I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..
I don't think either is a bug ,more or less design desicions. I actually like both things you mentioned

I can understand the first one but you clearly didn't understand the second. This is a major bug because a layout goes out of screen. They seem to not lock pulling down from the top most of the screen when it is already pulled down.. Result; notification center goes out of the screen..

If you fling it down it stops ,then you can pull it all the way down or just fling it back up.trust me they designed it that way ,it's not a bug.

This is probably a feature Not really a bug..
But on the lock screen .. Long tap the clock quickly.. you will see a big square highlight the unlock button Slide to unlock . This will take you to a STOP WATCH TYPE INTERFACE..
I Was hoping there would be a way in there to change the stupid bold hour number . That is gross to look at ..
Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.
The second account set up fine.. Just thought i would try a 3rd and look at directory structure..
Can someone try and see if its just me with the issue. It finally created the account. with a reboot. but its unstable .Thanks Erica
Youtube is borked with stereo (a2dp) bluetooth headsets - sync issues, laggy, scratchy. They have clearly done some changes to bluetooth audio (you can hear the bluetooth headset mute/come alive when there is a moment or two of no sound).
Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.

I'm getting an issue when tethering via Bluetooth. This morning it was working fine, the update came down while I was tethered to my phone, after the install I can pair to my phone but it won't connect.
I've tried deleting the pairing on both, re-pairing, rebooting... Anyone else having a problem? Anyone else doing Bluetooth tethering?
edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile

I know it sucks. I backed up with rom toolbox. And restored. Not sure if it saves game data thou.
I was on custom rom
Here are all the feature changes I noticed, including little things:
–You can no longer select text in an input field by double tapping a word; now must long press to select.
–Volume buttons work normally in the Messaging app (previously they changed the font size)
–You can't grab the scrollbars on the sides of most apps to quick scroll (this was a feature that worked for most apps in 5.0.2)
–Obviously, Samsung Pay
–A new app from AT&T or Samsung: Games (which can be uninstalled entirely)
–Apps don't reload immeidately after you switch to a different app via the Recent button and then switch back. However, they do still reload on occasion, like with Chrome.
–Recents button responds ever so slightly faster (the lag is probably inherent because of the multitasking feature)
–Live streaming is a new mode in Camera, to automatically upload to YouTube
–I'm pretty sure the Messaging app settings layout got tweaked but I can't remember how
–I'm possibly wrong, but I think the font settings in Display apply more universally now. Previously I had it set to "very small" but the font in Gmail emails didn't seem to be affected. Now, Gmail emails are small like other text.
–I've heard of the option to change the parallax effect in TouchWiz launcher, but I'm using the GNL and am too lazy to check TW
That's all I've noticed so far. Comment if you notice anything else different.
Turning off the parallax is there now.

When you change the wallpaper, the setting is on the same screen.
The NFC icon is no longer constantly in the notification tray. I upgraded from OE3 though so it might have been addressed before. The Samsung keyboard changed too, can't long press letters to get the symbols behind them.
Is the phone really more responsive/fluid with the 5.1.1 than 5.02? I don't want to lose root so I don't know what to do.
The Messaging app brings up a warning message whenever you click on a link now.
"Following unknown links leaves your phone and personal data vulnerable. By tapping OK, you agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from following this link."
I don't see any way to disable the message either.

