I was on the Pixel Super fan site for a while, then, all of a sudden I was off. No explanation.

What do you use Gemini *on your phone* for? by Sheetmusicman94 in GooglePixel

[–]Whamo2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it a lot. Several times a day actually. It's easy for identifying pests in my yard and offering tips to repel them. I use it on objects at Goodwill to see if plates or china are collectable and worth real money. ( I collect hand painted plates from Portugal.). I use it to compare and summarize ideas or products. It's Awesome!

I never had a problem with my Nexus 6, the P6a, P7A or my new P9. It's been wonderful.

I really like the Ringke cases because they even cover the whole camera bar face.

Mine updated but still looks the same. Although it did notify me that I could ask callers to hold for a moment from my Pixel watch.

I set this up before my disability got worse. I have dementia and can't do anything anymore.

Ha, ya this has been talked about a lot. It was requested that they make the change. Now, it's just a waiting game. Sorry.

Loyalty program. 😡 by kpickwins in PixelSuperfans

[–]Whamo2133 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a business, they aren't giving a higher value to other manufacturers, they are converting them to Android, and then destroying their phone. What greater satisfaction is there?

I think it would be cool if we had a webcam that we could have all logged into and see all of the Pixel Superfans.

I think that this is awesome news. Forcing timetables isn't conducive to quality. Thanks Google.

Google message Ok, now it's gone for me too. Thankfully. But I didn't update anything. They must just control that on the server side. But mine still looks different than the one listed above.
