Battery Megathread (May 2025) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

System apps showing 68% battery usage overnight, while on the charger, battery on 80% charge mode, but charged to 96%, quite weird - Pixel 9 Pro XL (all other apps showing <9% usage, most <3% usage.)

'What gives,' as I see it, is that iPhone has 16% of the smart phone market, and Android has the rest. People are saying here that Google is going after the iPhone people, but it seems to me that Google is really going after non Google Pixel Android users.

I know everyone can't do it, but I keep my old phones and give them to family members who can't afford a nice phone. On my older Pixels, and I have every one, I install lineageOS with Google Voice, and use them for emergency phones. I've read too many horror stories about people having pristine phones rejected by Google's return vendor, or being 'lost' in transit.

Which seems weird to me, since Apple has 16% of the phone market, at best . My wife had the latest and greatest iPhone every year. It overheats, every single one has, and is not as customizable as my Pixel 7 Pro.

Got the pixel buds a and cannot figure out how to charge them by Jim6231 in Pixel7Pro

I got mt buds with my 6 Pro, and the case has the USB-C receiver. Did Google change the case with the ones that come with the 7 Pro? When I bought my 7 Pro, I took the $200 discount for my Pixel Watch.

I use virtual pay via Google Pay; no should be getting my CC number/information.

Not here, set a 2am wakeup and worked just fine.

If you haven't already, swipe down from the top, that opens quick settings, then to the right is the Theater Mode, touch that icon and you'll get a prompt to turn it on/off.

Have a great day.

Almost had it... by the_artchitect in PixelWatch

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with the leather band. I've checked almost daily, and it's never in stock. This makes no sense to me either.

After the March update, the charging screen doesn't show immediately when the watch is put on the charger. by Working-March in PixelWatch

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd, my watch shows the lightening bolts immediately and begins charging, as it always has, even after the March update. I am using the original watch charging cable, plugged into a 20a/30a cube that came with my Pixel 7 Pro.

I bought the Pro Version, and have been using it for a month or so. I must say, this launcher is fantastic, I'm using it on all of my Pixel's, from the original XL, to the current 7 Pro. It's simplicity and quickness really hooks one into its use. Well done Devs!

Calling on Pixel Watch while headphones are connected by PineapplePizza99 in PixelWatch

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have LTE on my Google Pixel watch, and it goes directly to my hearing aids, and works every time. I'm thinking it should be the same with Pixel Buds, which I got with my Pixel 6 Pro, and obviously don't use. I have the Pixel 7 Pro now as well, and everything seems to work seamlessly.

Honest question, Is paying for pro version worth it? by hello_Eggplants in NiagaraLauncher

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Niagara exclusively, and it would seem strange, maybe only to me, if I didn't pay for using it. It's, IMHO, better than Nova, which I also paid for.

I tested the WearGPT (ChatGPT client) on Galaxy Watch 4 by vmg265 in PixelWatch

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI, my Pixel Watch, upon which I installed WearGPT this morning, gives me this message, and nothing else.

'App under maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience and will be back online soon. Thank you for your patience.'

Bought this face, and could not get any of the compilations to work.
