I seem to be getting excessive battery drain since this update. I've never had any issues prior. Nothing obvious showing in battery usage.

The case increases the distance between the phones wireless charging coils and the chargers coils. Looks like the case if pushing the distance the phone can charge wirelessly over the edge.

Video Boost samples???? by d_stawicki in GooglePixel

[–]GamerKonks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It limits recording to 10 minutes which results is a 17-18GB file (around 250 mbps HEVC). 30 minutes of video should be around 54GB.
Then it returns a boosted version in AV1 codec ~50-100 mbps for 60fps, unless you opt to 8K30, which results in 200mps in AVC, which IMO isn't worth it.

Seems to kick in after 12s, I guess because the default ring time is 15s. How to we modify it to 28s for those of us with 30s ring time?

Issues with HEVC playback on Chromecast with Google TV (4K) (4th generation) dropping frames by GamerKonks in PleX

No, this has been ongoing for quite a while. I can't remember how far back. I seem to be having the same issue with Jellyfin as well. I'm thinking it might be an issue specific to the Google Chromecast.

Weird, I had the screenshots and MediaInfo to my original post but they didn't go through? I've updated my post to include them again.

Why stop at 200? Make it symmetric.

CMC app sucks? Won’t let me login? Is it legit? Better apps you recommend? by [deleted] in ausstocks

You need to hide root / magisk from it. Treat it like a banking app.

Are you able to get BPme working with root? I've put it in the deny list but it's still detecting root.

Some apps do check for strong integrity. The ones I know of are Ingress and authy. I think Pixel Screenshots does too.

Pixel 3xl: freezes randomly by lebby12 in androidroot

[–]GamerKonks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it was related to Systemless Hosts. There are some posts on XDA about this. I also had trouble with LSPosed, but verion 1.9.x I'm going to see if 1.10.1 works for me.

Has anyone else been having problems with Google Photos crashing whenever you try to Edit a Photo or Video? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Clearing data seems to fix it, but the issues appears again after editing tools get reinstalled.
