You may or may not have heard of the gross Android 14 bug currently affecting people with multiple user accounts on their phone. I’m in this picture, hi, this is me.

When I heard about the bug, I stopped using the second profile and everything seemed to be fine. A narrow escape, right?!

Alas, no.

This morning I saw something vaguely amusing, and thought “my friends at UKCasual will chortle quietly at this”. Tried to take a photo…camera crashed. And again. And that’s apparently it! I now have no access to storage on my phone and am left hoping Google come up with a fix asap.

Not even going to tell you what the amusing photo was, so ner.

How’s your day going? 😩

    AFAIK they’ve announced they’re releasing a patch for it. Sorry that the world will never see your humourous image!

      Yeah I’m currently “lucky” that I have the milder version of the problem that they can hopefully fix with an update. But since it was a delayed reaction (had Android 14 since the start of the month, haven’t switched profile in a couple days), it feels pretty precarious and I’m dreading the boot loop version kicking in 😬

      C’mon, Google…get a move on!

      Phone brickers don’t deserve to know! 😠

      (also I’ll hopefully get a second chance tomorrow)

    Lots of muscle and joint pain and very tired as a result, but otherwise a really good day. Had a Halloween dinner with the family, I when as causual Riddler, who just wants to take it easy after getting beaten by Batman to many times.

    Extremely sorry about your phone, I hope they realise a patch soon and that everything is still there afterwards.

      Actually yes! Managed to get their experimental OTA update over the weekend and after a small but worrying delay, media access came back. Been testing everything I can think of and one particular app is still having camera-related issues but tbh I suspect that’s a whole other underlying cause that just happened at the same time.

      I’m a bit spooked and have been avoiding switching to the other profile though. Now it’s fingers crossed for those unlucky souls who ended up in a boot loop!
