Is there no way to remove the at a glance box on the top of the main screen page? Even when turning at a glance off it still displays the date and doesn't let me put any other widget or icon there

The fingerprint light is bright but not "blinding" whatsoever.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with Google assistant? A couple months ago when I was trouble shooting, I used the command "remind me at 9pm to take out the trash" and it would always respond with some variation of "I'm unable to do that, try again later" or just open a Google web search. I opened assistant today, and without saying anything, it set a reminder at 9pm to take out the trash'.

Some things I've noticed after a few days with the Pixel 6 Pro compared to my OnePlus 7 Pro: --apps are kept in memory much longer I had battery optimization turned off for a lot of stuff on my oneplus but even so, the pixel is a lot better about keeping apps in memory and that's really nice to have. --fingerprint reader is slightly worse Shame that physical sensors just arent feasible for a flagship anymore considering they function better and are cheaper to make but it is what it is. --display is noticeably more muted than the oneplus, which i had on the least vivid setting Really stood out to me at first, but I got used to this very quickly. --AOD is fantastic It's strange that it's not enabled by default since it keeps the fingerprint scanner active and thus makes the phone more convenient to use. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase despite some minor flaws that I guess just won't ever go away on Android (choppy scrolling in some apps, share menu and password autofill still being somewhat poor).

Camera performance when looking directly at the sun is pretty impressive. On Samsung this would just be a big black silhouette. Also got the bellroy leather case and it's super high quality look and feel but probably zero drop protection and extremely stiff buttons.

It's the best looking case I've seen, and I was hoping to get one when certain colors came back in stock. This Spigen Liquid Air is fine and functional, but I'm tired of plain black lumps. I miss my 3xl fabric case.

TVGM posted:There's a system-wide One-handed mode. I don't know if it's phone specific, but on the 6 Pro it's under Gestures. Unfortunately this is a feature of Android 12 and she's on 11. Also as you said, it disappears after a few seconds. Is there no way through root adb commands to accomplish this? Or even just some sort of app that will make the screen size smaller permanently?

The sun is shining down the river so stuff on the riverside is lit up fairly well. In your picture, the shore is completely in the shade, but you can still see some detail so it's not too bad.

My Pixel 3 has recently starting randomly pausing any media I am playing (Youtube, Plex, any of my audio apps, etc.). I can't find any rhyme or reason to it - bluetooth headphones connected, disconnected, updated from Android 11 to 12, optimized apps, unoptimized, it happens regardless of all of that. It's never unpaused anything though. Googling this is getting me nowhere. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? It's extremely annoying.

Does audio cut in or out? I'm wondering if your charge port is thinking a headphone adapter is plugged in? I've seen it happen if enough crud gets stuck in there over the years.

Good thinking about the charging port (thanks!). I cleaned it out just in case, but I don't think that's it. I caught it happening a couple times the other day while plugged in to my car using Android Auto.

The Plam phone is awful and unless you can find an unused one you can genuinely watch the battery tick down a percent per minute. They're hilarious as a novelty tho

FWIW, no restarts here with my P6P since I got it so it really seems like an outlier. I have to say, I'm fully enamored with this phone. Feels good to be back to stock Android (switched away from the Pixel 5 for daily use after the OP9P came out and been using the Z Flip 3 since release). Having stuff like call screen back is super nice. Don't get me wrong, I still like the Z Flip 3, but I think it'll only be pulling duty when I want a light carry and aren't worried about taking pictures. I hate to admit it since I liked the phone, but the only thing the OP9P has as an advantage now is charging speed and that's just not enough to keep it around. Also can't really see the point of the OP10P now, how could it possibly improve enough to justify any higher price than the P6P?. Same with S21 Ultra. It just holds a slight advantage at specific zoom situations, but otherwise the P6P is a better experience all the way around. I was going to hold on to it to maybe trade in on the S22 Ultra since they were talking about it basically being a Note, but I really don't know what I would actually do with it at this point so probably just going to sell it off instead. I wish it had a flat screen, but otherwise I think they nailed the shape. I've been wanting them to tighten the radius of the screen corners for awhile now and they are significantly more squared off than the previous iterations of Pixel and OnePlus. It really has more of a Note shape which I like, just a little rounder. I agree that night sight is a little hot as far as how much it brightens stuff, but that can be managed. I'm also really impressed with the low light shots it takes without night sight engaged. 2x digital zoom on the main camera has also been super useful for framing because I'm not really noticing any softness. I'm curious how they are doing it because they are still 12.5mp images. I would have thought if it was just a straight crop of the pixel binned output, it would be lower resolution. So, super rez zoom is doing some wizardry there. The metadata also retains the same focal length as 1x as well, but that could be a bug. Battery life has been great for me, been on track for 7-9hr SoT over the course of a waking day which puts it up there with some of the best Android phones I've used. Most of the improvements I could think of for the P6P are mostly just software tweaks at this point. I can't really think of any feature that I find outright missing or deficient.

Blooster posted:she needs the unlimited photo backup of Pixel phones. Do they even still have that? I like how you have the choice between two objectively hideous color options or just black. Jesus gently caress would it be so hard to make a phone thats not ugly? We dont all slap cases on them Also p cool that buying direct, they will finance the $200 protection plan buttttt not the phone itself? What the gently caress is that? I'm hosed anyway, if I wanna ditch my S20 I have to pay off my 9 months remaining tab balance plus the bonus they gave me when I got it to lessen the up front cost, so thats over $500 in one shot. I gotta deal with this crapola for another 6 months at least. codo27 fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 1, 2021 |

Full resolution unlimited backup stopped at pixel 2, I believe. I know 4 and on do not have it. There's some amount of low res backup, but not original quality. And not to be rude, but seriously, what you're trying to do is fundamentally change how the phone works. You make it sound super easy, and it's not going to be that way. I get that it's a problem, but your requested solutions don't exist or don't work. You need a smaller phone, maybe an iphone mini? Or to play with Android 12 and see if it suits the need.

For small-ish phones, the Galaxy S22 coming out early next year is supposed to be smaller than the S21. Not 5" but around 6". With the small bezels du jour, it'll be smaller than the G5 plus I still have, which is good enough. If it turns out to suck and there's no other similarly sized Android phone on the market, I'm changing teams.

Or the SE 2nd gen, if it's more about reaching everywhere on the screen more easily one handed rather than a smaller physical device per se.
