When you’re in your phone’s camera app, tapping anywhere on the viewfinder should manually adjust its focus and exposure of what you’re looking at. For example, if you tap on a dark area in your viewfinder, the exposure changes and the viewfinder gets brighter — making it easier to see your subject. If you tap on an area that looks too bright, it’ll get darker. For some reason, this doesn’t work as intended on the Pixel 8. Please fix

This is an issue for me on the public release of Android 14 on Pixel 7 Pro with Nova launcher. Not sure how this bug made it past beta testing.

st...@gmail.com <st...@gmail.com> #22Feb 11, 2024 12:00AM

I wish I could go back to android 13.... Video of it attached. Often times the only way to temp fix it is to force close the launcher and relaunch it.

same issue on my Pixel 6 PRO... 50/50 chance to open any app - realy annoying :(

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #24Feb 20, 2024 12:45PM

Same problem with Pixel 6a (updated to Android 14) and Nova Launcher.

kb...@gmail.com <kb...@gmail.com> #25Feb 20, 2024 12:48PM

same problem artifacts on icon random blank screens on nova launcher

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #26Feb 20, 2024 04:02PM

I also have this problem with the Microsoft Launcher on my Pixel 6 Pro. If I open an app too quickly after going home, sometimes all I see is my wallpaper. If I enter the app switched and click the most recent app twice the app will eventually show.

This is a very annoying bug and should be fixed ASAP. It makes third party launchers basically unusable. I don't know how this got past beta.

Pixel 7 running Nova launcher. Just updated to Android 14 and frequently when I try to open an app (any app) it just shows my wallpaper. If I go back to my home screen and try again it typically loads. From a user standpoint, this is essentially non functional and needs to be addressed ASAP.

Cant believe google released this update knowing this issue existed.

Same issue here using the minimalist phone launcher on Pixel 7 pro

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #30Mar 14, 2024 04:56PM

For me the issue is that my home screen will just randomly freeze sometimes. If I lock and unlock my phone a few times it usually works again.

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #31Mar 15, 2024 10:24AM

Just upgraded to Android 14 last night. Nova launcher complexly busted. Can't launch apps from my home screen anymore.
