ThermoPhysical posted:I checked that too and it's not showing up at all. Preferred Network itself isn't even there. Those settings are determined by your carrier. For whatever stupid reason some carriers lock you out of them. You can turn off 5G by entering *#*#4636#*#* in the dialler and changing preferred network in one of those menus. You'll want to change it whatever it's currently set to but without the NR (NR is 5g).

Pipski posted:All of a sudden, the 3rd button on my Nova Launcher nav bar -- the square, the one that allows you to scroll between recent apps -- has completely stopped working. Dunno if it's Android 12 related (on a Pixel 5a) but anyone know how to get it going again? Anyone else had it happen? I saw this on my 4xl after upgrading to 12, and also on the 6Pro. Usually turning the screen off for a few seconds fixes it. Otherwise changing the default home app corrects it. My assumption is that it's a Nova issue and will get fixed at some point.

wandler20 posted:I removed my case and it's so much better. A little slick so I'll still throw it in a case in certain situations but otherwise I think no case is the way to go. My only concern is scratching the camera glass. If I were god-king I'd require phones to have flat glass and a little protective lip around the screen and camera. That's all it would take to make me comfortable with going caseless.

For those of you that didn't cash in on the Pixel A offer due to store madness, Google is now starting to send out redemption codes for a free copy. I just redeemed mine, 24th estimated delivery.

Backspace a few times and retype the last few characters. Some folks on other forums were having problems with that.

I'm trying to see if I get better battery life with 5G off, is Accubattery still good? Google has obfuscated the battery stats a bit too much for this testing (I get why they did it, janitoring your phone is bad, I just want to test this).

The Verizon store at my local mall has a handful of Pixel 6/Pro cases. They weren't on display, I had to ask about them. There's a slim Verizon branded (just a small V on the side of the case) frosted plastic case I might actually keep for $20. They have a 30-day return policy so hopefully my other cases come in within that timeframe and I can decide what to keep.

Android Auto question for Pixel 6 havers: I set it in my phone to tell it not to resume media after a phone call, but whenever I get off the phone, it still insists on staying on USB audio. It didn't do this with my Note, and it's annoying af to have to keep switching it back to the radio after a call. Am I missing another setting somewhere?

My original ship date was 10/28 and was moved to 11/12-11/18. Sometime today, it moved up to 11/1-11/4 which seems odd because it's already 11/2.

Incessant Excess posted:Not really sure about the implications of this but apparently the power consumption of the display at low brightness is unusually high: I take all of these "analysis" with a grain of salt because we do not know the intended design decisions behind them. For example, you know what I haven't seen complaints of? Green tint at lower brightness and other uniformity issues that have popped up on other devices (including the S21 Ultra). Gamma seems very well controlled on this device as brightness decreases. Maybe that increases power consumption? Who knows? There are a whole host of other things that go into a display other than power consumption and we don't know what design decision was made here that lead to higher consumption. So, taking it in isolation means nothing. It's an interesting peek behind the curtain, but ultimately what matters is the whole device. I am so utterly tired of all the hyperbolic terms about everything "big fail" "absurd". This is an offshoot of everyone trying to min-max everything. "I must keep brightness at 120nits since it's the minimum that I find I can see UI elements and it must be saving me power. Wait, its not saving me power?" *FASTBALLS DEVICE INTO WALL* I'm also sick of people going "why didn't so and so manufacturer put Samsung's latest displays in their devices?" Yeah, it's because no one but samsung gets the latest displays in their devices (or apple that spends and ungodly amount of money with Samung to get something custom.) They keep that tech to themselves, it's the same reason why you don't see another device with ISOCELL HM3 and devices were only recently released other than Samsung that use the ISOCELL HM2. They keep the latest tech to themselves for a generation.

ilkhan posted:Could be a setting on the car. Checked both. Were both set to off. For me, it's a silly question because most of the time I listen to one radio station and it's available through their AA app. But I have a feeling it's a change that hit with 12, and it will become a BFD the next time my wife drives the car and AA flips to USB and not whatever lovely commercial radio station she was listening to.

I've been extremely disappointed with my Pixel 4a's screen, since it has a flicker reminiscent of 60Hz CRTs of olden days. As in if I wave the screen in front of my eyes too fast, I can see like triplets of every bright line as they flicker on and off during movement. More oddly, it seems incompatible with my glasses somehow, so if I look at the screen through the lenses, I get very pronounced chromatic aberration, where the top of an icon fringes cyan and the bottom red. My Nexus 4 didn't have it, and I can't really see it with the naked eye. Is series 6 like that as well?

Seems some people are having phantom calling issues with the pixel 6. There's a reddit thread. My wife's phone called a former coworker that she hasn't talked to in years twice and mine called my mom. The second time her phone did it I was right beside her watching tv and she was nowhere near the phone. It was recording us on a voicemail which could have been awkward.

I figured it was because I got really thin lenses for my prescription.

Welp my Pro is officially in FedEx hell. Last Thursday night it definitely wasn't going to arrive on time and sure enough got delayed, so I requested pickup at a local store instead cause I wasn't sure If be home or available to grab it soon as it arrived and didn't want to take chances that it'd get nabbed if left right out front. The redirect request for store pickup went through ok, but now it's been sitting in a Fedex facility somewhere in my city since Friday, and every single day since updates that it'll be ready for pickup the next day, then gets delayed again and just says pending once more, and moves nowhere. Hopefully this is just the result of Fedex being horribly understaffed.

FogHelmut posted:Seems like the assistant has a mind of its own. drat advanced AI chips. Oh, so that's what that was. I've had it do this to me twice now. Weirdly both times it was the same phrase ("call Olympia"). The first time it interpreted it as Olympia Toyota, a car dealer we had placed calls to about 2 years ago. Today it just told me it couldn't find Olympia in my contacts. Both times I was not touching my phone at all, it was just sitting on a counter. Weirdly, in the failed second one, it responded twice: once in my chosen assistant voice, then a couple seconds later in the default one. Better to phantom call a business than an awkward call to an old acquaintance, I suppose.
