- Start date
Not sure why but the little weather that's normally under the time and day is missing off my phone today. I never used a widget before
Welp updated to current beta and read halfway thru if you do update you will miss out on the android 13 beta >.>
Gonna wait to I/O to update to Android 13, I have the feeling next week they gonna release another version with all the new features
Did you installed the Android 13 Beta? Or the other one?
And AFAIK you can upgrade to the Android 13 Beta without wiping if you're on the other beta
I think you can learn what beta fo you have on the settings page, it should need to say something like QPR Beta 3 or Android 13
QPR Beta 3 is the Android 12 Beta with the Pixel Drop Features test and the new modem driver, not Android 13
QPR Beta 3 is the Android 12 Beta with the Pixel Drop Features test and the new modem driver, not Android 13
Its pretty hard to find but I found it:
Android 12
S3B1.220420.005
So I can't get the Android 13 beta?
According to this article you can move to the Android 13 beta easily without wiping:
PSA: You don't have to wipe your Android 12 QPR3 Pixel to install the Android 13 Beta
To move between betas you need to change the option on the android beta website
I swear my fingerprint sensor just keeps getting worse.
Doesn't help I love in a sunny state so it hardly ever works outside, but even inside it feels like it takes forever to unlock now if it works at all.
Thankfully I have a pattern password which is honestly faster most of the time. I'm considering turning off the fingerprint sensor altogether if it keeps up like this for much longer.

Looking for recommendations.
Just ordered a 6 Pro. Want to get a case and a backbone type controller device. I'm looking for 2 that play nice together. The last time I had a similar setup I had to take off the case to use the controller.
Thanks

Google currently has the Pixel's on offer. Pixel 6 Pro currently at £699 down from £849, really tempted but part of me is thinking to wait for the Pixel 7 now........
Gonna grab the patch if I can.
Also, does anyone have issues where when they hit the show all window button (I don't know the original name, but the square button) and it jumps to a window or 2 to the side instead of the one that was just open?
EDIT: Still not finding the patch. C'mon now...

Baffling it's been like that since day 1.
I just don't fucking get how there are STILL lingering issues with the software. Is the Tensor that much different that simple things aren't working properly?
Also, does anyone else have phone calls for like 30 minutes and then they go garbled and end? Or is that just me and something weird with Verizon. Almost 30 minutes on the dot.
Got the patch. So far everything is working well, although I haven't seen any new feature at all.
Done patching. I thought there was something about a vibrate icon. I only see it when shade pulled. Was that it?
And the stupid left bug is still here.
And the stupid left bug is still here.
I don't use gestures, I use navigation buttons. If I press the square, it tries to switch to the left application. Even if I have a single app open, it will try to switch to something to the left and hang for a second.
Ah, I see. I use gestures so don't see that.
Was asking because on my old android there was gesture to see a bunch of your open recent apps. Haven't managed to find an equivalent on the 6 pro. The same gesture just shows one app at a time with the option to slide up to close it.
That gesture shows all open apps on mine, you have to scroll left to see them all, if only one is shown it's either because you close apps or maybe you have set the phone to not keep apps in the background in the dev settings.
I mean, you don't see them all at the same time, but all are there and you can scroll through it in recent order.
Still no update for my phone... got it unlocked from Google and it's on Verizon, no push for this month yet...
Yeah, I can scroll through all the recent apps but it only shows one at a time, well you can see the very edge of the next one.
Surely there's a way to see more, like 6 or 9? Having to scroll through them all, you'd be better off just going to the app icon.
Ah I see.
That's Google's choice, some brands make their own task switcher like Samsung and some have more settings.
I don't know if another task switcher can be installed.
Mine has been working flawlessly since the update. 7.5 hrs of screen on time, 98%+ fingerprint accuracy and the auto brightness bug is gone.
Depends on what you mean by better phone. I've had it since launch and have loved it.
I hate mine lol
Too many little annoyances with this thing I'll be trading it in later this year.
my parents and brother all have the pixel 6 and hate it due to some network disconnect bug. they lose all signal and can sometimes use wifi calling in the interim but most of the time they gotta reboot their phones to fix it
I bought the 6 Pro when it came out. Now my work is offering to buy me a new phone and pay for service. Is the Pixel 6 (non pro) pretty decent? It's the best phone available through my work's Verizon network. I've enjoyed the Pro but will probably be selling it off.
It has near hardware parity with the 6 Pro besides the 120Hz display and the telephoto lens. My friend has one and let me play with it and I was genuinely surprised by how solid it is for the price, even compared to my 6 Pro.
To reply to the overall vibe of the recent conversation, I've had my 6 Pro since launch and have really enjoyed it. My history with Pixel devices has been suuuuuper bad so the 6 Pro being a good experience is refreshing, though I will likely end up skipping the 7 Pro and upgrading with the 8 Pro as Tensor matures and the 6 Pro continues to receive updates that fixes and improves stuff.
As someone who upgraded from a S9. I am happy with my 6pro but I see places it can be improved. I think if you are used to having tip top of the line there is nothing the 6 or 6pro does that's impressive but as a cost effective upgrade it's great. It's more of a good deal than a cutting edge experience. One of my coworkers has a 6 and it's like the same damn phone for 300 dollars less.
T-Mobile here. For some reason Tmo and Verizon were the last ones this time, ha!
I think if you're into photos that the optical zoom makes that price difference nearly worth it .
