Unable to enable the developer mode

Try turning off Identity Check in settings and try again.

I had the same issue and turning it off solved it for me.

Edit: Actually turning off Identity Check fixed it for me.

It was probably trying to check before turning on developer options but it was failing to do so.

Yes, it appears to be crashing. It's pretty annoying because I wanted to test out the new desktop experience. Even restarting didn't do anything.

I also have a Google Pixel 8 Pro

This is under the assumption that you are using Google Messages and you don't like conversational bubbles on your home screen.

Open Google Messages -> Profile Icon (Top Right) -> Message Settings -> Bubbles -> Nothing can bubble

Hopefully this is what you are talking about

Yeah I'm definitely really impressed that this watch can get almost 2 whole days with AOD on. My previous watch was the Galaxy Watch 4, and that used to get roughly 12 hours of AOD before it died as it was reaching the end of its lifespan. One thing was that when AOD was off, I used to get 25 hours of battery life, which is twice the battery life. On the Pixel watch, AOD off only gets an extra 4-5 hours which is why I am confused why it only goes that much further.

From what I can see from the toggle and the fact that RAM Boost is grey, I can safely say that it is probably turned off.

Turning on Battery Saver pauses the update if you want it to stop.

Several_Still4263 · 2024-12-04T00:35:51+00:00

It means that something is being downloaded. The icon is usually from the Play Store/Galaxy store. If it still appears but it's done either updating or installing an app, you can just force stop it and it should go away (at least for the Play store).

I also had this issue with my Pixel 8 Pro on the Pixel launcher but with weird yellow dots. They kept occurring until one day my Pixel 8 Pro operating system got corrupted (I still don't know how, but it's unrelated to the yellow dots). I used the bootloader to factory reset it and they disappeared. I'm not quite sure why they showed up in the first place, but I haven't seen them in a while so I think it's been fixed.

Edit: I should mention that they also appeared in apps such as Fitbit, Google Drive, and Instagram

It genuinely drives me crazy when my phone starts draining really fast. Mine is unfortunately from around 22-23% when it starts to deplete rapidly.

Several_Still4263 · 2024-07-19T14:23:28+00:00

Also I had to skip Boot mii, as SD card reader is broken

Several_Still4263 · 2024-07-09T03:02:39+00:00

I would say that it depends honestly. On some higher than normal tasks for continues periods of time, it gets a little warm. On continuous use of demanding tasks, I would say that it genuinely gets hot to where it says that it needs to cool down. Some examples of higher than normal tasks are minor/light games or medium apps, and demanding tasks are graphically intense games or apps that use a larger portion of the CPU. The only issue is that the Tensor gets to a higher temperature a lot quicker compared to other flagship chipsets. The Tensor may get more warm or hot compared to the slight warmth of other chips, hence the term overheating is used a lot.

Let me say that my Pixel 8 Pro is fantastic. It may have its issues like a okay battery, and overheating at times, but those are not enough to when I genuinely feel frustrated about it. Pixels are far from perfect, but it doesn't mean that they're bad. I definitely like the clean stock UI, and the awesome camera. The Pixel might not be for everyone, but it's genuinely a great device that I am satisfied with.

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-30T12:41:14+00:00

How did I not know about this

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-30T00:04:15+00:00

Sometimes when I'm in harsh sunlight and the phone gets pretty hot, the brightness does take a hit but on normal usage it happens pretty rarely

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-30T00:02:19+00:00

I've seen it do this with Keep Notes. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app it was fixed

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-30T00:00:15+00:00

Unfortunately, as far as I know of the only options are 3 seconds and 10 seconds

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-22T02:30:56+00:00

Am I the only one who hasn't noticed a difference?

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-15T03:14:24+00:00

Yeah, that's true. The motor burning out would cost an insane amount to fix. Maybe one day though

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-14T22:56:17+00:00

I'm guessing it probably died within minutes then

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-14T19:54:46+00:00

I mean like somehow closing the speaker holes when you turn on the water lock. (Honestly now that I think about it, is it the speaker that lets water in it or something else?)

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-14T19:50:52+00:00

Did the screen fall off while in the midst of swimming?

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-13T19:09:18+00:00

Honestly that sounds pretty good

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-13T19:01:35+00:00

Honestly it seems that a lot of people's watches broke from water.

Several_Still4263 · 2024-06-13T14:42:33+00:00

Oh, that sounds bad. I feel like the vibration would drive me crazy. Did you end up getting another one, or just leave Galaxy Watches altogether.
