I have to say android 14 is really great. Huge battery life improvement. I was recharging my pixel 7 pro at least twice a day. Now it lasts all day. Yay!!! As a secondary note, I also got the Google Pixel watch recently and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The updates that Google released for really improved the battery life and the functionality. I have a Apple watch ultra as well and I kind of like the Google pixel watch better just because it's more comfortable to wear and it works flawlessly with Google Fi. I really hope they make a bigger version in the next generation.

1. I've noticed the notification icons on top and the navigation bar along with the keyboard just disappear as they will and return in seconds

2. Minimizing apps has been a real issue, once I pause and try swiping up to exit the app, all the other minimized apps just disappear and reappear, blanking out, the screen becomes quite unresponsive for that moment and it's so frustrating.

I just say battery life and thermal issue have improved from Android 13, buy these are the new shortcomings. I've restarted the phone numerous times to no avail. Anyone else having these issues?

So we've had Android 14 on our phones for about 6 to 8 hours. I've noticed two things. Battery life. It feels like I'm getting longer battery life. I used podcast addict for 2 hours last night and I burned through 19% of my battery. I want from 100% to about 81%. Tonight I did a bike ride for 2 hours and I only used about 10%. Exact same conditions. Exact same settings except for Android 14 on my phone

Bluetooth connectivity seems to be better. I can now hear out of both of my earbuds now. Settings for display size have changed. Many more options on the size of your letters on your phone. I like that.

That's All I've got in my limited time using Android 14. What are your thoughts? What differences have you noticed?

Android 14 is HERE! (Told y’all it’d be today 😉) Google has just announced that they're uploading the Android 14 source code to AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Once the code is uploaded, I'll dig through it to see if there's any interesting features or changes I missed. If you find anything yourself, send me a tip!

Android 14 is rolling out to the Pixel 4a 5G and later starting today and will be available later this year for devices from Samsung, iQOO, Nothing, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, Vivo, and Xiaomi.

It keeps bugging out on me and making icons vanish temporarily and when I swipe to see my most recently used apps it's just a blank screen. The only remedies I've found so far are to either reboot the entire phone or restart the launcher. But these need to be done several times per day now and it only began after upgrading to Android 14. Anyone else having issues with Nova?
