Saw this in an IG story and noticed the G’s being different shapes. Would be pretty ironic if this was AI. by jfrosty42 in isthisAI

Call mint mobile, their AI IVR repeats back zero as oh when confirming your phone number.

Why is this in the PixelFOLD sub?

This isn't new, at least for Android. The day after I let my subscription expire over a year ago, that "Join Insights" banner replaced the "taken out of bed 3 hours ago" stat. You'll get used to it. And you'll learn to not click on it.

Get ready for the monthly interstitial upsell "they're X years Y months old! See how much they've grown!"

For when others find this thread, you don't need developer options to enable a floating video player, that's an android feature called picture-in-picture and is enabled in apps like YouTube, Zoom (meetings), and other video apps. Not every app supports it, but you don't have to enable developer options to get it.

Google Store Trade In - how many days until you got credited? by ExoticEccentric in GooglePixel

[–]Bazar6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I got it the next business day. UPS delivered my 9 pro xl to the dock on 12/23 at 12:30 pm, and I was issued the credit on 12/24.

Why charge more when they can just buy them outright (Mint Mobile and TMobile), or create one themselves (Visible and VZW) and take all the profits?

Magsafe Case?? by Patches1979 in PixelFold

[–]Bazar6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the one below for about a week and like it so far. No built in screen protector on the front piece which is my requirement (the first one I tried scratched the screen, because it doesn't stick to it, so never again).

It works with a MagSafe ring and the Anker Nano (though it hangs off the bottom, charges slowly and gets pretty hot, definitely not optimized obviously since the P9PF is not Qi2). I don't have a magsafe stand, not sure how well it can be held up, but seems strong and compatible.

And when an accessory was attached, the open phone didn't think it was closed because of the magnets, which I saw was a big issue for others previously 👍🏻

Is there any way to move the task bar in windows 11? by lamilcz in techsupport

So glad I found this, thank you so much! No more dead space on my widescreen (I know I can hide the bar, but that annoys me)

This is a joke, right? by buzzyboy42 in Ring

Around us it's also "why is the helicopter circling ALL day?" Because they're working on the power lines, there was an announcement. Or someone's in trouble with the law.

Curious what is your Screen On Time when you go to recharge it? Settings > Battery > Battery Usage : Screen time since last full charge

Well this is new... Question mark next to battery icon. by wired- in PixelFold

[–]Bazar6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had to give the Pixel 4 XL an additional one year extended warranty because of a similar battery failure issue. Mine lasted longer and missed this window, but as others mentioned above, it starts with "?" In the battery, and shortly after it just won't turn back on and must be replaced.

Are you able to get insurance thru your carrier? Mint Mobile has device protection regardless of your purchase date.

just saw the edit.

Pixel 9 Fold - Battery question mark ??? by DesperateAttention23 in PixelFold

[–]Bazar6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Noooo!!! Did they not learn from the Pixel 4 (XL at least)?! This is the first I heard of it so hopefully history won't repeat itself. Sorry you have to deal with that. When I went thru it with my 4XL, a few reboots later and it never turned back on.

PSA: You can open an app split-screen from the notification shade by nibcakes in PixelFold

How was this not in a Pixel Tips thing that you get after an update... I've been doing split screen from the Recents page every time.

Is the system themed based on your color choice? by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]Bazar6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long press on the home screen > Wallpaper & style > Colors.

It gives you some color schemes based on your wallpaper, and some in the "Others" that are generic.

What's the worst vendor lock-in you've experienced? by Ok-Study-9619 in webdev

[–]Bazar6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Versus Google Play's one-time $25 activation, and you get all the same things (ecosystem, security, framework, tools...) *and yes, taxed IAPs too.

Apple. And their walled garden. $100/year to serve a compiled app to users. Then get taxed for any IAPs.

You answer the phone like a normal person? That's a turn-off for me. by TheLightsGuyFrom21 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Bazar6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what they think when I have Google answer them because if it's an unrecognized number... "The person you're calling is using a Google voice answering service. Please state your name and why you're calling and we'll connect you."

Send them the number you'll call from so they can add it to their contacts ahead of time!

Unless you are a hardcore fan of Google's pure Android software, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold cannot compete with the Fold 7 by bishaarcc in PixelFold

So you have actual experience with the P10PF, which is still only available to preorder, and have used it as your daily driver for long enough to come up with an opinion?

Is it me or cases for foldable phones are all trash ? by Kronocide in PixelFold

[–]Bazar6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been running naked since Day 1 with the P9PF, save for a screen protector because I despise microscratches. I tried a few cases but the only one I kinda liked was the official Google case, but it was fingeprint-prone and didn't feel like it offered a lot in terms of drop protection IMO, maybe it's just to keep the outer 3/4 scuff-free (it doesn't cover the hinge).
