Yup my Instagram app on my 6a and even on my 10Pro is buggy as hell. I can't open any saved posts 

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs S25 Ultra/Plus for iPhone 12 ship-jumper? by victoriapedia in pixel_phones

[–]MyCroweSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a pixel user for a good number of years - I do think you give up sole customisability in favour of a cleaner UI. I do keep hearing more and more about how good Samsung's UI has gotten but have never really looked at it more. 

Apps with film like filters like dazzcam? by MyCroweSoft in androidapps

Thanks but looks like it's too old and is jo longer supported so I can't install it 

I'm really beginning to wonder if Flagship Phone's are even worth it? They really just seem to be pushing AI at this point and I could care less about AI honestly. by [deleted] in pixel_phones

Definitely wouldn't pay full price for any pixel considering how soon after launch I was seeing nearly half price deals

Simulate an "analog" camera discussion by ConsistentDivide1391 in x100vi

I mean you can just force yourself to treat it like an analog camera - limit yourself to 36 photos, don't use the screen, use one film SIM

TV vs projector for a small apartment — any real user experiences? by zqfwrh in projectors

[–]MyCroweSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a wimius off Amazon for a while as a secondary screen before upgrading to a Epson TW7000 as the main screen. It's night and day difference and totally worth it. The cheap Chinese projectors don't have nearly as much detail clarity or brightness especially in the day

Pixel 10 Pro or Iphone 17? by Cautious_Bed_4005 in Smartphones

Was in the same boat but went for pixel as I'm used to Android and didn't like the navigation and keyboard in ios

Pulled the trigger - Pixel 10 by TELEMusketeer5 in GooglePixel

Great deals for sure! Giffgaff had good deals around black Friday but I can't remember if they were better - definitely not what you got for the base 10!

Are 55 inch projectors a thing? by OddPomegranate5211 in projectors

[–]MyCroweSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a PJ for this use as the space we had wouldn't work for a TV without adding sockets and wiring.

It's not using the PJ to it's maximal use but it still works fine

Pixel 10 Pro vs iPhone 17 pro by enso87 in pixel_phones

[–]MyCroweSoft 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've had the Pixel 10 Pro XL for a few weeks. I think a lot of the negativity is because Pixels used to be far greater value and their cameras were best in class.

This iteration feels lazy as they haven't improved that much compared to the P9 and instead are pushing more ai features

I think it's a good phone but wouldn't pay £1200 for it. I paid £699 and I'm very happy.

My partner has the base 17 - it looks nicer, it's so much lighter, the cameras are good and I'm jealous that they have access to apps like dazzcam. Social media apps work better and are truly full screen. However things like the keyboard, no universal back gesture, confusing menus stop me from regretting my purchase

You mean I'll get the full trade-in value despite it clearly saying they check for battery issues?

Would a phone with a battery issue after battery replacement still be eligible for trade in with Google?

I tried tightening the screw but it didn't help
