It’s alive!

Received this today. I thought it was some emergency security fix given the odd update time.

And there’s no way to fix it short of flashing a new rom,as I understand. Just have to deal with the extra step now....

Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I’m afraid this feature won’t really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.

Just curious if anyone else has had this problem or knows a fix for it. On my pixel 8 using the hotspot I’m only able to get about 500 Kbps on whichever device I connect to. I’ve tested it on multiple devices and they are all getting the same speed. The phone itself is getting 150-300 mbps download over 5g cell on tmobile...

Some of the leaked marketing shots:...

The ad shows Google’s new mid-range device in blue and off-white color variants, and it’s abundantly clear that it is the Pixel 8a. For one, the device in question has two cameras and a blue color, something the standard Pixel 8 wouldn’t fit. It’s also lacking a microphone near the cameras....

In case some of you want to take pictures tomorrow 😁

On my pixel 6, I don’t know what update changed this, but you have to tap the music symbol on the lock screen to get it to ID a song. I want it to listen all the time like it used to so I can no-hassle scrobble vinyl to last.fm. Any ideas?

Hi all,...

Most, if not all of the new image and video stuff is done in the cloud, so why is it that only the Pixel 8 and up are getting them? It’s hard to recommend a Pixel, or buy another one when they seem to only be focused on selling the newest phone....

It’s about time to move on from my 2xl, I’m shooting for a used/referb for under $250.

When I got my Pixel 8 Pro, which I generally love, and Lock Screen Shortcuts were a new thing, I configured on for flashlight and one for DND. At first, I felt like the buttons weren’t sensitive enough and they were difficult to activate unless I got my finger JUST right, didn’t move, and held it the perfect amount of time....

Before this latest update (android 14 March update; pixel 7a), I used to get alarms both on my Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, and the phone speakers. That’s also true for the timer function....

From the release notes, it provides the following fixes:...

Hot damn that’s a large update! Anyone know what’s in it?...

I simply didn’t like the device. At first I loved it, but after the honeymoon period I found myself slowly regretting my purchase....
