Was it broken? I don't use it all that often, but anytime I do it seems fine. What was the issue?

EDIT, wait, RTFA, sorry.

for the past few months, notification history on Google Pixel devices has been partially broken.

When tapping on a previous notification, the app wouldn’t launch properly. Technically, it was still possible to access the notification, but you needed to first have the app open in the background, then tap the historical notification, and then open the app back up from recents.

It was quite a hassle.

Oh, huh. That was definitely happening. I noticed but didn't.

Oh, great, I'm sure glad they've fixed this minor inconvenience instead of fixing the fact that third party launchers have been broken for 6 fucking months.

What's broken with third party launchers? I've been using Square Home since December and it seems fine.

I've constantly had issues on Android 14 with multiple launchers. For a while the recent apps button wouldn't do anything until I force restarted the launcher. Then tapping home would show the launcher wherever I had left it, but none of the interaction worked. Then it seemed unable to launch anything. Now I get a mix of the three.

I've tried killing the Pixel launcher. I've tried resetting settings. I've sent bug reports to each launcher for each issue and they all come back saying it's due to Google changes and sent links to posts of other launchers having the same issues.

I have 3 close friends on pixels that have the same issues constantly. I've asked a few people on pixels who say the same. I've seen numerous people online saying they have the same experience.

The Android bug tracker has multiple open issues Google has acknowledged, but I've never seen them actually fix any of them. They've been "assigned" for months.

Ugh. That's lousy. The Android devs aren't known for being responsive.

I hope they sort stuff out.

Weird. I've been using Lawnchair on my Pixel 6 for years without any issues.

[-] Ottomateeverything@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Are you on Android 14? I know someone with a Pixel 6 that suddenly had all these issues appear when they updated. This never happened on 13.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Yes, 14. I never had issues on 13 either. I don't remember if I had 12 on this one, but if I did, I didn't have issues there.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

Beautiful. I've been wondering if it was a bug or just "now it works like this."

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I literally didn't know this existed and I've had a Pixel for 6 years.
