Google Pixel 4a

Ported everything over, there's a nice migration app which lets you connect your old phone via USB and transfer settings and data over. It's not seamless, I still need to re-login to all my apps, and re-download WhatsApp data from Google Drive. Because WhatsApp backup is only daily, I lost about 3/4 day of messages (not a lot though.)

Phone works well, very snappy. Camera is excellent.

Minor things I don't like:
1. Android 11 does not support the long screenshots (yet): https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/09/android-11-wont-have-scrolling-screenshots-after-all/

2. Android 11 screenshot combo is "Press and hold power and volume down", on my OnePlus 5, I can press the same combo without holding, or use a 3-finger swipe down. More convenient.

3. Can't dismiss alarm with the power button, like I can with the OP5. I believe it's the same combo as the one to silence the ring, which I saw in the settings as "Power + Volume Up"

Also, kept pressing the volume instead of power when I want to put it to sleep.

So far so good but not used to using the 'back' screen as you have to swipe left from right side of screen

Can turn on the 3-button navigation.

I have 2 apps "Android System WebView" and "Chrome" that doesn't get updated after upgrading to 11.

You guys have this issue.

Yes, I had the issue. Then I had to clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Play Services, WebView, Chrome, etc, force quit them, then they are gone.

Yea, I'm trying to get used to the gestures. But the issue with this back gesture is that in certain apps, like say Gmail, you will accidentally archive or delete mails at times.

Done setting up my routines, use to like this on my Samsung phone with Bixby routines.

You can change the swipe options for gmail..or even off it..

Do a "Check for Update" manually and you should get it. I've updated my Amazon set yesterday to 11.

did a few times. nothing.

I like Delete from the right and move to folder from the left. I'll give myself more time to get used to the gestures.

Before 11, taking screenshot was a simple long press on the power button. For 11, you need to swipe up from the bottom of the screen like when you closing multiple windows than press screenshot. Really don't like that. It's not intuitive and very much slower.

Cannot press shutdown button and volume down button to screen capture?

They shouldn't fix something that's not broken.

Press and hold. On Android 10, I can just press and it'll immediately capture.

That will only bring the volume down. Haha

Talking about screenshot on 11, think I found some bugs. LOL.

Try taking screenshot of the desktop or that screen that prompt you to power off or restart. You can't !!!

Ezlink top-up via NFC is working fine.

If you happen to use ezlink app to top up via NFC, would appreciate if you can help to test too.
