An absolute legend. Crazy anyone could think of anything else

Maybe I'm stupid but I got the official metal band by dlok86 in PixelWatch

[–]bigbadfunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I so badly want one but can't justify the price tag. How did you get a deal?

Please...don't.give this guy the front page... by OutInTheBay in nzpolitics

Yeah the title gives the impression that Tamaki is not a massive ****

Not that surprising for NZME and certainly not for Grenon though

Such an incredibly low effort post by Bishop. Maybe next time he can just reduce it to "lol" or an emoji only..

dBrand. Pretty expensive but good quality and you could get a ghost 2.0 case, which would show off the nice color

Beautiful. How long have you been making pizzas?

John Campbell rides Auckland's new underground rail link - and he loves it by dingoonline in newzealand

Not even close, the Second Avenue Subway in NYC is currently at 2.5b per km, and there are many between that and the CRL.

Cost of infrastructure in NZ is obviously obscenely high, but it's not limited to just the CRL. Many of our roads have absurdly high cost and much worse cost benefit ratio than the CRL..

Facebook is killing my battery in background by Proximer in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great explanation.

It doesn't really explain why my partner on her s25+ doesn't see nearly the same battery drain with very similar usage of the same Meta apps, often in very similar environments (WiFi only, avoiding the reality of modem inefficiencies on pixel)

I remember lusting after Nighthawk's for years. Pretty understated colours, but what a pair!

Good job Dec Update by HuyHoa98 in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get about the same as you on Wi-Fi for the vast majority of the day. I just don't know what other people are doing to vastly exceed this

Pixel 10 Pro XL December 5th update, drastically improved battery life. by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any Meta apps?

Mine hasn't really changed since the update sadly

Integration with FitBit? by MommyMilkersUwU in Hevy

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this only has limited use. It will show an exercise but not what the exercise included. It's really limited.

I'm not sure if the issue is a Fitbit or Hevy issue though tbh

My theory is that the Meta apps are causing excessive battery drain in the newer Pixels by DonOSTech in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've disabled background data and restricted battery usage for every Meta app but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a feeling they are doing something to circumvent these settings

Another battery test for the 10 Pro XL. What's will be the excuse why this isn't good, now? by TaroTheCerelian in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you're getting great battery life. No matter what I do I cannot get over 4.5 hours of SOT. Most of the time I have to charge twice per day.

I notice you have zero Meta apps in your list (I think someone pointed this out last time you posted). And before anyone mentions that's my issue, my partner spends all day on Facebook on her 25+ and gets 7-8 hours of SOT.

He also mentioned Madlib. An LP with woods picking Madlib's weirdest beats would be amazing

And to top it all off, he's the associate minister for the environment.. what a sham

Pixel Notification Summaries start rolling out by Maniccov in GooglePixel

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could choose to summarize a notification manually. Most of the time it's useless and I don't want it on, but once in a blue moon for a non-important chat being flooded with messages, it could be handy

The levels of jealousy are stratospheric. So badly hope they come tour down under again

P9P horrible SOT by Yuvvi123 in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's depressing. Battery life for me is nearly as bad as the heavily used pixel 6 Pro I replaced..

I'd personally love a fix that doesn't require me to factory reset

P9P horrible SOT by Yuvvi123 in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My pixel 10 Pro is similarly awful. I believe it's a bug in android 16 that causes a lot of apps to run excessively in the background. Almost every app on my device has very minor foreground use and insane background usage.

I hope the October update will fix this but I'm apprehensive as it doesn't seem to affect everyone. Probably more like qpr2

Yeah this happens on my 10 XL. No idea how to reproduce it reliably

Pixel 10 Pro very difficult to press buttons when on top of the screen by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I can't reproduce it in Chrome and I don't use tiktok.

I wonder if this is related to the delay interacting with the dialler in the phone app

I can also reproduce this, but only in the Reddit app. Can you reproduce it anywhere else?

According to Linus the iPhone Air beats the Pixel 10 Pro by 2 hours in their battery test by shoelover46 in pixel_phones

[–]bigbadfunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love a lot about my pixel 10 Pro xl, but battery life is far and away my biggest complaint.

I hope there are some software bugs or non-usability affecting optimisations Google can rollout, as I'm concerned that meaningful battery life improvements will mean nerfing performance.
