Multiple bugs after March feature update

Hello everyone,

It seems like there are more bugs than the features released with this month's feature update, while also considering the features are almost nonexistent if "only available in US" features are not counted.

But anyways, here is the list of bugs which I have seen so far -

  1. Brightness fluctuation in Netflix, it occurs after every few seconds for just a second, this bug is reported by another user as well.
  2. There is a weird sound glitching if the EQ is turned on, I personally use PowerAmp EQ and tried Wavelet as well just to be sure - so basically if you turn any eq the mids are not changing at all also if you try to level up or down the volume for one - the sound suddenly shifts (volume goes down and song pitch changes) and goes back to normal and two - the volume while listening to the songs is louder than watching the videos (EQ is turned on and treble set to high). This is because PowerAmp recognizes YT music as a music app, but not YouTube, so I need to lower and increase volume repeatedly.
  3. While the device is locked and the screen is off, when you try to unlock the device and if the authentication fails, most of the time the nav bar will appear at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds.
  4. One more bug in FB, idk it's os or keyboard issue but if u open comments and go back to the post itself the keyboard will reopen again, typing nowhere and it's occuring all the time.
  5. Most of the time if the notification shade is open and you turn off the screen, before the screen turns itself completely off, it would flick, it's like how we close our eye for a quick second of time. It's like the animation plays and in middle it would start the animation again.

These are old points which I consider as bugs, could be a feature or something which are there since I purchased my Pixel 8 -

  1. Swipe down while on lock screen, the notification & quick settings will open, once it's pulled down, the 4 quick settings suddenly shift slightly up a bit before coming back to the normal position, it's like teleporting in games with high ping.
  2. Why can't I control my music from the lock screen itself if the "Skip Lock Screen" is turned on?
  3. There are times when I pull down the notifications shade to all quick settings, and it lags, the frame drops are visible, it's often visible after I have just closed an app.

The above 1 and 2 points can be reproduced after enabling the option -

  1. Under face unlock, if you turn on the skip lock screen option.
  2. Also NOTE that if I turn on show notifications on lock screen and skip lock screen option is turned on then the incoming notification clashes with the AOD, the notifications appear on top of the clock instead of below it.

AND BASIC THING - why the animations are cancelled if I try closing (swipe up) the app before it has fully opened?

I know there are a lot of points but cmon google you guys are league behind of other companies at this point, at least take something from Samsung if you guys are giving out almost all features to Samsung users as well, because I can't seem to find any Pixel specific features which are actually useful other than search song button on lock screen.
