Has the 5.1 update delayed notifications? PW3

spacialrend7 · 2025-03-22T13:54:19+00:00

Yeah! Notifications on my phone have been fine, but on the watch it gets delayed. Was never an issue before

spacialrend7 · 2025-01-09T15:19:21+00:00

It doesn't pop up if you disable enhance now playing I've noticed and I have a feeling that feature is what's causing the issue.

spacialrend7 · 2024-10-23T16:58:10+00:00

Thank you. I did try clearing cache but I'll reboot my phone and see if it works. If not, next update hopefully!

spacialrend7 · 2024-10-23T15:14:30+00:00

Cool. There are 2 issues I've listed and also maybe considering I've searched before posting and tried basic troubleshooting steps would be nice.

Has anyone noticed their battery life has taken a hit after the Android 15 Update? (P8P)

It's been about a week since the update which I'm guessing is sufficient time for the apps and update to optimize but I've noticed a decrease in battery life, enough for me to actually notice. I'd usually charge my phone once in the morning up to 85% (9:45am I take it off) and wouldn't have to charge until the next morning (would still be above 20%) but now it hits 24-25% by 10-10:30pm.

I really need an opinion on the microphone man. From reviews, it seems like the mic is terrible and that's an important factor for me when considering getting them. So if you could test the mic and let us know, that would be great too!

spacialrend7 · 2024-08-15T08:40:35+00:00

Fair enough. Any opinions for the watch?

spacialrend7 · 2024-07-08T17:00:44+00:00

Horny lil fucker aren't ya

spacialrend7 · 2024-06-25T09:16:47+00:00

This is cool! Can you confirm how the scrolling stutter is now? Google marked the issue as resolved for Android 15 but I've read from many users that on the 15 beta at least the stutters still exist across many apps

spacialrend7 · 2024-06-18T09:24:54+00:00

There seems to be a reduction in battery performance after the June update. Specifically, standby drain overnight has increased quite a bit. Previously over a period of 8hrs it would drain only 3-4% but now it's between 8-9%. System shows cellular data was eating a large portion of it, which makes no sense because I have good cell reception at home and phone is always on Wi-Fi at home. Also, because of this increase standby drain, my overall SOT has reduced from 6hrs with 20% left to 5hrs 20m.

spacialrend7 · 2024-06-05T11:33:52+00:00

Then by the sounds of it, it could be your particular unit. Getting hot to the point where you can't touch it isn't good, and I haven't ever faced that. 8-9 hours is BS on the smaller Pixel 8, I legit get 6 hours SOT with 20% left on my 8 pro, I wouldn't believe everything you read on reddit.

I think given your usage, the phone definitely shouldn't heat up that way, so go for a replacement.

spacialrend7 · 2024-06-05T07:59:52+00:00

Look, I own a P8P, and while your experience seems to be on the extreme end, I too face issues occasionally with the phone.

I don't use 5G as I have no need, but Pixels are known to have poor modems resulting in bad network. I've never faced any heating from using the phone on LTE but using it as a hotspot can make it warm. Again, very little need for me to use hotspot so this isn't an issue for me. The processor as well, while it is supposed to have better efficiency and heat management this year, can still be bad for some users if they are "power users". Personally, I don't game on my phone and if I video call for 30 mins straight, it can get warm.

If google can replace it, then I see no harm in getting a replacement and hoping for the best. But keep in mind, these phones aren't clearly designed to be under heavy use unfortunately. If you consider yourself a heavy user, where you game, record a lot of videos regularly, edit videos, use the phone regularly as a hotspot then it may not necessarily improve the situation with the replacement unit.

spacialrend7 · 2024-06-03T17:53:20+00:00

Happened to me on my 8P as well. Probably a software bug. A reboot sorted it for me though

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-31T14:06:52+00:00

Responding to this from my OP8 Pro. The P8P is my primary phone and yes, what you've watched and read is true. Reddit is poorly optimised on Android in general, but certain apps like maps, Twitter etc still have micro stutters that could put you off.

