Seems to be a problem with Android 14. It’s already been reported on GitHub.

Maybe shake it repeatedly so that the gyroscope picks it up. 😄 Would be an inherent human response anyway.

The reason: 🫰

Every time I read “YouTube redesign” I hope for a proper Material You design (including adaptive colors). Instead it’s always just some menus shifting around.

The Pixel can also get the new Assistant At a Glance widget, although the permanent At a Glance widget still remains in place and unchanged.

What’s the point then? I don’t need the same widget twice.

YT Music’s podcast support is sorely lacking

I don’t have it yet in my region. Does YouTube Music support faster playback and the ability to skip silences? Those are the most important features to me.

Tap “Explore” in the bottom toolbar, then the three dots next to “Subscribed”. Select “set as default”.

This phone looks weird. The 6 Pro looked awesome with the black visor. The 7 Pro looked elegant with the metal visor and gentle camera pills. But this one … has totally weird proportions. If the camera pill is so large, why not make it an entirely black visor again?

You’re in a bubble. ~99% of the population is not on reddit/lemmy or other android communities where they could discover new apps. They find out about new apps from friends, from news articles, or through the Play Store.

That’s why I’m always annoyed that pretty much all of the “big” YouTube phone reviewers spend so much time on the camera when reviewing phones. I’m much more interested in the UI/UX and software features.

The camera is either good or great anyway. That isn’t really a selling point for me.

It’s already there. Tap on the profile icon in the top left corner, then tap “remove ads”.

Disable this setting:

Settings shortcut: Link handling > Show larger links

Yes, the new one looks nice and clean. I think a bit of padding really helps to make it look modern. (yeah, I know this will ruffle some feathers because some people apparently prefer 0px padding on everything)

One thing that always irked me a bit about the old “comment reply” window is that it has a fixed division of the comment you’re replying to, and your own reply. Maybe a toggle would be nice? (and it would also be nice if that top window would also show the text from self-posts when I’m writing a top-level comment; that way we would be able to copy/quote from the selftext. IIRC on reddit it only worked when I was replying to a comment)

Thanks for your work! Using Sync here feels like coming home.

Sweet. Thank you!.

Are there plans to give the “comment reply” window a similar visual overhaul to the “create post” window?

Good news, everyone!

I think at the moment the only way to change it is to change the base font size.

Settings shortcut: General > Base font size

It’s not cheaper at all sync ultra is €3 a month and add free is a €20 one time payment

I mean, you cannot really compare monthly payments with one-time payments. Since ad-free is only available as one-time payment it only makes sense to compare the one-time payment prices for each of them. The one-time payment for ultra is ~180€. The one-time payment for ad-free is ~20€. Is that not cheaper?

I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra

There’s also a cheaper ad-free version without the ultra features. Tap the profile picture in the top left, then “remove ads”.

Thanks man! I really loved the Sync user experience on reddit and I’m glad it’s now here too. In fact, when logged in on feddit.de (which currently isn’t prone to outages like lemmy.world) it runs so fast that I sometimes think the content has been loaded from the cache – but it isn’t. Really great.

My only wish would be for Sync to respect the setting that I selected on the website to not show any post/comment scores. Not constantly checking scores really helps with digital detox and also leads to me reading posts that I’m actually interested in (by the headline) instead of looking at stuff just because it has a lot of upvotes.

That’s for ultra. (and it’s pretty much the same price everywhere) If you just want the ad-free version it should be ~$20. Tap the profile icon in the top left corner, then “remove ads”.
