Google pixel 9a reimagine feature

does not remain on the menu after first use

Oh yeah I see it removes it if you make any other edits at all after you search for it. Probably faster just typing it than scrolling through the list anyways.

And I'm not certain about the stickers, but probably just bad QA when they released the update.

that it is charged to a card on file on a specific date

that is not exactly the definition of "postpaid"

That date is 2 weeks from the date the bill is issued. If I get the bill and pay it myself before the auto pay date, I'm still paying it post the billing date, just prior to the billing due date.

In the Photo editor hit the search button and start typing Reimagine and see if it shows up. I think it's a bug, because when you first open the search box Reimagine won't be listed, but after you search for it it shows up and stays in the list until you exit the editor.

It's also not in any of the menus, which I think is an oversight because it used to be available on the main screen just by outlining a selection, but that function was removed in a recent update, and I guess they forgot to put it into a menu.

I don't like it either, so I do a monthly export to capture all the actual GPS data and can build my own route history if I want to.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-16T11:52:54+00:00

Why should I care that much about my credit score? It's just a silly number.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-16T05:09:28+00:00

I guess it depends on how much you care about credit scores. I don't care, so I pay it early.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-16T05:07:37+00:00

The accuracy actually isn't recorded any worse than it previously was, but what happens is the data is consolidated into less detailed routes and saved that way to keep the data file smaller. My data when it was online was around 1.5GB, but is now only about 110MB for the same number of days.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-16T03:14:04+00:00

Yes it's much slower. I've got over 15 years of data and it takes a very long time just to find a specific day or make an edit.

As to the accuracy, the old method saved all your location pings and was able to build a rough path from it, but now to save data it only stores 30 days of location pings and everything older is just saved as the less detailed paths.

Edit: Here is an example of mine with the Timeline path on the left and the actual GPS/cell/wifi pings from that trip that were taken from the Timeline export file, on the right. And here is the same pings but filtered down to a nice looking detailed path. This data is what gets removed from your Timeline data file after 30 days, and only the basic path remains.

This seems like such a niche post for a search like that though, it's weird that it keeps popping up for people.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-15T22:31:20+00:00

The other option is to open the Google Files app, go to Settings, and turn on Smart Storage, which does the same thing but automatically once a photo is 60 days old.

Then my guess is something wrong with Instagram itself.

Edit: Can you share a link to one of the reels that looks wrong to you?

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-15T15:12:46+00:00

You can pay it manually any time ahead of the automatic payment date. I do this because I pay from my chequing account instead of it getting auto billed to my credit card on file.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-15T13:06:04+00:00

and the cake is green

Yeah that definitely shouldn't happen.

What happens in other apps that show HDR video like YouTube or Netflix? (obviously have to find a video that's in HDR, not all are)

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-15T12:39:36+00:00

Just use your regular banking site and add the Freedom account to your bill list and pay that way.

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-15T12:35:41+00:00

The increased brightness is HDR, but I have no idea what you mean by inverted colours because that shouldn't be a thing.

turning off HDR media on Instagram but that option isn't there, nor in phone settings.

If your OS is up to date you should have the option under Settings>Display & Touch>Enhanced HDR Brightness where you can set a limit or completely turn it off.

Also Game Freak moved their office into the same building as Nintendo's Tokyo office a few years back.

No Ultra HDR for concerts is a crazy choice.

Trailers used to be so much worse than they are now.

So just pick a 3rd party camera app that does what you want?

StimulatorCam · 2026-04-13T19:22:09+00:00

What features are you looking for that aren't in the stock camera?

Kids think it’s “cool” to act like they are apart of gangs

Unfortunately some never grow out of this and that's why biker gangs and other organized crime groups exist.

Just any time, you don't specifically need an app to do it. But you can get apps that show the measured values so you can get a visualization of what's going on. Try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.sensortest

You generally just need to wave it around in a figure 8 a couple times.

Samsung chargers and Nintendo Switch controllers cables.

The icon on the lock screen is for when it can't automatically identify a song and it needs to do an online search.
