I still have a OnePlus 7 Pro running the older OS and I'm surprised by just how much I still like it. I think it's better than my S22.

Kirios posted:I find it very hard to believe the 6/6 Pro only did 3 million sales. That's a tremendously popular phone that I see all over the place out in the wild. Certainly more than I ever saw the 3. That's probably the first time someone's used "Pixel" and "tremendously popular" in the same sentence. That said, Google's phones have sold terribly since the Nexus days, I don't think they're in any danger of being discontinued. It doesn't seem to me that sales success is the goal of the Pixel line, I get the impression it's more of an Android/AI testbed for Google. If anything selling too well might create unwanted tension with Google's OEM partners.

My P7Pro pre-order is still listed as "prepared to ship" even though I ordered on launch day; is that normal? It still says the expected delivery is Oct 13-14. Just figured it would have been shipped by now, unless they're shipping it from....down the street?

The box you receive will have the original label on it underneath the bullshit one they slapped on it after recalling it off the delivery truck as a personal gently caress you from their shipping vendor.

Also I was able to get an additional 10% off for using my storecard (which wasn't an available offer for the 6a). So I got the 6. Also free same day shipping yay.

While I make a final decision, the credit on the Google Store just gets credited back to the credit card I use to pay, yes? So it isn't 899 - tradein value over 24 months, it'll be 899 over 24 months, and I'll get a XXX credit when they accept my old phone?

Mine might be shipped via priority mail? That's the shipping option it gave me. And yesterday USPS sent me an Informed Delivery email with a package on the way from Louisville KY originating at a depot, with an ETA of Friday. Don't have anything else that would match that... But I don't have a shipping notice from Google yet. We'll see!

Reminder that the review embargo drops tomorrow. Also, it's been "confirmed" (as much as it can be I guess) that G2 is still using 5nm. Though, this may not be a huge deal since Samsung's 4nm process is a mess (see SD8 Gen 1) and G2 did switch to A78 cores for the mid which should be more efficient and faster than the A76. It's probably likely the modem is on a better process than 7nm like last years. The only reason why I have confirmed in quotes is Google really didn't give a straight answer. They said "Our final architecture, which includes 5nm". Samsung also has two different 5nm nodes, 5LPE and 5LPP. The later is new and the former was in use for Tensor G1 (and was used for SD888). And the real reason for my post (and why I put actual news stuff on top so as not to piss off anyone) Fedex says I have a package coming now .

bull3964 posted:Reminder that the review embargo drops tomorrow. Is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 not meant to be really good? Or do you mean Samsung's equivalent is shite by comparison? I was in work today and wept as the battery dropped like a rock just sitting there, idling on the mobile data connection. I almost hope the Pixel 7 is crap in this regard because I'm experiencing major FOMO if that complaint is resolved.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 not meant to be really good? SD8 Gen 1 isn't a great chipset. It's really inefficient, gets hot, and thermally throttles. SD8+ Gen 1 is massively better even though it's really just the same thing on TSMC's 4nm process.

Google hasn't used a Qualcomm CPU since the Pixel 5a over a year ago. I wouldn't really call it a leak or rumor. Google designing and using their own SoCs has been like the headline banner feature since the 6 came out.

So... I completely clusterfucked my phone. Where (on the forums) do I go to annoy people about how to fix it? Tried everything I can with Google searching, accomplished spending like $30 on misc hardware that didn't help, so I figured it's time to ask for some help.

I'd start here, but you'll need to be a lot more specific. We don't even know the model nor what has been done to it.

It's a blu g90 pro. My list of "boy that wasn't smart": 1: got wet 2: thought it had dried out, turns out it hadn't. 3: attempted to remove screen since it was black anyway, because I thought I could at least replace that. hosed up the screen. 4: I still see some light on the screen when I hit the power button so it still sorta works. 5: attempted to hook it to a USBC to HDMI to hook into my tv, no joy. No signal on any tv I have or the projector I have. 6: it does charge up using the charging cable BUT I don't hear any sounds, but I dunno if that's because it's on mute or if the speaker is hosed. I can tell it's on somehow because when I use the fingerprint scanner it vibrates a bit. 7: 90% sure it's in airplane mode. I did that back when I turned it off to let it dry out, but before the screen went all black. I did power it in, enter the pin through the USB keyboard and asked Google assistant to turn on wifi but I have no idea if it did or not. Yea it's hosed and I'm an idiot for trying to remove/replace the screen on my own but now I'm just kinda clueless on where to go next. I can't enable USB debugging because I have no working screen and I can't really do anything with adb until that's enabled. So, basically, I'm clusterfucked on this one. I have stuff I'd rather not lose, but I have no idea what to try next. Any ideas?