You know how to root without pc ,king nor ping pong work
Hey guys,
I've successfully built something similar to Google Pixel's Fingerprint Notification Gesture. Just install the APK, grant it root access and you're good to go.
NOTES:
There's a similar app made by another developer, and this is in no way affiliated to it. End product is the same though it's accomplished in different ways. Read further to know the differences.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Nexus 6P rooted with SuperSu
2. Android 6.0+ (should work with lower APIs too - haven't tested)
BUGS:
It takes a while to start listening for fingerprints after a complete boot and after you unlock your phone. In the former case, it takes longer for the service to start.
DESCRIPTION:
We all have heard about the Google's new Pixel's fingerprint swipes to accomplish tasks. For the ones who aren't aware, the Pixel lets you swipe down it's fingerprint sensor to simulate a swipe down on your notification bar / status bar to pull it down and a swipe up, to pull it up. This app accomplishes something similar.
A single short tap on the sensor pulls down the notification / status bar and a long press on the sensor pulls it back up, irrespective of whether the finger in subject is registered for authentication or not.
DISCLAIMER:
Make sure you always take a backup before testing. Thumb rule. I'm not responsible if you screw up your handset!
DOWNLOADS:
Fetch it from here.
Cheers and let me know.
worked on 7.0 (purenexus rom) with phh root r259 trough magisk. not only SuperSU.
i was eager to see if ur solution can detect swipe direction but that seems to really need hardware capabilities the 6P doesnt have sadly. looks like our sensor cant even detect swipes. just short taps and long taps.

Yes indeed. After installing the APK in the system was working perfectly! Thank you!
Can anyone give an estimate on how long it takes to start working? Is there no way to force it to turn on?
Actually any info would be good. All i did was install the apk, reboot, a few minutes later supersu prompt came up. Nothing happens with the fingerprint sensor. Its going on 15 minutes.

Any other mods in relation with the fingerprint sensor on your phone? If not, it should work. Tested it on my friend's Nexus 6P today, it works fine. Try tapping the app in the Apps Drawer and then tap the fingerprint sensor? Do check out if the required permissions are granted by the Android system. Let me know.

Still not working. I did have a fingerprint app (forget exact name) but I uninstalled it. Which permissions specifically? When I go into it there are no permissions except to say it uses fingerprint sensor. It was granted superuser. Ive tried the shortcut numerous times.
A little more info--running PureNexus MM with elementalx and xposed (nothing that uses fingerprint) but plenty of gestures including swipe2wake, double tap wake.

Okay, quite uncanny. Even I'm running ElementalX, shouldn't be the thing. Kindly try reinstalling it?
There's a small bug I've spotted - if the feature doesn't work when the densornis tapped upon, simply lock and unlock your phone as a quick solution.
I'm sorry for this inconvenience. Will work on it to solve these bugs.

How do you get root access if it's a system app? I copied the apk to priv-app folder in system, rebooted, then installed the app as an update. Tried to get root access, but couldn't.

I gave it root access before installing it as a system app. But it works fine for me, not had any problems with root or anything. I should say though I'm using fingerprint quick action.

That's the one I'm using...do you just install the app first, then move the base.apk to priv-app folder? I tried moving the whole app folder over, but it didn't work. Thanks. BTW, I'm using EX File Explorer with root access to move the file.

Just move the PixelSwipe.apk into the /system/app/ directory. That works well for me.

So after you select the s8, it will automatically show you options of stuff that is installed on your phone, you can select multiple then install them. Also you can find a theme in be play store called swift for Samsung. It is actually better because the overlays there are designed for the Samsung stuff. Hope this helps. Try it and let me know.
I noticed when i restart my phone, some overlays (eg YouTube Twitter tumblr chrome) get back to the original theme and I have to reinstall the overlays even though it says up-to-date. Does it happen to you guys?

not sure wth is going on, but i'm using substratum with magisk rooted on nemesis rom, it's saying application successful but the settings menu is still white, notification window and QS icons are still white, only the dialer and a few other 3rd party apps got themed using swift black oreo samsung
I had some of my overlays reset on restart the first time. I reinstalled and now they seem to be sticking. YouTube gave me some issues, too. I didn't know about the Samsung variant, so I have the normal Swift Black. It seems to be working under S8 option now. Maybe that is what caused my little glitch.
It was annoying, but I thought it was going to change my notifications, too. It took another 3 hours of searching to get rid of the white notification background. Ugh. But it is worth it to use an almost all black phone.
I will totally be sharing substratum with my friends and family.

It's working from me from a neighbors computer. It takes you to an all black page and then prompts for the download. There is nothing there. Works from a PC or directly on the phone. But there is nothing on the actual page.
I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?
Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.
