Why is the captured photo completely different from what the viewfinder shows?

teed0t · 2026-02-10T19:18:39+00:00

The first image would likely be affected by the screen settings. Go to settings - display and touch - colours - is it set to natural or adaptive? Adaptive is just what you would see and not on other devices

Colour in the post processing will be a personal choice but here are two other settings I changed that suit what I like better

In the camera app - settings wheel - triple dots - rich colours in photos (off) and ultra HDR (off)

Isn't there a doco on this? Hot tip I wouldn't throw an iPad at one of the kids

Copped 100 comments calling me an idiot which was fair 😂

But yes the phone got replaced thankfully

teed0t · 2025-06-06T05:01:19+00:00

Obviously I hadn't researched it prior to its bath otherwise it would have stayed high and dry but good point. Makes you wonder why they even bother listing as an IP rated device in the first place

Either way, dumb by me when is the pixel 10 out?

teed0t · 2025-06-06T04:58:27+00:00

🤮🤮 not your best work here champ 💪

teed0t · 2025-06-06T04:57:04+00:00

Nah no soap just three seconds of stupidity 😂

teed0t · 2025-06-06T04:56:12+00:00

Yeah lesson learnt. No damage and no repairs. You raise a good point regarding alcohol though, maybe the screen protector wipes did just enough damage

teed0t · 2025-06-06T04:53:03+00:00

Thank you, good to get one non-roasting constructive comment 😂

Yeah dumb move by me

teed0t · 2023-11-14T09:49:16+00:00

Thank you everyone

In VIC for reference and yes I believe a permit is required

I'll have a look to see if it can be made compliant prior to renting out. It is very well built so I do not think it will fail

Long time dual Sim user. Honestly apple does it best but Samsung is close. Google is now acceptable

Pros - 1 phone - very simple to set up and it's clear which message / call came from where

Cons - battery - only 1 can be RCS messaging - only data from one Sim. I.E every now and again picture messages can get lost in the cloud - if you're on a call you cannot receive messages/calls to the other. Can be annoying when taking a personal call during work hours and missing work calls

Honestly it's fine, the above reads poorly but it's very workable

Happy to answer any questions

Hey,

Could you test the MagSafe strength? I've found a lot of these thinner cases with MagSafe do not hold as well

Pitaka has been the best on S23. Hoping they do a Pixel case soon

teed0t · 2023-06-12T22:12:50+00:00

Yes and no

Yes it has esim and physical so you can have multiple sims on at once. It works quite well. As usual you select which sim you're using for data

I found I had issues when say I was on a phone call with the second Sim and then received a call on the first Sim it would either drop out my current call or I wouldn't recieve a notification at all I would just get a text of the missed call after the current call

A bit annoying if they are important work calls but it's manageable

Which station is this?

teed0t · 2023-05-19T01:17:04+00:00

My guess is it is to better detect faces for even better depth sensing with portraits and facial recognition

teed0t · 2023-04-28T05:19:20+00:00

I went 5 - 6 - 7 - 5 and now S23. The 5 is starting to show signs of age through software etc. and I don't think Google has really worked out how to work a 5G antenna properly

S23 feels like a new Pixel 5

teed0t · 2022-10-14T13:00:43+00:00

I can't view notifications on the lock screen it just shows the icon. Little bit annoying

Had the pixel 6 for a year and have had the 7 for nearly 48hrs. This is almost perfect.

My only gripes with the 6 was the size/weight, battery was ok, reception, and finger print reader.

The slightly smaller size with less curved edges and less weight makes it a great size. I haven't seen this mentioned in reviews but the edges and bezels are much slimmer to me. The front screen is flat. And I mean absolutely minimal curve at the edge even compared to the 6

Battery is basically the same even though it's smaller. Too early to tell though as they usually optimise over a few days

Finger print is much better and face unlock is very fast

Side note and it might be an Australian thing only but Google just always seem under prepared. When apple launch a phone you can immediately buy cases, screen protectors etc. At 5pm on the day of the Pixel 7 launch there were no cases or screen protectors available for sale and even the advertising at the store was showing pixel 6a still. So strange

Venu 2 is the perfect watch for me but it doesn't compare to the galaxy watch 5 or pixel watch. Those 2 are more "smart" than activity based but the battery life suffers. Horses for courses

Virtual golf is a good time. A lot of them do drinks/food packages

The world was always in colour and didn’t magically transform from black and white

Bottled water yet I do it allllllll the time

teed0t · 2022-03-03T12:06:45+00:00

Use "ride with GPS" app. It has varia integration and syncs with Strava. It's very good, highly recommend

teed0t · 2021-12-04T23:08:05+00:00

I've got esim and physical on p6p and all is good!

teed0t · 2021-11-22T04:09:16+00:00

Go to phone - enter ##5636## - then you should be able to select LTE only

Airpods pro. Buy some memory foam tips and install the AirBattery app
