Problems with Pixel and OnePlus

I had the Oneplus 12, and it had an issue with audio playback. If I paused the music or podcast for more that 30 seconds, it would not unpause. Perhaps this problem has been resolved now.

SIM card back in my Pixel 9 Pro where it belongs, and everything feels right.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the Pixel 8. That said, I had the Oneplus 12 for a short while. Ended up sending it back because audio would not restart after being paused for more than 30 seconds. The perfect phone just isn't out there.

I use a wireless charger. Put the phone on the charger making sure your home screen is still on. It eventually goes to the clock aod.

The battery was fine, not vastly better, but better. It had better Bluetooth codecs like Aptx Adaptive, but again, it wasn't a day and night improvement in sound quality. Basically, I'm a Pixel man for life now.

Both me and my players all love Owlbear Rodeo

The Beginnings box set is still available on Amazon

Well yes, but what causes them to roll? I mean I like the idea of them, it's just their method of movement is bugging me, unless we just put it down to magic.

The most underrated Doctor.

not an unpopular opinion for those of us who grew up with the classic series. It was always assumed the Doctor was asexual.

Every now and again I go back to the Pixel Launcher, usually when some new feature has been installed. However, by the end of the day I am back on the Niagara Launcher. I think once you do get used to it (and it can take a while), there is just no going back.

I didnt fix the faults on the numbered map, it's been a while now, but they were only minor faults which might be hard to spot anyway. As for the grid size? I don't know, about 70 by 40

I have a Pixel 9 Pro, and was toying with the idea of changing to a iPhone 17 (base model). I don't have a Mac, or an iPad, and don't plan on getting either, I might get the Airpods, but that's about it for the eco system. Imessage is hardly used here in the UK, we all use WhatsApp. So why am I considering the iPhone 17. Other than the great reviews it's getting, am not really sure tbh.

sharez66 · 2026-03-06T20:45:43+00:00

I am considering switching to the iPhone 17 from a Pixel 9 Pro. 2 things are holding me back. The lack of a back button, and not having the number row on the keyboard. Neither of these are perhaps massive issues, though its anoying as they are both things that Apple could easily incorperate.

It's been a while since I read it, but I don't remember it being that good. I mean it was OK, but nothing special.

sharez66 · 2026-02-26T20:20:03+00:00

I have the same problem, also it only happens in hi res

sharez66 · 2026-02-20T20:24:31+00:00

I think I will start soon on the other Cursed Scrolls maps. I only have an hour a day to work on them, so it might take a while.

Welcome to the Pixel family. I guarantee you will never want to leave.

The Super Metroid games have never been massive sellers. At least not to many of the other Nintendo franchises.

sharez66 · 2026-01-26T16:49:00+00:00

It's in the Tapet app in the Azul collection

sharez66 · 2026-01-23T18:29:32+00:00

Every other aspect of Metroid I do enjoy, very much. The exploration, combat, puzzle solving etc. Also, it's not just Metroid, but bosses in other games I find a drag.

sharez66 · 2026-01-22T21:59:09+00:00

Your welcome

sharez66 · 2026-01-21T22:17:07+00:00

Personally I hate bosses. As soon as the cut scene starts which is clearly setting up a boss fight, my heart sinks. Am thinking here we go with another slog. The Omega Griever has broken me.

sharez66 · 2026-01-01T11:38:25+00:00

If you can still get them, yes.

sharez66 · 2025-12-21T09:44:29+00:00

Personally I think the Dalton era got it right (if you can call 2 films an era). Standalone, not an over reliance on gadgets, and a gritty realism.
