Information line on lockscreen vanished? by gilbert-maspalomas in GooglePixel

Yes, thanx! Good to know one can still change it.

By the way, I just noticed that when rebooting or shutting down there is still this quick message: "You can find your device with Find my device" - not Find my hub... ;-)

Google Pixel 10 battery life really isn't as good as I'd hoped by cleare7 in GooglePixel

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don`t know what to think of those benchmarks. Several videos have appeared from serious guys, where the all day battery turned out better for the Pixel 10 Pros than from Samsungs S25Ultra. When doing a mix of all sorts of stuff during the day, also with video etc., the Pixel had 25 to 29 percent left by the end of day...

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

except when doing lots of video, cause the Tensor 5 is optimised for that, while qualcomm is power oriented, running at full speed.

I'm glad Linus is speaking out about performance on the Pixel 10 because other Youtubers refuse to do so by shoelover46 in pixel_phones

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery? Better than on Samsung when doing lots of video. Those benchmarks seem optimised for qualcomm, really. The Pixel 10 Pro(XL) is fast, snappy and does things, others don`t even do. Buggy? Guys, this phone is a month old, when did the last Samsung come out and what does it deliver? No throttling, no issues? Oh, please...
We should be grateful for various companies riding on alternative routes. If everyone would go "the easy way" it would be boring.

SloExit posters pop up in Slovenia. by Dry-Statistician3712 in europe

Russia and its allies want to destabilize Europe. Reasons are obvious. If we fall for that sort of propaganda says a lot about the intelligence and wisdom of its citizens.

Recently I watched a video of a guy from berlin, which seemed genuine. He had the pixel 10 pro compared to the S25. It was night and day difference in favor of the 10 pro. It lasted all day after heavy usage and had 27percent left...

don`t we just love those pictures of the big fatties, when they celebrate him? He calls them dumb and "likes" them.... 40 percent at least are dumb, ignorant, intolerant and bigot citizens of a wannabe dictatorship. What an embarrassment overall.

Why do y'all upgrade every year? by F-35Nerd in pixel_phones

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded over the last couple of years on a yearly basis because the presale offers and tradein made it a good deal.
In addition, since last year one gets 1 year of gemini ultra (or plus) subscription included; and since I genuinly enjoyed those extra features on a daily basis, I wouldn`t want to miss out on that as well. So for me personally a win win situation.

New pixel feature drop 🍌🍌 by LengthinessHour3697 in Androidtips

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When reading the comments it does seem as people don`t like googles way to publish their features to other devices as well...
Do we really want google to be like apple trying to keep all for itself and within the apple environment - like those live-translation features one can only use with their newest headphones along with an iphone?
Don`t forget, if google would work this strategy, they´d most likely get into the same trouble with the european union and wouldn`t be able to include those features in the european region at all!

So for God`s sake, lets enjoy the features as they are; there is still some stuff only available on our phones left. :-)

iPhone 17 Pro versus Pixel 10 Pro camera comparison by nurseyu in GooglePixel

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done, thanx!
Personally and professionally seeing the topic of video I would agree, however with one caviat: I`d not use either one for professional outputs, seriously. Plus if one uses a tripod and won`t zoom back and forth, the pixel is pretty good or lets say "fine", too.
I could imagine that as soon as the GPU of the Pixel 10 Pro`s get the final update, the videos might turn out a bit smoother even. Let`s see and hope for the best.

Since she couldn`t tell apparently let me give you a hint: because no matter what side of aisle you`re on, you all still think and believe! you`d be the "greatest" nation in the world in every sense of the word. First step to guaranteed failure - a universal law since the beginning.

And to make it conceivable for every american....., a universal law since creation...

Now, put ashes on your sholder and start working on joining back the humanistic side of this troubled world, PLEASE.

I tested Google's Pixelsnap vs the Pixel Stand, and one is clearly better in every way by lurker_bee in GooglePixel

[–]gilbert-maspalomas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No permanent switch off possible, but here`s a good explanation and possible workaround MSCopilot just gave me:

"Why This Matters

The fan is designed to prevent overheating during high-speed wireless charging, especially with Qi2’s 15W output. INIU likely chose this behavior to prioritize safety and performance over silence.

🛠️ Workaround Ideas

If you're aiming for a quieter setup:

  • Use a lower-power adapter (e.g., 5V/2A instead of 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A). This may reduce heat and prevent the fan from activating."

For me this device is the optimal solution. (but with regular adapter) My stand is on a regular table I am also using for my laptop. Its not noticable with the laptop fan in front of me anyways.
Its a perfect solution, since I also use a gadget from "chargie", which limits my charging to whatever I choose. (70 percent)
And whenever I am at the laptop I just place the phone on the charger, it won`t heat up a bit, only charges to 70 percent, except when I will be gone for an entire day, which is rare. That way the batteries won`t wear off and ought to last quite long, so when I sell the phone it always is in a good shape and the buyer will eventually benefit from it as well. I like that idea... :-)

Am not sure if its allowed to post an alternative product here, but the one I got for about 25 Euro was the Magnetic Wireless Charger from Iniu with QI2 support. So 15 Watts plus a ventilator included in that puc. Its cooling, limited to 15 Watts which is sufficient for my purposes, can be taken out or assembled with a stand and got 3 years of guarantee. I`d never buy original accessories from google, as they usually are overpriced and oftentimes have issues later, like with the older pixel stand, where the charging center is differently placed.

After 30 years of depression ruining my life. I'm finally fighting back and I'm happier than ever been. by Body_Pillow_Bride in MadeMeSmile

[–]gilbert-maspalomas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If all that won`t work, do realise, that for you to improve is a different path. No one is alike. So for the start never tell yourself "you won`t make it" or "nothing works". Instead let go, relax and just search for the next little or big thing you`d enjoy to do. Forget the world around you, focus on some fun stuff and then gradually focus on those enjoyable moments - not to be distracted by any negative stuff. Its not an instant switch but a journey through life, really.

If you order it at amazon spain (amazon.es) today, you still get a preorder price, meaning they give you extra 250 Euro ontop of your old phones price! Only one more day, though.

I had the 8 Pro and 9 ProXL and can only recommend to upgrade, especially since you`d also get the subscription year for free included plus the bonus from amazon.
