    standby battery usage

    The last time I had my phone off the charger and went to bed it only dropped 5% over 8 hours. Could be a rogue app, poor connection with cell or wifi. Do you have ambient display to always on. On my 3a that ate through battery like crazy. I have that set to show when I trigger the soli sensor...

    Pixel 4: Face unlock to lock screen or home screen?

    I absolutely love unlocking directly to my home screen. I was always annoyed with FaceID unlocking and then having to swipe to get to the home screen.

    Yikes!

    Demo phones run a locked down demo version of the software. They are there to highlight the key features and give a basic hands on experience. They in no way represent actual user experience. These phones are abused day in and day out by many many people. It's also safe to say that they are most...

    Initial thoughts on the pixel 4 xl

    To sum up my note 10 experience, the in display finger print is slow, the face unlock is slow. Had to factory reset after 2 days just to get Google assistant to control my home devices. After setting up my home devices in smart things, they stopped working after a day. I couldn't get them to...

    Initial thoughts on the pixel 4 xl

    I have the white pixel 4xl 64gb on sprint and purchased through sprint. I am coming from the pixel 3a. The pixel 3a was my first ever pixel phone and I used it for a month. I did try the note 10+ for a few days but had a less than desirable experience. I picked up the 3a knowing I would be...

    Battery life is incredible so far but...

    Having used faceid when it first came out on the iPhone x. These are similar issues it had initially, it only got better with updates. This is the first time Android has implemented this type of face unlock. It's going to have issues at first. Things will be ironed out with future updates.

    Returning Preorder Unopened ?

    I completely disregard the reviewers. They are people who are paid to get clicks on YouTube. Harsh titles and unjust reviews get the most views and clicks. Do you use your phone exactly like they did for the one week the "reviewed" the phone. If so then I guess send it back.

    The reason why 90hz is supported at 75% + brightness.

    According to this the display will automatically switch between 90 and 60. At 75% brightness and higher the switch isn't noticable. However below 75% there is a screen flicker. To avoid a whole bunch of people complaining about that. They chose to limit the brightness to 75% and up to give the...

    Major Flaw in Face Unlock - You no longer have a choice

    Is there a reason you agreed to a screen share with out closing all of your recent apps. It's not really the phones fault or the password manager. Anytime I have ever done a screen share. They always tell you to close any sensitive information you don't want to be viewed. I don't see how you...

    Pixel 4 reviews

    My favorite part about phone reviews is battery life. Hello I get paid to use the crap out of a new device then complain about its battery life after constantly using it and showing it off while I review the phone. IMO I feel like one week usage reviews are pretty pointless and utterly useless...
