I just flashed Marshmallow on my Nexus 5, and the setup process was embarrassingly buggy: On each text input screen, the text field was offscreen, covered by the keyboard. Meanwhile, there was a big blue box taking up all the visible screen that served no purpose aside from providing some negative space for the title when the keyboard was closed. There was also a grey margin on the left and right of the whole layout that looked like another display bug.
I would have taken a screenshot, but since the phone wasn't setup yet, I didn't think it would work.
I thought I should try landscape orientation to make it recalculate the layout, but I couldn't scroll at all in landscape. The screen reflowed correctly, but the page was unusable in that orientation.
I know that setting up a new device is not a common experience, but I'd hope Google would have better QA in place for a major release like this. Then again, having spent over a decade using Google products, I should know better than to presume anything about their QA process.
- tacomonstrous 11y agoWas it a dirty flash? I didn't have any issues on my N5 with a clean flash.
- bsimpson 11y agoNope. Clean as can be.
- bsimpson 11y agoI just unlocked the screen after leaving it on my desk for a while, and it unlocked to the setup screen (even though that's been finished for hours). I hit Back (hoping to snag a screenshot of the broken page) and the setup app closed, dropping me into the Google Now Launcher. /facepalm
