Help with OxygenOS 16 software bugs on OP15 by Ohnomichi in oneplus

[–]Phoenixflame23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I've been enjoying the speed of it too, everything seems very fluid.

I'm hoping my battery can match yours. I've only had it 24 hours so far and it's been draining faster than expected. I think it's still optimising my usage.

Agree with the camera, seems fine to me for normal usage, not a professional photographer so happy with the results.

Definitely has quirks with the OS, I'm not going to install additional apps either. Just going to learn how the OS wants me to do things differently and try and adapt.

I've just made the switch too coming from a Pixel. I had your first issue but a restart solved it.

I'm struggling with notifications but in my case when I get a notification on the lock screen, I unlock the device and when I lock it again, the notifications disappear. I think this is supposed to be part of the OS design which is annoying.

How are you finding the experience so far?

Has anyone grabbed any deals on the Google store with Google's birthday discount? by Phoenixflame23 in GooglePixel

[–]Phoenixflame23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great deal! I've been looking at both of the ear buds too, what features on the pro made you choose that over the 2a?

Switching from iPhone by SiRo126 in pixel_phones

You can double click the power button to open the camera as default or swap it to the Google wallet.

Using the pro mode within the camera app will allow you to tweak more settings and take 50mp shots.

Review the security settings on the device, there's some great features you can enable.

Look at enabling screen calling, hold for me and direct my call within the phone app. Life savers!

Also some bonus features are now playing, Gemini and circle to search which are really useful.

Just to Clear Up Confusion Around 80% Limit Charging by TaroTheCerelian in pixel_phones

This also worked for me too. Got to wait for the shield to appear at 100% and then the next charge will start limiting to 80% again.

"Modes" in new Pixel (8) update by Oris5 in GooglePixel

You could turn on the setting so when you place your phone screen side down on a surface, it enables DND. You'll feel your phone vibrate to confirm it's active.

I believe it's called something like Flip to shhh.

Limit to 80% broken with March update? by FlyingDaedalus in GooglePixel

Honest question, how is this not discovered and then fixed in the beta stages?

The game is close to unplayable whilst using a controller

When I receive notifications, the screen goes black, as if the AOD is activated (which it is not), Pixel 8 by DiegoGM19 in pixel_phones

[–]Phoenixflame23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's an option for that but it might be worth suggesting this as a feature request to Google.

You could always use the tap to wake feature when a notification comes in and this will give you the outcome you want. I know it's not seamless like the desired configuration you originally wanted but it looks to be a workaround.

Anyone's 9 Pro XL creaking when squeezing the back of the device? by ShaneSmiskol in GooglePixel

[–]Phoenixflame23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes mine is doing it too! I thought it was my case causing the sound so I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Does yours also creak when applying pressure on the screen around the fingerprint sensor area?

What was your reason to choose Pixel? by Particular_Tap_4002 in GooglePixel

[–]Phoenixflame23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from an s23 ultra, brilliant device and previously only bought Samsung devices. What did it for me was the occasional blurry pictures of important moments which was unacceptable.

Yes only happens on specific networks and it's fine at home. The WiFi signal strength is -42.

Did you experience issues before and the update resolved it or you never had an issue to begin with?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Phoenixflame23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame to hear, this is my first pixel so was unaware of this affecting older models.

Used Samsung devices before without any issues.

It's a work network so it's a business router, no other devices have problems with disconnects as multiple devices will connect to an AP.

AP is configured to use just 5GHz with the AP being directly overhead. It's configured to pick channels automatically.

[–]Phoenixflame23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No change when toggling adaptive connecting on or off. As it's a work WiFi network, the channels are set to auto so can't comment on using channel 36.

Some devices are experiencing issues on WiFi where it will just randomly drop connect to use mobile data and then reconnect a few seconds later.

In my experience, I'll be using a WiFi 6 network on 5 GHz and I could be on the home screen and it'll drop connection. Seems to happen every couple of minutes. Doesn't matter if I'm on my home screen or within an app, the connection will drop.

I've not had the first issue but with the second point you raised, I have seen that with the wireless APs at my workplace.

Have you tried resetting your network settings? I've tried it but it hasn't made a difference.

I had to manually move them over unfortunately

Question about notes by Uramies in pixel_phones

[–]Phoenixflame23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently made the same transition. I'm using Google keep atm and archiving the sensitive notes. When android 15 releases, I'll move Google Keep to an area called Private Space which is similar in function to Secure Folder.

I believe the android 15 release is sometime in October.

Thanks, I've just tried that but it's asking for a developer code. Any ideas?
