Thermopyle posted:Lol, why did they go straight to it being a flash storage issue? There's like a billion more likely software-related reasons for this. Yeah, not only are glitches normal in any kind of software, it's far more likely google's code is doing something fucky vs an underlying hardware issue, like wtf tech journalists. bull3964 posted:While Pixel 4 owners may be having woes waiting for apps to use the new biometric API, things are starting to get worse in the Samsung side of things. This whole fingerprint issue is really quite remarkable, and an interesting look at Samsung's lack of sufficient QA haha CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Oct 21, 2019 |

The SOT and standby time on my P2 is so abhorrent that quite frankly I will be absolutely impressed if the P4 experience could be any worse. In the past two weeks especially, it feels like the battery on this thing has been absolutely chunked after hardly any use. Show up to work at 7:30am, check it a single time, and by 9am, I'm down to almost 70% and that's without the wifi radio on. Anyway, I'm looking forward to tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure I will be one of many posters offering their views on the device

I'm sure the Pixel 4/4XL will be fine phone choices despite their weaknesses, just like many other phones seems like there are enough compromises that we don't need a gang tag though just sayin

I don't know if it's an app (how does PocketCasts use so much battery playing downloaded files in the background?), Android 10, or the battery. I'd be willing to get a new battery if I was certain it was the culprit. I've only had the phone one year, so I'm not mentally prepared to replace it. Otherwise, it's the perfect phone for me.

Yeah, after two years the battery on me and my mom's Pixels has absolutely tanked. Part of the reason I wanted to upgrade this year. Speaking of, waiting for FedEx to deliver my new phone is reminding me why I never like them. It's supposed to come today, but the last tracking event is showing it arriving in Columbus (I live about 30 miles away). I put it on a hold at a location down the street because I had plans and I didn't feel like waiting literally all day for it. Well now it's past 6 and I'm back home, tracking hasn't changed at all. I mean if it comes tomorrow that's ok but don't make me wait around all day because it's "supposed" to come today

I've got 37 minutes of SOT today and I'm at 68% with it otherwise just sitting on my desk or in my pocket. Went on a short vacation over the weekend and had to charge it twice Saturday after taking a few dozen photos and using walking navigation during the day. I'm eyeing battery cases or uBreakifix's battery replacement but it is so obviously not (just) the chemistry aging. It is easily 20% lower at the end of a typical day than right before updating to 10.

There have been a few articles saying that the P4 works at 11watts wireless charging on any pad that supports it. I'm honestly not so sure as I have a Samsung fast charging pad and it's very clearly only charging at 5w. It could be Samsung being Samsung. I don't have another 10w charger to test and I probably won't because I really don't have a need for yet another charger.

My boyfriend is asking me if buying the Pixel 3 on Amazon (shipped and sold by Amazon) gets the same Pixel support as buying it through the Play Store, anyone know? I know you're hosed if you buy it through a carrier.

When I updated to Android 10 on my Pixel 3 I gave it a few days before resetting to factory settings for a fresh install. That definitely helped battery life and memory management for me. Maybe something to consider. I always do this after a major version update.

most of the Pixel 4 reviews I've read have been fairly complimentary with the exception of the normally pro-Pixel Android Central, which currently is running a double headline that is, ah, Not Good

Funny enough, I did do a factory reset after updating (about a week or two ago), trying to figure out why my Visible service wasn't making calls or texts. Didn't really make a difference that I could tell.

I'm at 60% on my device protect refurbed Pixel 1 after 55 minutes of SOT. Bit over an hour and a half of podcast listening both with and without bluetooth today. I think that's decent for it but also I need to get a new phone anyway since yesterday it didn't see calls or texts for like 4 hours before I rebooted the phone.

Reports are the video recording is pretty trash, which is disappointing, but not a deal breaker (for me). I need a new phone and this is the only one with a 90Hz screen (available with warranty in my country), so I'm getting it anyway. Would have probably gotten the "small" one if it had a decent battery, so I guess Google's hobbling worked to get extra $ from me.

Ordered a 128gb black 4XL from Google on the first day....originally estimated a Nov 6 arrival but will be here on Wednesday for anyone curious as to shipping stuff. Probably because of so few orders lol. Literally only upgrading from the 3XL this year because I smashed the gently caress out of my screen and the charging port is being a pain in the rear end.

strap on revenge posted:i am not having any battery issues on 10 on my P2XL My wife and I got Pixel 2 XLs at the same time - hers has a great battery and she still loves it, mine had a poo poo battery and I "upgraded" to the 3 XL, which also had a poo poo battery. My Pixel 1 XL was solid though, and so is my S10+. She had such a terrible time with the Nexus 6P battery that she is afraid to upgrade anymore, but she's one of those weirdos who doesn't want to change phones every six months.

Ok, my first full rundown of the P4 XL. 2 hours of Spotify streaming to Bluetooth headphones. Misc Awful use. Chrome. Feedly. Facebook. Twitter. About 40 minutes of pocketcasts streaming via Bluetooth to my car. Some random photo taking. Setting up my MFA apps and setting up my Galaxy Watch Active 2. Mostly all wifi since I work from home. 6hrs 40 minutes of SoT. About 14 hours off charger total. Not great compared to my OP7P, but serviceable for me.

Yo my essential ph-1 is still chugging along and is updated to Android 10. Y'all trippin' over this new poo poo should have bought in. Like what you really doing that needs 12gb ram and six camera modules. Editing babbies first horror movie on the fly?

I still regret not getting the green essential phone, and would tbh still probably spend way too much money on one.

Combat Pretzel posted:My S10 is at best nearly a month late with security updates (as in you might get it end of the month instead of the beginning). The October update installed around the 10th here. That's definitely why. If you have a carrier S10, which most people here would have, you get security updates once a quarter.
