AmirrezaAtashinbar

SiddheshShanbhag ahh noo

PrateekPassi

SiddheshShanbhag are those wifi/signal icons changeable? NOS 3 has better icons. imo

SiddheshShanbhag

Hardik I had written to them several times through the feedback feature, to provide an option to keep only battery % and hide the battery icon or the ability to show battery % inside the battery icon, even give different battery icon styles but to no avail.

Btw,

I don’t know why, network signal strength is not that good(both Jio and Airtel) after updating to NOS 4.0. It was good on the previous stable version. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

AmirrezaAtashinbar

SiddheshShanbhag even stock Android has those indicators which is pretty awesome but dont know why they changed it again.im not seeing any significant change in such an important update in os.feedback is useless never believed in it not just for nothing but any company

The camera app is very lagging and especially the shutter lag while clicking multiple photos is very annoying. Still they haven’t fixed it. The photos are now spoiled. The picture quality is poor compared to the earlier versions

SiddheshShanbhag

PrateekPassi No, they’re fixed.

JAYGG

Pedometer widget Bug

Ergonom NP2 - No, it hasn’t been fixed
