle count, device diagnostics, adaptive vibration, app pairs, private space, toggle to turn on bluetooth the next day. These features means a lot.
I think OS 3.0 has the worst dark mode; it feels like using an 10k LCD panel.
