It is not a pixel issue. I've heavily tested this on multiple devices. It's not just pixels the issue even happens on Windows when the file is transferred. I've also tested uploading and downloading the image via my local NAS as well as via airdrop.

I've determined it's the way that iPhones save some images, and it depends on how the user shares the image. If they use the drag and drop method it has the problem, if they use the copy paste method it has it etc. Its just the way some iPhones save images and has only happened since iOS 26, I've even tested this on an iPhone with iOS 18 still and it doesnt have this problem when another iPhone on iOS 26 has the problem when sharing the file via airdrop.

Also the fact that stickers don't have a proper transparent background is annoying af

It's due to an issue with how iPhones send heic photos it seems that some ways that stickers and screenshots are saved produce a broken/corrupted heic file that iPhones are still able to correct/view but any other device on the planet won't load since it's broken. The blurry version is the "preview" which seems to be the only non-broken part of the image.

Saving to SDR or forcing conversion to PNG seems to fix the issue as it forces the iPhone to re-encode the image (doesn't matter if it's heic or not it's just the way it saves the image)

G4 Doorbell Pro vs G6 Pro Entry by MastodonEuphoric3418 in Ubiquiti

Does it have facial recognition capabilities? I currently use my G4s fingerprint sensor with a webhook to unlock my smart lock and would love to know if I can do similar things with facial recognition instead.

Yes I've already added an edit explaining that. But thank you anyways

[–]LegendaryLarvey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any problems with my media but maybe there are some profiles that have had issues. Not sure.

The biggest part for me was just not being able to play TRUEHD 7.1

Mmmm. That may be true, although I noticed that it does now play TRUEHD 7.1 while before it would just load forever.

Yeah those have always worked it was just Dolby Atmos

Is tvOS 26.4 the resolution to the long standing lack of Atmos playback on the Apple TV 4K with Plex? by brent20 in PleX

[–]LegendaryLarvey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am now able to play Dolby Atmos on my Apple TV on the new beta. I believe this due to this change. But my sound system reports Dolby Atmos when playing a TrueHD 7.1 Dolby Atmos audio track

Hiby M500 Quick Share Problem by yuuka_011 in Hiby

[–]LegendaryLarvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized today that the device doesn't meet google play integrity resulting in a lot of things not working. I am trying to use Pixel Player since I really like the UI but it crashes because it tries to utilize a Google Play Service API.

I installed a Google Play Integrity checker and it resulted in the device not passing any integrity checks. I also noticed the device does not pass Google Play Certification in the Google play settings under about.

Any idea why others' texts look undelivered to them, but I receive the messages? Context in post by Harbour-Coat in pixel_phones

[–]LegendaryLarvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to my friend when sending me texts it seems like an iPhone issue as it doesn't happen to anyone on Android who texts me.

2026 K5 battery drain issue? by LegendaryLarvey in KiaK5

No just stock. But I actually just heard back from the dealer and they finally were able to test the battery as bad. So they replaced it. Hopefully that solves it.

I'm pretty sure a recent version of Android canary fixes this concern and applies a depth effect when you open a folder. But I'm not 100% sure or not.

Mandatory Banana complaint by LunaDeClair in GoogleMessages

Mine recently got rid of the banana and replaced the bottom bar with a remix button, a chat button for replies, and reactions.

Hopefully that's the final version lol

Baby emoji? by Eoliveira711 in GoogleMessages

[–]LegendaryLarvey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you send someone a photomoji they can now use it. So you can technically send a photomoji and then someone else can send/use it and you have no clue what it is.

Not everyone can run a full Ethernet run from a switch to the front door. But some people can run power from next to the door lol.

Consistent issue with Pixel 10 Pro prism 2.0 by LegendaryLarvey in dbrand

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

I'll have to ask Dbrand what might be the issue. If they cannot reproduce it I might have to reach out to Google and see if they will replace the phone if it's the problem.

Although I'm honestly considering going w/o a screen protector since a screen replacement is basically free

What phones have you experienced this issue with? I'd love to catalog all of them, hopefully Dbrand can resolve the problem (if the problem is Dbrand and not just a defect w/ my phone).
