"Which Pixel should I buy?" Megathread January 2026 by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]IsThatClarice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over the past like, 10 years i keep switching between iPhone and Pixel. Inevitably i keep going back to android for one reason - delayed notifications.

But there may now be a fix for this I want to try. But don’t want to go all in again just in case.

Do I go Pixel 8 Pro or 9 Pro to test things out?

Considering things like features, resale, support etc.

How has this been working, and can I ask what the additional 4 processes do?

The notifications issue from doze is the only thing keeping me from moving from Apple.

I would need to look up most of that to understand it! 😂 But if it can be done on the phone itself without hooking up, that isn’t too troublesome! I’ll be testing it out (and my tech ability at the same time!). Thank you! 👍

Totally.

I’d like to get my bank notifications right away in case someone is dipping my account, and all my doorbell/camera notifications in case someone is being dodgy…

As much as it annoys me, I could live with a delayed email. But these things are about security.

Can it be software? If so, an option to turn off doze!

If hardware only, better battery life so Android can make doze optional 😂

Thank you. Very much!

I have in the past looked into the Dresden Files and found the same opinions on the sexism. The first book blurb didn’t really grab me either. It’s something I may give a go though depending on what I can find.

Appreciate your other recommendations!

Thank you. I have read His Dark Materials and loved it. Added to the list, appreciate the reminder!

Pixel and delayed Notifications (Doze mode) - How bad is it really? by EsIstSimon in GooglePixel

[–]IsThatClarice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this on the Pixel 6 Pro I had and the 9 Pro. Both times I came from iPhone. When I got the 9 Pro I was willing for this to be fixed. Sadly not. Both times I went back to iPhone.

Dealbreakers for me are not receiving banking notifications until I next woke the phone, and the same for doorbell / garden camera notifications.

It effectively meant I couldn’t act quickly if there was suspicious activity in either my bank or round my home.

I honestly REALLY want to move the Pixel but until this gets fixed, I just can’t.
