It looks almost exactly like the apple one
It does not. Apple’s is a little battery. This looks more like a notification badge. Corner radius is too big, and it needs a nipple.
Not much that isn’t better with a nipple. Not going to argue with that
Ha! Not my problem. Thanks planned obsolescence 👍
They should’ve just copied iOS and made it look like a little battery.
The arrow shows on which side the battery is.
I bet they patented (or trademarked or…) that look.
I’m on oneUI 6 (samsung) and it looks like a battery. I think the way it looks in the post is a symptom of brain dead design…
Edit: oh God it’s being rolled out to my phone on 25th may, better figure out how to not get this…
Software Updater is an application, maybe you can turn it off with ADB.
This seems like a tough case to win in court. Patents usually don’t hold up when you’re dealing with obvious stuff.
And in this case, they’d be arguing about an extra 8px of border radius and a 8px semi circle.
third-party android modifications*
my family’s pixel devices, and mine running gos, don’t have this. nor the cell bar style, nor the ‘we have to advertise the wifi version so people feel good that bigger number = better’ wifi icon style…
the default is just a battery icon, though I have it set on my phone to also show the percent alongside it. this hasn’t changed in many years. blame your manufacturer and their skinning and modding.
Yeah seeing the post had me worried for a while but appears it’s not and android thing but a Samsung thing. This is why I stopped buying Samsung phones 6 years ago.
Oh thank God. I’m probably going to update my Pixel soon and was worried
I hate it aswell
I just got a Samsung phone and haven’t seen anything besides the current version and for me it’s fine.
People tend to overreact when something changes. It is normal.
I think most of the update is pretty okay (unpopular opinion: I kinda like the new battery icon), except for the notification panel, which they completely ruined.
It used to be that persistent notifications (which need to be there so apps like tasker and kde connect don’t get killed) were neatly at the bottom. Now they’re just randomly mixed in with the other notifications, so chats, emails, etc.
I miss the sideways swiping in the all apps. I manually changed it, but new apps have to manually be put in place. This new UI suuuuuuuuuuucks. I wish that I could change it back.
Shitty Life Pro Tip, just keep your battery below 19% and they can’t update.
taps head 😎
I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won’t ever empty my storage again.
I know this is a joke… But just in case:
You know that you can turn off automatic updates, right?
One UI 7 is the worst update I’ve ever suffered in my entire life.
Win7->10 wasn’t this bad.
I see you’re skipping windows 7→8 which is fair because most people did
There is no Windows 8 in Ba Sing Sei.
It convinced me to finally order a refurbished Pixel 8 sp I can switch to Graphene.
I was given an old Galaxy tab 8 on friday. I played with it for a while, and it was super snappy and quick.
Then it updated
then updated again
then updated again.
And finally again.
Ended up with OneUI6.1
Tablets like 1/3rd as snappy as it used to be.
If thats how big of a shit pile UI6 is, then I pray to god UI7 never gets on my tablet.
Oh fuck, I hate this too. Fucked up the video player and a bunch of my settings as well. Why is everything so round!? Why did they fuck up my clock widget SO BAD!??
Hey at least it shows the battery percentage unlike the old default option!
Old one with massive percentage number next to battery icon was so idiotic.
It was more readable, to me. So for people with waning eyesight this is a massive step back.
I hate the new top pull-down menus.
If you pull down and tap the little pencil to edit, then go to panel settings, you will find the option to change the pulldown menus from separate back to together. It made me less irritated but I still dont like the new look.
I changed that as soon as I got into the the wrong thing for the fifth time by accident.
Maybe it’s my (front display) slim phone but who designs shit like that?
Thank you for sharing this
Why? I’m really frustrated it right now because I’m not used to it, but the settings drop down always felt cramped and this logically makes more sense. I can’t think of an instance where I simultaneously wanted to see notifications and settings. Seems to make sense to separate these. I also thought it was annoying when I switched from the little nav buttons at the bottom to gestures, but man I can’t imagine being without gestures now.
What was it before this?
Just a percent
Readable.
This is mine on Android 14 on OnePlus.
LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15)
It looks the same on my 2024 Moto G Stylus. In fact, the battery icon with the percentage next to it has been an option on every Android phone I’ve used for the past decade or so, at least.
Same. I think it’s a Motorola thing. My current and last few phones for the past 15 years have been Motorola.
I’ve had a OnePlus phone during that time and they had the same option.
A battery icon
Is this oneUI 7? If it is, tell me so i can stay in 6.1 when the update comes.
Yup. Avoid it if you can
I think it’s 7
