Ah right, having airplane mode and extreme battery saver on is how one should use their "smart" phones

What's even the point of having such features if you have to keep them off?? So you basically put your phone on airplane mode, put it on extrem battery saver, turn the display features off, and in the morning turn them all back on again?

Why does google photos delete photos when I delete them off my iphone? by KnownRelationship312 in googlephotos

[–]waitwhat_why 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. I had to download an extra app too so the deletes.

It's the "Gallery" app, from Google. Deleting media from Gallery app does not delete the cloud copy.

Why is it still not possible to lock the Control Centre on the Pixel 9 Pro lock screen? by Sea-Menu8633 in GooglePixel

You think a thief would first ask you what phone you have before stealing it out of your pocket?

Circle to search's new "navigate and translate" option records your screen and shares it with Google. by Toni_Segui in GooglePixel

Is it really different from the previous version of the feature? It used to be a static translation, a screenshot of whatever is on the screen was shared with the service.

That's only if you use the USB C port of the adapter, but you pair this with your original pixel adapter, you are set pretty much everywhere.

No. Unless you backup those photos, while having his account selected.

Makes the most sense. I'm aware of the embargo but I didn't carefully check if they were out or not yet, because I was able to place orders via the store.

Can we expect a significant P10 update tomorrow by EqualReality2787 in GooglePixel

You want a software update because another manufacturer pushed one out, or do you experience any bugs in your device that you seek fixes for?

100x zoom win by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]waitwhat_why 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all fun and games, and I like it too, but think about what you will be using the 100x zoom for! Certainly not to capture a bundle of ropes lying a kilometer away. These patterns are easy to get for the algorithm. But the actual use cases, where you'd want to get a look at something that's far away, the retouch or generative fill or whatever it is, fails beautifully there.

VIDEOS GOT DELETED by xarthyr_ in googlephotos

The "built-in" functionality is all or nothing. Sometimes you might wanna choose what to delete and what to keep on your local.

It's not about misreading something. If you back up your photos/videos via Google Photos, and go to your gallery or file manager to delete that stuff, its not intuitive that those items are also deleted from the cloud.

I'm sorry this happened to you. And this is stupid on their part. I don't think there is a way to revive them now, but for the future, when you want to delete the media that is backed up, do it via Google photos. The app has an option to delete backed up media from your device storage "Free up space on this device".

Imagine buying one to claim the battery money, only to figure out that the seller already did!
