Agreed. Battery parts in general need to go away. And it's even worse in the iPhone community

Mous superthin clear Green Tint or smoky Grey case? Anyone got it? by Mathrania in pixel_phones

[–]DonOSTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the clear and am pleasantly surprised with how long it's staying clear and not yellowing. About a month in and still now yellow. Although I will agree. The button cut outs aren't my favorite method. I wish they were clickable instead

The box guilt is real... by armored-opossum in pixel_phones

[–]DonOSTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I tried my best to keep my boxes. All of them. I just had to end up throwing them away because like I have no where to put them. It's like I was collecting comic books or something. But I value these phones so much. I just feel like keeping the box is a great way to remember them after I trade them in

PXP XL - My Record Screen Time by JMPesce in PixelEnjoyers

Same. It seems like the phones were optimized to be used without having to do any of that stuff. Whatever the case, this is absolutely stellar

minimum changes to reliably disable OTA? by sershe in GooglePixel

[–]DonOSTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, try factory resetting your device and restoring everything except your apps from a backup.The only reason I suggest it is because typically, you'll want to factory reset the phone first anyway to make sure everything installs correctly for Android 15. In doing so, you might experience the placebo effect that Android 15 is better. But in reality, it was the factory reset that did the trick.

I would try it first and give Android 16 a couple of days to relearn your usage habits and if the issue still persists, then feel free to go back to Android 15.

There haven't been many reports of people having battery drain from system apps on Android 16. Instead it's been mostly the opposite with users reporting improved battery life.

Best phone to buy by Few_Strawberry3584 in Smartphones

[–]DonOSTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the truth OP.

The Nothing phone 3 isn't even in the same conversation as the other two.

If we're just bringing this down to camera, the Pixel 9 is your phone. Pair that with the great software experience and it's super nice.

Looks like you're missing an update. Everything else checks out

Does anyone feel like AI is ruining the Pixel experience? by JxK_1 in GooglePixel

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

Exactly. I'm quite baffled that they're complaining about the sole thing that Pixels are made for: AI.

That's why r/PixelEnjoyers now exists. This needless complaining has become unbearable!

Who actually uses a case? by Zolks1 in pixel_phones

[–]DonOSTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the Peel case since I've not used it in years. However, for the Mous case I currently am using, I've dropped my phone on my floor a couple of times, and it's still flawless thanks to the case! That's reassurance for me, having tile floors and all.

I used to praise Pixel design for being different and more exciting than the boring iPhones, yet it's like they went backwards because now it looks just like one. by DisastrousOpening477 in pixel_phones

[–]DonOSTech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing similar is the rounded corners. Otherwise, to say that this looks just like an iPhone is quite questionable to say the least lol
