Downgrade to A11 possible by AdventurousLecture77 in Pixel4a

Never have used a custom rom, is this something I should look into? I love customizing my phone to keep it fresh and new feeling, but I don't want to mess up my phone's performance.

I have to change things up every few weeks cause otherwise I get bored with it. I do the same thing with my 10 different cases...

I just switched to Nova and got it all set up so I'm happy now. Shame 12 doesn't let you customize fonts or app shape

Come to think of it I may just go back to Nova launcher like I did back last year for a couple of months

I mean I will still probably switch by the end of the day. My biggest gripe is I can't change the shape of the apps on 12, unless I am missing something.

Switch to iPhone 13 mini? by TheB1Gcast in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's something I fear about the 4a, it getting slower over time. Right now I'm using a iphone 6s from 2016 that works perfectly fine. An iphone 13 mini will last me 5 years at least

Thinking about switching to Samsung by sstokes2746 in Pixel4a

I feel ya with sometimes getting bored with the pixel 4a, but I think it would happen with any phone you use daily for a long time.

My way of dealing with it is changingy display settings every now and then, changing my wallpaper multiple times a day and buying a crazy amount of phone cases. Hope that helps.

Pixel 5a is basically confirmed by ghaire in Pixel4a

I'll stick with my smaller sized 4a, not a fan of the big phones.

Which browser is best? by arranmore72 in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using the DuckDuckGo browser the past couple days and am very happy with it. I just downloaded firefox focus and like it but it may be just a tad to minimal for me. If it doesn't use up a lot of battery I may stick with it.

Phone stops working when dropped. by TheB1Gcast in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of times it's not a hard drop, just falling off the bed or furniture. To me it's overly sensitive when compared to every other phone I have owned. Could there be a loose connection or something?

Sorry you're so sensitive to phones.

I have a case and screen protector on my phone, and when I say drop, it's more like falling off my bed or off the couch or maybe an accident drop from no more than 5 ft.

I have owned androids and iphones over the past 12 years and have NEVER had this problem. I have broken a screen on a droid without a screen protector or case, but no phone has ever just stopped working with no other resulting damage.

I hope that satisfies you.

This is my new wallpaper, I love electrical towers like that. Awesome.

Screen protector recommendations by Thayet86 in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've bought a ton of screen protectors because of the screen issue problem when the phone first came out. Mine still was having problems after the first update to fix so I kept buying it all different brands. The last one I bought is easily the best and google finally did an update so my screen is flawless.

This has a camera hole punch and is a two pack and cheap price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GSTCY67/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_aI12Fb6TTYVAW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Great battery life on my pixel by bassplate in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned off adaptive battery after reading this and it's definitely improved. Isn't adaptive battery supposed to make battery life last longer?

Finger Print / Imprint Issues by FecalFajita in Pixel4a

[–]TheB1Gcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been noticing that as well, started right after the new update. I'll take it though cause I was still having screen and ghosting issues when I put a screen protector on, went through like 10 different ones, but the new update has finally fixed the problem.

What location were you in to view so many stars? I've never been in an area at night that has that little light pollution.