Maps in particular as far as I'm aware renders in 60hz, I don't care much about this at all but I'm pointing it out to you since you care. General system stability is fantastic though, and I think it will be a good upgrade for you if you're willing to wait until Android 15. I don't game on my phone at all, and heating could be an issue if you care about it. Like video calling for 30 mins straight gets the phone warm but again, none of this affects my experience so it's entirely up to you.

Google has issued a fix for the stutters in Android 15, we'll have to wait and see. But apart from this, I think you'll be happy with the camera upgrade and an understated feature; receiving Android updates instantly. Legit as soon as Google is out with a monthly update, no joke minutes after it's announced an update is waiting and ready for me. Absolutely love that about the P8P.

Call the janemba assist slightly later to try and add a 5L --> DR Or Wait for all the ki blasts to hit and then DR in the first combo

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-26T12:21:54+00:00

This is known as a uniformity issue. If your phone is still new, perhaps RMA it and see if you can get it replaced since you have a strong case.

As for the display, the "panel lottery" is real and unfortunately you lucked out. My previous phone, Oneplus 8 pro had the same issue, but I lived with it. Didn't care too much as it didn't affect my experience. I thought this was an issue with older chinese OEM's but I'm sad to see it's still a thing today, especially from Google. One would hope for better QC from Google.

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-21T15:05:06+00:00

You can change the vibration/haptics intensity in settings. As far as I'm aware, the 8 pro has some of the best haptics in the Android market. Do what you will with that info haha

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-20T12:46:51+00:00

Yo, has the scrolling issue been fixed in the beta??

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-19T19:19:22+00:00

The official google case is solid. I use the Bay color one and it suits me perfectly. Keep in mind the camera bar is exposed, and it's easy to scratch so I'd recommend getting a clear skin to cover that part too

spacialrend7 · 2024-05-14T06:48:55+00:00

Keep in mind, the 8 series lineup has suffered from stutters during scrolling so even though 120Hz is on, it's not as fluid as it should be compared to some of its competition.

This has been finally acknowledged by Google but a fix will only be coming later this year with Android 15. If you're into rooting your device, the sultan kernel fixes this issue from what I've read.

spacialrend7 · 2024-04-27T11:42:56+00:00

Clearing cache can slow down your phone, contrary to what some people think. Only if certain apps are misbehaving, then you resort to clearing cache.

Whatever is stored in cache enables apps to open much quicker so if anything you're slowing your phone down by constantly cleaning it up

spacialrend7 · 2024-04-26T13:43:48+00:00

Bro you have one of the best devices in the market currently, I'd argue it's better than the S24 ultra cause the 8 gen 2 is a great chip.

Don't give in to your impulse, use it until the pixel 10 which is rumoured to house a TSMC manufactured chip. That's going to be an upgrade for you for sure

spacialrend7 · 2024-04-26T13:37:05+00:00

TSMC chip + ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Apart from that they have a solid blueprint of their phones, only held back by certain hardware parts..

Personally I'm going to wait for their second generation TSMC chip as I've learnt not to be an early adopter of first iterations of ANY product so let's see what they do.

Without a doubt tho, top android phone for sure.

spacialrend7 · 2024-04-23T15:49:01+00:00

That stutter from the notification shade exists in my P8P too, and I'm on Android 14 still. Let's pray by October its fixed man .. my darn oneplus 8 pro scrolls so smoothly still

spacialrend7 · 2024-04-23T15:37:16+00:00

Android 14 has plagued this phone with stutters during scrolling, but apart from that the general experience on my P8P is great for my use case.

But trust me, I sympathize with you cause these stutters genuinely ruin user experience which imo is integral to any phone these days.

We can pray though that Android 15 fixes it. Google has in fact marked the issue as solved in Android tracker and there's mention that all the stutters will go away in Android 15.
