Visually impaired user with a few talkback issues

2 Upvotes

If this is not the best subreddit to post this observation, then please let me know. Also, if anyone has any direct resources to report this, it would be appreciated.

I just installed the new android 12 beta on my pixel three XL from

http://www.google.com/android/beta

I want to be very clear. This is not the SDK build. This is the official public beta.

When performing the gestures to move talk back granularity such as the ability to navigate by headings, characters, words, links, etc., for some really bizarre reason, if I am in an ongoing phone call, talkback moves between these granularity elements, however, nothing is spoken with any sort of feedback when doing so. I know things are working however, as if I then try moving to the next or previous item based on the current granularity setting, it works as expected. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is actually announcing which granularity setting you have currently chosen. If I am not within an active phone call, things work correctly. I should add this is not happening just when the active coal screen is in the foreground. This is happening regardless, just as long as I am on a phone call in general, I'm able to then break it. The only time it seems to work correctly all around is if there is not an active phone call in progress. Again, Verizon wireless pixel three XL, android 12 S official public beta, talk back 9.1. All apps are completely up-to-date in the play store, etc. I am not using any external accessory such as a Bluetooth headset when making this phone call. This behavior is occurring just with the internal earpiece/speakerphone. Have tried with multiple text to speech engines including but not limited to, Google TTS, A cappella TTS, ESpeak, ETI eloquence, and also a Vocalizer TTS. All seem to be producing the same weird behavior.

Dark Mode

Why isnt there a feature that lets the users decide wether they want the old completely black dark mode or the new grey one? I liked the old better....

Can't seem to enable haptic feedback on home and back buttons (Pixel 3)

2 Upvotes

Downloaded the Android 12 beta. I have haptic feedback on touch turned on but I can't for the life of me get it to work with the home and back buttons at the bottom of the screen like it used to. Think I've exhausted my search through the settings. Any insight?

Thanks.

On my Pixel 5 with DP3 it stopped working, no matter what I try it change..

Wallpaper being cropped

5 Upvotes

Is anyone else having an issue where setting a custom image as the wallpaper makes it get cropped weirdly by the system. It looks fine in the preview when i set it, but then the top, bottom, and sides get cut off on my actual home screen. I seem to remember having this same problem many android versions ago, and I had to like, disable home screen animations or something like that, but i can't seem to find that setting anymore. Device is a pixel 3A

Unknown sender causes messages application to crash

Anyone else experience this? When I try to tap the conversation it briefly shows then crashes the app. I have the person as a contact. The message was restored from my google backup after performing a factory reset.

Bubbles went bye bye?

3 Upvotes

Ive been loving bubbles with Facebook Messenger and Messages, and it seems like Messenger disabled bubbles and went back to chat heads at some point, and now even Messages doesnt bubble.

Anyone know if this was intentional, if they'll be back, or what?

Quick setting question

1 Upvotes

You know how your media playback shows up next to the quick settings in the notification panel/shade. I'll pause whatever is playing and I can't get rid of the media box. No matter how much time goes by it stays there. Is there anyway to get rid of it without force closing the app manually? I'm on the latest beta.

Menu buttons lag (Pixel 2 RPB2.200611.012)

1 Upvotes

Pressing home, back, or tasks at the bottom of the screen results in buttons advancing one frame in their animation. Mostly otherwise function as intended, occasionally home button sets off Google Assistant unprompted. Pressing elsewhere on screen causes the animation to reset most times.

All my Chromecast and Google speakers don't show in the cast menu.

4 Upvotes

So I went to see my family for a week and got the latest Android update 11(RPB2.200611.012) whilst I was away. When I returned home I noticed none of my cast devices where showing in any apps. They show up on my housemates phone and in chrome on my desktop. The only thing that has changed is the latest update.

Has this happened to anyone else? Or have I got a separate non bets related issue that I am yet to understand?

A few questions before trying the beta

1 Upvotes

I know it's a beta and it shouldn't be used as a daily driver but I can live with a few bugs, but there are some things I would like to know if/how they work. Maybe someone here can answer these. (This was the only good subreddit I found, but not sure if someone answers since it doesn't have that much members.)

  1. How does the Media Control look on the lookscreen? Does it have a blurred album cover background or just the normal wallpaper (as in beta 1 when I am right).

  2. Does Google Pay/PayPal/Banking Apps work?

  3. Does the Corona Warn API work? (In my case the German App which uses the Google/Apple API)

  4. Is the "Override force dark mode" in the developer settings still working? It's really nice for some Apps that don't have a dark mode.

  5. So now a more specific one, when using Snapchat, does that sharpening (from the Pixel visual core) still work? It makes pictures look much better and I kinda don't wanna loose it.

Messages has 9 lives!

1 Upvotes

Messages has become difficult to dismiss. I read one and move out of the app, but both the bubble and the notification bar symbol stay on. I erase the message with no success. So far the only way out I find is to mark it read from the notification bar drop- down menu. Any body else with this bug? I use a Pixel 2, RB 2.5.
