Shai-Hulud posted:Nah its happening when unplugged. But you remind me of another thing. The charging of the last 10% or so of the battery take pretty loving long. Its not a big deal that its taking longer but it shows like "2 minutes left" for 20 minutes or something while it charges the last 2-3 %. That's normal for nearly all lithium batteries... As they near full charge the amount of current they will accept tapers off dramatically. So you may go 0-90% in 30 minutes, but that last 10% may take another 20-30 minutes.

It's been 3 years since I last bought a new phone, going from a Nexus 5 to a Nexus 6. I'm switching to a Pixel 2 and staying on Project Fi. Previously, I was able to just use NFC to transfer everything from my old phone to the new one. Will I still be able to do that for the new one? Do I need to do anything with my Fi account to "register" the new device?

The Pixel 2 comes with a little dongle to plug your old phone in to your new one and transfer all your data. Otherwise it will use Bluetooth as far as i know.

Its pretty weird. Does this happen when answering calls as well? I remember seeing an article saying some people had this problem

necrotic posted:They show up in now with the notification, so I dunno. Maybe clicking the notification will take you to where you can? Would be nice if they added actions for that up in the notification though. These articles aren't showing up in Now for me. I guess there's no way to prevent these random notifications without completely turning off notifications from Newsstand. Yuck.

I occasionally get really weird swiping behavior like that. Most recently I couldn't answer a call one handed because it wasn't registering my swipe no matter how far I drug it (maybe half way up the screen). I had to call the person back (shudder).

Glad I'm not the only one. It can be hard to answer a call sometimes, it wants you to swipe all the way to the top of the screen. Same with unlocking, it sometimes acts like you are stopping halfway when you are not.

It does that, it comes with a dongle that does it, and--you aren't going to believe this because I sure as hell didn't--Google's transfer stuff actually works transparently without you having to do any fuckery like that all! Turn it on, go through the guided setup, and... it actually works. That said games tend to be the worst with not using Google's backup stuff and if you have a bunch of them you want to carry over you might have issues that even the dongle won't help you with. For those Helium can probably do what you need if copying the folder over or the dongle stuff can't do it for you.

The dongle with the P2 is great because its just a nice little USB OTG adapter. Works with flash drives and other stuff like my DSLR perfectly.

It's really bad on my tablet, but I blame that on Asus not optimizing the software for the larger screen. Scrolling half way up an 8" screen is so much farther than on a 5" screen!

I'm pretty sure whatever API or function that's used for swiping is by percentage of screen size, which makes it awkward with larger devices. Google probably needs to tune that a bit.

So I finally got my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus from Gearbest yesterday after ordering it 2 weeks ago. This phone owns. MIUI 9 is a little too bubbly and colorful for me, but the amount of options and customization is great. It's got a 6" 18:9 screen and no ridiculous chin like on the OG Pixel. Fingerprint reader is quick and the phone feels super solid to hold. Definitely a great buy at $200.

My wife plays a bunch of games and her Pixel XL needs a factory reset because it keeps getting into a state where notification tones wont play. She's too afraid of losing her games progress so now she's just stuck in a constant state of irritation with her phone.

Basically, they're a bad developer and being invasive.

Shai-Hulud posted:So some issues with my Pixel 2 XL: Yea mines been doing that since the 8.0 update came out. It seems to be a bug that they keep saying they will have a fix for in the next update, which was like 3 updates ago now. On the upside, the latest Feb update does seem to make the screen a bit more sensitive and accurate than before, and performance is great again like it always seems to be after an update. What was weird was the OTA update didn't work from the phone, but pushing it via ADB sideload worked normally. No idea why as the last 2 OTA updates worked just fine before.

Yeah, there's solutions I just haven't taken the time to look into it and she's afraid to try it. My point was that it's a stupid situation that game devs and/or Google have created.

Google is getting sued over the microphone issue on the 1st gen pixelquote:The same San Francisco law firm that recently settled arbitration claims against LG over the "bootloop" issue has now filed a new proposed class-action lawsuit against Google. This time, the firm is alleging manufacturing defects in the microphone on Pixel and Pixel XL handsets.

Not only does notification sounds stop working (including alarms), but attempting to play video results in an error, and in app calling functions (e.g. Hangouts) freeze when attempting to join the call. On the other hand, music player works fine as does regular calls?  Does a factory reset fix it permanently? Right now I just reboot and that sorts it until it happens again, but I haven't been able to pin down the exact cause that triggers it.

As much as I loved the blobs, there was a non-zero chance that they didn't match up with nearly every other emoji design. Problem is they replaced them with some remarkably badly designed ones.
