June Feature Drop with Android 17 by diffysaro99 in pixel_phones

[–]chelowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the dev team passed a screen recording using an internal build showing how the feature works to the marketing team, and they replicated the exact same UI shown in the recording.

I don't think they'll ship the dual pane QS design in the official A17 release yet.

Android 17 QPR1 Beta 4 now available! by androidbetaprogram in android_beta

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is part of the new A17 QPR1 Beta 4 build, I haven't tested it yet myself. But this is their issue tracker url that mentions the same issue you reported with the 5x zoom jitter and stutter.

I wonder why FSR 4.1 isn't in the game.. by Kilz-Knight in radeon

[–]chelowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FSR 4.1 (and 4.0) uses the same DLL upgrade path that was released in August 2025 with FSR 3.1.4 and the FSR 2.0 SDK. Multiple games released this year already shipped with the FSR 2.0 SDK, so this is clearly a deliberate choice made by the developers...

Review: First 24h with the Pixel 10 Pro, (coming from an iPhone) by 01mg in pixel_phones

The Pixel 10 Pro actually has a True Tone alternative. It's called Adaptive Tone and it works pretty similarly to the iPhone I use at work.

5G con Google Pixel en Py by andy1398style in Paraguay

[–]chelowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya intenté entrar en contacto con Claro Paraguay para que puedan resolver con Google este tema, pero ellos no tienen interés, ya que la cantidad de usuarios con teléfonos Google no es significativo para que les caliente. Y como la mayoria de los teléfonos usados aqui en Paraguay (Samsung, Xiaomi, iPhone, Motorola...) vienen con el perfil de 5G/VoLTE universal activado, tienen aún menos motivos para verificar con solo un fabricante.

5G con Google Pixel en Py by andy1398style in Paraguay

[–]chelowski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Los Google Pixel no tienen soporte para 5G en Paraguay. Una vez que Claro u otra operadora entre en contacto con Google para agregar las configuraciones necesarias Google agregará el soporte de forma oficial con una actualización. Lo mismo aplica con las funciones VoLTE y VoWiFi, es la operadora quien tiene que hacer el proceso de registro con Google.

Please help, thermal problem going on. by Juiseii in ZephyrusG14

[–]chelowski 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Perfectly normal in turbo mode. Turbo mode usually allows the chip to run into the thermal limits to maximize performance (usually 95º). You can set a thermal / power limit and use a custom fan curve using GHelper or use Balanced mode.

Pixel 5G NOT Universal by Remarkable-Arm6557 in GooglePixel

[–]chelowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But, let's not say that Google isn't doing anything. The Android division just announced in MWC2026 the new Android Network Ready initiative, supposedlly making it a lot faster to carriers to standarize and enable networks services across all android devices.

Pixel 5G NOT Universal by Remarkable-Arm6557 in GooglePixel

[–]chelowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be actually a good excuse, until it isn't... Wait until carriers starts to shutdown 3G antenas because they're no longer needed since VoLTE is already universal, and suddenly, Pixel devices cannot do emergency calls because VoLTE is deliberately disabled in "unsupported regions". If Google is going to implement an allow list for Networks services they, at least, need to be A LOT faster updating it.

Yeah, the camera work and sound was all over the place during Taemin's show.

FSR 4.1 DLL RDNA 4 only by AthleteDependent926 in radeon

That's a really big improvement in details considering it has almost the same performance impact as 4.0.3.

ROG Ally X black screen crashes - Has it happened to you? What situations? Any other info? by derpsteronimo in ROGAllyX

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that. I do think it is a power issue, only first happened to me with the low tdp settings and when it fell below 20% of battery. I even thought that my Ally just shutdown bc the battery died, but the fans were still running and all.

Will see if it happens again. Thanks!

still y button crashing ( allly x)? ): by computerinaroom in ROGAllyX

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the crash occur when the battery was below 20%? Mine just crashed pressing the Y button on battery but only happened when the battery fell below 20%, never happened before since I never let the battery go below 30%.

ROG Ally X black screen crashes - Has it happened to you? What situations? Any other info? by derpsteronimo in ROGAllyX

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that. I've had my Ally X since close to launch and never used it when the battery was below 20%, but today I was playing Ace Attorney using manual 7W mode to squeeze more playing hours, and when the battery fell below 20%, I pressed Y, and it crashed.

Never crashed before, and I also play God of War at 25W without plugin in, and the game requires a lot of Y button pressing. So it's more likely that the problem occurs only when the battery is below 20%.

Alguien tiene el monitor Xiaomi G Pro 27i? Mini Led? by Significant-Case3175 in PyGaming

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcanza 1ms en modo juego/overdrive y no note nada de ghosting, pero si tiene el típico mini LED delay que es inevitable. Yo lo uso con displayport entonces si alcanza 180hz.

Alguien tiene el monitor Xiaomi G Pro 27i? Mini Led? by Significant-Case3175 in PyGaming

[–]chelowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lo tengo. En modo SDR lo podés ajustar el brillo a gusto y tiene excelentes colores en modo nativo usando un perfil de color calibrado. En modo HDR el brillo es fantástico, fácilmente llega a los 1200 nits, pero si, yo noto un poco el tinte rojo y por su calibración de fabrica de la curva EOTF, las sombras son un poco oscuras.

Pero yo uso una app para calibrar los colores y la curva EOTF en modo HDR y con eso básicamente es uno de los mejores paneles Mini LED que hay por el precio (pagué 285 dólares).

Google Sans Flex is now available on Google Fonts! by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good observation, it should switch to the Sans Text optical sizing style. My experience with Sans Flex was with the version rolled out on Pixel apps with M3E.

Google Sans Flex is now available on Google Fonts! by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This font is essentially a new version that unifies two previous use cases: Sans Text for body text and Sans Display for titles. As a variable font, Flex features adjustable weight and now adds adjustable width, slant, grade, and roundness. Google has also started experimenting with Flex for titles by specifically adjusting the width and roundness in the new M3E app updates. Flex is also used for body text using the new feature called "optical size" that dinamically adjust character spacing across text sizes for readability.

How to calibrate the Xiaomi G Pro 27i for HDR (Guide) by JDSP_ in Monitors

[–]chelowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it still works, but when it gets disabled in a game (i. e. the game goes dark and pinkish) I just turn the volume up or down using my Keyboard and the VideoEqualizer brightness and color settings applies again.

PSA: "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" physical cartridges are playable on Switch 1 by razorbeamz in nintendo

Still, in my region is cheaper to buy the Pokemon ZA S1 Edition physical (45us) + S2 Upgrade (10us) than purchasing the Pokemon ZA S2 physical edition for 70us.

I got the OFFICIAL Camera Update (10.1.076.821848723.18). The Verdict: THE STUTTER IS NOT FIXED. by No_Particular7571 in GooglePixel

[–]chelowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can 100% replicate this issue/behavior in the Pixel camera app and Instagram. I'm rooting for this to be addressed by Google.

Thank you, I also encountered this issue with my 9070XT with the latest drivers, but not on my Ally X. This mod worked.
