The latest #Android #AOSP security patch marks the end of public Android #12 and #12L security patch support.

There are a number of #Automotive #Infotainment systems based on #Android12 or #Android12L, so it'll be interesting to see whether companies provide updates to #Android13 (or, more likely, #Android14), or whether we see head-units left vulnerable to issues discovered in the coming months and years.

Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy S23 devices freeze on Instagram Reels

In some regions, such as India and UAE, almost three weeks after the most recent security update has been applied to the Galaxy S23 devices, people began reporting issues regarding their devices freezing and rebooting automatically. This issue was disruptive for users, because it means that they have lost all unsaved work.

People in those regions were reporting issues related to how their Galaxy S23 devices freeze when scrolling through Instagram, especially when watching reels (short videos). Such devices would freeze, then restart abruptly after about 1 to 2 minutes. The issue was raised to Samsung Members Community by many people, including the following posts:

Some reports claim that the issue started as early as three days ago, and the latest version of Instagram that is on the Play Store at the time of the incident is 374.0.0.43.67. People tried various solutions, such as checking for Instagram updates and reinstalling it, but the problem persisted.

We speculate that it may be because there is some kind of bug in either the security update itself or the latest version of Instagram. We are hoping for the latter, but, given the nature of the issue, it looks like that the affected phones were suffering from “kernel panic” issues when scrolling reels. When an Android phone gets a “kernel panic,” it typically freezes for 1 to 2 minutes before rebooting.

We recommend that you hold off watching Instagram reels for now until either a software update (One UI 7) or an Instagram update gets released, which should hopefully resolve this issue.

Google, could we get the ability to drag and drop icons and widgets to different home screen pages without it saying "no room on this home screen"? Think a little bit like how apple handles it - if you drag an icon or a widget to a filled up home screen, it just pushes the icons and widgets there to the next page over. Thank you.

"Apple’s own modem will perform worse than the Qualcomm chips it has been using for years. These Qualcomm modems are also present in the iPhone 16 series as Apple didn’t want to risk degraded cellular performance on its flagships."

draft - Maybe this is what Google should do with Pixel
