Hey why beta don’t let me set auto battery saver mode blow 20% previously it can be set to 10% not every one likes to charge it’s phone 100%

I sat limit 70% and at 20% it started battery saver mode. So I have 50% battery that is really awkward

1. Battery & Wi-Fi icons

Icons did not update as shown in the announcement images.

2. Dark/Light mode switching

Switching between dark mode and light mode is noticeably laggy.

3. Essential Search

Instead of opening the browser directly, the search asks me to choose where to search.

@Carl @Rob ⚡️ there is no UI animation and why can’t u try to fix smooth animation

SahilMathur

Nothing OS 4.0 feels like just a small step towards beta — but it needs more polish to be truly user-friendly. Always On Display could use fresh features like charging animations (similar to OnePlus) to make it more engaging. Lock screen balance is also off — as seen in the image, space usage feels uneven. Customizable time fonts and better layouts would fix this. Google is pushing expressive lock screen designs. Nothing should match that energy with new styles, personalization, and balance. Rewamp new control center. More i’ll let you know….

SahilMathur

prasanna yes it is

PiradiDurgaPrasad

Why its not able to join beta program on NP2a

Internet and Bluetooth icons should flow from small size to full menu, as it is done with other icons in the quick settings (for instance, modes and screen recorder).

Is it intended that the battery percentage on the AOD refreshes all 2 percent instead of every percent when charging?
