I had a DBrand skin on my Samsung S9+ a few years ago and used the DBrand Grip case, it fitted really well, no issue at all.Speaking of which, would a DBrand-skinned phone still fit in the DBrand case?
Yep, a lot of times it makes me input my PINNo not that. Like when you leave your phone on a table and pick it up, sometimes the fingerprint icon isn't there and I tap to wake? And it does nothing at all.
I am such a fucking moron, how do I activate it? I feel like the place where I'd go to do it will instead leave a voice note and send that, which is not what I want.I have used it. In fact, I'm using it right now to reply to you.
I had to sign up for 100GB of Google One because immediately after I ported over all my shit from the 4 XL to the 6 pro, my Google account got filled up. And even then, Google says they upload all my photos in original quality, but there is no way the image below is original, right? It looks compressed as fuck

Okay I wonder if it's just me...
But unlocking via the lockscreen has been ALL OVER THE PLACE. Sometimes from dimmed screen it'll just light up and deny, sometimes not read my finger at ALL, it just seems super duper buggy.
Potentially stupid question, but if I'm watching 24fps content on my P6P, does the screen go down to 24hz?
when I push that button it says "No permission to enable: voice typing" :(
You need to go to the app permissions for Gboard & enable Microphone permissions, Might need to do the same for the Google Voice Typing app as well.when I push that button it says "No permission to enable: voice typing" :(
I was using it a bit this morning to respond to some people on discord and it is insane how blazing fast it is. Hopefully they get other languages going so I can use it for talking to my family in spanish.Yeah, I'm never typing again.
The voice typing is amazing, it only struggles with my weird Northern British slang lol
They added this with Android 11 for Pixel devices and it is the most infuriating thing on earth, my phone could be completely stationary & google somehow thinks it's not in a secure area and disables Fingerprint on it.
Has anyone else started using Google Assistant more than before on this phone? I'm also loving the text dictation feature.
One other issue I've also been noticing is that sometimes the lock screen will prompt for a pin instead of the fingerprint. Also, it's kind of annoying that you have to hit enter after entering the pin.

I have never used Smart lock on my Pixel 5 or 6 and I still have the occasional PIN Lock. It's just a weird security thing they added if the device hasn't been used in 30 minutes or so, not really sure what the trigger for it is as it is sporadic at best for me.Seemingly it is related to smart lock and it's timing "expiring" periodically, according to this thread?
I didn't use smart lock previously at home on my 3xl because turning it on with the backside fingerprint reader is so easy/natural, but with the new one I'd prefer to have smart lock on at home so i can tap it occasionally ESPECIALLY if the in screen lock is going to be slow. But in that case it disables fingerprint reading all together for pin, which is so frustrating. Maybe the sensitive touch option might help enough, and i'll just turn off smart lock....
It's my biggest complaint aside from the slipperyness lol. The other night i checked the time in the middle of the night, and after that the charge cable weighed it down enough to fall off my nightstand. Wife loved that.
I just ran into it again after turning off smart lock too. Shit sucks.I have never used Smart lock on my Pixel 5 or 6 and I still have the occasional PIN Lock.

oooo just checked my fabric case shipping, and it seems like it might arrive tomorrow. Woot, shipped from china like... a week ago? #notbad
Looks like it's coming from the IR blaster used to focus quickly, you can see it in the dark in front of a window/mirror.Anyone else got these smudges on nightsight in very/complete dark environments (taking a picture close to an object to make it dark like a pillow)? It's not the lens is dirty and it's always in that place for me, even after cleaning :(

When not close to something it should not be visible.
Phone? It's better than most dedicated voice command software for PC, even lol. I'm kinda blown away at how good it works in even German, which (at least for me) is notoriously bad at voice-recognizing literally anything, leave alone proper interpunctuation and capitalization and slang. It's great and I should use it way more often.It's so good, like it has the odd hiccup, like me saying buds but it put birds and boats lol, but other than that, yeah it's 10x better than any other phone I've used for voice typing
Looks like it's coming from this tiny IR blaster, if I put my finger on it there's no more pink hue/circle.Nope, it's always visible in darker areas in the viewfinder, always the same place for me. It's like dirty fingerprints, and I've seen some people with that problem already - everyone has a different "bubble" pattern :/
It's also on the pictures as a pink hue, no matter if close or far. Also, it's more visible the darker the objects are.
I ordered this:
There is no option to buy it seems. I guess it's because the case doesn't match the pictures?I ordered this:
but that was before the 1, 1-star review. So I'll put some impressions in here once it arrives and hopefully a couple pics.
It's weird - you have to click "See all buying options" and add it from the seller store.There is no option to buy it seems. I guess it's because the case doesn't match the pictures?

Seeing a slight bit of that too, mainly in dark areas in high-contrast situations. Could be very wrong, but my first theory is/was that googles HDR-Magic acts too aggressive and tries to pull color out of where there's no color to be seen in the moment. Maybe pulling down the shadows a bit before taking the shot could help in these situations. Or hopefully a software update. Or they fucked up bigly.Anyone else got these smudges on nightsight in very/complete dark environments (taking a picture close to an object to make it dark like a pillow)?

This is a weird take of the problem, it is pretty obvious that as all the processors not named snapdragon the problem is that the games are not optimized for them. With day 1ish drivers the GPU eats emulators for lunch and that is the best benchmark we have for that piece of hardware.The larger GPU doesn't really come in to play due to the lack of good heat dissipation

I did expect more power than an 888 but is not like their solution wasn't a nice trade since they are google and not a chinese company they android games will probably start optimizing specifically for what Tensor is packing.
Was not post against you but the concept of the article, like I said we can see right now that the sheer power of the GPU is enough to do what it is supposed to do when not dependent of the game developers and they act like in Android Snapdragon is not king because the developers say so, hell there are phones with an 888 and 12 gb of ram that are not whitelisted to use the best settings.It's absolutely not a weird take of the problem. Have you read the article? I just summarized the findings there.
I'm not trying to start a Tensor vs Snapdragon debate, but it's good to understand how the Tensor was actually designed and if those design decisions actually make sense. Google sacrificed die area, removing the A78 cores and internal modem from the original Exynos design, and went with less efficient A76 cores, likely to have a larger GPU. Instead of choosing the larger GPU at lower clocks to increase efficiency, they actually decided to run the GPU at higher clocks, but don't actually have the necessary cooling to keep those frequencies sustainable. Their overall design gives the impression that they sacrificed some efficiency for overall performance, but don't actually achieve the performance potential due to cooling design. The article goes into the fact that improving the cooling of the phone by using the screen itself as added heat dissipation would hurt the screen's overall repairability, which Google decided to go with screen repairability (IPhone does this as well).
The chip is still good overall. It seems from the article that their main gain from doing their custom design over going with the base Samsung semicustom design was replacing Samsung's NPU with their own Tensor NPU (and using their own custom imaging blocks).
I'm assuming something to do with patents? Either Qualcomm's, or Samsung's.Edit: My biggest question with the Pixel 6's design is why they didn't go with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that Samsung uses?

Like do the test when the optimizations start to roll but yeah they can say that maybe the cooling will come bite them in the ass and we'll see.

Take out the sim, reboot, and thentry to update with no sim?Anyone else not getting any updates with an unlocked model from Google Store using Verizon service? There's a couple reddit threads about this, but curious if anyone here managed to get an update on their device. I'm still not on the day 1 update.
