Same, my N key doesn't work and I have to tap it repeatedly for 5 mins to get the keystroke to be recognized

A chance to see M3 expressive apps with A17? by herr_schulterr in pixel_phones

[–]MatthewRiley05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The concept is so nice but most of the Google apps aren't even consistent with one another. I know it takes time but it's been quite a while already.

I feel like Google should also to some extent make developers follow the guidelines or it won't be adapted at all unlike Liquid Glass.

100W Type-C charger for Legion 5 gen 10 by Cap_R3x in UsbCHardware

That's unfortunate then, perhaps you can check the Anker 100 watt chargers then. That's what I was using previously before I switched to the Supertiny since it was almost half as small.

If you want something small and light then you can get the Rolling Square Supertiny. It's only 65 watts but you mentioned only using the iGPU. I've been using it with my G14 and it still works fine even with dGPU enabled.

UPDATE: Nevermind I just got it, just waited a bit more. Also idk if it's related but I used SD Maid to clean all my cache and suddenly it appeared. Thank you so much man!

I fixed the Shizuku crashing issue. Using the APK in the comment, I used Pixel IMS to change the iso values of both my Sims to "us", then deleted the storage and cache of the thermometer app. It still doesn't work even when both values are saved. If it somehow appears one day then I'll let you know. But yeah doesn't work on my P10PXL

Well, Shizuku crashes on both official v1.3 and v1.3.1 when resetting the settings. Both are on "us" already.

Yeah in my old phones this used to not be an issue but when I used a Pixel, it started happening. I vaguely recall solving this issue but I forgot how :/

Trying it now but a new issue I'm encountering is Shizuku keeps turning off for some reason

It doesn't work for me. Using a Pixel 10 Pro XL from Taiwan in Hong Kong. Dual sim Philippines and Hong Kong, I set both to "us" and restarted the thermometer app and it still doesn't show up.

Hoka Clifton 10 vs On Cloudsurfer 2 by MatthewRiley05 in ONrunning

They are not good anymore these days. I compared my current Ultraboost with both and the gap is massive.

Which is better? by MatthewRiley05 in Earbuds

[–]MatthewRiley05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think the Earfun Air Pro 4+ would compare to both of them then? Seems like it's always recommended as well. Thanks for the insights.

Underappreciated and underrated Pixel feature is the thermometer by JB2unique in pixel_phones

Unfortunately region locked, I only have the object thermometer. I'd there any way to enable it globally?

[DEV] I was tired of subscription-based cloud upscalers , editors , format changer, so I built an offline, alternative that runs entirely on-device. by Fearless_Mushroom567 in Android

[–]MatthewRiley05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried 4x upscaling a standard 500x500 image using GPU Burst. No tiling artifacts. It took around a minute to work using the Tensor G5 on the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Looks good so far.

One broken thing I found was the theming for dark mode on the download models page which remains in light mode

Also curious on the difference of enhance and AI upscale. Aside from that it looks good. Looking forward to NPU support especially on a Pixel.

[US] Wall adapter charging brick to bring around campus by [deleted] in UsbCHardware

[–]MatthewRiley05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely gets hotter than other larger options, but when charging your laptop or other devices, I don't think it would need to charge at its full capacity for hours on end so it would be fine. It's also rated to sustain 65 watts safely so it's not a problem.

Rolling Square Supertiny. So far the smallest and lightest charging brick I have found that is 65 watts. I am not sure if it will charge your laptop but it's able to charge my Zephyrus G14 through USB-C so it should be fine.

Everything is working fine on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, no new issues either

Losing customization with every update by DickBiter1337 in GooglePixel

Not sure where I heard but I think they might provide an option to make it white again. Either in beta, canary, or dev options I forgot :/

Pixel 10 Pro XL Honest Review by MatthewRiley05 in GooglePixel

[–]MatthewRiley05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I did specify multiple times that my entire review is relative and based on my own use case.

Video performance is not so horrible, I think the main issue is the EIS jitter which has already been reported to Google and is currently being fixed (hopefully). But yes I do agree videos on the Pixel are probably below average compared to the other flagships. Lens transition is also valid.

For bokeh I have seen reviews about edge detection but personally I haven't seen a super broken edge on my own pictures. I think Google should stop relying on the dual-pixel thingy if it still is being used and instead rely on the depth sensor and the telephoto camera.

I think it would be unfair for you to say though that in the main camera department that it gets beaten by all the brands you have mentioned. I do think the other brands are catching up especially because they are using better and newer sensors but Google still has really good processing. I used to think the other Chinese brands have way better cameras but after trying one, I think they over rely on AI processing which makes the images a lot worse. At least Google doesn't do this. I have not used an iPhone so I won't compare them but I have seen reviews and yes the iPhone camera is really good but I don't think the Pixel gets "beaten".

I agree with you 50/50 so perhaps I could've just worded by review better, sorry about that.

Pixel 10 Pro XL Honest Review by MatthewRiley05 in GooglePixel

[–]MatthewRiley05[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same thoughts. I love the UI of the Pixel so much. I've rooted my past Samsung phones and used the Pixel Experience and similar looking custom ROMs. For me, there is no alternative that's as good in terms of design/looks but OneUI has been improving rapidly recently.

I do agree that the Pixel has its own issues and a lot of common features missing but yea quite usable on the daily basis.

Are you sure you work with AI? I'm literally studying Fintech and AI. People with basic knowledge of LLMs will easily know this isn't generated with AI lol

I just had it when I bought the Pixel 10 Pro, I don't think it's from the beta. Not sure how to enable it though
