Not sure if I like the barely any lip thing on the fabric case, but it's not too bad. I do like how easy it is to do gestures though since I constantly fought with the Spigen on my Pixel 4 XL.

Not sure about "sending" it, but if you are logged in to the same Google account on both devices you can go Chrome -> History -> Tabs from other devices and see all the tabs you have open on your phone and grab it from there.

Mat Cauthon posted:The exact same thing happened to me today ; my OG pixel died about 75% through the data transfer process. I had to charge it back up to 50% and then reconnect it, the transfer process picked up where it left off. For whatever reason the Pixel 5 didn't drop out of the process while I was charging the other phone, probably because I left the transfer cable plugged into it the whole time. If you reconnect your phone it might do the same thing for you, otherwise you just have to start over. Did a factory reset and tried it again. The same thing happened but this time I kept the cable plugged in while I charged my OG pixel. The pixel 5 seems really nice but my phone is really warm after using it for a bit. This is really worrying me because my pixel 1 got super warm and the battery poo poo itself at the same time. The other weird thing is the speaker volume. Playing puzzle and dragons some of the sounds are super loud, while some sounds are super quiet. Which is really different from my OG pixel where all sounds had the same volume. Really bizarre.

Alright, so after using my Simply Sage Pixel 5 tonight, it's getting really warm on the side opposite the camera. This is both interesting and incredibly unsettling, as my OG Pixel never heated up doing the same things I'm doing with this Pixel 5.

FAUXTON posted:gently caress me I never noticed when they changed that to "chrome" instead of printing Yeah it's all manner of hosed up. The Chrome share function also has exactly the same link and it will show up on the Share Sheet in the scrolly part. The top "above the fold" section of the Share Sheet is for app-specific actions that, if left unspecified, I think just have Copy and Nearby in them, otherwise they have specific actions related to just that app. For Photos it's creating a shared album with who you select and for Chrome it's Copy, Send to Devices, and Print. This is fairly new, I think Android 10. You would think the universal part of the Share Sheet would have the same Chrome > Send to Devices link you get within Chrome on third party apps when they share but you don't. I don't know why but I assume it's restricted. You also never get the Chrome > Send to Devices in other Google apps' Share Sheets. It seems to be a work in progress because the link to that always jumps around.

CLAM DOWN posted:I learned this tonight too! Thread continues to rule. Circularly, the only reason I knew about all of this was a question in this very thread where someone was upset that Android Chrome defaults to Mobile Bookmarks because they wanted to use bookmarks to send things home to read later. I recommend Join for that purpose usually, but the native system works well as long as you aren't like me and prevented from logging in at work. Either way I documented all the ways the Send to Device is put into Chrome for that post and so I'm glad that the research ended up benefiting others because the person who asked the question never posted in the thread again to say if it worked for their purposes.

I use a phone wallet. Very dad object, but it's thin at least. I drop my phone on a hard surface monthly and it's still pristine after 3+ years. I'll be doing the same with the next phone.

https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_5_teardown_video_offers_a_bit_more_context_for_the_screen_gap_issue-news-46063.php Looks like the gap showing up in some P5's is actually cosmetic and won't cause an issue for water resistance. It's certainly not a feature as some Google CS reps are claiming though. There are big clamps on the screen inside so it shouldn't get any worse though.

There used to be a Chrome to Phone extension made by Google, but in true Google fashion they killed it before they fully implemented it directly in Chrome. Good to see its mostly back in and functional.

You're certain that your desktop and your phone are using the same Google account? I'd imagine the option wouldn't show up if the account only shows one active device.

I can send/receive files through windows bluetooth deal, but on my phone if I try to send to nearby devices, my PC, nothing, shows up. No button in desktop chrome bar, and no "send to device" option of right clicking tabs. Sync is on on both devices. I've added my phone as a bluetooth device. Not sure what I'm missing or am doing wrong.

The camera cutout is misaligned in it but it doesn't obscure the images. I got some sort of wireless charger after reviewing it on Amazon but joke's on them, I'm returning then and ordering another make.

i've been obsessively consuming reviews and opinion pieces around the pixel 5 bc i'm absolutely itching to finally upgrade from my 2 XL. finally decided to head to best buy and just see the thing in person. i took some comparison shots with my 2 XL and the 5 in the store. used the "share nearby" feature to send myself the photos from the 5 (neat feature) and i have to say the results from this very informal and haphazard test were really surprising to me. Pixel 2  Pixel 5  Pixel 2  Pixel 5  the 5 sometimes gets more fine details but also seems to make things blurrier than they need to be and also blue-er overall. the 2 XL seems like shots are brighter with more in focus. after this test i'm having a hard time convincing myself to "upgrade"

It's the same Sony image sensor. We knew this. There is an additional ultrawide lens on the 5, but other than that we weren't expecting major photo upgrades. There are many other reasons to upgrade from the Pixel 2, and they've already been posted repeatedly in this thread (and I even replied directly to you with them).

I think if you take like 10 shots, one every 30 seconds starting with it in your pocket every time, you will get the variance in quality you're seeing. These phones don't dial in like a DSLR on manual. They are constantly adjusting the settings based on what that old sensor is picking up. If anything, your photos just prove that the quality is the exact same, save for some minor differences in color temperature.

All Google apps can be disabled but that's not what OP wants. He's looking to hide them from the launcher, not remove them. This isn't a bloatware thing, it's a stock launcher thing.

Disabling is nice, wasn't aware that it would hide apps from the app drawer. Still stuck with Messages+ which I'm not using. I bought the phone unlocked from Amazon, not sure if that app comes from Google or if a carrier app managed to find its way into the phone by updating with a Verizon sim in it or what.
