What are things we DO NOT look forward to in Android 10?

I don't want to turn this into a Sunday rant/rage thread, but I do want to discuss things that we do not like about Android 10 so far. I'm especially interested in things that got ruined over Pie. Yes, I realize that most people have not tried it but a lot have and a lot of news and features came out that already tells us quite a bit on what to expect out of the next iteration of Android.

I would like this also to be a sort of a devil's advocate / change my mind kind of a thread too. So, it'll be nice if once a complaint is posted there will be people to tell how does one avoid or fix the issue or it's a non-issue. That way, we can discuss features, as well as offer solutions to potential problems.

Let me start...

  • Storage permission are supposed to be more restrictive. Apparently it slows things down and apps like Solid Explorer cannot handle things like APKs properly like displaying their icons. This is my main worry, I do not want the restrictions on the file system.

  • Can't start an Activity from the background. This apparently broke quite a bit of apps, such as alarm clock apps. How will they adapt? I have no idea.

  • Clipboard manager apps are now dead, they can't monitor the clipboard in the background.

  • Call recording apps are dead too.

  • Screen recording is more restricted, you have to manually grant permission for them to record each time you use them.

  • Can't have WiFi control apps anymore.

  • Overlay apps such as players (Xplayer) are not allowed anymore. I'm not completely sure about this, but I think I've read where overlay apps (such as video players) are not allowed anymore. This would be my second fear as I use them a lot!

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
