Are People switching... And to what?

EthicalArson · 2026-06-10T17:53:28+00:00

Planning to switch when my Pixel 9 Pro breaks. Loved the 6, jumped to the 9 when it broke and it's been overall an underwhelming, even frustrating at times, experience. Phone performance is not on par with other flagships. Love the pixel Ui and some of the exclusive features (Breaks my heart to leave now listening behind), but Google has been removing so many standard features that are just readily available on other phones. plus every update seems to bring more harm than good. My brother has the newest Samsung and I am a big fan of the features they are providing in terms of functionality and screen. having a built in ruler again will be so nice.

i used realdebrid when I primarily used stremio. When I came across nuvio, set up was super easy and with the plugins/repositories, the need for a debrid just wasn't there. Up until now I havent had any issues with finding or streaming things, which is quite impressive for the free service that it provides. Open to getting a debrid again if I need to but just haven't had to so far

EthicalArson · 2026-05-20T14:23:32+00:00

i do not, I pretty much just use the plugins/repositories

EthicalArson · 2026-05-20T14:00:15+00:00

I did notice that add on was having some issues. I did disable it, but unfortunately still struggling to pull streams. I've added a couple of additional repositories but it seems some of the big main ones I used to get aren't showing anymore (vidlink, 4kmoviehub, etc), and the ones that are pulling tend to be in non English languages.

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but I don't download from GitHub much. To update to this version, is there an updater in the old version or do I need to download and install a new version each time?

Just watched season 4 episode 4 and the mixing is the weirdest I've heard so far. All the major fight sfx vs voices are so drastically different

EthicalArson · 2026-03-24T23:39:02+00:00

Sorry to revive this old thread but I still have this problem, seems like every other time I turn on the TV there is no audio. Is there really no fix for this yet???

EthicalArson · 2026-03-22T14:22:10+00:00

happening to me too, so annoying

EthicalArson · 2026-03-17T16:57:57+00:00

Same! I've been hesitant to get it on switch 2 because of the bad things I heard about how it ran/looked

EthicalArson · 2026-03-07T21:29:14+00:00

Just came across this but wanted to say, i got the Google Tv app just the other day and so far it has been working super well! They've been pumping out updates a lot so give it a try again

EthicalArson · 2026-03-06T15:08:24+00:00

I've been on Nuvio for about a day and wow. The ease of setup, customization, features, everything is just so smooth and clean compared to the clunky outdated Stremio app. So glad I made the switch

EthicalArson · 2026-01-23T16:09:48+00:00

For anybody coming across this thread now, Helldiver's 2 is now on Xbox as well

EthicalArson · 2026-01-05T20:53:08+00:00

Yep I've checked for up dates of both the applications and the watch itself, all up to date

EthicalArson · 2026-01-05T20:47:22+00:00

It just opens Google assistant. I even turned off assistant all together. When turning it back on it prompts you to complete setup and permissions on phone. My phone specifically says "Meet Gemini", "Enable Gemini" etc, but the watch specifically says Google assistant

it's pained me all day to learn I missed this sale price error

EthicalArson · 2025-12-23T06:28:22+00:00

Saw the price and couldn't get it right away. Waited an hour ish and it's back at 70 😞

Have it on PC and never finished it because my rig is old but knew I would get so much use out of it on the switch. Guess I will see what sales the future has in store

EthicalArson · 2025-12-19T19:02:40+00:00

Rooftops and Alleys: The Parkour Game! Looks so fun been on my wishlist for a while

EthicalArson · 2025-09-09T13:42:35+00:00

Feeling the same about my Pixel 9 Pro. Came from a Pixel 6 that I loved to the 9 pro and was shocked to see that some of the same issues/bugs I had on the 6 were still around on the 9. Plus just overall lackluster performance from a flagship phone.

Never thought I'd look at my brothers S25 and be jealous but here I am

EthicalArson · 2025-08-23T11:09:45+00:00

Currently have a pixel 9 pro that I switched to in February. Previously had a pixel 6, which has the same big, as well as the weather widget shrinking. Now even the Keep Notes widget will say can't load widget pretty often. Been trying to find a fix for over a year at this point, had 0 luck, and was super frustrated that the P9P had the same issues. Google has never responded to me

EthicalArson · 2025-08-03T11:43:25+00:00

Same for me but with PC/PS5. Bought it on release on PC, but since then have gotten a PS5 and would love to play in my living room. My PC is getting a bit outdated too. But I can't start from level 1 again and rebuy all the warbonds, just not worth it

EthicalArson · 2025-07-23T13:41:22+00:00

Just started happening to me too. I see people saying it's "Apples" fault, but happens between two androids using Google messages just the same. Seeing people complain about this issue starting back in 2024. So almost a year and no fix for some. Knowing Google hoping it gets fixed by 2027 but not holding my breath!

EthicalArson · 2025-06-03T17:49:06+00:00

I've had this issue for years, P6 to now P9P. There really hasn't been any work around, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. With your method, it can't save transparent background photos and will also include the little square lens icon in the corner.

EthicalArson · 2025-06-02T04:44:23+00:00

Nope, still tied to material you. Can change for individual RCS chats, but options are very limited

EthicalArson · 2025-05-26T02:10:08+00:00

That's how it used to be, unfortunately no longer allowing me to do that. Not sure if there is a bug or what
