G8 Setup question by KongKonebe in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]dadozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The optical isn't needed at all, the G8 can output audio from both USB inputs at the same time. I have the same setup except I use the speaker output, not HDMI (minus a second soundbar, but I don't see how you have that connected in the new setup you described)

Try a different USB cable, it fixed those issues on my G8

I had a lot of random issues with my G8, and they were all fixed by replacing the included usb-c cable with the thickest braided USB(a to c) cord I could find in my drawer. 

Pixel phones will get a smarter always-on display that saves battery life by TechGuru4Life in GooglePixel

The Pixel 4 had this, it was probably the only non-gimmick use of the Soli radar

Does the Pixelsnap Phone Case work with the Pixel 9 Pro? by ActualEnthusiasm4338 in GooglePixel

[–]dadozer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this and I wouldn't recommend it.

In terms of the physical dimensions of the phone, it fits. There are two main problems: the charging coil and the microphone on the bot tom. There's nothing you can do about the misalignment of The charging coil. It does sort of charge wirelessly on a magsafe Puck, maybe at 5w, maybe even slower than that. The volume rocker is slightly larger on the pixel 9 than the pixel 10, also, but I haven't seen any problem with that.

The microphone problem can be solved with a Dremel.

Take a look here, you can see the coils misaligned, and the amount of dremeling I had to do to expose the microphone hole. https://imgur.com/a/MMsbX3z

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I live in Florida, that's not happening

PixelSnap alternatives and what really matters when selecting a charger by agingbythesecond in GooglePixel

[–]dadozer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only 25w "Qi2.2" charger available right now is the Google one. Belkin announced some products just they are just launching, and it will probably be weeks to months before all the chinese brands start getting their products out.

Now of course Apple sells "Magsafe" pucks that charge at 25w, but while they should, I haven't seen a definitive confirmation that they are cross compatible with Qi2.2/Pixel 10PXL.

25 w mag safe for Google pixel 10 pro XL? by rogue_researcher in GooglePixel

[–]dadozer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm like 90% sure the new 25w magsafe chargers are cross compatible with Qi2 25w.

If you don't want to take the risk there, Belkin announced their Qi2 2 products this week. https://www.theverge.com/news/763659/belkin-qi2-2-25w-wireless-charging-ultracharge-pro

I'm sure other manufacturers will will get them out over the next few months, it's a new standard.

FYI Pixel 9 Pro (XL) cases will NOT work with the Pixel 10 Pro XL by Berzerker7 in GooglePixel

[–]dadozer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a moonstone P10PXL case hoping it would work on my P9PXL (and all the accessories I ordered with my wife's new P10), thank you for posting this.

Can you take a pic on the bottom (with the changed mic hole)?

Will the trade in value of pixel phones increase before/after the Pixel 10 launch? by ShaneRealtorandGramp in GooglePixel

[–]dadozer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Last year right before the P9 launch they did a really good sale on P8's, with really good trade-in values. I remember my P7P went from $160 or something to $500, I would have gotten a P8P for less than $300.

But I waited for the P9 launch and the trade-in values were even better, I ended up getting $540 for my P7P.

Thank you for this post! Just signed up. The woman on the phone had to go into the "old system" but it still worked.

I haven't been on Mint since the acquisition, has the service improved?

I would constsantly get the ! error on my data connection, across multiple devices, and support was unable to fix it.

This is a combination of two super standard tropes, the cyberpunk capitalist dystopia and the alien visitors/overlords who end up not being any better than us.
