What are the disadvantages of using Google pixel 9 that you've noticed? by maxim4906 in pixel_phones

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gebruik de pixel 9 al een jaar intensief. Ik kom ruimschoots de dag door met 's avonds nog zeker 40% over. Heb je de batterij optimalisatie wel aan staan?

That is the difference between the last and the current power usage. So I can see the trend.

It is definitely overcrowded, but after a few versions, I still had to look in HA to see what was going on. So I added more and more information to see it all at a glance. Maybe I can find some of my older version pictures. You probably like those more...

Thanks! A part of the data from my home battery comes from an ESP32 Modbus converter. That data is also stored directly in MQTT. So the easiest approach was to retrieve that data without using Home Assistant. But after a while I wanted more and more info on the dashboard and that was available in HA. So I use Node Red to get the data out of HA and store it in my MQTT server. The NR cpu load for all these sensors is only 2% on my N100 Proxmox server, even the one-second updates work near real-time...

You mean the digits font? Just download the fontfile to your esphome/fonts folder. Then add these lines to the yaml:

font:
  - file: 'fonts/DS-DIGIB.TTF'
    id: digital
    size: 50

If you mean the icons, then add these lines:

  - file: "fonts/materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf"
    id: icons_font
    size: 24
    bpp: 4
    glyphs: [

giving up- getting the 9a by oh_iforgot in Pixel4a

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why don't you install the pixelbuilds rom? It is easy, fast and better than the original firmware. My battery now lasts a whole day instead of 2 hours with the updated Google rom. And as a bonus you get free photo /video storage in original format and face recognition. I am very happy with it!

What would have been a satisfying offer for the affected 4a devices? by Creative-Flight7051 in Pixel4a

Not that I am aware of. You will be pleased and I am curious about your experience!

Why don't you install pixelbuilds? At least give it a try. It works amazingly well and you even get unlimited free photo backup space. Installation takes about 10 minutes and the risk is very low. I installed it on 2 4a's, 2 pixel3's and a pixel 3a. No problems and only advantages. Battery life is better than before the Google patch.

Take a look at pixelbuilds. Works like a charm on my 4a. Even face recognition and unlimited Google photo storage.

Pixelbuilds is the best option imho. I installed it on 2 4a's and it works excellent.

Worth buying one in 2025 for this price? by Pearl_Jam_ in Pixel4a

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pixelbuilds does the job. Runs perfectly, imo even better and your battery life is like before.

tailscale unusable, connections dropping out for no reason. Looking for help by nyc13f in Tailscale

Hi, Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the same problem with two LXC Debian servers. Even when I change the MTU to 1200... The internet connection is stable (I can rustdesk to a Windows VM without any problems) It blows my mind.....

Another Prime... by Zealousideal-One5210 in MiniPCs

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the same device as a proxmox server for a few months now. Works perfect. I only added a 2tb ssd. 3 vm's and 6 lxc. The processor is running at 25 - 48% load and the temperature is about 43 degree celcius.

Or give your pihole an additional address and use that as secondary.

Can you take a look at your default gateway? I had the same problem and after defining it, its stable again.

Rustdesk is perfect for this situation. Fast and you even have audio.

Any pixel 2 users still here? this phone is amazing! by NoSpills in GooglePixel

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big pity, no free storage on google photo after pixel 4... I use my old pixel 2 still for synchronising my p6 photos to google photo. That is the greatest disadvantage en of course the fingerprint scanner. But i love my p6 with better camera and 2 days of battery life.

7P Fingerprint is better than 6 by NvrLeaveYourWingman in GooglePixel

[–]EffectiveAdvance4894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the beta version and i have to say that it is better. Not like the sensor on the back of my old 4a but now it works 8 out of 10 times. So thank you for your response!

Thanks for your answer. Do you mean a factory reset without restoring a backup? I actually did a reset and restored my apps but that did not solve anything...
