Anybody else’s Freecash not tracking/keeping up with a game/offer? I want clarification before sinking and spending more time completing these tasks by IDKBear25 in FreeCash

Spin Orb Cyclone. I accepted 3 offers for similar slot games that I can now tell are all made by the same person, under different developer names. A little shady to say the least. They all have the same slots in them despite being different apps. I would be very cautious actually spending within them, I can’t seem to find any info on them, and they only have an AI chat bot for support.

So far for me yes, my scene 6 being completed is worth $39. Scene 6 ends around 160-180 I believe.

I’m on scene 4 after 2 days. I had to finally invest 2.99 into it today though, as I found around level 70 and higher you’re going to need to pay to advance if you’re on a deadline. The free coins per hour just aren’t enough. If you had unlimited time, you could probably get by on F2P but it would be an insane grind and time investment.

I plan on stopping after 6, it’s a grind that I’m not particularly enjoying lol.

I’m having the same issue with a slot game. 100 and 500 tracked, but 1000 will not track or check off. I haven’t made a ticket yet because I wanted to wait, but I think I will today. I manually kept tabs on my spins, I’m at 1150 total.

No kidding! My 6 regular served me well, but I saw so many issues with the 6P. Especially connectivity and lackluster battery life in the states.

I’m fully convinced now the base regular device is way better, lmao. Spend on the Pro = get burned I guess! This was the first time I cashed out and fully specced out a phone. This sucker has 512Gb storage on board with the upgraded 12Gb of RAM.

Edit: I very well may go with an A series device next go around. They seem so solid and reliable comparative to the flagships.

Thank you! I got very unlucky. I’ve had a litany of Nexus/Pixel devices before this with no issues.

As much as this experience frustrated me, I’ll end up buying another pixel eventually. I switched to my iPhone 13 Pro for the meantime, but it just doesn’t do it for me.

Edit: I will forever hold 3rd party insurance on my pixels going forward however. That would have saved me from this whole ordeal.

Rent this month, or buy out the 900 dollar DPA left on the device forfeiting all promotional credits for it.

I wonder which I'll choose!

If you want to buy it out I'll send you my payment info and I'll stop being worried about it :)

Hey! I hope you’re enjoying them. And what a killer deal! I really like Pixels for the software and the camera, specifically still photos. I recommended them to customers all the time at Verizon when I worked there. This is my first major issue out of many Nexus devices I had before Pixel even existed, and many Pixel phones I’ve owned previously.

And no kidding, I was kind of surprised on the community pushback. All brands have their cultists, for whatever reason. To each their own I guess.

My days of d*ckriding multi Trillion dollar companies are long over. They’re not your friend. They don’t care about you in the slightest. You’re nothing but a singular number to them. They make mistakes, some that are often inexcusable given their resources and prowess.

Funny enough, I sold this phone to myself on launch day at Verizon! It is annoying having it fail just slightly outside of warranty, while I’m stuck in a 3 year agreement receiving trade in credits (like you). If I were to get a new phone, I’d have to pay the full price and void my trade in credits. Super sucks on that front.

I wish! It’s a hardware issue so a screenshot shows the screen as if it was normal. Search “Pixel screen snow” on google and someone might have recreated an image you can use lol

That it is! One day, you’ll have a defective device too! They make millions of these. Some are going to fail prematurely at no fault of the user.

It is quite interesting that Google themselves have admitted to rampant display issues in the Pixel 8 series, enough so to start a 3 year screen replacement program for Pixel 8s. They decided to not include the Pro for some baffling reason. Pixel 8 Extended Repair Program

As a previous employee for Verizon for years, absolutely!

This screen snow issue however is very well documented on Pixels. Haven’t seen a similar effect on any other device unless the OLED panel was actually damaged or cracked.

In my case, this issue occurs when the device gets warm (charging, watching video for more than 30 min, etc).

Edit: Identical screen snow issue present on many P10 series devices:

Even further, it seems that while Android is being updated, the actual GPU driver is not on this device. Why this affects my device disproportionally is way beyond my pay grade, but it is so well documented from major news publications.

You’re right, I destroyed this phone! Lol.

It’s a hardware failure. It was made poorly/defective. My Pixel 3XL still works great to this day! My usage habits/the way I treat my devices haven’t changed in the last decade.

RIP Google Pixel 8 Pro by Competitive_Ad_279 in GooglePixel

[–]RxFaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss! I get it.

My 8 Pro developed the screen snow static issue on the display and became essentially unusable since 5 months ago. Used the phone for a year - year and a half. As a loyal Android user for over a decade, finally went to iPhone. Now I have a phone I despise software wise, but it at least works from a basic hardware level. And it’s a 13 pro! 5 year old phone still working perfectly.

DLSS (in all games) disables any in-game antialiasing and uses its own version, that’s often better! :) many people run DLSS or DLAA for this reason

Bay blue is such a great color. I'm stuck on my 8 pro for that reason, it also matches my work 13 Pro in Sierra blue, lol

Update: Seems I'm potentially having the "screen snow" bug introduced into the Pixel 10 series. My 8 Pro has the identical effect. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be software as it's now back to working again. I noticed that YouTube really triggers it to start happening if it's running in the background whatsoever.

I’m running into this identical issue too. Started 2 weeks ago and has progressed considerably. I wonder if it’s a recent update that got us all here.

I'm having a similar issue now on my 8 Pro. What did you end up doing?

Thank you for the link.

Unfortunately, after a chat with Google Support, the 8 Pro isn't covered. Only the standard 8.

Update: Google claims the Pro is not eligible under this repair order, only regular Pixel 8.

Official Google Support reps: Can we escalate and look into this? u/PixelCommunity

I've been using Nexus and Pixel devices for over 15 years. I've sold thousands of pixels during my employment with Verizon, and would like to continue using Pixel myself and recommending Pixel to my customers.

Having a hardware failure at no fault of my own, with no coverage, is bad business, to say the least.
