    Quick high brightness when checking notifications

    Pixel 3 Battery reports

    This is my first full charge/use on my Pixel 3 non-xl. Do these numbers look normal? A lot of time spent messing with settings/getting used to things, not a ton of app use. The pixel launcher, phone idle, network standby, and android system all came up on the list and didn't know if that seemed...

    Quick high brightness when checking notifications

    Just noticed today that the Pixel 3 did not have a notification LED. That being said, I tend to frequently use the double tap to check notifications as well as the lift. I had noticed that sometimes, not always, when the screen appears using one of those methods, the brightness seems to be very...

    Pixel Dropdown Menu

    So I just got my new Pixel (came in today). It is pretty awesome so far, although I enjoyed the drop down menu on my GS6. I don't see any way to have the volume tile (for quick vibrate/full volume/mute modes) or the option to have the brightness bar on the first pulldown of the menu. Is there...

    Bixby button and fingerprint scanner

    I was looking to get one of those cases that has a partition between the camera and the FPS which seems like it would help. But as a lefty I was concerned about always having my hand over the bixby button, I played with some floor models and it didnt seem to be a huge issue but that was a short...

    Bixby button and fingerprint scanner

    Do the majority of the people find the Bixby button in the way or being touched/pressed accidentally? Regarding the scanner, is the camera easily smudged while trying to use this? Thinking about getting an S8 tomorrow but have concerns about these issues! Thanks.

    An older picture I took with the Nexus 4, edited with snapseed. The reflection makes you kinda feel like you are underwater but its a tunnel through a large shark/fish tank.

    Why aren't I receiving Gmail push notifications on the Galaxy S6?

    I made a thread about this before but it was my Yahoo mail app that suddenly stopped receiving push. It used to be instant which I liked because you didnt have to set it for sync intervals like 15m 30m etc. Doesnt seem to matter if im on WiFi or not

    Email notifications suddenly not working?

    Any suggestions? Seems to be happening with all other email apps too (gmail, stock, yahoo still). I used to receive them instantly on Yahoo, i dont remember changing any options and would prefer not to have to do a factory reset
