I suppose it's not likely buds will be back in stock in time. Bummer to miss that.

I've been really looking forward to the full release of 12 after weeks of System UI crashing while doing various tasks on Beta 5.1. The good news is that we've upgraded from System UI crashes, which only really hang the phone (Pixel 4) for a few seconds......to the entire loving phone hardcrashing and restarting itself. This is a very cool and good feature and I am glad to have it. At least my At A Glance widget shows the weather again

You can't trade in a Pixel 5a to get the 6 Pro

Did you do something to fix it? He's gone through every setting he can think of. Edit: Second factory reset and weather magically came back. Guess it was just a Google Thing. incogneato fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Oct 20, 2021 |

Well after thinking over some more, I went for the seafoam 6. Cancelled my yellow Pro, so try that if you want one!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y8rdML9fpI 7:25 or so in. David mentions that Marques found the telephoto impressive and you can tell that he both wants to say a ton but knows he can't and very quickly says he just had a very very short demo with it to move on. I can only imagine that after the cameras stopped he was like "Dude, you know I couldn't say anything about camera quality!"

I've never used a screen protector but I'm thinking about it for the 6. Anyone have a good recommendation?

Kind of a bummer that some features went missing from RC to the final version of Android 12, not being able to change system font and icon shapes anymore is lame.

I updated to Android 12 tonight and an app I use for work did not carry over. I went back into the Play Store to redownload it, but it fails the install every time. The app is RoadWarrior Route Planner. The store just says "Can't install RoadWarrior Route Planner. Try again, and if it doesn't work, see common ways to fix the problem." Anybody see this before with other apps? This is A Problem if I can't get this poo poo working. e: clearing the Google Play Store cache in Settings did nothing.

Holy moley, the biggest carrier in Australia is selling the Pixel 6 for $799 aud including tax, which is equal to $523 US. That's $200 less than the Pixel 5.

Ars has a long form about tensor and they talk about the two bigs.quote:"When it's a steady-state problem where, say, the CPU has a lighter load but it's still modestly significant, you'll have the dual X1s running, and at that performance level, that will be the most efficient," Carmack said. So, they use the two bigs a once at a scaled down frequency to get better speed an efficiency as dual A76s at a MUCH lower thermal overhead. It's going to be interesting as most 888s overheat in some fashion. I wonder if they are really overheating due to maxed out A78 cores running full tilt on multithreaded workloads which this dual X1 design might sidestep. quote:So what are those new capabilities? Here's one: the previous Pixel phones' incredible camera performance despite their ancient sensors is thanks to its HDR+ algorithm, which, with a single button press, does exposure stacking across 10 photos taken in half a second and merges them into a single photo using machine learning. Thanks to the ancient camera hardware, though, the video quality on Pixel phones has been pretty bad, because there's just no way that you can run something like image stacking on a video... until now! The Pixel 6 can run Google's HDR algorithm on 4K video for every single frame at 60FPS. Welcome to the world of video image stacking, brought to you by Google Tensor. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/10/the-google-silicon-team-gives-us-a-tour-of-the-pixel-6s-tensor-soc/ Having a chip like this at $599 seems insane on paper. Let's hope it delivers on the software side. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Oct 20, 2021 |

Changed it to my carrier and saved a bit, got a charger included as well. But they do not make it easy to price compare

Aw man, they got rid of holding the power button to get quick smart home controls. Are those somewhere else now? It's so annoying how lots of ordinary stuff I do on my phone is just a couple extra taps now. Who is Android 12 for?

Any idea why the status bar is turning dumb colors when a pseudo-web-view (not sure what to call it - when you open a web page from e.g. email)? Even on Android 11 I'd sometimes get white text on a white bar, but now I'm getting grey text on a black bar:

I would say my biggest fear for the Pixel 6 right now are if the Samsung modems are any good.

My biggest gripe so far with A12 is that turning the wifi on/off is like a secondary menu now unless I can change it somehow? I turn off wifi when I get in my car because Android Auto removed that for some loving reason.

So pixel pass offered me less on a trade-in than the Google store did a few hours ago. 250 vs 400 something. So I guess I'm going to skip on the pixel pass for now.

ok so that's a lot of thoughts. i'm not mad i'm just disappointed

Just picked up two spigen pixel 6 pro cases, rugged armor and slim armor cs, and am very happy with both. I've bought like half a dozen spigen cases per year and they seem to be better quality than the recent Samsung ones. Really good texture and just enough protection. Edit: ah poo the slim armor cs doesn't work with wireless charging. Should have known. UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Oct 20, 2021 |

I just ordered the liquid air, based mostly on how it looks. Hopefully that's a decent one--I honestly couldn't really tell the difference between the models online. I've always been happy with Spigen in the past.

I grabbed a Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I don't generally like hard polycarbonate, but the edges are TPU so I'm going to give it a shot. I don't want an all black case, it's so boring. I want the color of the phone to be visible. I've have Spigen full clear TPU in the past and liked it. They don't seem to make those anymore though. The clear TPU cases start to turn brown and yellow after 6 months or so, but I just buy a new one when I gets real bad.

I picked up the Spigen Tough Armor, a little pricey but I use the little kickstand a decent amount and the texture is such that if it falls out of my hand I must be unconscious, so it's protection in that way rather than actually worrying about what happens when it hits something. That's always been my approach with cases, just buy the grippiest thing I can find.

the pixel 6 says it's £599 in the UK and $599 in the US. I know US has tax to apply onto that, but isn't it only 10%? Is the UK just charging the equivalent of an extra $150 for this?
