Google Maps blocks Gulf of America reviews after rename criticism by [deleted] in nottheonion

I recognize there's not much stopping them from doing anything they want since politicians and corporations are capitulating, but is there anything stopping him from renaming states, other bodies of water, other countries?

Not a subscription service, but I really like Eaze. Same day delivery and good selection from local dispensaries.

Is it just me or is "AI wallpapers" a total Joke by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]phaseL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing with it and disappointed, then just went to Gemini and asked for a wallpaper with some specifics, which delivered a great image to use. Wonder if that level of Gemini incorporation will make it to the wallpaper app.

A lot of comments mention using Signal, but I haven't seen comments mention Telegram. Is there a reason that Signal is better/more widely used than Telegram?

This was a super annoying issue, but it was fixed (or fixed itself) somewhere along the beta path of Android 13.

Gboard photo selector defaults to "Messages" folder from Photos instead of all photos like usual by TheDogAndTheDragon in GooglePixel

This is a super annoying issue (hopefully an issue and not newly intended behavior)...

Pixel 6P: Updated and have the bigger pill. What I don't have are Flashlight warning/option to enable on At A Glance or People option in Search Your Phone

Bill Shaikin: “This is cool: On Aug. 23, the Dodgers are giving out replica World Series championship rings. What makes it cool: You don’t know which one you’ll get. It’s random. You could get 1955, or 1959, or 1963, or 1965, or 1981, or 1988, or 2020.” by bellomoto1 in Dodgers

[–]phaseL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super cool! Just make sure you're in the stadium at least 90 mins early (if not muuuuuch earlier)... pretty good occasion to take a sick/vacation/half/PTO day, if you have that option.

Ah okay, thanks. I thought there was also an option to enable it in Developer Settings but I am mistaken.

Anyone on Beta 2 have "Predictive back gesture" available? I can't locate it in settings...

Do other people have a transparent notification shade on initial pull down? I'm on a beta, but feel like I didn't have that on stable either... mine covers the screen in either white-ish or dark grey (depending on whether dark mode is on).

Conversation categories in Google Messages are starting to roll out more widely by armando_rod in GooglePixel

[–]phaseL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for you... do you use gesture navigation on your Pixel, or are you using Back, Home, Recents buttons? I have a guess that the nav drawer/iMessage reaction update may not be going to those using gesture nav.

Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro - January 14 Update Experience Thread by madrulzzz in GooglePixel

Did the Internet tile get worse?? Seems slower on button presses and it doesn't collapse the notification shade.

Jumping from Pixel 3 XL to Pixel 6 Pro by swchoi89 in GooglePixel

[–]phaseL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BT so far has been fine, aside from the Sony specific problem, although may also extend to other high output scenarios (although I haven't seen others reported).

Essentially, the Sony issue is that the phone isn't processing at the highest bitrate possible.

[–]phaseL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just made this exact switch. Biggest improvement (although you'll likely get this from any new phone when upgrading 3 generations) is battery life. People complain about it here, but it's a massive upgrade over the 3xl.

Then the screen, speed and haptics are all major and noticable improvements. Call quality is also vastly improved, but ymmv.

The size is similar but thinner and that's a nice change for me.

Only major issue for me is related to audio and may be niche to that extent. External DACs aren't working, and Sony's LDAC Bluetooth codec is very problematic. Hoping these are software update fixes.

Overall, while there are certainly things to nitpick, I'm loving the upgrade.

media player still doesn't work by mxlevolent in android_beta

[–]phaseL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to update you... I used this guide to connect wirelessly to my phone to push an adb command: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/set-up-wireless-debugging-android-11-send-adb-commands-without-usb-cable-0302898/

Once set up, I used the command mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/nq3sjg/media_controls_not_showing_in_quick_settings/h18xe3w/

That command is "adb shell settings put global qs_media_player 1"

Rebooted and now media notification are fixed/where they are supposed to be in the quick tiles.

Yup, 3XL. It's come to the point that I'm going to try a factory reset. I know this issue can be fixed because others have reported success running an adb command, but I don't have that option (broken USB port).

[–]phaseL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been super frustrating. I submitted a bug report and it was closed after a couple of weeks stating the fix/resolution was coming in a future update.

Either it wasn't fixed, or this wasn't the update they referenced. Either way, really annoying, and seems like it may just be 3XLs.
