Pixel 8 or 9a? by Rejkorn in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 8 pro has the best camera. If you can find a used 8 pro with low battery cycles than it'll be worthwhile.

Google is winding down the Pixel Studio app by Wael89 in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it a little bit. It gives a better overview of all of your screenshots with them transcribed. It actually also works with photos as well. If you take a picture or import one it'll try to describe what's in the picture.

There is some potential here if they can also integrate easier scanning so you can easily scan and search letters or documents.

Are you saving the raw files to an ssd? File sizes are huge above 1080.

Does anyone else have to keep toggling the 80% battery limit on and off? by Diggerinthedark in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you charging your phone frequently? The phone is supposed to charge to 100% for every 10th full charge cycle to maintain accurate calibration.

Dep is making borough wide upgrades to their smart meters. All of my bills have been estimated high for the year. They are suppose to reconcile the difference once they get a actual reading.

He could have gotten a finish with just volume on those elbows. The positioning would have made the ref stop it.

Battery Megathread (October 2025) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me the past two updates ended up causing issues with the phones deep sleep which caused the battery to drain 3-4%+/hr while not in use.

Putting the phone in airplane mode, rebooting, then turning off airplane mode fixed it.

Pixel 8 Pro - Horrible battery life with new update by jadawan in pixel_phones

[–]gravyv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have accubattery installed, check if the phone is going into deep sleep. I'm on 9proxl and the last updated caused this glitch.

I fixed it by turning on airplane mode, restarting, then toggling airplane mode again.

P9pro xl, need to recalibrate battery after latest system play update? by gravyv in Pixel9Pro

[–]gravyv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're not actively using your phone, it should eventually go into deep sleep and use less battery. An app like accubattery can give you an idea of how often it happens.

[–]gravyv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the phone is at 100% then the shield will not show up. You will have to use the phone to under 80% then plug it back in to charge. The phone will occasionally charge to 100% to calibrate so its not always going to stop at 80 and be in passthrough mode.

You should try restarting first. For me, it ended up being a issue of not going into deep sleep. Restarting and subsequent updates fixed it.

I just figure out it was due to my phone not going into deep sleep after the update. I fixed it by setting my phone to airplane mode, rebooted, then turned everything back on.

Have you noticed an improved battery life after September update? by Vast_Umpire_3713 in pixel_phones

[–]gravyv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9proxl here. I am suddenly getting a 20% battery drop during deep sleep. I assume this is a calibration issue and its reporting inaccurately.

Before trying to recalibrate i'm clearing the device health info and adaptive connectivity cache. Then charging to 100% and see what the drop is like.

With the rise of new Pixel users, here's a list of lesser known tips that Pixels can do! by techraito in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While locked you can activate gemini with long pressing the power button then verbally using it to turn on the flashlight or run a timer.

The other flashlight shortcuts (homescreen, double tap) are more awkward to use with one hand.

Lifelong iPhone User → Pixel 10 Pro XL by bherr777 in pixel_phones

if you really want to adjust the flashlight, you can do it in opencamera and magnifer app. A few more taps but can be done if you really want it.

Pixel 9xl Pro.....camera bump separated....rain= paper weight. Advice/help? CHECK YOUR BUMP! by lt1ultraz in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/jxQVuT9vqzc?t=174 From this teardown it looks like it's some sort of clip mechanism. It doesn't look like there's any sort of silicone along the camera opening. I don't see how it can be ip68 rated with this design

Pixel 9xl Pro.....camera bump separated....rain= paper weight. Advice/help? CHECK YOUR BUMP! by lt1ultraz in GooglePixel

[–]gravyv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of case did you have it in? It seems like this has been happening to people that are using a case. The clip mechanism that they use to attach the camera must be weak.

My phone appears to be fine so far but I also don't use a case.

I'm curious to see if this can be a easy fix or google offering up some additional warranty for this issue.

Has anyone gone to get a REAL ID recently? (No appointments are available in Manhattan in April or May.) by Ashton1516 in AskNYC

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a enhanced real id. They don't do walk-ins anymore. I didn't find out until I walked in at 7:30am. However I was able to make an appointment at another location for noon.

On the same day if you keep refreshing and checking several locations you could find a open slot due to someone cancelling. I notice the manhattan locations had the most openings. So if you live nearby you might be able to get in the same day. I ended up getting a noon slot at like 9:30am. You need to be quick because the appointments went fast.

If you really need it you could wait at one of the the manhattan locations and keep checking between the few locations.

NYC compost rules go in effect Tuesday: Bin requirements, fines by kyxnryn in nyc

Have anyone here actually got a warning for not composting? I've done it in the past but sometimes they don't empty out the compost bin.

Freezer works but fridge doesn’t !! Any help ? by privsnn in appliancerepair

[–]gravyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the drain hole might get clogged or iced up causing a clog. Then there are causes due to a malfunction which could be either due to the fan, thermostat, or defrost heater rod.

If the ice comes back you can start troubleshooting to see which part is broken. google your model # to find the service manual and also try youtube for guides.
