That's just an old TV problem, the back light puts out more and more blue as the LED degrades

Your phone camera is just more sensitive to it than your eyes

Is there a way to get my cell connection to turn off if it connects to a specific wifi, and to turn back on when it disconnects? On a pixel 3a

Macrodroid could probably do that

Tasker too obviously but it would be massive overkill

Are you actually seeing it reboot?

I've definitely had to enter my pin in the last few days as if I'd restarted but my uptime is over 300 hours

So yeah it could just be the interface crashing

If that's the way those apps are behaving, I would have questions.

If they are using some sort of older biometric API that only fingerprint sensors work with, that means they haven't maintained that bit of code since before 2019 when the Pixel 4 / 4 XL was introduced.

Android devs not targeting newer APIs till it get forced on them is nothing new

If it works well enough why change it

Per the text in your screenshot, it only turns off the tiles from being displayed at the very top of the Photos view: it still generates and stuffs the same tiles in amongst your photos anyway. Crudely edited for privacy:

I mean it in the most intuitive way. Does carrying around legal briefs in a Jansport backpack feel serious? Does breaking news to a patient while wearing either a bright orange Swatch or a diamond encrusted Movado? A Miata or a Humvee feel like a serious car?

You can say to the above any of 'Yes', 'Who cares?', or 'Phones are nothing like these examples'. That's why I say it's my subjective feeling and I don't think anyone else should have it because I don't even want to feel this way.

I know right?

You can select text from the recent apps screen, and it is a useful way of getting around non selectable text in apps etc

So on a pixel you'd swipe up then long press

on my default as gently caress pixel7, with the search bar on the homescreen, I used to be able to tap the microphone and say poo poo like 'remind me at time thing' and it would do it without having to use assistant or anything that I can't be hosed with.

they just disabled that and now it opens a google search

wtf?

I never actually used the microphone button but you realise you were using assistant by doing that right?

A diagonal swipe up from the bottom corners will do the same thing
