No I am not stupid.

Yes - developer options disabled, usb debugging disabled, vpn's disabled, biometrics on, remember me on, 2fa ever log in off, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

No this has not always been the case, it started last week and just hasnt stopped.

Yes I reset the app

Yes this is annoying and inconvenient because I have to sit there and wait a minute, or two, or god knows how long till they send the SMS and for it to be received.

Yes I am willing to quit this stupid freaking bank just because of this. I do not tolerate multi billion dollar businesses not giving a damn about the mobile experience.

Just to prove a point, lets see how many people have had issues.

Poll

An acceptable failure rate for a consumer phone is generally under 1% to 2% during the first year of use. Key measures include Dead on Arrival (DOA) rates under 0.5%, Early Life Failure (ELF) rates under 1% in the first 30 days, and annual In-Warranty Repair (IWR) rates kept below 3% to 5% total.

Quality Benchmarks

• DOA Rate: Under 0.5% of units failing right out of the box.
• ELF Rate: Under 1% failing within the first month of ownership.
• Annual Failure Rate (AFR): Around 1% to 2% for premium devices, up to 5% for budget hardware.

Software Bug Tolerances

• Critical Bugs: Zero tolerance for bugs that cause permanent data loss, security breaches, or complete device crashes (brick/bootloop).
• Major Bugs: Fewer than 1 per 10,000 active users for features like mobile payments, camera functions, or cellular calls.
• Minor Bugs: Occasional visual glitches or slow UI animations are common, often patched in monthly or quarterly updates.

What distro are you using and why? What was the "one thing" that you had to have that only your distro offered?

No one asked for youtube messages. I just want to click a link, watch a video, and move on.

I don't want:

1. A pop up that asks me to use the messages feature 100 times a day.

2. People to message me IN YOUTUBE

3. People to see my username and stalk me. Those that need to know, know. Otherwise, please no.

Honestly a long time coming. Youtube and the youtube app have gone so far down hill from just a simple video watching platform, that I can't be bothered to pay for premium anymore.

Will be hacking, rooting, ad blocking my way to freedom. Will watch in my browser instead of the app. Just done.

I recommend anyone else to do the same. Who ever runs google has a skull thicker than the density of a black hole.

I long time ago someone recommended me a website that helps find which solar panel will fit my mppt, but now I cant find it. It looks like the most dated website on earth but it did the job and now...can't find it.

Context:

Asked it to run a debug sweep through a very specific function of code. Its not even that much, the app can load completely into the context window if needed.

Instead, claude went through its old memory, said "all of these features still have bugs and xyz features not implemented" (even though I built them months ago. MONTHS.

What I said:

Wow...you literally didn't even review the code, you just went through your memory and spewed nonsense that is now outdated. Claude is really getting f*****g bad huh.

Claude: You are right, let me actually read the code first.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F

I have owned google Pixel's since the original, and Nexus before that. I have never owned an iPhone, and the amount of times I have personally interacted with it, I can count on one hand.

Seriously, I am beyond a noob with iPhone. I do have an iPad mini and a Macbook Air. I do like both of them. the iPad I use mostly for media and especially reading, I don't do much else on it. My wife uses it 10x more than I do. I also like the Macbook, after a life with windows laptops I just gave up and pulled the trigger and outside of a few nitpicks, its a solid operating system that simply "works differently" but over all it took near zero effort to figure it out, and its perfect for media and light work, even some light video/photo editing (honestly too good for a "base" laptop I picked up on sale for 800$).

I am not in the apple eco system just because of these two. I use them as two standalone devices. But I am a bit in the google eco system, mostly through Google One for backups and photos. I know I can just use google photos on an iPhone so not concerned.

Really, the more I look into it, it seems that iOS is the most frustrating mobile OS in history while simultaneously having the most bug free apps and amazing camera's.

The reasons I have been peeking over at the iPhone camp, is due to stability, and video. Video on android will never get fixed, and although I don't take a lot of video's, its kind of sad that when ever I do take a video its just straight garbage, feels closer to 1080p 6kbps bitrate twitch stream, not 4k 60 HDR (which pixel can't even do 4k 60 HDR). The other is stability.

With ever passing year, I feel like even google's own apps on their own platform keep breaking. There are just a myriad of tiny, little, super tiny problems that pop up, then go away, then com back again. Like the youtube UI just...not working. Chrome shows the loading back smack in the middle of the screen, like it detached from the browser bar. The fact that for some stupid reason notifications might just...not show for hours. Or one day your battery life is just worse for no real reason even though you aren't doing anything differently. The gmail app choosing to just not send emails one day and work fine the next. And this list keeps going.

So the question:

What are the things that frustrate you the most. I understand that for iPhone people, "it is what it is" and you just "deal with it", but is it seriously worth living with a keyboard that types like a newborn or navigation that is inconsistent, and notifications that are closer to spam than being useful, etc?

EDIT: I don't think people completely understood my question, or maybe just didn't read all the way:

Yes, I see the "issues" but also why is it worth putting up with the frustrations?
