butt dickus posted:there's no option to disable messages or phone, though I'm pretty sure that's because the infrastructure for handling calls and SMS/MMS/RCS are inclusive in the apps so that it can be updated without pushing a system image. Obviously either can be replaced, but that's the abstracted UI layer on top of that infrastructure. There of course are a host of associated APKs that handle that stuff but I'm pretty sure their update mechanism is through the Phone and Messages apps and in order to keep compatibility with the cellular networks you can't remove updates to them. (Though if I recall correctly some of this was split off into the Carrier Services app which is separately updated.)

Since I moved from the 3 to the 5, all of my text message threads have been split into two threads, one of them marked from the correct person and the other marked “Unknown sender” So like, every text to and from a given person before Oct 14 is in its own thread marked Unknown sender. Every text AFTER said date is under their phone number. Anyone know what’s up?

SMS transferred over OK for me just now, going from a 3 to a 5. I have a different problem with the 5-- none of the ringtones/notification/alarm sounds will preview? I mean, I the phone won't be set to anything other than vibrate except in the rarest of circumstances, so it's not particularly important, but... they should make noise? I made sure all the volume sliders were all the way up. Searching doesn't bring me anything useful about it. Edit: Oh no, the phone ringtone doesn't sound at all. I just tried calling it from my work phone after making sure the slider was up. This is bad. Edit 2: DND was on, and turning that off got ringtones back. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to obey my settings about letting repeat callers or contacts to ring the phone. Hopefully my vibrating watch will do that job. So not a terrible thing, just an annoying thing. AMDroid still goes off nice & loud, so that's good, at least. effika fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Nov 1, 2020 |

I'd imagine rebuilding the cache would reassociate the numbers in the store with contacts. Also make sure the current install has its permission to access contacts. effika posted:Edit 2: DND was on, and turning that off got ringtones back.

For a 10 year old's first phone, I'm not going to do better than the 2020 Moto E for $99 on sale at BBY, right? $50 cheaper than Amazon. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/motoro...D=0&mpid=221109 I think the only other decent choice near this price is the Nokia 2.3 for $130?

I just noticed that the Moto E and the Nokia 2.4 are both microusb, and my 3 kids beat the hell out of those charge ports as they randomly guess which plug orientation is correct. I'm thinking I'll spend an extra $50 for a Moto G Fast to get USB-C like the grown-up phones in our house.

Messaging apps don't store messages which is why clearing its data does not erase them. The messages are stored in something called the message store that only one app can access at a time. That's why you have to specify a default messaging app and how Android allows you to use different apps without each having to build its own database.

For the other person who posted this issue, another Canadian buddy of mine has the same problem and seems to be a Canada/Canada Post thing - I still don't have a valid tracking number for my Pixel 5 and it was supposed to arrive this past Wed/Thurs. Google Support refunded my expedited shipping fee, and gave me $65 CAD store credit as an apology. So if you're in the same boat as me, I highly recommend contacting them.

I got my phone on Friday! They wedged it in the door. Really good way to store ~$1,800 in phones (wife got one too). The screen on these pixel 5s is amazing. I do have two nitpicks: 1) The sound quality is really weird. Like, coming from my pixel, the volume is all over the place on the pixel 5. Sometimes it sounds "normal", meaning that the volume out of the bottom and top speakers is the same. Other times the top speaker volume is SUPER loud and I can't figure out why. Calls also sound really weird. The entire screen has these tiny microvibrations, presumably from the under-glass speaker. Not gonna lie, I wish there was a way to control the volume of this top speaker independently from the bottom one, because it is really getting in the way of my enjoyment of the phone. 2) The phone gets kinda warm when I'm playing games (around 33 C). It's weird, because my pixel 1 never heated up, except when the battery was making GBS threads itself. All in all a really good phone but holy poo poo this top speaker is so goddamn annoying to deal with. An example is in Puzzle and Dragons, the music and *most* of the sounds come out of the bottom speaker. But there are certain sounds that play out of the top speaker and they're like 3x the volume of everything else in the game. So the options are, turn the sound down so you can't hear anything *except* the super loud sounds, or turn the volume up so you can hear everything, but then certain sounds are earblasting. The bottom speaker seems okay to me! Anyone else experiencing this? Google has offered to swap my phone for a new one over the heat thing, but I'm not sure if this is normal. They seemed to think it wasn't, but my wife's phone does the same thing. I got a Simply Sage; she got a black one. Edit: Added temperature.

CLAM DOWN posted:Where is the cutout? I'm looking at the images here: https://www.caseologycases.com/products/pixel-5-case-parallax I've seen a reviews on a few cases that it has a cutout for a non-existent speaker, and the fingerprint scanner doesn't quite line up perfectly. Multiple manufacturers must have been going off of some kind of pre-release mystery specs. That's why I haven't bought one yet. Also looking for a camera glass protector that does have the microphone hole cut out.

The fabric case I have is perfect cut...the rest (including the Spigen I also have) seem to be off, yeah. EDIT: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Google-CEO-promises-exciting-hardware-for-2021-as-Q1-2021-flagship-Pixel-rumours-emerge.500960.0.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EFJ_2QuRk4 According to Alphabet's Q3 2020 Earnings Call, there are some devices in store for 2021 that they think will be "exciting". There are also rumors heating up of a true Pixel flagship with Google's 5nm CPU next year, probably in March. https://twitter.com/MaxWinebach/status/1321630453275664385 As he said, just a rumor, but still, the call isn't and gives some credibility to that rumor.

More importantly, can't really see a reason to buy it at this point. The Pixel 5 is like a broken in pair of shoes, so comfy. It would need a revolutionary camera improvement or like a sapphire display or something.

If Google was ready to launch their own silicon in March, we would have seen something by now. Maybe we'll see a 5a in March, but I sincerely doubt we'll see a new flagship then unless it's something like a folding phone.

The top notification area of the 5 just seems comically huge and I wish I'd gotten a bezel with real top speaker out of it, instead of a place where the time and camera hole are that sometimes changes to a coordinating color. The lack of bottom bezel has been really nice, though. Took a few minutes to readjust how I held the phone and it's been smooth sailing since.

Mine has been crazy good except for YouTube Music that got all fucky and decided to keep the phone awake for 4 hours straight trying to make it's own little playlists for Smart Download. It got hung up on some song and kept trying over and over and over for 4 hours. I turned it off and things are fine now. YouTube Music kind of sucks.

Fast warning, apparently you can only do up to 100 texts a month without buying into their subscription service. It only counts texts that it actually pushes I think so if your pc is off/chrome isn't open I believe it doesn't count against you. Also while I'm at it I know it's been mentioned before but the screenshot functionality in android 11 is such a gigantic step down. I could get used to it not being in the power menu if that was it but using it the same way I used it before is more cumbersome in basically every way. It's somehow worse than the days when the only way to take a screenshot was the manual shortcut, which is unbelievable.
