It's video recorded from both front and rear cameras simultaneously. There's an example on here. Terrible name though.

'Doubletake' would a better name. But what happened to the good old days of asking a passing stranger to take a photo of the two of you?

Oreo is getting right on my tits. I have a few apps on both my devices that are running in the background permanently and which I'm perfectly happy with, so I don't need the constant notifications telling me about them. You can snooze the notifications for a couple of hours (which seems weirdly useless) but you can't permanently silence them. The whole thing seems really badly thought out.

Haven't got Oreo, but on the Huawei I had, you could go into a list and allow certain apps to rub add background, after that it didn't tell you about them. I would like to hope a similar option existed here!

The notification should be in the "by the way" section: it should be at the bottom of the notifications, it should only be a single line, and it shouldn't put an icon in the status bar. Is that not the case?

What apps are these? I don't have any apps that do this installed on this phone.

All of those things are true, it's still really annoying. A notification should be of something you actually want to be notified of. Something sitting permanently in there is not that. If I swipe the widow shade (or whatever we're calling it now) down I want to see stuff I should, or could, action. Again, something sitting there permanently is not that. It makes it busy and irritating and harder to tell at-a-glance what I should be dealing with and what is just utterly pointless noise. In my opinion, of course.

The apps in question, in case it matters, are Pebble, Three in Touch and Twilight.

Also, in the case of Twilight, the notification that it's running in the background isn't doing the single line thing. There maybe something I can do about that (tap it, swipe it, hold it down, go into the notification options and tap, swipe or hold down one of the greyed out options that's actually secretly reactive if you somehow already know it fucking is because of course) but I simply cannot be fucked playing around with this stuff any further.

I can do a more constructive critique on this later when I can be bothered, but the entire Notifications settings app is a UX shitshow the like of which I've rarely seen.

Note that Oreo changes the way background processing works, so there's a fair chance that what the app Devs have done is throw in a hack as a workaround for the changes.

Yes, and believe me, an app running a foreground service that is choosing down on your battery is something most people want to be notified of. This isn't supposition, and this change wasn't made lightly (I've read the product design doc.)

I'm not completely sure but I think this is something the app developer can change in an update.

Sure, and I've no issue of being initially notified of such things, but it's about control. I've seen the notification and I'm happy to accept what's going on but I *cannot* choose for the notification to fuck off; that's something Oreo will just not allow me to do. So that's annoying in and of itself, but it has a much more damaging long term impact: I'm much less likely to care or notice if something new arrives in that list; potentially something I should care about. Notification overload is totally a thing and anything that adds to that is sabotaging it's own efforts.

Also, I think we're kidding ourselves with the idea that most Android users are going to give a fuck here. The person in the street isn't going to understand or care about the significance of these notifications so it's almost instantly just going to become noise to them. Adding nothing to their experience and just low key negatively impacting their experience.

So power users get some initially useful info but end up annoyed at the lack of control, and everyone else just gets more nonsense they don't understand that trains them to ignore notifications. I'm simplifying that a bit of course, but I genuinely don't see this as a step forward.

Hmm, really? This isn't notification from the app but something generated from Android System because it's detected an app running in a certain mode; isn't that then out of the developer's control? Genuine question because, as always, I'm genuinely interested. :)

The fix is probably not to run it in that mode - and instead to find a different way of backgrounding

My S7 started showing me more notifications recently, without me changing any settings or asking for them, yes you can turn them off and tell them to fuck off when they appear - but as a general rule I think a device changing its behaviour for 'reasons' is a bad idea.

'25 minutes to work, the usual traffic'. Yeah cheers, fuck off.

I think it's a really good idea when Google are constantly updating and adding new things that are actually often quite useful. How else would I find out that it can do that sort of thing?

A 'Here's some new stuff you might want to look at' splash screen, perhaps, like they do with other things?

Anyway, notifications are something we've been seeing for years already, and everyone already knows where the settings are for them.

My phone must be about four years old now and its behaviour has changed completely over that time, mostly without me actually asking it to and pretty much all for the better. I dunno I just really struggle to imagine getting upset about a little icon at the top appearing essentially just to ask me if I want some new thing they've come up with.

I find the traffic updates really useful. I often get a notification on my watch about another snarl up on the M6 on the way home and I can sometimes avoid it as a result.

I suppose on the Isle of Man the traffic updates are more "Highwayman alert, stay in your carriage around Ramsay"

I haven't been asked to review any major arterial routes yet, but I do get loads of notifications asking me to review restaurants and takeaways if I happen to loiter near one for more than a few seconds.

I like the 'suggested replies' on the Gmail app. An invite from a friend to do something on a Friday, say, invariably comes up with 'Yes!', 'Looking forward to it', and 'See you there', and excludes the possibility that I might wish to decline.

I haven't got round to turning those off yet. I work from home and don't drive, so they're largely irrelevant to me. Maybe I subconsciously like to see other people stuck in traffic.

Does yours have suggested answers of "Yes", "Absolutely", "Here is a picture of me and Julia Bradbury"?

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION JUST RECEIVED.

'27 minutes to work, the usual traffic'.

That's handy, since I've told these to fuck off once already, and it's Saturday, so I'm not going to work. These algorithms are (a) Disobedient and (b) A bit shit sometimes.

What with all the movement and location tracking, surely it knows what my working patterns are by now, when Google asked how much they could track of what I do, with whom, when and how, I accepted everything and cheerfully turned my life over to them - so come on chaps, keep up your end.

It's possibly worth noting that this is all a Google Maps thing rather than Android specifically so it'll likely have come from an app update. After seeing your posts I finally got annoyed enough with the traffic ones to go into GMaps and turn off all the notification options, of which there are shitloads.

Another for the “wireless charging is a pointless gimmick” gang here. It’s just so slow, and isn’t really any more convenient than plugging a cable in.

A lot faster now. The new 15W pads will wirelessly charge a phone faster than we could charge with cables a few years back. (Still slower than a modern cabled fast charger putting out 20-30 W, admittedly.)

I have a circular pad thing that you need to make sure the phone is placed correctly on. Doesn’t seem much more convenient than plugging a reversible cable into. If you could just place it down anywhere on your nightstand it’d be a different argument.

Or if you could wear 10 charging thimbles. Then you'd look fucking awesome AND charge your phone while you use it.

Something like this is the way to go, all you have to do is get the phone sort of in the middle and it'll charge fine.

Plus if you've got an always-on screen it makes for a nifty clock and notification centre.

I have two of the chargers in that screenshot a few posts back. They're very good.

I have a circular pad thing that you need to make sure the phone is placed correctly on. Doesn’t seem much more convenient than plugging a reversible cable into. If you could just place it down anywhere on your nightstand it’d be a different argument.
Use cases:

1) on my nightstand, having a wireless charger means never having to fumble around in the dark looking for the cable then fumble around more plugging it in. Overnight, I don't care how long charging takes.
2) on my desk, having a wireless charger and Bluetooth headphones means I can put my phone down when I get to my desk and it'll pick up a charge, then scoop it back up when heading to meetings, lunch, coffee, etc. I might do that 15-20 times per day so not having to plug something in is meaningful.

It's not life changing but it is convenient.
