Google made changes on my phone I can't stand!
Vanity | 04/23/2019 | Vendome

Posted on 04/24/2019 9:59:41 PM PDT by Vendome

I just updated to Oreo OS on my gorgeous Samsung Galaxy S8 and them sum beeches at Google changed all my icons to some book chit with frames and there is zero possibility to change back to original theme and icons.

They also effed my texts and a few other things.

I can't stand this cartoonish theme buttons!

They are for 4-7 year olds and took my very professional looking phone down to etch-a-sketch looking crap.

Rant off...

I will upgrade to iPhone on my birthday and Samsung/Google can go to hell...

Wasted quite a bit of money upgrading to this phone,only to have them down grade it

Oh, just realized they also dropped the video player to some asinine klugee thing as well.

Sure, I can go download other apps and customize but, damnit! It was fine the way it was and I dont have time to create new themes

FOAD Google... You made me waste hundreds of dollars.

Plicks....

I most certainly did not give you permission to eff up my phone...

Ain’t none.

Had a friend in geekland offer a solution but, not working on my phone

If I can’t roll back the OS on this POS over the weekend it will be used for batting practice and ull go back to the J7

Gee, my old LG still makes calls. I gather it can text if I had the patience to deal with a keypad.

I must be missing something crucial with all these iPhag phones.

Only solutions are “Joy”, “Walk on the Moon” or “Adapticon”

I tried em and I’m not interested in learning how to make themes or map icons...

Ok. Unfortunately you can’t re-install a previous version of your phone’s OS. You’ll get used to it.

Sorry to hear this. You have got to try the Huawei P30.

You've got to get out from under Google. They will mess up everything... including which articles will appear on your screen when you go to a website.

I picked mine up in Zhuhai, and there is no Google anything on it. You can probably pick it up in HK pretty cheap.

They also deleted all the emojis everyone knows and replaced them with “Seymor Sloth” and a couple other lame ass emojis.

Oh, and I can’t get this stupid tool bar to hide either, like it it did before

What a terrible down grade...

From the wikipage for Huawei:

"In the US, officials and politicians within the federal government have raised concerns that Huawei-made telecommunications equipment may be designed to allow unauthorised access by the Chinese government and the Chinese People's Liberation Army"

LOL

I did figure where they moved the emojis.

Would have been nice if they had instructions for the upgrade...

Google is evil. Android is Google, therefore Android is evil. So you’re doing yourself a favor kicking Android out the door.

I got so sick of the telemarketer calls on my Android I changed it into something Google doesn’t like. I finally figured out how to make it DO NOTHING when somebody calls me. Life is much better and since I retired there really are only a couple people I care to talk to.

Go into settings and change the theme. Problem solved.
Look under wallpapers and themes...
