The Pixel 4a just got an Android 13 update despite being scheduled to be EOL in August 2023 👀

Unfortunately I purchased this device on impulse with a carrier deal over the summer. The idea that my phone could be a tablet as well being essentially an all in wonder device was incredibly appealing....

I rarely use this feature so I didn’t realize it earlier but (presumably) since the Android 14 update I can’t use Assistant Voice Typing on my 7 Pro anymore. Only the “regular” voice typing on Gboard works but it’s much worse than the Assistant Voice Typing....

Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last...

Hello pixel users....

The update should roll out to the following Pixel devices:...

I have a Pixel 8 Pro and when I download something I can’t see the download speed in the notification bar (Download Manager) only the %....

tl;dr from the article:...

The associated issue tracker (issuetracker.google.com/issues/305234026#comment2… ) has now the tag “fixed”, and citing a Google employee there:...

Don’t really know how to explain what’s going on so I took a video. When I’m in a Google app, and I click on my profile picture in the top left to switch between Google accounts, I see this recommended actions notification basically flashing. I’m not hitting any buttons or touching the screen. It makes it really...

This happened to me. My phone was acting strange so I restarted it. After unlocking, it said ‘Phone is Starting’ for longer than usual. Then it said ‘Factory Resetting’, and shut down....

tl;dr from the article:...

GrapheneOS is such a staple for me now. Been waiting for it to be released for the Pixel 8 since I got the phone at launch… it doesn’t have the annoying search bar or the unmovable widget telling you the weather… Regardless of the security and privacy it offers… And its just pretty.

I’ve had my pixel 8 for about a week and couldn’t figure out why the full content of notifications wasn’t showing on my lock screen, even though I had “show all notification content” and “show sensitive content when locked” both activated....

Is this the right community for this?...

Sure, this is very light usage - just 5 hours SoT over more than 2 days of usage - but I couldn’t get this phone to even make it to two days with similar usage on Android 13. And it’s comparable to my previous budget phone, so the only thing the 7a was worse at is now fixed for me.

We finally have a teardown video by iFixit!

For the 8 it should have a strap on the back like the 4a 5g’s case, don’t care about it for 8 pro I’m fine with say, white lines on the case if it’s magsafe, but no extravagant patterns
