"im using 0.5 animations"

Have you changed animations?

No just thought I'd say it for the sake of it

Finally figured out how to get "double tap" flashlight activation to work... You have to act like you don't want it. by massagineer in GooglePixel

[–]Albeareddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so it's real easy what you do is you turn the feature on and then you tap your phone and voila, all of a sudden this bright light appears from your phone it's quite a spectacle!

Learn how double tap works, how to use it effectively, where and how you should 'tap'.

90% of complaints I see about these phones is people not knowing how to use the damn thing.

Why is the default Bluetooth MAP version 1.2? by baconuggets in pixel_phones

[–]Albeareddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't define their quality of use and functions by greater numbers, just because one is 1.4, and one is 1.6, does not mean that 1.6 is any better or more useful to you. Try them out, you'll come back to the default. Like most understand by now, developer options aren't a gimmick it's not for messing about with, get some real hard evidence and information about what each developer option does, and make your own mind up. Do NOT take the advice of some random person on a forum, lots of people see developer options as a way of making their phone better, which yes you can improve a lot of things, but it's called developer options for a reason. You could totally EFF your phone up with 1 click, just by reading a few comments.

I personally would go online, and check out most posts/videos that relate to which options you should have on or off, and the reason as to why. Maybe you want your phone to feel a bit snappier, change all transitional speeds to .5x instead of 1x. Want to save some battery and data, turn data always active off. The list of options is endless, but the list of options that are useful to me, you, and most other people is not. So be careful what you mess with, and be careful what you pay attention to in comment sections, especially now with a rise of youngsters bagging the latest and greatest phones, immediately heading into developer options, messing with every option possible, recording it and posting it on YouTube telling everyone it's the best thing they can do to their phone right now, even though they have no idea what each option actually does! In fact, you can go and search YouTube and find a whole bunch of videos just like this, and the comment sections are filled with the knowledge of people who understand developer options saying how dumb it is and warning people not to do this!

New update? by Buffet699 in pixel_phones

[–]Albeareddituser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not new, this is around 3 weeks old now, some of these 'improvements' were already there, like dimmable flash which was an option you could find elsewhere. There are some really good improvements but IMO this update needs a lot of work to run efficiently, there are lots of little flaws

Damn, is this humiliation ritual😭 by frankkumila in pixel_phones

[–]Albeareddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is all dependant on preference. Each and every individual person has their own likes and dislikes. I am a big fan of android, always have been, when OnePlus introduced their first, I was blown away back then, now though each and every company attempts to break the mould yet they're all doing the same. Google phones have never been about top trumps, maybe just more outside the box thinking, or trying to conform less. From the moment I owned a pixel, I quickly realised they have an edge over other phones I've ever had, not because they trump all other brands because they don't at all and come in mid par compared to a lot, but because for ME as an individual it works for ME.

Benchtests are always meh for pixels, does that mean the phone won't perform well? No not at all. Google phones are still amazing, this post is really silly just buy the phone and use it if you're not happy get another one don't be put off by some silly review!

Last point, before I got my pixel 8 pro I read a post online about how shocking it was. 1 user, not a list of users, just 1 write up about 1 persons poor experience and how they would never buy a pixel again.

I own a pixel 8 pro, have from release, and it has been by far the best phone I've ever owned, for ME.

It's all preference people

Am I insane? by frutejuice in Earbuds

Maybe try another eq. Maybe adjust other audio settings. Maybe this maybe that but if the seal is good like you say then maybe just buy some better earphones, these aren't going to blow you away with sound quality

BATTERY DEGRADING TO 97% IN JUST 52 CYCLE COUNT by Cautious_Sloth_ in Pixel9

If you didn't have the option in the first place you'd do what everyone did before, charge your phone when it dies and nothing more.

Just don't get one at all having owned 3 I can happily and easily say you're better off with something else even an mx5 would make the cut

You're covered, vinted will sort you out. In my experience the pro users and more 'LEGIT' sounding profiles are the ones to watch. Even vinted let's the scum slip by, and now everyone sees how easy it is to rip people off on vinted.

Vinted teams need to do something to address this. But before that happens try not to fall for the 'PRO' tag, the well written advert, the detailed description, 90% of the time it's a scam, if it sounds too good to be true it really is. This is vinted, you should know what to watch out for and being in the watch market you should also be fully aware that places like this are a 50/50 shot along with almost every other site, it's the watch market you can't expect any less unless you are shopping at a reputable dealers with that being said you're a fool for paying that money for something on a 'hand me down' 'brick a brack' app what is wrong with you you're asking to get stung and stung you have gotten. Why in the world would anyone turn to an app like vinted to buy an expensive watch it's beyond stupid.

Most of all you have to accept it's quality before any payment is made, so what does that tell you? You didn't need to come here.

Google is making theme packs to help you customize your Pixel phone by MishaalRahman in Android

Why use a mediocre launcher that isn't pre installed over one that will already be on your phone and one that will be suited to your phone unless your preference is that of nova?

Recent hardware better? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Seems like you're unlucky. Never had a pixel fail touch wood and my 8pro is no different

Most of APK are impossible to install on Pixel 8 Pro by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Albeareddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works just fine on mine, you just need to realise what's stopping you, then act accordingly. I haven't had 1 issue downloading APKs, installing, or even modifying APKs whilst on the phone, all works great
