I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.

Hey Google.

I still can't create folders in the Android Gmail app. But somehow you had time for this?

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to help with that"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It gets worse. If you have "smart features and personalization" turned off for your Gmail account, which I do, you can't even ask Gemini anything. Not even to get the inevitably wrong answer.

But this still doesn't remove the damn button for it from the corner of your screen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah that was the first thing I checked too as I was certain I disabled it all. Hopefully Gemini goes the same path as countless other Google products

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Gemini: "to create a folder, right click on the desktop, select new, them select folder. When the folder icon appears, type the name you want for your new folder."

Me: No... in Gmail!

Gemini: "Gmail is a google service for emails"

Me: No! How do I create folders in Gmail??

Gemini: "Email folders are a great way to sort and organize your emails into easily searchable categories."

Me: Never mind. Thanks for nothing.

Gemini:

Gemini is completely unusable... So many questions are redirected to what they want me to ask, and not to an answer for what I asked. I wouldn't be against this if I could turn it off and if it actually added any value.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Apparently they can't roll out Gemini to my phone because I never gave them my birthday. It's a really old account and they've been sending me notifications to add my birthday for years.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's for the best, I used to ask Google assistant for alarms and basic searches sometimes, Gemini gives excruciatingly long responses that won't shut up and recently started responding with things from my past emails assumingly from the Gmail account needed to set up the phone. So now I don't have Google assistant, and will no longer search anything with Gemini out of principle. Need a new phone OS it appears

I accidentally triggered Gemini while taking a close-up photo of something in my hand. It threw up a nearly full-screen "how can I help?" message. I muttered "fuck off", and the message now read, "I'm sorry you feel that way..." Oh my god no. NO. Gemini now disabled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It can't control its personality either. So when you say something like "set an alarm for 5:30am", and it hears you wrong you say, "Set An Alarm For 5 30 AM". Slowing down and annunciating. Then it responds Oh Kay repeating your cadence as if it needs to annunciate to you because you don't understand, haha. Every time someone has heard it around me as been like, wow, that's a sassy bitch.

If you are willing to forego Google Pay, I strongly recommend GrapheneOS.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Very much this. I really dislike my pixel 6 pro (i don't understand the immense hype it got but, whatever), however, i will be getting another pixel when this dies just so i can use GrapheneOS. So good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have a 7 pro and it seems more like top of mid-tier device rather than a flagship, but I got it for GrapheneOS and will buy Pixel again just because of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Had the 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and now 9 Pro

I feel like the 8 Pro is the best of that series, but I don't have hard evidence to explain why

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

I'm in the same boat. Keep getting android popups like IMPORTANT ACCOUNT NOTIFICATION YOU HAVE TO ADD YOUR BIRTHDAY no I don't fuck you swipe away.

I use Tuta. It works decently well.

It's on my desktop Gmail and I've been having a shitty time trying to disable it and remove it.

Literally asked Gemini how to remove Gemini and it said it did not know, then I called it stupid, and then it apologised and said I can remove Gemini in the Gmail settings, but I couldn't find the option after yelling at it in all caps and it's still there just taunting me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I think it's from "Google Workspaces" that you have to remove it from.

I have it on my phone and occasionally it think I'm asking it to do something like writing an email and then it'll say I have to enable Gemini in Google Worspaces or something.

Idk hope I've provided some info idk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

for fun ask gemini if water freezes at 20 degrees

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Did as asked. Failed to see where the fun is? (I'm not being offensive, I just missed a joke and would like in on it.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Um, the profile icon is just slightly to the left now. Or did you mean something else?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In my non-enterprise accounts the profile pic is exactly where the Gemini is now. So I flip thru them and it moves back and forth. Just real dumb. They could have added the Gemini button inside the search bar and I could have kept ignoring it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Ohh. I use a separate phone for work so I didn't notice that. Yeah search bar would've been a better spot for sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Gemini? The Teletext-alike web?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Better than when they switched sides in the play store and my thumb couldn't reach the check for updates :(
