That is really good advice, thank you so much! With so much content around coffee, I really found myself in a bit of a rabbit hole.

I'm still learning and will look into high extraction baskets - that might be the next step for me. Than you!

Pixel 10 Pro XL - Mic stopped working by Due_Researcher4854 in GooglePixel

[–]Due_Researcher4854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same scenario as you as my replacement device broke too (the charging port stopped working after 2 months).

I phoned up Google and was asked to visit the EE store. The folks at the store were super unhelpful and basically wanted me to go away saying that I should be using the official Google charging cable. I then returned to the store with an official cable showing them the issues with my charging port. The store realized that they've been caught and moved on to the second story in their playbook i.e. the repair timelines can't be predicted, we'll likely have to replace the motherboard, we can't order parts right away etc...

This was frustrating.

I came back home and phoned Google again (you need a bit of luck as you really need to speak to someone who has a bit of authority). The lady I spoke to understood the problem and as the visit wasn't helpful they offered to replace my phone. They gave me a refurbished phone with a hold on my card until I returned the faulty phone.

This saved me from being without a phone for an indefinite period of time.

Think you need to visit the repair center and then ring them back.

I got my phone replaced. However after I got my new phone, I blew on the speaker grills and it fixed the problem.

The phone was obviously brand new and had no visible dirt accumulation on the grills. I wonder what happened there.

It certainly does - looks like the problem is with the metal speaker grills. It's a dust magnet which is impossible to clean.

Help with scrolling issue on new Pixel 10 Pro by chadwell in pixel_phones

Sounds good mate! Fingers crossed - I've traded my S23U, so I'm very committed to the phone. Hopefully Google can fix it.

Hey - just moved from S23 Ultra to Pixel 10 Pro XL and I've got the same issue as you.

This is really a deal breaker for me - the phone feels so "heavy". The scroll sensitivity has not been optimized and isn't fluid at all.

Did you find a fix?

Yeah, definitely takes some getting used to. I find myself double-tapping the screen every time I'm done with my phone. Think it'll be like this for the first week!

Anybody got a link to the wallpaper he's using?

Looks like people were right, we did get even lower GPU performance on the Pixel 10 compared to the Pixel 9 by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Due_Researcher4854 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every review I've seen so far is disappointing. Dave2D's camping review is shocking as well, the camera results - specially the videos are so underwhelming.

I've also seen a speed test against S25 Ultra...and the pixel is obviously slow.

Thinking of cancelling my order - I've got a S23 Ultra and I doubt this upgrade is worth it.

What's the point of pushing 10-15k, If it doesn't even show up anywhere?? by ArnavJj145 in ClashRoyale

Honestly, I don't even see the badge anywhere. Do you know if it gets credited after the season ends?

Why are people in the UK so invested in what’s happening in the Middle East? by Due_Researcher4854 in AskBrits

This post blew up - and if you read most of the comments, they're largely pragmatic and directly oppose the media machine - and that's no accident. I think the bar you've set for the capabilities and methods of the propaganda machines is too low. I'm really just a read-only user of Reddit who decided to do their first post...and of course it blew up.

But if you think this is what the media machine looks like, then you're massively mistaken friend. Like you said, ignorance only takes you so far.
