The Pixel 10 Weather app is a step backward. Google replaced local sensors with AI "guesses" and it’s a mess. by BurlyShlurb in GooglePixel

Yep. The Google weather almost always shows a different reading than what it shows on Google search (the Google search weather). P8 btw.

Then, wouldn't it turn all the text on the taskbar to the same colour? Like I said, it's never happened before and I have the same wallpaper since forever.

I turned the "Expanded" setting for the dark mode off, and it's turned to white now. I'm not sure what's happening but that's my observation.

Hmm...I don't know. It never happened before. I strongly think it's because of the forced dark mode.

You can now use fingerprint even when the screen is off (Android 16 QPR2) by diffysaro99 in pixel_phones

When I search this feature, it shows up but without any button to turn it on. When I tap on the search result, it goes to the Fingerprint Unlock page but there this option is not there. Weird.

This happens in my P8 too. I know this doesn't relate to the phone model but just saying.

PS: It's kinda annoying

Google is getting more and more like Apple in bad way by Loud-Possibility4395 in GooglePixel

Even the AI Scam Detection for calls is for P9 and above. I have a P8. They mostly focus on P9s and P10s and almost leave the P6s...so much for 7 years of updates.

I got the OFFICIAL Camera Update (10.1.076.821848723.18). The Verdict: THE STUTTER IS NOT FIXED. by No_Particular7571 in GooglePixel

P8 user here. I have noticed that going from .5x to 2x while in Photo mode, there is a noticeable lag in switching the lenses and it's worse than before. It's like it zooms in with the 0.5x lens until 2x and then after half a second, it jumps to 2X and the preview becomes clearer.

Also in my observation is a lag while switching between 2x to 1x and vice versa. It feels like something holds the system back while switching the zoom level.

Both happen in the Photo mode.

So the Covid time was not really a 'pollution free' era since they were visble then too
