My opinion is that unless you're willing to give up the very functional fingerprint sensor of the P5, you should stay with it. I moved from the 4a5G to a P6 and while the phone itself is very good, the fingerprint reader is a huge fail. Slow, in accurate and has no business being under the...

Previously I had a Pixel 3 and my Windows 10 PC had no trouble connecting to it. Since I got the 4a5G this is what happens: 1) I connect the phone to either a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port (same results, no difference). 2) Windows give the "USB connection" warble and the phone beeps. 3) No connection...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I guess I'll give it a week or so and see if it clears itself up. I seem to recall I had to wait a few days when I first tried to get Chat Features enabled on the previous Pixel 3. Meanwhile I've removed the beta version and gone back to the standard version...

I just upgraded from a Pixel 3 to a Pixel 4a5G. The Pixel 3 was running the beta version of Messages and Chat Features worked just fine. After the switch I went online to my account and logged my Google account off of the Pixel 3. So, it is powered off and no longer registered. Now, when I...

I would like to know if anyone else using Google Fi has found that they are unable to switch carriers after applying the Dec 2019 update? Normally I use Fiswitch to simplify the task of switching between Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cell. I found that this app no longer is able to perform the switch...

Thanks. By using esfile I was able to get my audio file to appear in the My Sounds and set it for notifications.

Thanks for your reply, but I think you missed my point. When I go through these steps to select the notification sound I want to be able to choose my own custom sound file. How do I get my own sound files to appear as a choice verses the Pixel defaults? I'm assuming that is what the "My...

All I want to do is change the notification sound to my own custom file. I thought this would be easy - go figure? I see that the Pixel 3 uses the new sound interface when you go to alter the notification setting. When I choose the My Sounds folder nothing is there except the Google Hangouts...

Yeah, I guess. But I know what their first response will be - "have you done a factory reset yet?" I'm trying to avoid doing one of those. Though it looks inevitable. **UPDATE** I contacted Pixel support. They asked that I do a factory reset. Kinda figured they would. **UPDATE PART 2** A...

Correct. As shown in the screenshot on my 1st post, I don't have the option for "history" being displayed at all. I previously had this enabled with the shortcut on the home screen. It was just a couple of days ago I noticed the shortcut had disappeared - and with no way of restoring it.

Thanks, but I already tried that (discovered that possible solution in one of my many earlier searches on this). I have also tried disabling batter optimization for the Pixel Ambient svc. Still no history :(

See the screenshot below when I search Help for "now". Selecting any of the 3 options goes to the same Now Playing setting screen where the Now Playing History is still missing. There should be some songs listed there as in your screenshot as I just did some testing where it correctly identified...

While I've had continual issues with the Now Playing feature, things have gotten worse. Previously, like a lot of people NP would just stop working. I could always get it to work by rebooting the phone. It would work for 2 days then stop. Now, I just noticed that the home screen shortcut I had...

Yeah, same here. I even tried making VPN connections to other parts of the country to see if my location mattered. But, still no Feb update. I wonder what's going on? Oh well, might as well skip this one and wait for March's.

I really like the look and feel of Dbrand's Black Dragon on my Pixel 3.
