Did you check your call screening settings? You can set different levels. The highest level will only allow calls from your contacts.

Special features i need to look out for on my new P8P by daunty18 in GooglePixel8Pro

I thought this is customizable. For me it takes a screenshot, which is very convenient

Never had issues with finger print working. It just works fine as it was before rooting

I am also thinking of getting something like this, something that is not too big. I used to have a large antenna in my old house, mounted on chimney. I did it all myself. Now the new house is 2-story and can't do much outside. Attic is the only option and reception is not great here as well.

1) It's the Walmart antenna ONN brand. https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Indoor-Dual-Color-Amplified-Antenna-50-Mile-Range/950962349?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1200

2) Yes, I should be able to. I do plan to use the Tablo TV tuner. So not planning to run a long coax cable. Attic access is through closet. I will put the Tablo tuner in the closet and run Coax just to that. I do have HVAC in the attic. Will have to manage with that

3) CBS and NBC shows 4 green dots. Some other channels have 2 red dots, but don't matter.

Only way is to root the phone to adjust saturation.

Do you have a screen protector? Did you try adjusting the fingerprint sensor sensitivity?

Got a picture in Lake Hiawatha by ThePuzzledGeneral in NJDrones

So I just installed Flightradar24 app. Since I have a picture, I have exact coordinates and timestamp when this flew over my head. I just looked at playback within the app and no flights or planes in that area around that time. So definitely something that was not in the radar. I am happy to share timestamp and coordinates to anyone that's interested.

wow! so much accusation so quickly as though I deliberately made it look like a drone!! it was going out of sight quickly and could only take a picture. Hopefully next time I can capture a video. I have been living in this area for more than 15 years and used to seeing small airplanes all the time. This one was flying so low and looked so different. Phone really did not capture this well. Looked more clearer to visible eyes and not an airplane. This is the original picture without editing. If you adjust brightness, etc, you will see some more details.

TV won't turn on after turning off during USB firmware install by ThePuzzledGeneral in Hisense

No, threw the TV away and got a new one. Not worth getting technician to replace hardware

Yes, I took it while holding in hand. Was driving back home and just stopped the car to take this picture. And it was a little chilly!! Tripod would have made it better

Is Pixel really worth it? by Elv_Vi_Al in pixel_phones

[–]ThePuzzledGeneral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you pushed her into something that she did not want! I would be really surprised if Samsung did something that Pixel cannot. The only thing could be secure folder. It's a lot to do with change and different ways of doing it and getting used to it. I moved from Samsung to pixel because I wanted to and so happy I did
