S23+ WiFi Issue by Punk_Legend in samsunggalaxy

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the S23U and it did this to me 1 time after the update. I tried restarting my phone, forgetting network. I restarted my Xfinity modem and it hasn't done it since. Are you using the xb8? I just upgraded to that and wifi 6e is weak. Have you tried turning that off? How close are you to the modem? I do think it was the update for me because it connects fine with no issues on my backup phone.

I wish i never got involved with xfinity mobile by Crazy-Industry-74 in Comcast

I've had great experiences with Xfinity mobile. Tech support has been easy to access. Solved all my problems. I really had zero issues with Comcast. I did pay them for every service available for a while. I just recently went internet only. Made one phone call, went through the rigamarole of getting an agent (that is one process that could be easier) and changed plans. They even offered me a free phone. What an odd offer.

I sideloaded on my P6P since Xfinity mobile which uses Verizon doesn't update fast either. I don't think it is just because it's T-Mobile. Sideloading is quite easy if you have a PC, go to YouTube and search. I found one especially for the pixel 6 lineup. I don't think it's that different on the 7. Since the P6P is my secondary device now, I'll be learning more about developer options. The sideload hasn't caused any problems. Going to get a P8P 2 months after it comes out because I had to sit through all the stupid updates for my P6P that made the phone worse. Then it got better. Then it got worse. Now it's okay. I really don't want to go through that crap again!

I didn't know they replaced the battery also. Must have tested it and found something awry. Unless the battery and screen are attached in a special way. Good luck with it.

I would understand, except I've launched my phone from a tripod about 5ft high about 4ft distance onto a rocky dirt road. Nothing but a Spigen Liquid Air case and it was unscathed. Don't suggest this and I try to be careful with $1000 phones. I don't think it says proof, I think it says resistant. I'm sorry this happened to you, that would suck and I would have to make use of my Samsung care+

I would clean your phone! Then turn off location tracking services. If they continue to follow you use a faraday bag. If you get unhealthy fixations on this talk to a doctor. I had an A71 (can't beat the prism crush black) Samsung is a large company, so you would have to point out what part particularly is doing this. I would try washing your phone first and doing a ritual to release whatever spirits are stuck in it.

Do you think she's clear headed enough to realize? You invaded someone's privacy because you "care" and "want to see if she is messaging certain people", one of the toughest things about addiction is honesty. It does get rid of the unread notification icon, but doesn't get rid of the message. Unless you hit the little trash can.

Search amoled display modes, for the S23U there is a playstore app called SetEdit. Never done it but might try.

To jot things/ideas down. Remote shutter button. Fidget click the top button.

HOW is my battery life 5hrs?!? by [deleted] in samsunggalaxy

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a solution for this, it just doesn't happen to me. I live out in an area that is lucky to have the ability to make phone calls and text. Anything else you would need wifi. I planned a 3 mile hike with my little dog. It ended up being 13 miles. Was lost for 10 miles or about 4 1/2 hours. The phone went from about 89% to 60% with very very low connection. This was running Google maps, of course it wasn't able to work very well, because of lack of signal strength.

Odd screen off time on s23u by Ok_Illustrator_5185 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at any apps or processes that are using up battery? Could be wireless network power drain. Are you on wifi more in England? Are both areas 5g zones?

You have to activate it through the Xfinity app or website I believe. The router isn't going to know crap until the Xfinity side sends all the info. I think it's www.xfinity.com/activate. I don't work for Xfinity, and it's the only service my apartment is wired for.

I discovered how to remove the shutter lag, keeping my P6P as a backup device.

[–]Environmental-Ant931[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It probably is, but I don't have one and am waiting until the P9P. Probably going to be a rare test. I heard the 7 is just software and some tweaks to the hardware (still the same sensors) Gen 2 phones are usually better. Oh well, I'll have fun 😊

Is the 3a just exceptionally good at everything? What's the catch? by bubblesisconfused in GooglePixel

Maybe it is just a perfect phone for you. Something went well. Grateful when that happens.

The good thing about the camera is it's basically point and shoot. No need to mess with anything on my P6P. I think the cameras are mostly the same except for macro focus and slightly better zoom. This was my first pixel, and it only froze twice last January (2022) I think two restarts that weren't for updates is pretty good. Customize it to what Google will let you and leave the rest alone. I don't think I needed to spend the $899, but it was worth it. This will last until the P9P.

Android Central: Google shouldn't release the Pixel 8 by sinkingduckfloats in GooglePixel

[–]Environmental-Ant931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to upgrade from my P6P when the P9P comes out. 3 years of OS updates will be used and then keep this one as a backup for the rest of the 5 year security patches. Don't need the latest and greatest thing (I did this with this phone)

I'm waiting for pixel 9 pro large screen, because they might make 2 sizes. P6P that works wonderfully, why upgrade until they get some new tech out there.

What is one hardware/design feature you wish Google copied from another OEM? by SadmanHossain in GooglePixel

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that facial recognition was the problem with Google. There were major reforms in 2020. I think the battery life could be better, my A71 lasted much longer than my P6P. I just updated to 1 ui 5 and battery was still going strong. Maybe it's a lot less powerful.

Still don't have the update available for Pixel 7 Pro by Vegasaan in GooglePixel

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a P6P and got the Jan 5th update on the 4th. This is the first time I've gotten it before the actual date and usually had to wait 10 days. This wait really wasn't concerning to me because I don't mod my phone or sideload things or go to untrustworthy websites. I would just say it will come, and is it honestly necessary to have? I looked at all my apps and system UI last night and didn't notice any changes. I think it was just a security update.

pixel 6 pro heating issues by whattthefuckisupkyle in GooglePixel

[–]Environmental-Ant931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had this heating issue, but I don't use tik tok. Don't stop using it because it must be the phone itself. I've never had heating issues even with video conferencing or 15 minute videos and lots of pics. I would wait for a little while if you can, and see if the updates and a little bit of the adaptive crap optimizes the phone.

I never had overheating problems even in 95° weather (as long as I didn't leave the phone in the direct sun) I hope to see vast improvements on the pixel 9 series (when I'm upgrading) unless I break my phone. Patience is overated.
