So many bugs in this phone.
Trying to launch apps from the notification shade often fails - e.g. if BBC Sounds is playing most of the time tapping on the 'media' widget' from the shade will open the app, as expected. But at least 10% of the time nothing happens.
Notification shade itself is poorly designed. I don't want to have to reach all the way up to the top of the phone to get to the control panel, so I switched it to the old style and set it so a swipe down anywhere on the home screen. BUT if I want to see the media widget as mentioned above I have to swipe a second time for the full control panel. Why isn't the media widget on first swipe like it used to be?!
Also, they've messed up 'play on top'. Apps like discovery plus always used to play nicely on top of other apps, but now it simply doesn't. Other apps work as expected, but Discovery isn't even listed in the list of apps where you can select those you want to play on top!
Other gripes -
Sound quality on calls, via the speakers and bluetooth headphones is not as good as my S24, no matter how much I play with the Dolby or equalizer settings.
Why is the app drawer now one big long page, so I have swipe multiple times to get to apps beginning with T, U, V, W etc. What was wrong with swiping sideways?
Scrolling is jittery in browsers and apps like twitter.
Frankly I wish I'd stuck with the S24...

A laudable feature. But you should also be able to sort alphabetically in both portrait and multi-page view
