    Post Question Hands on the physical watch vs in the watch app

    It shows 10:09 (and 37 seconds) on all the available watch faces for me. Including Utility and everyday. Explanation here https://petapixel.com/2013/06/27/why-photographs-of-watches-and-clocks-show-the-time-1010/

    Post Question Hands on the physical watch vs in the watch app

    I don't believe that view within the Watch app is supposed to be the correct time and date. It is just a representation of the watch face/setup you are using. Mine always says 10:09 on 24th May. It also says I have done 1,123 steps and sunset is at 18:32 You will notice that most watches...

    Post Question Colored "G" logo at boot

    I find this is the case when you boot following a Security update or Google Play system update. Normal boot ups the 'G' will be matched to whatever your material colours are set to (usually based on wallpaper). Following an update I usually observe the official Google colours 'G' (red, yellow...

    Post Question Horrible google in Europa. Graphene OS ?

    I don't understand why Google would restrict and actively not allow networks from allowing access to the features on their own device. More people would buy and use the device meaning more revenue and ad data. What is the benefit for Google to restrict? The whole reason for Google to be making...

    Post Question Horrible google in Europa. Graphene OS ?

    They were MVNO's not the main network. First was Sky Mobile (who use O2) Second was Lebara (who use Vodafone) Third is Smarty (who use Three) Sky and Lebara could have opened access for 5G/VoLTE/VoWiFi for Pixel phones but chose not to for whatever reason. The parent networks they run on...

    Post Question Horrible google in Europa. Graphene OS ?

    Is it country specific? I'm in the UK and I have been with 3 different providers/operators since I have had my Pixel 7 Pro. Here it seems more down to the telecom operator. The first - No 5G, no VoWiFi, No VoLTE The second - No 5G, no VoWiFi, No VoLTE Now on my 3rd provider where I get 5G...

    Post Question Google Security Play and lockscreen?

    I have the same, if I go to Security in settings it gives a warning to 'update this device' because it hasn't had a system update in 90 days. It shows Google Play system update: 1st July 2022 Yet when I check for update it says there is no further update. Coming from a Pixel 6 that was on...

    Post General Pixel 6 March update is out

    I havn't noticed haptics in new situations but there is now different haptics dependent on the notification. For example I feel a weaker and slower double vibration for a Facebook notification. For a WhatsApp or Facebook messenger I still get the original stronger double vibration. Anyone else...

    Post Question No vibration with Pixel 6 camera, only with Pro

    I also have the same. However I only noticed after reading your post. I'm not sure if this would be controlled by monthly Android updates or by an update to the Google camera app. So can't say for sure when it stopped working for me.

    Post Question Google enabled haptic feedback when using the fingerprint scanner with January update.

    Ah, so you are mean haptic feedback is still on even when Battery Saver mode is on? I can't comment on any change since Jan update as I don't use Battery Saver so I don't know what it was like before. If I turn off haptics entirely in settings I still get a single pulse when unlocking the...

    Post Question Pixel 6 50MP camera sensor : Storage requirements

    Same for me, I've moved from a Pixel 5 and at the moment there have been situations where the 5 have out performed the 6. However we must remember that (P5) sensor and lens setup has been fine tuned since Pixel 2. I'm hopeful Google will be able to refine the new sensor and processing to go...

    Post Question Cellular signal drops after December OTA update

    This issue is definately caused by the December update (or a part of it). I received the update and instantly noticed that I no longer had signal while indoors at my home. My wife also had a Pixel 6 (on the same network both using a physical SIM) and has remained on the November build. Her...

    Signal in my home has never been great, but now my phone spends the majority of the time with no signal (emergency calls only). This will be hitting the battery hard.

    Post Question Did anyone get the December update yet?

    Just noticed my build number is SQ1D.211205.016.A1 The 9to5google article suggests this is for ROW. I'm UK so looks like I've been pushed the wrong one 😞 Would that cause poor cell reception?

    Post Question December update, battery drain.

    Same here, noticed cell reception poorer than it was, likely the reason for battery drain constantly looking for better reception.

    Post Question How critical is it to just charge to 80%

    I'm showing 106% I always charge to full, using adapting charging over night. Charging slowly and keeping temperature down is more important than keeping it to 80% from my understanding.

    Post Question Actual battery capacity

    My estimate is based on 31 cycles. It becomes more accurate the more cycles you run it through. I think you would need to do at least 10 charges where you add at least 20% to get a decent accuracy.

    Post Question Why did you choose the 6 over the Pro?

    In the UK the price difference is £300, which is over $400. Crazy amount to justify the additional zoom and screen differences. I also prefer the black frame look to the metallic sides of the Pro.

    Post Question Anyone's Pixel 6 Seafoam not look like Seafoam?

    I find it has a slightly different hue in different light. Sometimes the main section on the back looks almost white. Other times it's exactly like the promo material, a soft minty green.

    Post Flickering dot under display in notification area

    Proximity sensor is not used for Flip to Shhh. That is a red herring. Flip to shhh uses the phones gyroscopes to sense the phone being screen down and still. If the proximity sensor is visible then another app is likely triggering it. Likely a bug with that app or its compatibility with this...

    Post Brand New Pixel 5, battery seems awful

    I'm seeing great battery life like many others. I started using AccuBattery Pro. How accurate is the estimated capacity given by the app? Anyone have any experience? For me the app is estimating battery capacity to be 4,490mAh which is obviously way above the advertised capacity.

    Post Pixel 4 vs Pixel 5 light sensor (Adaptive Brightness)

    Mine also does this, although I havn't noticed too much of a change only coming from a Pixel 2XL. Is it a limitation due to where the light sensor is placed?I'm assuming it's under the display (near the proximity sensor).

    I see no flickering when flip to shhh is enabled. Even when a call comes in, still no flickering visible. I only see the flickering when on a phone call (or WhatsApp call) . Proximity sensor is only required when on a call. Flip to shhh is controlled by phones gyroscopes. You can prove it's...
