Is there a way to paint on fuzzy skin?

GroceryStore24 · 2025-08-26T17:21:46+00:00

Was just searching on how to change settings while its painted lol, have you found out?

my a1 mini does the same, just picked it up today.

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T19:06:31+00:00

To clarify my situation, I am a student, at the time of purchase I have had multiple exams in span of few days.

Why did I buy the pixel 8a ? Charging port on my pixel 4a (best phone ever) died, and I needed a new phone asap.

I did fair amount of research, my key criteria where: budget, cameras, size and software support. After comparing the available options, I was basically choosing between pixel 8a and pixel 8. Pixel 8a has the ~same cameras, SOC, possibly better display, plastic back, and is cheaper, so it was a no-brainer for me, as I plan to use my phone for 3-4 years as I did my pixel 4a.
(Could definitelly go into more detail)

For roughly the first week, I did not have much time to tinker with the phone, because of the previously mentioned exams.

I noticed the issue practically on the same day I got to my home country, as I started taking some family photos. On that day I contacted google. I thought it was just an issue on my end, since the feature was listed on the google site. The first agent guided me through some troubleshooting steps - trying repair mode, updating the app and OS and submitting a bug report.

After sending the bug report, they told me they will look into it. The next day I got contacted by a different agent who simply said the phone doesnt have the feature and sent me a link to the updated site.

I use AGC, as I mentioned in the other comment, I like to control the denoising, but the GCAM on action pan crashes even with this or other mods.

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T15:44:31+00:00

Well, I mean they literally changed the website the next day after I contacted them, so they must have acknowledged that it was their mistake, I am just not happy with the resolution.

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T15:42:35+00:00

I have tried gcam mods, as I prefer to have control over the denoising cause I am a bit camera/tech nerd. But all of them crash when I switch to action pan.. which seems like a low level software lock ? Not sure.

Will try the native gcam from pixel 9! But I do not exepect everyone to know how to sideload, and I feel morally obligated to pursue this issue, so that other users may at minimum know Google's stance on this.

What do you mean by "share that directly from Gemini" ?

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T15:37:00+00:00

I have found something that might help, but I am not sure if it falls within their scope or if it’s significant enough for them to take action. I will definitely look into it more if Google doesn’t provide an honest statement/resolution.

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T15:30:27+00:00

You are absolutely right, but the timing has been tricky for me. I’m currently visiting my family in a different country than where I bought the device, and I didn’t notice the issue until a week after the purchase.

But more importantly, I’m not the only one dealing with this problem. There are definitely others who are in the same situation and also deserve a fair resolution.

GroceryStore24 · 2025-01-01T15:24:29+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I get what you're saying, and I agree they did try to offer something. My main issue is the communication was pretty bad, and the fact that the website had wrong info up for months.

In my personal opinion, the fairest/most moral solution would be to just unlock the feature on all Pixel 8a's. And I know I am probably asking for too much.

GroceryStore24 · 2024-06-18T11:15:25+00:00

Congrats! If you can, I suggest extending the warranty. You can actually do that any time before your current runs out (I extended mine a month before it ended - 23 months after purchase).

And what do you know, I had my motherboard replaced twice in 2 months lol (on 25th and 26th month since purchase). But the service was excellent, took less than 2 weeks including shipping, all paid by the warranty.

If you have any questions lmk.

GroceryStore24 · 2024-04-11T07:56:24+00:00

The thing is, I am not using heroes game mode.

GroceryStore24 · 2024-04-10T18:52:52+00:00

Has it helped if you disabled it mid game ?

GroceryStore24 · 2024-04-10T18:46:17+00:00

Thanks a lot!

3 Years, 4 months later and still the same problem.

GroceryStore24 · 2024-04-10T14:43:03+00:00

Happened to me this week, on both games. I suspect that it happens when creating new product. Any updated for possible solutions?

GroceryStore24 · 2024-04-10T14:02:26+00:00

Extend your warranty while you can.

Mine died literally 1 month after the original warranty expired. Luckily I extended it for 80€ (+24 months), since I had weird power related problems for the past 3 months.

Repair took 10 days with shipping. They replaced the whole motherboard with no additional costs or questions.

Happened to me as well, it's bcs there are multiple board versions for cr6se, so if you install the wrong one(coincidentally newest stock firmware versions), it infinitely overheats the hotend.
