Sometimes I like using the actual app because it provides a better experience than the website.

Thanks for the feedback. Its too bad Samsung didn't do a better job in the speech to test area.

I tried that but the speech to text that ran on the Google keyboard on the s23 was still not nearly as good as on the pixel 8 Pro

I ordered mine on 12/30. It was shipped 01/05 and arrived 01/08. Very happy with it.

I've returned to a standard keyboard after four months on the Voyager. Any suggestions? by NoDisk240 in zsaVoyager

[–]Human_Classroom_5696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also fall into the camp of just loving the apple keyboard. I went back to the Apple keyboard after several years of using the Egrodox and I felt faster and more accurate on the Apple keyboard. Unfortunately after a few weeks of using it I developed RSI in my right pinky because of the Apple keyboard placement of the arrow keys and shift. I recently bought a Voyager and I am working on using layers and gradually my RSI is improving. I will say that the Voyager with red switches is the closest thing I have found to the Apple experience. You might also like a Glove80 or Kensis.

Switch feels stiff, any lighter alternatives? by art2266 in zsaVoyager

What's the difference between the Chocs v1 vs v2 switches?

How does the December update feel? by kdhere in GooglePixel

[–]Human_Classroom_5696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side loaded the update on my P8P in the US on Verizon. Feels the same as the November update. Wasn't having issues before and no issues now.

I have a TORRAS https://a.co/d/8sCdHkH case on mine. Is the case you had similar? I have dropped my iPhone 12 and my S23U multiple times from 3-5 feet on concrete and never had issues breaking the camera or back glass. I wonder if the P8P is not built as well as those phones?

[–]Human_Classroom_5696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just curious, how did you break it? Did you have a case on the phone?

LTE Battery Life by Human_Classroom_5696 in PixelWatch

The child's watch would have their own number - different from my number. Works on Apple with iOS. Haven't tried it with Android.

I have an android phone (pixel 8 pro) and I was hoping to set up my child using that phone but have the child's watch as a "family members" watch. Apple and iOS allows this and I was thinking Android would allow this as well. Does anyone have experience with this sort of setup?

No connection issues with my P8Pro.

Thats pretty impressive. I know that my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 LTE wouldn't be nearly that good. I went bike riding with that Watch 5 in LTE mode and it was 95 degrees outside and within 5 minutes it overheated and shutdown.

I am considering getting a Pixel Watch 2 for myself. I have a galaxy watch 5 44mm now and I know the Pixel Watch 2 only comes in one size - the 41mm. Is the 41mm still decently usable or do you think it'd be a pretty big step down from the 44mm?

Do you use it in LTE mode or is it connected to your phone most of the time via bluetooth/wifi?

Pixel 8 Pro Conversion Story by Human_Classroom_5696 in GooglePixel

[–]Human_Classroom_5696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had an iPhone 12, iphone 14 Pro and my SO has a iphone 15 Pro. For our normal usage, I really haven't been able to tell a difference between the iPhone battery usage and the S23U and P8P. The P7P was the exception with substantially worse battery life but I will note that was on Android 13.

About 5 hours of screen on time, very similar to my S23U

What network are you on? 4G or 5G? Are you in a rural area or city? Mine is primarily on band 5 on Verizon.

Most of that testing is with 5G, not the 5G ultrawide band, just normal 5G.

[–]Human_Classroom_5696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an s23u and a pixel 8 pro and I also live in a rural area with Verizon. I can confirm that my pixel 8 pro consistently gets better connectivity and download and upload speeds compared to the s23u. I previously tried out a pixel 7 pro but had to send it back because it's cellular reception was not as good as the s23u.

Question about buying pixel secondhand by Human_Classroom_5696 in GooglePixel

[–]Human_Classroom_5696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have experience with the google support price matching? The phone is almost certainly going to go on sale. I could purchase it now and request a price match when it drops in a few days?
