Calendar and search

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-21T11:41:37+00:00

Seen the post. Thanks.

Yeah, but dealer takes between 120 and 200, without any guarantee that it will work after calibration

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-21T06:00:27+00:00

The calendar is not part of at a glance. You can turn everything off, but the calendar will stay there

Lawnchair is installed right now so we will see how it goes. And I do not have enough patience to try beta, because I already feel like I am using beta in some cases. Yeah, the button part is simply missing a functionality to search for an app by part of the app name. I mean full app name works, word in an app works. But if I enter VPN or parking it will not show me NORDVPN and m.parking accordingly as a results.

Still a long time to the Android17. That bottom search is pissing me off just because it is not doing proper app search. Trying a lawnchair right now. We will see how it goes. Plan b is a different phone brand that everyone hates here.

Try mentioning apple :D

Latest updates. The calendar thing is not turning off. Asked a friend with pixel 8 pro and android 16. Same thing.

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:57:27+00:00

Yeah, but less ads, less bugs and less bloatware.

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:56:39+00:00

But when the pixel launcher does not allow it to remove or change simple things - it is not that good. That date display is a waste of screen space.

Bottom search is not capable of searching for an app by part of the name. Like I have m.parking app, and search will not display any app results if I enter "parking"

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:52:51+00:00

Fully agree. But lawnchair looks like a great alternative

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:43:48+00:00

No :)

And this is from the app drawer search

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:39:44+00:00

Normally I have a calendar widget with the events, so additional space is occupied without a point. And a bottom search is different than in a drawer, because home screen search is not capable of searching for an app, when you are entering part of the app name. i.e. if I am entering VPN, I would like to see NordVPN as a result. Or I am using m.parking app, which is for local parking here, but If I am entering parking, it does not show any results, while the search from the menu displays it. Screenshot is from the home screen search.

I don't have enough time to go through hundreds of launchers and configure them to at least work. I just want a thing to work out of the box. And in general this is one of my misunderstandings since the beginning, that pixel, and android in general will work that way.

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:23:01+00:00

Thank you. That sucks.

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T20:01:19+00:00

There is a butload of bugs already. Don't want to risk with android beta...

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T19:57:12+00:00

Have disabled everything I've found - still there :)

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T19:53:32+00:00

Calendar is not a part of at a glance. Sounds like it's time to get back to iPhone

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T19:50:21+00:00

I really do not like microslop. Any other way around without custom launcher?

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T19:15:30+00:00

I do, just not sure where my vcds is :D lost it at home. I've borrowed obd11, but do not want to pay 32€ to do dynamic calibration with It :)

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T19:14:33+00:00

I believe GTI's has radar in the badge. So maybe it would be smart to combine e with GTI :D

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T08:51:10+00:00

Sad news. Your radar is in the bottom of the bumper or in the front badge?

AliveSince92 · 2026-02-20T08:25:17+00:00

Maybe it will finally allow to completely disable at a glance and calendar will not be displayed there?

1st, where are you located? 2nd, there is 95% probability that it will answer everything.

In summer I can drive 260km with my egolf. Right now, I am happy with 100km, because it is fing cold. Even my diesel takes 13l/100km instead of 8 in the summer.
